Naruto: Multiverse Character Templates Chapter 142: A Different Kushina

Ti entered May.

The Land of Rain.

Chino and Fūshin walked while looking around.

They suddenly realized that although life in the fighting arena had been unpleasant, at least food and clothing had never been a problem.

But for the people living in the Land of Rain, even food and clothing were difficult.

The Land of Rain's tropolis looked sowhat better.

But outside the tropolis, the residents were no different from refugees.

The effects of war were difficult to erase in a short ti.

Coupled with the inaction of the Land of Rain's daimyō, the Land of Rain was no different from hell on earth.

"We're here. Akatsuki's base is inside."

As Natsuki spoke, he pushed open the door.

"Natsuki-sensei!"

Yahiko's excited voice rang out.

But the first one to run over was not him. It was Konan.

"Good morning."

Natsuki rubbed Konan's head and said.

"Mm."

Konan wanted to say sothing, but in the end, she only responded.

What she actually wanted to ask was why he had taken so long to return.

After all, before Natsuki left, he had promised her that it would not take long.

"I'll introduce them to you."

Natsuki pointed at Chino and Fūshin and said, "They are Akatsuki's new mbers, Chino and Fūshin."

He then briefly explained their backgrounds and strength.

Nagato did not have much of a reaction, but Yahiko and Konan felt a faint sense of urgency.

Because Chino and Fūshin looked a little older than them, placing them in the sa age range, and both had Kekkei Genkai.

If they did not work hard, they might one day be replaced by them.

"Where's Kakuzu?"

Natsuki looked around and asked.

"He's at the shop."

Hearing this, Yahiko said excitedly, "Business at our shop is especially good now. Many nobles co every day!"

Natsuki nodded slightly, not surprised.

His marketing strategy had worked.

With the Land of Rain's daimyō taking the lead, it had set a trend among the upper class of the Land of Rain.

Akatsuki's next actions would also be related to the Land of Rain's daimyō.

Especially now that Chino had joined, Akatsuki's actions would beco even more convenient.

Because she had the Ketsuryūgan.

Using the Ketsuryūgan to control the Land of Rain's daimyō would allow Akatsuki to develop faster.

While waiting, Natsuki asked about Yahiko and the others' training.

Yahiko and Konan were still training in Soru.

Nagato had already learned Soru and was training in Geppo.

At noon, Kakuzu finally appeared.

Seeing that Natsuki had returned, he did not say much and handed him a scroll.

Natsuki opened the scroll and began reading.

The contents of the scroll were about Akatsuki's recent situation, including the sales of the Stamina Recovery Potion and Akatsuki's inco and expenses.

"As expected of a professional. The financial report is very detailed."

After reading it, Natsuki said with a smile.

"It's nothing."

Kakuzu said indifferently.

In truth, he had not known how to make financial reports before and had learned it recently.

Because when he had been a bounty hunter, his inco and expenses had been very simple. There had been no need for financial reports.

"There are two things I need you to do."

Natsuki put away the scroll and said, "The first is to establish an orphanage."

The Land of Rain had been at war for years, especially after just experiencing the Second Shinobi World War. Orphans could be found everywhere.

His purpose in establishing an orphanage was to select a group of reasonably talented orphans and have them learn the Six Powers.

After learning them, they could join CP9 and gather intelligence for Akatsuki.

Even if they did not join CP9, they could still join Akatsuki or the Daybreak Company as ordinary employees.

Because they would be raised from childhood, their loyalty would definitely be higher.

"Do this in the na of the Land of Rain's daimyō."

Natsuki paused and said, "Chino, use genjutsu to directly control the Land of Rain's daimyō."

Chino froze for a mont, then agreed.

If she had been a shinobi from one of the normal Five Great Villages, she would definitely have asked why.

After all, controlling the Land of Rain's daimyō did not conform to shinobi principles and could be considered treasonous.

But Chino did not care about that. She also did not understand shinobi principles.

Kakuzu, Yahiko, and the others were the sa.

"The second matter is to recruit so shinobi to protect the orphanage and the Daybreak Company, also in the na of the Land of Rain's daimyō."

Natsuki thought for a mont and said, "At the sa ti, publicize that our company's purpose is to bring peace and developnt to the Land of Rain."

He understood very well the importance of having a proper banner.

Even Nagato's Akatsuki after he fell into darkness acted under the banner of bringing peace to the shinobi world.

Aside from that, Madara and Obito were the sa. They wanted to create a new world.

Only Black Zetsu had been trying to save his mother from beginning to end.

As for Akatsuki before Nagato fell into darkness, there was even less need to explain.

Relying on the dream of bringing peace to the Land of Rain and the shinobi world, they gathered a group of like-minded shinobi.

But because they grew too strong, they were targeted by Hanzō and Danzō, leading to tragedy.

"The orphanage will be handled by Chino and Fūshin."

Natsuki finally said, "The recruitnt will be handled by Kakuzu."

"Then we..."

Yahiko could not help speaking.

"You focus on training."

Natsuki interrupted him and said, "You are still young. Once your strength improves, there will be plenty of things for you to do."

Hearing this, Yahiko said nothing more.

Although he felt they could help now, their strength was indeed insufficient. They could not even compare to Chino and Fūshin.

Ti arrived at the next day.

Natsuki brought Chino and Fūshin smoothly into the daimyō's mansion.

The Land of Rain's daimyō was a middle-aged man.

When they saw him, he was enjoying a group of maids dancing.

Natsuki was too lazy to waste words and had Chino control him with the Ketsuryūgan.

Establishing the orphanage beca simple.

They did not even need to buy a building. The daimyō directly provided a large residence to serve as the orphanage.

At the sa ti, he had people gather the orphans in the Land of Rain's tropolis.

In just three short days, the orphanage was already full, with over a hundred children.

This showed the cruelty of the Land of Rain during warti.

But Natsuki knew change could not happen overnight.

At least the current Akatsuki had clearer goals than the Akatsuki in the original work.

In the original work, Akatsuki's interference in the Land of Rain was actually very crude.

They poured money in and maintained peace through force.

But in the end, those were only temporary solutions.

Kakuzu's side also went smoothly.

Using the underground black market's channels, he sent notices to nearby shinobi.

The next day, many shinobi ca to their door.

Wandering shinobi nowadays had a very difficult life. Seeing a company willing to provide food, shelter, and pay, they naturally rushed over.

Kakuzu selected so shinobi with decent strength to join the Daybreak Company.

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking Kibutsuji Muzan Template Ability Two: Blood Curse.]

As the number of shinobi in Akatsuki exceeded twelve, Natsuki also unlocked Blood Curse.

But he did not rush to convert Chino or Yahiko.

The main reason was that he had only recently obtained the blood secret techniques and had not yet unlocked Blood Demon Art.

If he converted them now, he would not have corresponding Blood Demon Arts to teach them.

Two months passed in the blink of an eye.

The Daybreak Company had now gained so fa in the Land of Rain.

Fortunately, the Land of Rain's daimyō served as cover.

Other lands and shinobi villages regarded the Daybreak Company as an official organization created by the Land of Rain.

The orphanage, on the other hand, had no fa.

Although it had no fa, it was very lively.

The orphans in the orphanage did two things.

In the morning, they attended theory lessons. In the afternoon, they attended taijutsu lessons. Their days were quite full.

Natsuki returned to Konoha.

In truth, during these two months, he had already returned a few tis.

This ti, he returned because of Nonō.

She had applied for the Jonin exam.

As a dical shinobi, her Jonin exam was naturally different.

Nonō would serve as the lead surgeon for a difficult operation.

In the past, although she had participated in many difficult operations, she had always been Tsunade's assistant.

"In three months, I'm applying for the Jonin exam too!"

Nawaki clenched his fist and said.

Natsuki was already a Jonin.

Although Nonō was not yet one, with her strength, becoming a Jonin would not be difficult.

Their team now only had him left as soone who was not a Jonin.

"How is your Water Breathing coming along?"

Natsuki glanced at him and asked.

"I feel like I can learn all of it by next month."

Nawaki thought for a mont and said.

"Then why wait three months?"

Kushina asked in confusion.

"Because I'm still learning Water Release."

Nawaki chuckled and said, "In three months, I'll be able to learn Hanzō's Water Release: Water Body Flicker Technique!"

"His Water Release: Water Body Flicker Technique is indeed very useful."

Hearing this, Natsuki nodded and said.

Hanzō's Water Release: Water Body Flicker Technique was very similar to the Hōzuki clan's Hydrification Technique from Kirigakure.

It allowed the user to turn into a pool of water and beco immune to purely physical attacks. Its greatest weakness was Lightning Release ninjutsu.

Other ninjutsu, if powerful enough, could also have an effect.

For example, Fire Release could burn and evaporate the water.

Speaking of the Water Release: Water Body Flicker Technique, it was also related to Natsuki.

Hanzō's Water Release: Water Body Flicker Technique was his unique Water Release technique.

The other Agakure shinobi did not know it.

But Hanzō had already been blown to pieces by explosive tags, making it difficult to piece him back together.

Fortunately, the salamander Ibuse had seen him train in Water Release: Water Body Flicker Technique.

With its help, they eventually obtained the Water Release: Water Body Flicker Technique.

"When the ti cos, rember to co back for my Jonin exam."

Nawaki reminded him.

"Definitely."

Natsuki nodded and said.

He understood why Nawaki said that.

It was because he had been frequently going to the Land of Rain during this period.

But in the future, he would not need to go so often.

Because Akatsuki's developnt had already entered the right track.

With or without him, the difference was no longer large. The only thing he could do was gather the Twelve Kizuki.

"Can I go to Konoha Hospital today?"

Kushina looked at Tsunade and asked.

Since it was surgery, Nonō's Jonin exam would naturally take place in Konoha Hospital.

"Nothing is happening anyway. I think Kushina can co with us."

Natsuki hinted.

"Alright."

Tsunade thought for a mont and agreed.

When Natsuki said nothing was happening, he ant that Kushina had not gone berserk for a long ti.

This was thanks to his suggestion.

Although her relationship with the Nine-Tails was not especially good now, they could still be considered friends.

Especially since she tempted the Nine-Tails with food and grasped its weakness.

Even if the Nine-Tails refused to admit it.

Seeing Tsunade agree, Kushina imdiately beca very excited.

But because they were eating, it was not convenient for her to celebrate with Natsuki.

After thinking for a mont, she raised her leg and used her jade-like foot, wrapped in a black over-knee stocking, to rub Natsuki's leg.

Natsuki subconsciously glanced at her.

Where did you learn this kind of table manners?

Fortunately, no one else noticed.

After breakfast, the group arrived at Konoha Hospital.

"This operation will take so ti."

Tsunade stood at the entrance of the operating room and said, "The three of you can wander around."

"Nonō, do your best!"

Kushina waved her small fist and said.

Nonō responded softly.

"Nonō looks calm and composed, so there definitely won't be any problem."

Nawaki said with a smile.

Natsuki did not say anything. He only reached out and rubbed Nonō's head.

Nonō stared at him for two seconds and also said nothing.

"Natsuki, keep an eye on Kushina and Nawaki."

Tsunade gave one reminder, then entered the operating room with Nonō.

"What does she an, keep an eye on ?"

Nawaki could not help complaining, "Am I going to get lost in Konoha or sothing?"

"Tsunade-sama wasn't talking about you."

Kushina blinked slyly, then grabbed Natsuki's hand and said, "She ant Natsuki should keep an eye on ."

What do you an?

Am I unnecessary now?

Should I leave?

The corner of Nawaki's mouth twitched.

"Kushina, what have you been doing lately?"

Natsuki asked curiously.

He felt Kushina was a little different.

Although her personality had always been like this, she seed much bolder today.

"Besides training, I've been reading."

Kushina smiled and said, "Last ti, Jiraiya-sama brought a lot of novels. They're really good!"

Natsuki was imdiately full of question marks.

Jiraiya, what are you doing?

But on second thought, the current Jiraiya had not started writing Make-Out Paradise yet. He was still a very traditional writer.

His head was full of ninja-thed stories and novels about the Child of Prophecy.

And Kushina's identity was special, so the books given to her would also be checked by Hiruzen and Tsunade.

"They are indeed quite good."

Nawaki agreed and said, "I also read a few ninja adventure novels."

"I hope one day I can go adventuring with you!"

Kushina said with anticipation.

"There will be a chance."

Natsuki said seriously.

Kushina nodded and said, "Let's go walk around outside."

The three of them left Konoha Hospital and arrived on a nearby street.

They had no particular goal. They just looked around and bought so snacks along the way.

After playing around for a while, they returned to Konoha Hospital.

They waited a little longer before the operating room door slowly opened.

"How did it go?"

Nawaki asked impatiently.

"The surgery was very successful. The rest can be left to Konoha Hospital."

Tsunade smiled and said, "Let's go see Sensei and complete the procedure for becoming a Jonin."

"Nonō, congratulations."

Natsuki looked at Nonō and said.

"Thank you."

Nonō was as gentle as always.

The group went to the Hokage's office.

"This truly wasn't easy."

Hiruzen was very happy and said, "Konoha finally has another dical Jonin."

From the Hokage's perspective, the role of one dical Jonin was comparable to ten other Jonin.

After all, the more dical Jonin there were, the more shinobi they could save.

And Nonō was still so young. Her future strength would definitely not be inferior to Tsunade's.

"Since you have beco a dical Jonin, you can take a position in Konoha Hospital."

Hiruzen thought for a mont and said, "I will have Konoha Hospital specially prepare an office for you."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Nonō imdiately responded.

Tsunade did not say anything after hearing this.

dical shinobi, like other shinobi, needed to accumulate experience.

Not combat experience, but treatnt experience.

The best place to accumulate treatnt experience was naturally Konoha Hospital.

The attending physicians at Konoha Hospital had to be dical Jonin.

After becoming an attending physician, one would have considerable authority, including an office and assistants. Their salary would also increase greatly, making them equivalent to half a high-level official.

But correspondingly, they would need to lead difficult operations.

"It seems if I get injured in the future, I can go to Nonō."

Nawaki said with a smile.

"What are you saying?"

Tsunade raised her hand and knocked him on the head.

Nawaki quickly reacted.

Saying sothing like that sounded unlucky.

"Nawaki, when are you applying for the Jonin exam?"

Hiruzen asked with a smile.

"In three more months!"

Nawaki imdiately said, "When the ti cos, I'll definitely pass in one try!"

"Then I'll have to choose a good opponent for you."

Hiruzen nodded slightly and said.

"Hokage-sama, there's no need to choose specially."

Nawaki quickly shook his head.

"What? No confidence?"

Hiruzen teased.

"I have confidence!"

Nawaki scratched his head and said, "What I an is that Hokage-sama handles countless matters every day. There's no need to trouble yourself over a small thing like mine."

"After spending so much ti with Natsuki, you've beco much better at talking."

Hearing this, Hiruzen said with so surprise.

Tsunade subconsciously glanced at Natsuki.

The old Nawaki really would have had difficulty saying sothing so tactful.

Nawaki was imdiately speechless.

Although it was praise, sohow he did not feel very happy.

"Go collect the Jonin vest."

Hiruzen returned to the main topic and said, "As for Nonō becoming a Jonin, I will have ANBU notify everyone."

The group then left the Hokage's office.

After collecting the Jonin vest, they returned to the Senju clan residence.

"To celebrate Nonō becoming a Jonin, we're having a feast tonight!"

After Nawaki finished speaking, he looked at Natsuki.

"Then I'll cook."

Natsuki smiled and said.

"I'll help!"

Kushina quickly said.

"Nawaki, you can go call Minato and the others over."

Tsunade suddenly thought of sothing and said.

Like Natsuki, Jiraiya had been frequently leaving the village now and then.

He just so happened to be away from Konoha during this period.

"Got it."

Nawaki nodded and said.

A lively lunch began just like that.

In the afternoon, everyone started their own training.

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking Misaka Mikoto Template Ability Six: Lightning Giant.]

Natsuki nodded in satisfaction.

After obtaining the Seven Release Talent from the Kakashi Template, his speed in learning Lightning Release ninjutsu had soared.

Now, he had finally unlocked Lightning Giant.

A large amount of information poured into his mind.

Natsuki discovered that Lightning Giant was stronger than he had imagined.

Not only could it be used as a power source, but it could also be used as half a Susanoo.

If there was enough chakra and enough material, it could even reach the size of a tailed beast.

Although its strength could not compare to one, blocking one for a while would not be a problem.

(To be continued.)
