Naruto: Multiverse Character Templates

Chapter 175: Hancock



"What touching sisterly affection."

Natsuki could not help laughing when he saw this scene.

However, he felt no guilt about turning the three great snake priestesses into demons.

After all, they had done more than enough evil.

"Tagitsuhime."

Natsuki said casually, "You only have two choices now. Either die, or submit."

"Were you not very interested in Master earlier?"

Ichikishimahime placed her hands on her hips and said, "Now that you have been transformed into a demon, you should feel honored."

The corner of Tagitsuhime's mouth twitched.

Earlier, she had only regarded Natsuki as excellent prey. It was not as if she truly liked him.

And you adapted to your new position far too quickly. You have completely become his lackey.

Tagitsuhime sighed inwardly.

In the end, she walked up to Natsuki, bowed, and said, "Master."

Natsuki nodded, then opened her panel.

[Name: Tagitsuhime.]

[Race: Snake, Demon.]

[Ability One: Partial Demon Transformation, locked.]

[Effect: Become half-human and half-demon, increasing attack power, speed, and regeneration.]

[Unlock condition: Comprehend it on your own.]

[Ability Two: Full Demon Transformation, locked.]

[Effect: Completely transforms into a demon, further increasing attack power, speed, and regeneration, but also increasing consumption.]

[Unlock condition: Comprehend it on your own.]

[Ability Three: Blood Demon Art: Sash, locked.]

[Effect: Allows control over the white sash on the body.]

[Note: After Blood Demon Art: Sash is unlocked, you will also obtain this Blood Demon Art.]

Natsuki let out a soft sound of surprise.

Because Tagitsuhime and Ichikishimahime had awakened the same Blood Demon Art.

Perhaps it was because they were both snakes and both wore white sashes.

Natsuki guessed that Tagorihime would probably awaken Blood Demon Art: Sash as well.

However, those were secondary issues.

Even without Blood Demon Arts, the three great snake priestesses were already powerful enough.

"Master."

Ichikishimahime ran up to him and asked, "Should I bring Tagorihime here tomorrow as well?"

When Tagitsuhime heard this, she almost wanted to scold her.

But when the words reached her mouth, they turned into something else.

"With Ichikishimahime and me working together, Tagorihime definitely will not escape."

Tagitsuhime said with a smile, "Master, you can rest assured."

Ichikishimahime turned and glared at her, almost as if saying she had no shame.

Tagitsuhime was completely unafraid and smiled back at her.

She was a snake. She did not need to care about dignity. Surviving was enough.

"Bring Tagorihime here tomorrow."

Natsuki laughed helplessly.

However, Ichikishimahime and Tagitsuhime acting like this suited him quite well.

Two snake priestesses who feared him and could not betray him were undoubtedly excellent subordinates.

After Natsuki finished speaking, he began training Sage Mode.

Tagitsuhime did not dare leave and stood to the side watching.

She soon revealed an incredulous expression.

Because she discovered that Natsuki had already reached the final step of Sage Mode training, which was creating senjutsu chakra.

How was that possible?

Starting to attempt the creation of senjutsu chakra after only two days was something she had never seen before, or even heard of.

One had to know that she had lived for nearly a thousand years and knew quite a bit about the contractors of the three great summoning sage regions.

Tagitsuhime looked at Ichikishimahime.

Ichikishimahime shook her head.

She did not understand either.

The only explanation was that Natsuki's talent for learning Sage Mode was terrifyingly high.

He was the most talented person in nearly a thousand years.

Thinking of it that way, being controlled by him did not feel quite as unbearable.

The next day.

Natsuki was summoned to Ryūchi Cave once again.

This time, Tagitsuhime and Ichikishimahime had kept their promise and brought Tagorihime with them.

"They said your Sage Mode training has already reached the third step?"

Tagorihime looked at Natsuki and asked.

Only then did Natsuki understand what excuse Tagitsuhime and Ichikishimahime had used to bring her here.

"Begin training now."

Suspicion appeared in Tagorihime's heart, but she still could not believe it and wanted to see Natsuki train with her own eyes.

Tagitsuhime and Ichikishimahime exchanged glances and acted at the same time, each grabbing one of her arms.

"What are you doing?"

Tagorihime froze and instinctively asked.

Natsuki suddenly thought of something from his previous life.

A truly close friend was the kind who still thought the other person was joking until the very last moment.

Natsuki raised his hand, and a drop of blood flew out.

Tagorihime was restrained by Tagitsuhime and Ichikishimahime and could not move. She could only watch as the blood landed on her forehead.

A moment later, a large amount of information surfaced in her mind. Only then did she understand why they had acted against her.

"We had no choice."

Tagitsuhime released her and said.

"There is nothing bad about this."

Ichikishimahime smiled and said, "We just need to treat Master the same way we treat the White Snake Sage."

Tagorihime looked at them. Her gaze did not change at all. It was even somewhat lifeless.

She walked forward and said coldly, "Master."

Unlike Tagitsuhime and Ichikishimahime's noisy reactions, she calmly accepted her fate.

This showed the difference in personality among the three great snake priestesses.

Natsuki then opened her panel.

[Name: Tagorihime.]

[Race: Snake, Demon.]

[Ability One: Partial Demon Transformation, locked.]

[Effect: Become half-human and half-demon, increasing attack power, speed, and regeneration.]

[Unlock condition: Comprehend it on your own.]

[Ability Two: Full Demon Transformation, locked.]

[Effect: Completely transforms into a demon, further increasing attack power, speed, and regeneration, but also increasing consumption.]

[Unlock condition: Comprehend it on your own.]

[Ability Three: Blood Demon Art: Sash, locked.]

[Effect: Allows control over the white sash on the body.]

[Note: After Blood Demon Art: Sash is unlocked, you will also obtain this Blood Demon Art.]

Natsuki thought to himself that it was just as expected.

The three great snake priestesses all had the same Blood Demon Art.

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking Ability Four of the Kibutsuji Muzan Template: Progenitor of Demons.]

With the three great snake priestesses transformed into demons, the Twelve Kizuki had finally been completed.

All of them possessed the potential and qualifications to become jonin, and more than half of them were already jonin.

Natsuki stood in place, digesting the information brought by Progenitor of Demons.

Progenitor of Demons was essentially Full Demon Transformation.

After using it, Natsuki would completely become like Kibutsuji Muzan, possessing traits that made him extremely difficult to kill.

But in terms of how much his strength increased, it was not actually that great.

Its main value was that it brought him theoretical immortality and eternal youth.

From this perspective, it was still very good.

Of course, the most useful ability of the Kibutsuji Muzan Template was still the blood curse, which had allowed him to successfully establish the Twelve Kizuki.

[You have awakened the Boa Hancock Template.]

Just as Natsuki was about to continue training Sage Mode, new text appeared before his eyes.

He could not help showing a pleasantly surprised expression.

Boa Hancock was undoubtedly the Pirate Empress from One Piece.

She was the current empress of the Amazon Lily Kingdom and the current captain of the Kuja Pirates.

Because of her peerless beauty, she was also known as the world's most beautiful woman. She had once been one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea before the system was abolished.

Natsuki thought about it and roughly understood why the Hancock Template had awakened.

Her character prototype was Medusa, one of the three Gorgon sisters from legend.

She also had two younger sisters, and all three sisters had many snake-related traits or items.

In addition, they had once been slaves of the Celestial Dragons.

The three great snake priestesses were also three snakes.

In a certain sense, they were now Natsuki's subordinates.

Thinking of this, Natsuki looked at the newly awakened template.

[Name: Boa Hancock.]

[Period: Seven Warlords of the Sea.]

[World: One Piece.]

[Rank: S.]

[Ability One: Observation Haki, unlocked.]

[Effect: A power that allows the user to strongly sense surrounding presences. It can detect enemies outside the user's field of vision and further predict an opponent's movements.]

[Ability Two: Love-Love Fruit, locked.]

[Effect: Can petrify those who are infatuated with the user. It can also directly use its power to petrify opponents and objects.]

[Unlock condition: Establish the Kuja Pirates and make their name known.]

[Ability Three: Conqueror's Haki, locked.]

[Effect: The qualification of a king who stands above countless people. The user can intimidate, pressure, and knock out enemies through their own spirit.]

[Unlock condition: Liberate the slaves of the Land of Water.]

Natsuki's first reaction after reading it was that there were very few abilities.

Previous S-rank character templates had usually had five or more abilities.

But the Hancock Template only had three.

Ability One, Observation Haki.

In the shinobi world, it was undoubtedly an S-rank sensory ninjutsu.

More accurately, it was an enhanced version of the Sharingan without hypnosis or copying abilities.

Because it could not only sense nearby targets, but could also be used in battle to predict the enemy's next move.

Natsuki currently used two sensory abilities most often.

The first was Clairvoyance.

Its range was very wide, reaching four kilometers.

The only problem was that it could not see through objects. If something blocked the view, he could not see through it.

The other was electromagnetic sensing.

It could see through obstacles, but the problem was that its range was only three kilometers.

And it could not be used in battle either.

Observation Haki just happened to make up for Natsuki's shortcomings in sensory ability.

Most importantly, in theory, Observation Haki had no fixed range.

Its range depended on the strength of the user.

Ability Two, Love-Love Fruit.

This was the Devil Fruit Hancock had eaten, and it belonged to the Paramecia class.

Its effect could be summarized in one word, petrification.

Of course, it had many uses.

Natsuki originally thought it would be like the Smoker Template, separately listing the abilities of the Smoke-Smoke Fruit, but it did not.

This meant that either he would automatically comprehend the corresponding abilities after unlocking the Love-Love Fruit, or he would need to develop them himself.

But either way, it was about the same.

Developing them himself would simply take a little more time.

However, Hancock had displayed many different uses in One Piece, so he could copy them directly.

Natsuki believed the most useful ability among them was Slave Arrow.

He could combine it with the Emiya Shirou Template and the Kikyō Template.

When the time came, he could shoot countless arrows that could not only explode, but also petrify. Just thinking about it was terrifying.

Its unlock condition was establishing the Kuja Pirates.

The Kuja Pirates were Hancock's pirate crew.

Natsuki rubbed his chin.

Pirates naturally had to live on the sea.

The only place where he could establish the Kuja Pirates was the Land of Water.

If it were only establishing the Kuja Pirates, it would not be difficult, because he could draw some shinobi from Akatsuki.

But the condition also required them to make a name for themselves, which meant they would most likely have to clash with the Land of Water and Kirigakure.

That required the members of the Kuja Pirates to possess a certain level of strength.

Otherwise, they would be destroyed by the Land of Water and Kirigakure.

Ability Three, Conqueror's Haki.

Natsuki had already unlocked Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

With Conqueror's Haki added, he would have gathered all three types of Haki.

In terms of effect, Conqueror's Haki was somewhat mysterious.

It was not as clearly defined as Armament Haki or Observation Haki.

But it was the hardest to awaken, and only top-tier powerhouses could awaken it.

After awakening, its effects were also very powerful.

It was not just for clearing out small fry.

In One Piece, Red-Haired Shanks and Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, once clashed using Conqueror's Haki.

The power was so great that it split the sky.

Its unlock condition was liberating the slaves of the Land of Water.

Compared to establishing the Kuja Pirates and making their name known, this was even more troublesome.

Although the Five Great Shinobi Villages already lived in a way similar to the modern era, the Five Great Nations were still feudal states.

Slaves were the property of daimyo and nobles.

Liberating the slaves of the Land of Water undoubtedly meant fighting the daimyo and nobles of the Land of Water to the end.

In other words, it meant fighting Kirigakure to the end, and it might even make the other nations wary.

This Hancock Template seemed specifically aimed at the Land of Water and Kirigakure.

But there was no helping it.

Because the only nation that matched One Piece was the Land of Water.

"Can the three of you usually leave Ryūchi Cave?"

Natsuki looked at Tagorihime and the others as he asked.

"Yes."

Tagorihime answered.

"If not for Master's arrival, the three of us would spend our days sleeping and training at home."

Ichikishimahime immediately said with a smile.

Natsuki understood as soon as he heard it.

It was not just Ryūchi Cave. The three great summoning sage regions were probably all the same.

Aside from interacting with contractors, they had almost nothing else to do most of the time and were extremely idle.

After all, they did not need to go out on missions like shinobi.

As for why they had contractors, Natsuki suspected it was related to the Great Toad Sage.

A thousand years ago, it had personally gone out and found the first contractor, the Sage of Six Paths.

It was precisely because the Sage of Six Paths learned Sage Mode that he was able to defeat his mother, Ōtsutsuki Kaguya.

Since then, the three great summoning sage regions had formed the practice of seeking contractors.

Thinking of it this way, perhaps they were searching for the reincarnations of Ashura and Indra's chakra.

In the original story, they had indeed found Hashirama Senju, Uchiha Sasuke, and Uzumaki Naruto.

This was not Natsuki simply imagining conspiracies.

The main reason was that the Great Toad Sage had played an extremely crucial role in the original story.

Whether it was helping the Sage of Six Paths a thousand years ago or identifying Uzumaki Naruto as the Child of Prophecy a thousand years later, it had a huge impact on the shinobi world.

"That is good."

Natsuki stated his goal. "After I learn Sage Mode, I will summon you to the shinobi world to help me with certain tasks."

"No problem, Master!"

Ichikishimahime said brightly, "I have wanted to visit the shinobi world for a long time!"

"Whatever Master tells us to do, we will do."

Tagitsuhime said eagerly.

Only Tagorihime remained cold and silent, as if she had not heard what they said.

The corner of Natsuki's mouth twitched.

Could this trigger some snake-related character template?

But such a template probably would not be useful.

Natsuki shook his head and continued training Sage Mode.

Because he had already learned Sage Mode before, his progress was very fast.

He felt that in less than a month, he would be able to complete it.

He just did not know what difference there was between the Sage Modes of Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi Cave.

Judging from the original story, there did not seem to be a particularly large difference.

The only difference lay in their senjutsu.

Mount Myōboku and Ryūchi Cave each had their own unique senjutsu.

The setting sun sank in the west.

Natsuki returned to Konoha's Senju clan compound.

"How did your training in Ryūchi Cave go today?"

As soon as Nawaki saw him, he immediately asked.

"I will take you to Ryūchi Cave tomorrow."

Natsuki knew what he was really after and answered directly.

"Really?"

Nawaki was somewhat surprised.

"Of course."

Natsuki casually made something up. "I spent these two days building a relationship with the three great snake priestesses. Even if you do not pass the trial, you will not fail completely."

"You really do have a way!"

Nawaki immediately gave him a thumbs-up.

"If you fail, I will accompany you to find a summoning beast suitable for you."

Natsuki paused and said, "We can also beat Manda until it agrees to fight for us."

"That works."

Nawaki smiled.

The night quickly passed.

The next morning, after breakfast, Natsuki had Ichikishimahime summon him and Nawaki to Ryūchi Cave.

"These are the three great snake priestesses, high-ranking figures in Ryūchi Cave."

Natsuki introduced them to Nawaki and said, "You only need to pass their trial to learn Sage Mode."

"Come on!"

Nawaki immediately said.

"The first stage comes first."

Tagorihime led him to a nearby room.

Natsuki stood outside and waited.

"Master."

Ichikishimahime glanced at Natsuki and asked, "Should we let him pass?"

"No need."

Natsuki shook his head.

Forcing someone without talent to learn Sage Mode would only harm Nawaki.

Not long after, Nawaki walked out.

There was a smile on his face. Without asking, it was clear he had passed.

"Follow me for the second stage."

Ichikishimahime led him through another door.

After a long while, Nawaki walked out with a pale face.

"Although it took quite a bit of time, he passed. He has more chakra than most jonin."

Ichikishimahime walked up to Natsuki and said.

"Give him the snake venom."

Natsuki looked at Tagitsuhime and said.

Tagitsuhime understood and directly took out a bottle of snake venom.

Nawaki took the snake venom and drank it.

He immediately froze in place.

"He failed. He did not pass this stage."

After a long while, Tagitsuhime spoke.

As soon as her words fell, Nawaki collapsed.

The snake venom had spread throughout his entire body.

Natsuki was not surprised when he saw this.

There were ultimately too few shinobi who could learn Sage Mode.

Natsuki walked forward and neutralized the poison for him.

"What a pity."

Nawaki shook his head and said.

"Although you did not pass, you can still try sensing natural energy."

Natsuki then taught him the method.

Nawaki tried again, but he still could not sense natural energy.

He was not too disappointed, because he had already been mentally prepared.

After that, Natsuki accompanied him in beating Manda and the other great snakes, letting him vent a little.
