Naruto: Multiverse Character Templates

"What is going on?"

Nawaki scratched his head and asked, "When did Natsuki learn so many terrifying ninjutsu?"

Blood Demon Art: Cold White Princesses, Lightning Giant, Blood Demon Art: Hoarfrost Waterlily Bodhisattva, and Iron Sand Sword.

This was the first time he had seen all four ninjutsu Natsuki had used.

"But their power is truly terrifying!"

Nawaki sighed in amazement.

Nonō nodded slightly.

She had never seen Natsuki use these four ninjutsu either.

However, every single one of them felt like an S-rank technique.

A look of admiration appeared in Nonō's eyes.

Ever since she had met Natsuki, he had constantly surprised her.

By now, he had long since become the most important person in her heart.

Miroku instinctively activated the power of her priestess line.

She was trying to sense Mōryō.

In the past, even when it was sealed, she could still vaguely detect its existence.

The truth proved that her earlier feeling had not been wrong.

Mōryō was truly gone. It had vanished from this world.

Miroku instinctively pinched herself.

After feeling the pain, excitement surged in her heart.

Natsuki truly was the savior of their priestess line.

She had already made up her mind. As long as he did not control the Land of Demons, she was willing to be controlled by him and obey every command he gave.

Natsuki stood where he was, digesting the new information.

As for defeating Mōryō, he did not find it surprising.

After all, both the Third Kazekage and the Fourth Kazekage could suppress the One-Tail, Shukaku, using Magnet Release.

Mōryō was said to be tailed beast-level, but in reality, it was far weaker than the Nine Tailed Beasts.

It was perfectly normal for Natsuki to defeat it using Blood Demon Art: Ice Crystals and Magnet Release.

Of course, he had also carefully considered revealing Magnet Release in front of Nawaki and Nonō.

Nearly four years had passed since the Second Shinobi World War.

During this time, he had continuously created and modified ninjutsu. He had even revealed two space-time ninjutsu, Unlimited Blade Works and Infinity Castle.

Strictly speaking, the difficulty of space-time ninjutsu was higher than many kekkei genkai.

If Natsuki revealed Magnet Release now, Nawaki and the others would be able to accept it.

In addition, his Magnet Release was different from that of the Third Kazekage and the Fourth Kazekage, so he could separate himself from them.

The Third Kazekage used Magnet Release: Iron Sand, while the Fourth Kazekage used Magnet Release: Gold Dust.

Although Natsuki's Magnet Release could also manipulate iron sand, judging from its presentation, calling it Magnet Release: Electromagnetism would be more appropriate.

If the combination of Magnet Release and Lightning Release spread, even the two Kazekage would not dare claim that Natsuki had learned his Magnet Release from them.

Of course, the most important point was that Natsuki's current strength, identity, and status were already enough to make others trust him.

Even if he openly claimed to be a spy from Sunagakure, everyone would only think he was joking.

As for Blood Demon Art: Ice Crystals, he could use the Chinoike clan's Blood Secret Techniques as an excuse.

Natsuki composed himself. He had finished receiving all the information.

He now had a new understanding of the Black Holy Grail.

With a thought, the Black Holy Grail rapidly shrank before sinking into his forehead.

In the blink of an eye, a Black Holy Grail mark appeared on his forehead.

It was very small, similar to the diamond-shaped mark of Tsunade's Strength of a Hundred Seal.

The way the Black Holy Grail was used was also similar to the Strength of a Hundred Seal.

During battle, once the Black Holy Grail was released, chakra would flow out from it and spread throughout his body.

Natsuki touched his forehead, and the Black Holy Grail mark disappeared.

He then activated the Black Holy Grail.

The next moment, Natsuki clenched his fist.

He could feel near-endless chakra surging out from the Black Holy Grail.

From now on, he would no longer lack chakra.

Of course, his chakra was still far from reaching the level of a tailed beast.

Natsuki had seen the Nine-Tails before. Compared to its chakra, Mōryō's chakra might not even amount to one-thirtieth of it.

The Nine-Tails he had seen was also sealed, with its chakra blocked by the seal, so it had not felt as overwhelming as it truly was.

However, compared to ordinary shinobi, Natsuki's chakra could now rank among the top three.

The only shinobi who might possess more chakra than him, or be roughly equal to him, were Madara and two Raikage.

Madara needed no explanation. With the Rinnegan and Mokuton, his chakra was second only to Senju Hashirama's.

In the original story, when the Fourth Raikage used Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Karin said his chakra was comparable to a tailed beast.

Regardless of whether that was exaggerated, it proved that Lightning Release Chakra Mode could greatly enhance chakra.

In short, both Raikage possessed astonishing chakra.

Even so, Natsuki was already satisfied.

Especially because the Black Holy Grail had not yet reached its limit.

[You have awakened the Kikyo Template.]

A line of text suddenly appeared.

Natsuki paused slightly.

Could it be Kikyo from Inuyasha?

He felt that it most likely was.

Kikyo was a priestess with great power. In Inuyasha, she had killed many demons and evil beings.

Miroku was also a priestess.

If placed in Inuyasha, Mōryō could also be considered a powerful demon or evil being.

That was probably why the Kikyo Template had been triggered.

As Natsuki thought about it, he opened the newly awakened Kikyo Template.

[Name: Kikyo.]

[Period: Shikon Jewel Arc.]

[World: Inuyasha.]

[Rank: S.]

[Ability One: Resurrection. Unlocked.]

[Effect: Immediately revives after death, but the body becomes clay and can summon Soul Collectors.]

[Ability Two: Sacred Arrow. Locked.]

[Effect: Shoots an arrow with great piercing power, reducing the target to ashes. It can break barriers and deals special damage to non-human targets.]

[Unlock Condition: Kill five Jonin from long range.]

[Ability Three: Sealing Arrow. Locked.]

[Effect: Shoots an arrow with sealing power, causing the target to fall into eternal sleep.]

[Unlock Condition: Learn five sealing techniques.]

[Ability Four: Defensive Barrier. Locked.]

[Effect: Uses chakra to create a defensive barrier that can resist various attacks and remain active even while sleeping.]

[Unlock Condition: Learn Four Red Yang Formation.]

[Ability Five: Concealing Barrier. Locked.]

[Effect: Uses chakra to create a barrier that hides the surrounding area.]

[Unlock Condition: Defeat five sensory Jonin.]

[Ability Six: Dimensional Seal. Locked.]

[Effect: Seals the target in a different space within the same dimension, rendering the target unable to move and preventing others from seeing them.]

[Unlock Condition: Learn one space-time ninjutsu, including a new ability developed from the Door-Door Fruit.]

[Ability Seven: Priestess Purification. Locked.]

[Effect: Purifies various impurities, curses, evil thoughts, and genjutsu. Deals special damage to Yin Release monsters.]

[Unlock Condition: Kill one Yin Release monster with at least Jonin-level strength.]

[Ability Eight: Opening the Gate of Hell. Locked.]

[Effect: Opens a gate leading to the Pure Land.]

[Unlock Condition: Learn Impure World Reincarnation.]

After reading it, Natsuki felt pleasantly surprised.

The Kikyo Template was even stronger than he had expected.

Ability One, Resurrection.

Without question, it was a divine ability.

In the shinobi world, ninjutsu with resurrection effects always came with a tremendous cost.

For example, Nagato's Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life Technique and Chiyo's forbidden technique, One's Own Life Reincarnation, both required the user to pay with their life.

Resurrection required no such price.

If he died, he would immediately revive.

The only drawback was that his body would become clay.

How should he put it?

In Inuyasha, a clay body looked no different from a normal human body.

It also felt no pain, did not age, and did not need food or breathing.

For many people, a clay body might actually be better.

Natsuki, however, did not want to lose his desires and ordinary needs.

Living in this world meant enjoying food, drink, and life itself.

Still, as a life-saving method, it was undoubtedly excellent.

In addition, it allowed him to summon Soul Collectors.

Soul Collectors were demons that gathered dead souls to maintain a clay body's activity.

Ability Two, Sacred Arrow.

Sacred Arrow was undoubtedly Kikyo's signature ability.

In Inuyasha, Sacred Arrow carried a holy attribute and was lethal against demons and evil beings.

At the same time, it could also destroy barriers.

After being localized by the system, both of those effects were preserved.

Destroying barriers would be very useful in war.

In ordinary battles, barriers were not always used, so breaking barriers would not always be necessary.

In Natsuki's opinion, the most surprising part was the final effect.

It dealt special damage to non-human targets.

The first thing Natsuki thought of was tailed beasts.

Tailed beasts were undoubtedly non-human.

Next were summoned creatures.

With Natsuki's strength, summoned creatures would rarely pose a threat to him, but tailed beasts could.

With Sacred Arrow, he would have a fairly good method against tailed beasts.

As for the exact effect of this special damage, he would only know after unlocking Sacred Arrow.

Its unlock condition was killing five Jonin from long range.

Killing five Jonin was not difficult, but killing them from long range was troublesome.

That was because Jonin were extremely fast.

The range of his Clairvoyance was four kilometers.

For many Jonin, four kilometers was a distance they could cross in the blink of an eye.

Unless his first arrow caused damage.

If the first arrow was dodged, then the target would most likely close in or flee.

Either outcome would mean failing to meet the unlock condition.

Natsuki rubbed his chin.

The best method would still be an ambush.

Ability Three, Sealing Arrow.

As the name implied, Sealing Arrow was an arrow with sealing power.

In Inuyasha, because Kikyo had not wanted to kill Inuyasha, she used the Sealing Arrow to seal him away instead.

The effect of the Sealing Arrow depended on the power used by the caster.

Kikyo used all her strength to seal Inuyasha and caused him to fall into a deep sleep.

If not for Kagome, he probably would never have escaped.

From that, it could be inferred that if Natsuki used all his strength, he might be able to permanently seal a Kage-level opponent.

Of course, that was assuming the arrow hit and no one else helped remove the seal.

Its unlock condition was learning five sealing techniques.

Natsuki possessed the talent for all seven chakra natures from the Hatake Kakashi Template. Although it would be difficult, he could still learn them.

After all, in the original story, Kakashi had used a sealing technique called Evil Sealing Method.

Ability Four, Defensive Barrier.

Although the name was rather simple, its effect was not weak.

In Inuyasha, the Defensive Barrier Kikyo created could only be entered by Kagome, who possessed the same soul.

In the shinobi world, that would be at least an A-rank or S-rank barrier.

Its unlock condition also confirmed this.

Four Red Yang Formation was an A-rank barrier.

This formation required four Kage-level shinobi to release chakra from four directions at the same time, creating a rectangular barrier made of red flames.

In the original story, it had two achievements.

The first was when Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, Hiruzen, and Minato used it to block the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball.

The second was when Kushina, Tsunade, Hiruzen, and Minato used it to block the True Chibaku Tensei.

Four Red Yang Formation was not easy to learn. Most shinobi were not even qualified to learn it.

Fortunately, as a shinobi belonging to the Hokage lineage, Natsuki could learn Four Red Yang Formation.

Ability Five, Concealing Barrier.

Its name was also quite simple, but in Inuyasha, this was exactly what it was called.

Its effect was equally impressive. It could conceal an entire area.

In the shinobi world, there were also concealment-type ninjutsu, but most of them only concealed the user.

Large-scale concealment techniques were extremely rare.

This ability would undoubtedly have considerable value in war.

Its unlock condition was defeating five sensory Jonin.

Compared to combat Jonin, sensory Jonin were fewer in number, but they were still more common than medical Jonin.

If he searched carefully, he should be able to find five.

Ability Six, Dimensional Seal.

In terms of effect, Natsuki felt it was similar to Tsubame Gaeshi from the Sasaki Kojirō Template. Both involved different spaces.

However, the former was a seal, while the latter was an attack.

In the shinobi world, it could be called a space-time sealing technique.

Sealing the target in a different space within the same dimension meant that aside from the user, only a very small number of shinobi would be able to locate the target.

For example, Minato and Obito, who also possessed space-time ninjutsu.

Its unlock condition was learning one space-time ninjutsu.

When Natsuki saw the first half of the condition, he was already prepared to give up. With his talent, learning a space-time ninjutsu would be nearly impossible.

Fortunately, developing a new ability from the Door-Door Fruit also counted.

After Natsuki unlocked the Door-Door Fruit, he could study how to unlock Dimensional Seal.

Ability Seven, Priestess Purification.

After reading it, Natsuki's first impression was that this was an ability used to dispel genjutsu.

That was before considering the final effect.

Once the final effect was included, special damage against Yin Release monsters, the value of this ability rose even further.

Unfortunately, there were very few Yin Release monsters in the shinobi world.

The Mōryō he had just defeated could be counted as half of one.

As for other Yin Release monsters, Natsuki thought for a long time before coming up with the Zero-Tails and Satori.

The Zero-Tails was a Yin Release monster created by Shinnō of Soragakure. Its power came from the darkness in people's hearts.

Satori was a Yin Release monster that appeared after someone made a wish using the Box of Ultimate Bliss from Kusagakure.

Natsuki suddenly thought of a question.

Did Susanoo count?

It was indeed Yin Release, but it was not a monster.

Natsuki shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Its unlock condition was killing one Yin Release monster with at least Jonin-level strength.

Both the Zero-Tails and Satori met the condition.

Ability Eight, Opening the Gate of Hell.

Natsuki's first reaction was that it was absurdly powerful.

It could actually open the Pure Land.

In Inuyasha, hell was hell.

But in the shinobi world, hell corresponded to the Pure Land.

The Pure Land was where the souls of people in the shinobi world went after death.

However, there was one issue.

After the Sage of Six Paths died, he became the administrator of the Pure Land.

In the original story, he even summoned the previous Kage from the Pure Land to help Naruto and the others.

In other words, if Natsuki opened the gate to the Pure Land, the Sage of Six Paths would definitely notice.

With his current strength, Natsuki was not yet able to contend with the Sage of Six Paths.

Its unlock condition was learning Impure World Reincarnation.

There was no need to say much about Impure World Reincarnation. It was a forbidden technique that had influenced the entire shinobi world.

Its effect was to summon the souls of long-dead shinobi back from the Pure Land and revive them in physical form.

It required part of the deceased soul's body and a living human as a sacrifice.

In the original story, Kabuto used an improved version of Impure World Reincarnation to summon a large number of dead shinobi and oppose the Allied Shinobi Forces of eighty thousand.

Impure World Reincarnation was a forbidden technique created by the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.

With Natsuki's current status and position, he could still learn it.

Like Four Red Yang Formation, learning it was only a matter of time.

Natsuki returned to his senses and appeared in front of Nawaki and the others with a single Soru.

"How did you kill Mōryō?" Miroku could not help asking.

"A secret."

Natsuki smiled lightly.

The Black Holy Grail was indeed his greatest secret.

When he used it earlier, he had deliberately turned away from Miroku and the others so they would not see it.

Miroku was immediately speechless.

"You hid this from us so well!"

Nawaki slapped his shoulder and asked, "Where did all those terrifying ninjutsu come from?"

"I created them myself."

Natsuki spread his hands.

"It's not that I wanted to hide them from you. I just didn't have a suitable target to show them on."

The corner of Nawaki's mouth twitched.

That answer deserved full marks for showing off.

But he was truly envious.

If he had that kind of talent, he would definitely be able to recreate the fame of his great-grandfather, Senju Hashirama.

"Mōryō is dead. Let's return to the priestess's temple."

After saying that, Natsuki carried Miroku on his back again.

The group returned the way they had come.

Natsuki and the others had already completed the mission, so they could actually return to Konoha, but they still needed proof.

A certificate issued by Miroku, the priestess of the Land of Demons.

In addition, Natsuki intended to have her issue more missions to Konoha in the future.

That was a reasonable request and had nothing to do with controlling the Land of Demons.

Natsuki mainly wanted to rely on this achievement to get promoted.

After returning to the priestess's temple, Miroku dismissed everyone else and kept only Natsuki behind.

The two looked at each other and fell into silence.

"You destroyed Mōryō. I will now keep my promise and accept your blood."

Miroku took a deep breath.

After seeing Natsuki's strength, she understood one thing.

He had not lied before.

With or without her, it would not be difficult for him to control the Land of Demons.

Since that was the case, Miroku could only choose to trust him and hope that he would keep his promise.

Natsuki extended his hand, and a drop of blood flew into her forehead.

A moment later, Miroku's panel appeared before him.

[Name: Miroku.]

[Race: Human, Demon.]

[Ability One: Partial Demonization. Locked.]

[Effect: Transforms the user into a half-human, half-demon state, increasing attack power, speed, and regenerative ability.]

[Unlock Condition: Comprehend it independently.]

[Ability Two: Full Demonization. Locked.]

[Effect: Completely transforms the user into a demon, further increasing attack power, speed, and regenerative ability at the cost of greater energy consumption.]

[Unlock Condition: Comprehend it independently.]

[Ability Three: Blood Demon Art: Summoning. Locked.]

[Effect: Uses blood as a medium to summon demons from another realm.]

[Unlock Condition: Comprehend it independently.]

Ability One and Ability Two were no different from those of Yahiko, Konan, and the others.

The greatest difference was Ability Three, Blood Demon Art: Summoning.

Natsuki rubbed his chin and thought of Gyokko, an Upper Moon among the Twelve Kizuki in Demon Slayer.

His Blood Demon Art allowed him to summon various aquatic creatures.

Mōryō was a demon from another realm.

Did Blood Demon Art: Summoning allow Miroku to summon various demons from the world where Mōryō originated?

Thinking carefully, that was reasonable.

The power of the priestesses shared the same origin as Mōryō and also came from another realm.

The only question was how strong these summoned demons would be.
