Naruto: Multiverse Character Templates

When Natsuki arrived at Konoha's stronghold, he discovered that this place no longer needed support.

After all, the Konoha ninja who were supposed to be defending the stronghold had already charged out.

The reason for this was the father and son pair, Might Guy and Might Duy.

Before Natsuki went to Amegakure's main camp, he had arranged for his three students to act together with Duy.

The four of them had been assigned to this stronghold to defend against the attacking Iwa ninja.

Guy and Duy were both extremely easy to fire up.

During the battle, the father and son both opened the Eight Gates and rushed out.

Because they were powerful, their attack was extremely effective.

When the other Konoha ninja saw Iwa's defense being torn open, they followed after them one after another.

As a result, what was supposed to be a defensive battle turned into an active assault.

Natsuki watched for a moment, then gave the order. The ninja he had brought immediately joined the battlefield.

Before long, the Iwa ninja were either dead or surrendered, and the battle came to an end.

"Natsuki-sensei!"

After the battle ended, Guy, Kurenai, and Shizune ran up to him.

"You did very well, especially you, Guy."

Natsuki said with a smile.

"It was all thanks to my dad!"

Guy raised a thumb and said.

"Both of you contributed."

Natsuki nodded and said, "After the war ends, the village will reward everyone according to their merits."

"Natsuki-sensei."

Kurenai suddenly thought of something and asked curiously, "Why did you come to reinforce us?"

The main reason was that when the defense of the strongholds was arranged yesterday, there had been no mention of reinforcements.

"It is like this."

Natsuki briefly explained what had happened that night.

The three of them listened in stunned silence.

None of them had expected that the war they had been fighting for a month would come to an end overnight.

It was so fast that they felt dazed.

"You should rest for a while. I will go check the situation at the other two strongholds."

After saying this to them, Natsuki leaped up and rose into the air.

He used the Door-Door Fruit and quickly arrived at the Konoha stronghold that Mikoto had gone to reinforce.

Unlike the previous stronghold, this one had not gained the upper hand.

But with Mikoto and the others arriving, they quickly seized a huge advantage. Victory was only a matter of time.

Seeing this, Natsuki went to the final Konoha stronghold.

The situation there was also similar.

Natsuki thought about it and did not make a move.

After all, he could not steal their merits.

He returned to Konoha's main camp.

Time slowly passed.

By noon the next day, the war had finally ended completely.

All the Konoha ninja returned to the main camp.

Aside from them, there were also the Iwa ninja who had surrendered.

Inside the command tent of the main camp.

Natsuki looked at the jonin excitedly carrying out the postwar count and could not help smiling.

No matter who it was, this was an unprecedented great victory.

Since Konoha's founding, there had been few victories like this.

The main reason was that they had ended this war while suffering very few losses.

Iwa's two thousand ninja were either killed or captured. Not a single one escaped.

Another half an hour passed.

After finishing the postwar count, Mikoto walked forward and handed Natsuki a scroll.

Natsuki opened the scroll and read it.

First was the total gain, including the captured Iwa ninja and various supplies.

Second was the exact number of captured Iwa ninja and the list of jonin.

Last were Konoha's losses in this war.

Natsuki glanced at the second part, which interested him.

This time, the number of captured Iwa ninja exceeded four hundred.

Unfortunately, there were no jonin he found familiar.

The two Iwa jonin he knew, Gari and Mahiru, had both died in the chaotic battle.

"Give one-third of the captured supplies to Amegakure."

After Natsuki finished reading, he casually handed the scroll to Nara Suzaku.

Whenever ninja of the Nara clan appeared in war, they usually served as advisers or something similar to stewards.

Mikoto could also do these things.

But she was already very tired every night, so anything else that could be spared should be spared to conserve her stamina.

"Yes, Natsuki-sama."

Suzaku immediately responded.

Amegakure and Konoha had fought the enemy together, so they naturally deserved a share of the supplies.

Although he felt one-third of the supplies was a little much, since Natsuki had said so, no one would dare object.

The greatest contributor to this victory over Iwa was naturally Natsuki.

Whether it was his almost supernatural intelligence-gathering ability or his powerful and terrifying strength, both had made Iwa suffer greatly.

Suzaku felt that over this past month, his intelligence had barely had any chance to be used.

This war gave him the feeling that wherever Natsuki pointed, they simply attacked. There was no need for extra thinking.

"Zō, has the intelligence been sent back to Konoha?"

Natsuki thought for a moment and asked.

"The intelligence was sent to Konoha last night."

Zō immediately said, "Barring any accident, Hokage-sama should already know of our victory by now."

"Next, there are two things. First, pay attention to Iwa's following movements."

Natsuki looked at everyone and said, "Second, send the wounded and the captured Iwa ninja back to Konoha."

After thinking for a moment, he handed the second matter to Might Duy.

He had Duy bring Guy, Kurenai, and Shizune along as well.

Someone had to be responsible anyway, so he might as well let them return home and rest for two days.

Especially since his three students were still young.

As for himself, he returned to Konoha every day anyway, so he did not lack those two days.

At the same time, in Konoha, inside the Hokage's office.

Aside from Orochimaru, a group of higher-ups including Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane, Tsunade, and Nawaki had all been called over.

"I knew Natsuki would definitely beat Iwa down hard!"

After reading the intelligence, Nawaki said excitedly.

"To make Iwa suffer such heavy losses overnight, it is simply unbelievable."

Homura could not help sighing.

In his heart, he also secretly felt fortunate that he had not stood on Shimurā Danzo's side before.

Otherwise, if he had offended Natsuki, it would be difficult for him to move an inch in Konoha.

This was not an exaggeration.

The current Natsuki truly could threaten them.

If they fell out completely, even their positions as Hokage Advisors might not be secure.

"Natsuki's strength is becoming harder and harder to understand."

Tsunade shook her head and said.

First, he had annihilated Iwa's Explosion Corps, and then he had broken through Iwa's main camp by himself.

No matter which matter it was, neither sounded like something a single ninja could do.

Tsunade thought of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara.

Both of them had been ninja whose individual strength was so overwhelming that they could influence an entire battlefield alone.

"After suffering such heavy damage, Iwa will not continue with small skirmishes."

Orochimaru spoke.

"Then should I lead people to support Natsuki?"

Nawaki asked with an expectant expression.

After seeing Natsuki dominate the battlefield, he had long since become unable to hold himself back.

"Wait a little longer."

Orochimaru thought for a moment and said.

He needed to see how many ninja Iwa would send next before making a decision.

But Iwa definitely would not send everyone.

After all, it still had to guard against the other three villages.

"I will go when the time comes as well."

Tsunade suddenly said.

"Huh? Why?"

Nawaki's expression stiffened, and he subconsciously asked.

"What is wrong with me going to the battlefield as a medical ninja?"

Tsunade glared at him and asked in return.

Nawaki hesitated to speak.

He knew Tsunade was worried about him.

But with her going along, he felt somewhat uncomfortable inside.

However, things had already reached this point, and he had no way to stop her.

"If you siblings go together, it will be just right. It will let the shinobi world know that Wood Release has appeared once more."

Orochimaru smiled faintly and said.

Two hours later, inside the Tsuchikage's office in Iwa.

Ōnoki looked at the intelligence in front of him and could not help trembling in broad daylight.

Terrible. Truly terrible.

Two thousand ninja had been completely wiped out.

Although four hundred were still alive, that was no different from being dead.

"Father, please take care of your body."

Seeing this, Kitsuchi immediately advised him.

"With such a terrible defeat, I have no way to explain this to the Daimyō or to Iwa."

Ōnoki sat back down and sighed.

"Judging from the intelligence, there was no major mistake in Gari's decisions."

Kitsuchi slowly said, "The biggest problem is that Konoha knew all of our movements in advance."

"Is there a traitor among us?"

After a moment of silence, Ōnoki asked.

"It does not seem like it."

Kitsuchi shook his head and said, "If there truly was a traitor, they would have to be someone with high authority, but Gari and Mahiru have already died."

He had read the battle report.

Although four hundred ninja had been captured, they were all unimportant ninja.

The ninja who could be considered core members of this operation had all died in this war.

"I suspect Konoha's intelligence capability has somehow been strengthened."

Kitsuchi continued.

"If we do not find a way to deal with it, we will remain passive from here on."

Ōnoki rubbed his brow and said.

"I will have ANBU think of a solution."

After thinking briefly, Kitsuchi said, "If there is truly no other way, we can adopt a direct frontal assault."

For ninja, a frontal assault was always the worst option.

First, it did not suit a ninja's style.

Ninja excelled at infiltration and surprise attacks.

Second, a frontal assault could only rely on raw strength.

Win or lose, the losses would be greater.

But a frontal assault could minimize the influence of intelligence.

"You will be in charge this time."

After pondering for a moment, Ōnoki said, "Take four thousand ninja with you."

"Yes, Father!"

Hearing this, Kitsuchi knew Ōnoki was truly angry.

Sending out four thousand ninja at once was already a very large number.

After all, Iwa was fighting on two fronts, and there were still one thousand ninja locked in battle with Suna.

"Do not rush for quick results. First, figure out what is going on with their intelligence ability."

Ōnoki warned him, "As long as they are not allowed to push deeper into the Land of Earth, that is enough."

"Mm."

Kitsuchi nodded.

"Besides that, you need to pay attention to these ninja."

Ōnoki took out another piece of intelligence and said this.

Kitsuchi subconsciously glanced at it and found that all the names were familiar.

The first was Natsuki.

The reason Iwa had lost so badly was undoubtedly because of Natsuki.

Putting aside why he knew Iwa's movements, his strength had also played a decisive role.

The intelligence focused heavily on the performance of Unlimited Blade Works.

Of course, Iwa's ninja did not know it was called Unlimited Blade Works.

The second was the father and son pair, Might Duy and Might Guy.

When Iwa attacked Konoha's stronghold, they had encountered their powerful counterattack.

The forbidden technique, Eight Gates, had also become known.

The remaining three were Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan of Amegakure.

All three possessed large-scale ninjutsu and were powerful.

The most troublesome part was that they could fly.

When those two points were combined, on the battlefield, they were practically human-shaped bombs capable of causing large-scale destruction anywhere at any time.

It was worth mentioning that because the Rinnegan was a legendary eye, Iwa had not connected Nagato to the Rinnegan.

The same was true of the other villages.

After all, the last ninja to possess the Rinnegan had been the Sage of Six Paths.

But the Sage of Six Paths had lived a thousand years ago.

Moreover, many ninja did not even believe the Sage of Six Paths had truly existed.

"I really do not know where these three people came from."

After reading it, Kitsuchi sighed.

Hanzō had also risen to fame in Amegakure, but the path of his fame could be traced.

Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan, however, seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

Before this war, they had no real reputation.

Everyone had assumed they were puppets found by Konoha.

In Suna's main camp in the Land of Birds.

The same intelligence was also placed before Rasa.

But in his eyes, there was only Natsuki.

Rasa looked at the name Natsuki and remembered his previous battle against him.

Back then, Natsuki had also used Unlimited Blade Works, but he needed to use a Summoning Storage Scroll in advance to release a large number of swords.

Now, he no longer needed a Summoning Storage Scroll. He could summon a vast number of swords out of thin air.

Rasa thought of a possibility.

Unlimited Blade Works was space-time ninjutsu.

Because he had experienced it personally, he could easily guess its nature.

Aside from that, the strength Natsuki had displayed was also much greater than before.

Rasa subconsciously clenched his fist.

He still did not have full confidence that he could kill Natsuki.

Even though he had also become much stronger.

Rasa put down the intelligence, and his thoughts turned back to the war against Iwa.

After he arrived, Suna had gained a slight upper hand.

But defeating Iwa would depend on opportunity.

Because they did not have enough people.

Pakura was unwilling to send more ninja to him.

Thinking of this, Rasa felt a stabbing pain.

Everything began when he lost the Kazekage position.

After Pakura became Kazekage, his position in Suna plummeted.

Now, he had the feeling of a clever wife unable to cook without rice.

In the Land of Wind, in Suna, inside the Kazekage's office.

Pakura, whom Rasa wanted to kill as soon as possible, was currently leaning against the window, her face flushed as she looked at Suna outside.

Suna's sunset was beautiful, but the blush across her skin and the sheen of sweat on her face were no less beautiful.

Compared to her usual serious self, the current her carried a contrast and allure that were entirely different.

If anyone saw her like this, they would probably doubt whether this was truly their Kazekage.

But this beautiful scene belonged only to Natsuki.

He stood behind Pakura and held her soft body, feeling that this moment was perfectly complete.

A long while later, Pakura tensed, her long white legs trembling slightly as her arches curved to the limit.

"Kazekage-sama."

Natsuki sat on the sofa with Pakura in his arms and said with a smile, "Your strength is increasing very quickly."

Pakura leaned weakly in his embrace. Hearing his teasing, she could not help curling her lips.

"How is the situation inside Suna recently?"

Natsuki casually stroked her warm face and asked.

"After Rasa went to the Land of Birds, only Retsu remained in Suna. He has been very well-behaved."

Pakura paused and said, "Probably because Chiyo and Ebizō warned him."

"Those two old veterans are still very clever."

Natsuki said with a smile.

"Mm. They are troublesome."

Pakura agreed.

"But they are already old. They will retire eventually."

Natsuki's hand moved downward and rested over her heart. "If you cannot wait, you can send them to the battlefield in the Land of Birds."

"Suna needs them."

Pakura shifted slightly, her lashes trembling as she said, "If they die, Suna will be in danger instead."

"That is true."

Through the soft fullness at her chest, Natsuki felt her heartbeat.

"When are you going to make a move against Rasa?"

Pakura endured the strange feeling in her chest and asked.

"Wait another month."

Natsuki thought for a moment and said, "We will do it after the war with Iwa stabilizes."

"Has there been movement from Iwa?"

Hearing this, Pakura asked.

"I received intelligence that Iwa has sent another four thousand ninja, with Kitsuchi as the commander."

Natsuki answered.

"It seems Iwa is getting serious this time."

Hearing this, Pakura laughed.

"Why are you so happy?"

Natsuki raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Doesn't that just show how strong you are?"

Pakura's chest ached, and she quickly spoke.

"When the time comes, I will disguise myself as an Iwa ninja and kill Rasa."

Natsuki changed the topic.

"That is the best way for him to die."

Pakura looked at him and said.

If Rasa died at Konoha's hands, things would become troublesome instead.

If he died at Iwa's hands, Pakura only needed to send more ninja and expand the scale of the war with Iwa.

With Konoha helping hold back Iwa's main force, the pressure on Suna would not be too great.

At least, it would not be as great as the pressure she had faced before.

After finishing their serious discussion, the two began chatting casually.

"Which female ninja in Suna do you think are beautiful?"

Pakura suddenly thought of something and asked.

"What kind of strange question is that?"

Natsuki asked in confusion.

"If you take a liking to anyone, I will help you get her."

Pakura blinked and said without hesitation.

"Is that the kind of person I am in your mind?"

The corner of Natsuki's mouth could not help twitching.

"No."

Pakura answered honestly, "I am doing it for myself."

Natsuki paused slightly, then understood.

She was the Kazekage. Why was she trying to call in outside help?

But from another perspective, it also revealed Pakura's way of thinking.

The shinobi world looked modern on the surface, but in reality, it was still in a feudal era.

Precisely because of this, Pakura could have such a thought.

"Among the female ninja in Suna who match my taste, right now, there is only you."

Natsuki thought for a moment and said.

In the original timeline, Suna did not have many beautiful female ninja.

The most famous one was Temari.

After her was Pakura.

The remaining female ninja were all about the same.

As for Karura, she had too few scenes, so she could only be considered passable.

In the original timeline, she died giving birth to Gaara and did not have much of a role.

Pakura could not help freezing.

For some reason, she actually felt quite happy.

(To be continued.)
