"Is it already over?"
Tsunade thought as she released the Shadow Clone Technique.
A large amount of mories returned, letting her understand the entire sequence of events.
She had to admit, Natsuki's performance could be called perfect.
Tsunade had originally thought this rescue operation would be extrely dangerous, because Kumo had made a great deal of preparation.
That could be seen from the fact that they had captured Kushina right in front of the Konoha Anbu Ninja.
The reason this rescue operation had been so simple was entirely because of Natsuki.
Although her Shadow Clone had also participated, it had only played a supporting role.
It was Natsuki who imdiately confird Kushina's location through Kuroba, and it was also he who acted very decisively.
Most importantly, he had enough strength.
Shadow Space, combined with his modified Hiding in Mist Technique, allowed him and her Shadow Clone to easily defeat those two Kumo Jonin.
Tsunade felt that even if it were another Jonin stronger than Natsuki, it would still be difficult to do it so easily.
Just then, Nawaki and Minato arrived late.
Their strength was inferior to Tsunade and the Anbu Ninja, so naturally, their speed was slower as well.
"This... it was solved this quickly?"
Nawaki said while panting, "What a sha, I... I didn't get to help."
"As long as Kushina is fine."
Minato looked at Natsuki and Kushina hugging each other, and his feelings were sowhat complicated.
But he quickly regained his calm.
"You guys take these two Kumo Jonin back and extract information from them."
Tsunade looked at the Anbu Ninja and instructed, "Be sure to find every single Kumo spy!"
"Yes, Tsunade-sama."
The Anbu Ninja imdiately left with the dead Kumo Jonin.
"Kushina."
Tsunade teased, "How long are you planning to keep hugging him?"
Kushina subconsciously pushed Natsuki away.
She lowered her head, and an uncontrollable blush appeared on her cute face.
"Thankfully, this ti was more frightening than dangerous."
Tsunade rubbed her head and said, "Konoha has also turned misfortune into fortune. We can use this chance to wipe out all of Kumo's spies in one move."
[Congratulations, Host, for unlocking Uzumaki Naruto Template Ability Two: Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.]
Natsuki's spirit stirred, and a large amount of information surged into his mind.
The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique was actually very similar to the Shadow Clone Technique, but it removed the limit on quantity.
In theory, as long as there was enough Chakra, it could create countless Shadow Clones.
For example, Naruto.
Every ti he fought, he would always use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, creating over a thousand Shadow Clones and carrying out his human wave tactics.
As for ordinary Ninja, if they created more than twenty Shadow Clones at once, their Chakra could be exhausted, leading to death.
Natsuki currently had four Kakashi's worth of Chakra, so creating twenty Shadow Clones would not be enough to kill him.
But after they were released, the mories, experience, fatigue, and various injuries that returned would probably be more than he could endure.
In short, he should avoid creating too many Shadow Clones.
Especially when using them for training, he had to be even more cautious.
Natsuki estimated that he could create at most five Shadow Clones for training. Any more than that would be too painful.
However, five Shadow Clones were already enough.
With the unlocking of Ability Two, the Uzumaki Naruto character template had been completely fused with him.
[You have awakened the Kirigaya Kazuto Template.]
A sudden line of text appeared before Natsuki's eyes.
He could not help but freeze.
This was the Kirito Template?
A of Starburst Stream imdiately surfaced in his mind.
Natsuki rubbed his chin.
Why had he awakened the Kirigaya Kazuto Template?
Without a doubt, it was related to him saving Kushina.
In Sword Art Online, Kirigaya Kazuto had also gone to save the captured Asuna.
From that perspective, the two of them had similar actions.
Natsuki thought as he looked at his newly obtained Kirigaya Kazuto Template.
....
[Na: Kirigaya Kazuto.]
[Period: Fairy Dance Arc.]
[World: Sword Art Online.]
[Rank: A-rank.]
[Ability One: Night Vision, Unlocked.]

[Unlock Condition: Defeat one battlefield commander.]
...
Natsuki could not help but nod in satisfaction.
The Kirigaya Kazuto Template was A-rank, aning that in Naruto, he was roughly at the level of a Jonin.
Ability One, Night Vision.
Although Ninja could use Chakra to enhance their night vision, once Chakra was used, it was easy for enemies to detect them.
The Night Vision from the Kirigaya Kazuto Template ca from a racial trait, aning it was a natural ability and did not require Chakra.
In the future, when Natsuki carried out nightti infiltration missions, he would have quite an advantage.
Ability Two, Extraordinary Reaction Speed.
Natsuki imdiately thought of Minato and the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Reaction speed was undoubtedly one of the necessary conditions for training in the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Right now, all he lacked was spatial talent.
Of course, even if he could not learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, extraordinary reaction speed would still be very useful in battle.
The unlock condition was just a bit troubleso.
It required him to dodge most of the attacks during battles against three Tokubetsu Jonin or Jonin.
Dodging attacks was often harder than taking them head-on.
The remaining three abilities all ca from Kirigaya Kazuto's Dual Blades skills.
But they were not complete, only three of them.
However, these three were the strongest among the Dual Blades skills.
Ability Three had the simplest unlock condition.
Orochimaru had previously promised to give him a Kusanagi Sword.
Moreover, Ability Three only required him to possess a second blade or sword. It did not say it had to be famous.
In other words, Natsuki could unlock it by casually buying one.
The unlock conditions for Ability Four and Ability Five were the most difficult.
The forr required him to defeat three Fire Release Jonin.
The latter required him to defeat one battlefield commander.
With Natsuki's current strength, he could defeat a Jonin if he caught them off guard.
However, there was also a possibility of things going wrong.
But defeating a battlefield commander was an enormous challenge for him.
What was a battlefield commander?
For example, Orochimaru, who had been sent to the Land of Rain this ti, was Konoha's battlefield commander.
In other words, Natsuki had to defeat Ninja like Hanzō, Orochimaru, or Chiyo.
The only thing that comforted him was that there was no strict requirent for him to defeat them one-on-one.
However, he was not in a hurry either.
If he wanted to unlock Ability Five, he had to participate in the Second Shinobi World War.
For Natsuki, that would be next year's matter.
By next year, his strength would be able to increase quite a lot.
(To be continued.)
