Naruto: Multiverse Character Templates

After thinking for a moment, Natsuki remembered.

In Demon Slayer, Hollow Cry, Divine Departure was the blade used by Kokushibō, Upper Moon One of the Twelve Kizuki.

It was a strange blade forged from his flesh and bones.

Even if it was cut apart, it would regenerate instantly.

Kokushibō's Blood Demon Art was also related to this blade.

His body could freely generate blades similar to Hollow Cry, Divine Departure.

Those blades could be used for attacks and could also release crescent-shaped slashes.

Natsuki thought about it and felt that Pakura had awakened Blood Demon Art: Hollow Cry, Divine Departure because she had accepted the blood curse while severely injured.

Moreover, because she had been badly wounded, she received even more blood than Konan and Yahiko.

How should he put it?

Blood Demon Art: Hollow Cry, Divine Departure was undoubtedly very powerful.

If developed properly, it felt no weaker than Shikotsumyaku.

In the future, Pakura would be able to handle both offense and defense.

At long range, she had Scorch Release. In close combat, she had Blood Demon Art: Hollow Cry, Divine Departure.

In terms of strength, she would surpass Rasa and Reki.

"We should leave this place first."

Natsuki ended the Mystical Palm Technique treatment and said, "Rasa and Reki may appear at any time. Let's go somewhere safe."

After saying that, he stood up and opened a spatial door.

Pakura's pupils shrank when she saw it.

Natsuki actually knew space-time ninjutsu?

If Sunagakure and Konoha went to war again, it was easy to imagine that he would definitely become Sunagakure's greatest headache.

But that had nothing to do with her anymore.

Pakura stood up and walked into the spatial door.

When she appeared again, she was already inside Natsuki's room in the Land of Rain metropolis.

"Do you carry spare clothes with you?"

Natsuki looked at her and asked.

Pakura suddenly reacted.

She instinctively looked down at her torn and soaked clothes, then quickly crossed her arms over her chest.

But that movement only made the outline of her figure more apparent.

Clearly, her beautiful back was not her only notable feature.

"I've already seen what there was to see. What's the point of covering up now?"

Natsuki chuckled and asked.

Pakura was immediately speechless.

"Besides, it wasn't as if I was looking on purpose. I was saving you."

Natsuki emphasized this with complete righteousness.

"I have clothes."

Pakura turned her head away and said, "You go out first."

"I'll wait outside."

Natsuki left the room and went to the courtyard.

Yahiko and the other three were not there.

They had taken a group of Akatsuki's elite shinobi to Hōzuki Castle.

Hōzuki Castle was Mui's responsibility.

It was also difficult for Kusagakure to interfere there.

Yahiko and the others going there would not be discovered by outsiders.

Natsuki did not wait long before Pakura appeared again.

She had changed into another backless outfit, but because her severe injuries had not fully healed, her face was slightly pale.

However, she had already been transformed into a demon. It would not take long for her to recover.

"Did you plan to turn me into a demon from the very beginning?"

Pakura looked at Natsuki, fell silent for a moment, then asked.

"More or less."

Natsuki said casually.

Although he did not have the Kibutsuji Muzan Template at the time, he had indeed had a similar idea.

"You really are terrifying."

Pakura was dazed for a moment, then said, "It is not unjust that I ended up like this."

In her view, using the rainwater business to trap her felt like a waste.

But looking at it another way, he had been willing to damage a rainwater business worth tens of millions just to set a trap for her. That was especially decisive and ruthless.

"The fact that I could turn you into a demon so easily is thanks to Rasa and Reki."

Natsuki corrected her.

Pakura fell silent when she heard this.

Rasa and Reki's actions had indeed left her completely disheartened.

"What do you want me to do?"

Pakura composed herself and asked.

"Become the next Kazekage."

Natsuki answered.

"So that's it."

Pakura's tone showed understanding as she said, "Your target was ultimately Sunagakure."

"My ultimate target is not limited to Sunagakure."

Natsuki said with a smile.

Pakura subconsciously bit her lip.

Natsuki already had a very high chance of becoming Konoha's Hokage. If he added Sunagakure to that, then one person would hold power over two shinobi villages.

No, more accurately, he would definitely become Konoha's Hokage.

Pakura had now seen Natsuki's methods.

With his strength added on top of that, she could not imagine anyone in Konoha of his generation being his match.

"I agree."

Pakura exhaled and said, "Since Sunagakure has abandoned me, I am no longer a shinobi of Sunagakure."

"That is the mindset a strong person should have. You should not be limited by one shinobi village."

Natsuki nodded and said.

"A strong person under your control?"

Pakura asked in return.

"There are not many strong people who are qualified to be controlled by me."

Natsuki said without changing his expression.

Pakura realized that his skin was just as thick as his methods were deep.

But she had to admit, only someone like this could win in a struggle for power.

"I need to return to Sunagakure as soon as possible."

Pakura regained her usual calm and said, "If I delay too long, Rasa and Reki will seize my position as chief supervisor."

"I'll send you back."

Natsuki raised his hand and opened a spatial door.

The two of them walked inside.

When Pakura stepped out and found that she had arrived at her home, her heart shook.

Space-time ninjutsu truly was terrifying.

The threat posed by Natsuki, someone who could appear in Sunagakure at any time, went without saying.

But again, she no longer belonged to Sunagakure. She belonged to Natsuki.

"What do you plan to do? Expose them?"

Natsuki casually sat down on the sofa.

"There is no way to expose them. They did not reveal their true faces when they ambushed me."

Pakura walked forward, crouched in front of the tea table, and poured Natsuki a glass of water.

"Thank you."

Natsuki took the glass and drank a sip.

"And they have the support of the Third Kazekage and the two elders behind them. Without solid evidence, I cannot affect them."

Pakura stood up, looked at him, and said, "But since I came back alive, I will not let them have an easy time."

"As you said, they have support behind them."

Natsuki's gaze fell forward, and he could see her legs. "You do not need to be too aggressive. Just maintain the current situation."

"Didn't you tell me to become Kazekage?"

Pakura asked in return. "If I maintain the current situation, Rasa will most likely become Kazekage."

Natsuki put down the glass and said, "You have me behind you. Maintaining the current situation is only temporary."

"What are you going to do?"

Pakura asked curiously.

"Now is not the time."

Natsuki smiled faintly and said, "Just make sure you stay safe."

"That will not be difficult."

Pakura paused, then said, "After receiving your blood, I can clearly feel that I have become much stronger."

"You have become a demon now, and you can also use Blood Demon Art."

Natsuki reminded her, "Your Blood Demon Art is related to your body."

Pakura seemed thoughtful.

At the same time, she became even more curious. Why did Natsuki's blood have such an effect?

This effect did not feel like something human blood could possess.

"I'll leave first. Rest well."

Natsuki stood up and said.

Pakura thought for a moment, then asked, "How should I contact you?"

"Contact the daimyo of the Land of Rain."

Natsuki answered.

Pakura paused slightly, surprised, but also felt there was no need to be surprised.

With Natsuki's methods, it was normal for him to control the daimyo of the Land of Rain.

Natsuki opened a spatial door and left the room.

Pakura looked at where he had disappeared and could not help falling into thought.

A moment later, she sat down heavily on the sofa.

She lowered her head and glanced at her graceful figure.

Natsuki's gaze had not been hidden, so she had thought she might not escape that kind of fate.

But unexpectedly, he had only been admiring her.

Or perhaps he was simply not in a hurry.

Pakura had never thought about matters between men and women before, so for a moment, her thoughts became somewhat unsettled.

After a long while, she regained her calm.

At this point, what she thought no longer mattered, because she no longer had control over herself.

Pakura stood up and walked into the bathroom.

After bathing, she went to the Kazekage's office.

"Pakura?"

When the Third Kazekage saw her, he could not help feeling somewhat surprised. "I heard you were severely injured."

"It was only a rumor."

Pakura smiled and said, "I only suffered some minor injuries. They will not affect my work."

"That is good."

A hint of confusion flashed through the Third Kazekage's eyes.

To be honest, he had already guessed who had made the move.

The Anbu had also reported the situation at the scene. The large pool of blood undoubtedly proved that Pakura had been severely injured.

But Pakura standing before him truly did not seem to have any major problem.

Aside from her complexion being a little poor.

"I will take my leave now, Kazekage-sama."

Pakura bowed slightly and turned to leave.

"Go call Rasa and Reki here."

The Third Kazekage said expressionlessly.

Before long, the Anbu brought Rasa and Reki over.

"Stop searching. Pakura has already returned, and she only suffered minor injuries."

The Third Kazekage spoke.

"That's impossible!"

Rasa said instinctively.

Reki also showed a doubtful expression.

"Do you think I would lie to you?"

The Third Kazekage's face darkened as he said, "I am very disappointed in you. You could not even handle something like this cleanly!"

Rasa and Reki immediately felt that something was wrong.

They did not dare say anything more and could only lower their heads to accept the reprimand.

At the same time, after Natsuki returned to the Senju clan compound, he stretched.

With Pakura under his control, his plan for Sunagakure was halfway complete.

Time passed to the following Sunday.

Class A of the Ninja Academy's first year had just finished the final exam for the first semester.

But one matter had become more popular than the final exam.

"Kakashi, did you really pass the graduation exam?"

Asuma Sarutobi asked with a shocked expression.

Kakashi Hatake nodded.

"Graduating before even finishing one semester is simply unimaginable."

Shizune could not help sighing in admiration.

"If it's Kakashi, it's understandable."

Rin praised him and said, "He has talent, and he works harder than all of us."

"Graduating at five years old? That is obviously overreaching."

Obito curled his lips and said, "No matter how much of a genius he is, can he be more talented than Natsuki-sama? Natsuki-sama graduated at ten years old."

"Everyone's circumstances are different."

Rin said gently.

Obito became even more annoyed when he heard this.

Damn Kakashi!

Why does he love showing off so much?

But when he thought about it again, Kakashi graduating early was not a bad thing. In the future, Rin would only pay attention to him.

Thinking of that, Obito could not help smiling.

"Natsuki-sama is the goal I am chasing."

When Kakashi heard Natsuki's name, he said, "I chose to graduate early so I can become stronger faster."

Life at the Ninja Academy was too easy.

On top of that, ever since enrolling, he had always been first place. He felt there was no challenge, so he wanted to graduate earlier.

As for Natsuki, that was related to Sakumo.

In Kakashi's heart, Sakumo had always been the person he looked up to, especially in swordsmanship.

Until one day, Sakumo said that he was inferior to Natsuki in swordsmanship. Only then did Kakashi begin paying attention to Natsuki.

Once he paid attention, he was truly stunned.

Natsuki's record was far too brilliant.

Although he only graduated at ten years old, immediately after graduating, he defeated powerful shinobi such as Rasa, Pakura, and Hanzō, surpassing the vast majority of shinobi.

"As expected of my lifelong rival! You dare to chase after Natsuki-sama!"

Might Guy gave him a thumbs-up and said, "I can feel my youth burning. Today, I will add three hundred laps to my training!"

The corner of Kakashi's mouth twitched.

Who is your lifelong rival?

For some reason, after school started, Might Guy had latched onto him and challenged him every day to so-called battles of youth.

At first, Kakashi had still been interested and fought him a few times, but over time, he could no longer stand Guy's persistence.

"Kakashi."

Ishida Yū stood at the door and called out.

"I'll go first. See you next time."

Kakashi greeted Asuma and the others, then stood up and left.

"Kakashi, Hokage-sama has already arranged a shinobi team for you."

Ishida Yū smiled as he spoke.

"Who is my team instructor?"

Kakashi asked curiously.

The strength of the team instructor determined the upper limit of a shinobi team.

Especially for a genius like him, he needed a powerful team instructor.

"You will see them when you come to my office."

Ishida Yū said mysteriously, "You definitely will not be disappointed."

Kakashi immediately became interested.

He nodded and went with Ishida Yū to his office.

After the door opened, Kakashi could not help showing a shocked expression.

Because he saw Natsuki and Minato.

What was going on?

Could one of them be his team instructor?

"Kakashi."

Minato smiled brightly and said, "You will join my team and Natsuki's team as a temporary member."

"Two teams?"

Kakashi was momentarily unable to process it.

"That is how it works."

Minato explained the reason.

Simply put, there was no suitable team of children his age, so for the time being, he would follow him and Natsuki.

Kakashi was surprised, but also pleasantly surprised.

After all, Natsuki and Minato were both famous jonin.

Especially Natsuki.

Many people said he already had strength comparable to the Five Kage.

Kakashi agreed with this.

After all, Natsuki had defeated his father, Sakumo.

"Let's return to the Senju clan compound."

Minato reached out and used the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Kakashi felt his vision blur, and he arrived in a new place.

He could not help freezing.

Was this space-time ninjutsu?

But why had he never heard that Minato knew space-time ninjutsu?

Had he been hiding his strength?

"Kakashi."

Nawaki leaned closer, casually patted his shoulder, and said, "I'm Nawaki. If anything happens in the future, you can come to me."

"Nawaki-senpai."

Kakashi paused slightly, then greeted him.

He also knew Nawaki.

Not only was he skilled in swordsmanship, but he had also inherited Tobirama Senju's Water Release.

"Kakashi has just joined our team. To help everyone understand each other better, I think you two can have a spar."

Natsuki suggested.

"That works."

Nawaki smiled and said, "I am very interested in seeing the strength of a new-generation genius."

The two of them walked into the training area.

Kakashi took a deep breath and gripped the White Fang Blade.

His White Fang Blade was a replica.

The real White Fang Blade was still being used by Sakumo.

Nawaki took out an ordinary ninja sword.

Using the Great Sword: Jōhada against the five-year-old Kakashi would be too much bullying.

Kakashi accelerated and rushed toward Nawaki.

The sound of blades clashing rang out continuously.

Nawaki only defended and did not attack, but each time, he blocked Kakashi's attacks with ease.

Kakashi, however, grew more anxious the longer the fight went on, and sweat gradually appeared on his forehead.

"Impressive."

Minato praised.

Naturally, he was talking about Kakashi.

"Natsuki, when you were five, was your swordsmanship this good?"

Kushina nudged Natsuki with her elbow and asked curiously.

"No."

Natsuki shook his head and said, "I only started learning swordsmanship when I was six."

"So that means his talent is even higher than yours?"

Kushina blinked.

"Learning earlier does not mean his talent is higher."

Hearing this, Minato said, "Although Kakashi is very talented, he definitely cannot compare to Natsuki."

Kushina nodded.

She also did not think anyone's talent could surpass Natsuki's.

Aside from Natsuki, she had never heard of anyone possessing Kage-level strength before reaching adulthood.

The battle ended.

Kakashi's stamina reached its limit, and he sat directly on the ground, breathing heavily.

"No wonder you could graduate at five."

Nawaki put away his ninja sword and said, "Your future achievements definitely will not lose to your father's."

"From now on, Kakashi will train with us."

Natsuki spoke. "He is still young, so he will learn swordsmanship and the Konoha Six Powers first. Once he is a little older, he can learn Lightning Release."

"His chakra nature is Lightning?"

Minato asked instinctively.

If it was Lightning Release, then he would not be very suitable for teaching Kakashi.

He specialized in Wind Release, as well as Rasengan and the Flying Thunder God Technique.

At most, he could also add the Konoha Six Powers taught by Natsuki.

"He has all five chakra natures."

Natsuki answered.

In reality, it was seven, but chakra paper could only test five.

"What?"

Minato, Nawaki, and Kushina all showed surprised expressions.

In their impression, only three shinobi possessed all five chakra natures, Hiruzen, Orochimaru, and Natsuki.

Kakashi was also very surprised.

Why did Natsuki know his chakra natures?

Had his father, Sakumo, told him?

"Is there really going to be another Natsuki?"

Nawaki scratched his head and asked.

"How could it be that easy?"

Kushina snorted softly and said.

"Natsuki, then why do you want him to learn Lightning Release first?"

Minato asked curiously.

"Lightning Release can strengthen swordsmanship, so he should learn Lightning Release first."

Natsuki casually made up a reason.

(To be continued.)
