Naruto: Multiverse Character Templates Chapter 79: Sleep Together

Under the night sky, the Sarutobi clan's residence was brightly lit and extrely lively.

Because today was the seventh day after Asuma's birth.

Natsuki followed Orochimaru and Tsunade into the banquet, but he did not sit at the sa table as them.

He, Nawaki, Minato, Kushina, and Nonō sat at the sa table, commonly known as the children's table.

Aside from them, there were also Uzumaki Kae, Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Chōza, Yamanaka Inoichi, and others.

Natsuki looked around and, with Nawaki's enthusiastic introductions, recognized quite a few characters from the original story.

For example, Uchiha Fugaku, Hyūga Hiashi, Yūhi Shinku, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura.

It was not until the seventh-night banquet was about to begin that he saw Danzō.

The current Darkness of the Shinobi was sowhat different from the version who appeared in the original story. He did not yet have that arm full of Sharingan, nor was he disabled.

Danzō's gaze swept around.

When he saw Natsuki, Nonō, and the others, he paused slightly, and his eyes changed.

But he soon returned to normal.

Clearly, his heart was not as calm as it seed.

The more famous Natsuki and Nonō beca, the more regret he felt.

If they had joined Root back then, Root's strength would definitely have risen to another level by now.

Unfortunately, there were no ifs.

For the ti being, he had no way to deal with Natsuki and Nonō.

Unless he could beco Hokage.

But that was also a delusion.

Danzō was very clear that the next Hokage would definitely be born from among Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade.

Even if he shalessly competed for it, he would not be able to beat them.

"He is Shimura Danzō, the leader of Root. Root belongs to Anbu, but it is not managed by Anbu."

Nawaki introduced him and said, "Root has a terrible reputation and does all kinds of evil. Don't get involved with him unless you have to."

"I understand."

Natsuki nodded slightly.

Nonō subconsciously looked at him.

She rembered when Root had tested them at the Konoha Orphanage, and Natsuki had told her to hide her talent.

At that ti, she still had not understood the reason for doing so, but now she understood everything.

Fortunately, she had listened back then. Otherwise, she would have joined Root and lived a completely different life.

Just then, Hiruzen walked out.

Together with him were Biwako and Asuma in her arms.

A phrase suddenly appeared in Natsuki's mind, vigorous despite old age.

Because the current Hiruzen was already forty-two years old, while Biwako was one year younger, forty-one.

Their age could be considered having a child in their later years.

Natsuki secretly thought that he was truly a model for his generation.

Hiruzen simply said a few words, then announced the official start of the seventh-night banquet.

Natsuki chatted with Nawaki and the others while finishing today's dinner.

The night gradually deepened.

After the seventh-night banquet ended, Natsuki and the others each returned ho.

The next day, Orochimaru greeted them and returned to the Land of Rain.

Two more days passed, and Jiraiya suddenly appeared before them.

After exchanging greetings, he took Minato away, saying that he would teach him alone for a period of ti.

Natsuki guessed that he was going to teach Minato that legendary ninjutsu, the Flying Thunder God Technique.

But Jiraiya did not teach for very long. Less than two months later, he left in a hurry.

Because the situation on the Land of Rain battlefield had changed suddenly. In the end, Konoha could not avoid it and began a three-way lee with Agakure and Sunagakure.

However, Konoha's involvent actually lowered the intensity of the Land of Rain battlefield sowhat.

After all, in a three-way lee, if two sides fought too fiercely, it would be easy for the third party to take advantage.

Ti reached December.

After the final exam of Class A, Year Four's second sester ended, winter vacation began.

Natsuki also smoothly unlocked a new ability.

[Congratulations, Host, for unlocking Kamado Tanjiro Template Ability Five, Water Breathing, Tenth Form, Constant Flux.]

Natsuki had obtained the Kamado Tanjiro Template for more than a year, close to two years.

Now, he had finally unlocked all of its abilities.

But he was not in a hurry to test Water Breathing, Tenth Form, Constant Flux.

Natsuki took a deep breath and activated Water Breathing, Total Concentration, Constant.

In an instant, he felt his body change.

With every breath, he had the illusion that his body was becoming stronger.

In fact, it was not exactly an illusion.

Water Breathing, Total Concentration, Constant ant he could maintain fully focused breathing throughout the entire day.

This was equivalent to him keeping Water Breathing active at all tis and never turning it off.

As ti passed, his body would subtly beco stronger and stronger.

Natsuki rubbed his chin.

After the Kamado Tanjiro Template fully fused, he had one less thing to do.

He no longer needed to spend ti training Water Breathing and Water Release chakra nature transformation.

Next, he should unlock the Kirigaya Kazuto Template and the Sasaki Kojirō Template.

He could first unlock the Kirigaya Kazuto Template's Ability Two, Extraordinary Reaction Speed.

After all, extraordinary reaction speed was very useful in battle.

It seed he had to go out on a mission.

"Natsuki."

Just then, Tsunade's voice reached him.

Natsuki ca back to his senses and walked into the courtyard.

"Sis, is there a new mission?"

Nawaki asked expectantly.

The reason he asked this was because Tsunade had called them over as soon as she returned.

Whenever this had happened before, it was because she had accepted a mission for them.

"There is a mission, but it has nothing to do with you."

Tsunade shook her head and said, "This mission, I'm only taking Natsuki."

"Why?"

Nawaki imdiately shouted, "If we're talking about swordsmanship alone, I can already take the Tokubetsu Jonin exam!"

"I naturally know your strength very well."

Tsunade explained, "This mission is to the Land of Rain. The battlefield is chaotic, and your strength still isn't enough."

"Natsuki hasn't even graduated yet, right? How can he be allowed to go to the Land of Rain?"

Nawaki froze and asked.

Kushina and Nonō also showed worried expressions.

As for Minato, he had been learning the Flying Thunder God Technique from Hiruzen during this period.

Jiraiya was on the Land of Rain battlefield and had no way to teach him.

Tsunade also could not teach him the Flying Thunder God Technique, so in the end, Hiruzen could only teach him, or rather, guide him.

"Natsuki is already comparable to a Jonin. Even in the Land of Rain, he is qualified to go."

Tsunade paused for a mont, then said, "Our mission this ti is to deliver supplies to the Land of Rain and bring back the seriously ill ninja on the way."

"Damn it!"

Nawaki clenched his fists and said, "I also have to reach Jonin-level strength as soon as possible!"

"Strictly speaking, I'm not even a Genin."

Natsuki blinked and said.

"That's true."

Tsunade could not help laughing when she heard this.

From this perspective, Natsuki could be called an oddity in Konoha's history.

He clearly had Jonin-level strength, yet he had not even graduated from the Ninja Academy.

"How can you still joke at a ti like this?"

Kushina placed both hands on her hips and said, "The Land of Rain is a battlefield. You have to be careful!"

"With Tsunade-sensei there, nothing will happen."

Natsuki reached out and pinched her cheek.

Kushina snorted softly, but she did not say anything else.

"Alright, Natsuki, go make preparations. We'll set off this afternoon."

Tsunade rubbed Kushina's head and said.

Natsuki did not have much to prepare.

He hoped even more that he would encounter a few Tokubetsu Jonin or Jonin during the mission so he could unlock his abilities.

Ti reached the afternoon.

After Natsuki said goodbye to Kushina and the others, he left with Tsunade.

"The supplies being sent to the Land of Rain this ti are mainly Red Healing Potions and Blue Healing Potions."

Tsunade took the initiative to speak, "Aside from that, there are also ninja tools and food."

Natsuki nodded.

He was not surprised that the two potions he had invented had beco logistics supplies.

dical ninja were scarce, and injuries on the battlefield were commonplace, so potions naturally beca extrely important.

"The reason I'm taking you with is because only you and I can make Red Healing Potions."

Tsunade added.

"Are we going to stay in the Land of Rain for a while?"

Natsuki reacted and asked.

"Mm."

Tsunade answered, "We need to make a batch of Red Healing Potions before leaving."

Natsuki did not mind when he heard this.

After all, it would give him more ti to unlock the abilities of his character templates.

When they arrived at Konoha's village entrance, a group of ninja was already waiting.

"Tsunade-sama."

A young man with Byakugan stepped forward and said, "All supplies are in place. Nothing is missing."

"Thank you, Hizashi."

Tsunade nodded, waved her hand, and shouted, "Move out!"

Natsuki subconsciously glanced at Hyūga Hizashi.

He was Hyūga Hiashi's younger twin brother, and his ending was rather tragic.

Kumo's ninja kidnapped Hyūga Hinata, were discovered by Hiashi, and were killed on the spot by him.

As a result, Kumo turned around and demanded that Konoha hand over the culprit.

To prevent Kumo from declaring war on Konoha, Hizashi eventually chose to die in Hiashi's place.

"Hello, I'm Hyūga Hizashi."

Hizashi looked at Natsuki and spoke.

"I'm Natsuki. Hizashi-senpai, it's nice to et you."

Natsuki imdiately responded.

"Although I'm your senpai, in terms of strength, I might not necessarily be better than you."

Hizashi said with a smile.

Natsuki was extrely famous in Konoha now, so he naturally knew quite a few of his achievents.

For example, defeating Mifune, the leader of the samurai of the Land of Iron.

Natsuki felt that Hizashi was not as repressed or cold as he was in the original story.

It was probably because he was still young now, and his relationship with Hiashi had not yet broken down.

"We haven't fought, so the result is still uncertain."

Natsuki casually said, "I'm very interested in the Byakugan and Gentle Fist. When we have ti, we can spar and exchange pointers."

Although Hizashi was young, his strength was not weak. At present, he could more or less be considered a Tokubetsu Jonin.

In other words, he satisfied the conditions for unlocking character template abilities.

"No problem."

Hizashi agreed.

Unlike the Uchiha clan, although the Hyūga clan was proud, they knew how to read the situation.

At least on the surface, they had always supported the Hokage faction.

Natsuki was a ninja of the Hokage faction, so of course he would not offend him.

The Land of Rain bordered the Land of Fire and was located northwest of the Land of Fire.

The group carried the supplies and headed toward the northwest.

By evening, they successfully arrived at the border.

Tsunade did not rush into the Land of Rain.

The Land of Rain was currently in a state of war. Once they entered, they could encounter battle at any mont.

They had already traveled for an entire day and did not have enough stamina to deal with combat.

Tsunade imdiately ordered everyone to set up camp on the spot and rest for the night before setting off again.

"Tsunade-sensei, which tent do I sleep in?"

Natsuki looked left and right and asked.

"You'll sleep with ."

Tsunade said casually.

"Ah?"

Natsuki imdiately froze.

"What? Are you embarrassed?"

Tsunade teased, "We're sleeping in sleeping bags anyway. What does it matter?"

"I'm happy."

Natsuki coughed lightly and said.

"Looks like I'm still quite charming."

The corners of Tsunade's mouth rose as she smiled.

"Of course!"

Natsuki imdiately praised her, "Tsunade-sensei, in my heart, you've always been Konoha's number one beauty."

"Not bad, not bad."

Tsunade beca even happier after hearing this.

She wrapped an arm around Natsuki and walked toward the tent.

Natsuki's head crashed into her soft chest, and he felt a fragrant scent spread around him.

He opened his eyes and could only see her clothes and the rise and fall of her skin.

Only after entering the tent was he able to breathe fresh air again.

"Bento."

Tsunade sat down on the carpet and said.

Natsuki sat across from her, took a bento from his Shadow Space, and handed it to her.

Every ti they went out on a mission, Tsunade would freeload his bento. He had long since gotten used to it.

"Why have I studied for so long, but my cooking still can't compare to yours?"

Tsunade took a bite of fried shrimp, chewing as she revealed an expression of enjoynt.

"Your cooking skills are already very good now."

Natsuki casually said, "If you want to improve further, it depends on comprehension."

"Why does that sound like improving strength?"

Tsunade said lazily, "Forget it. I'm already very satisfied. There's no need to improve my cooking further."

After finishing the al, she handed the empty bento box to Natsuki.

Natsuki stood up, preparing to wash it.

Just as he took a step, he saw an astonishing scene.

Tsunade's mature body fell backward, and after making contact with the carpet, her whole body shook twice.

Natsuki felt his scalp go numb.

He turned and walked outside.

By the ti he finished washing the bento box, Tsunade looked even less proper, casually lying on the carpet.

"Aren't you using a sleeping bag?"

Natsuki asked.

"The sleeping bag is too narrow. It isn't comfortable to sleep in."

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "You can use it."

"Were you this casual before too? It doesn't look like you're carrying out a mission."

Natsuki asked curiously.

"Of course not."

Tsunade glared at him and said, "I only relax a little in front of you and Nawaki."

Natsuki thought about it carefully. During their previous missions, she had indeed had the bearing of a ninja.

Of course, judging from the original story, all of that was just her disguise.

The way she was now was her true nature.

No wonder when it ca to competing for Fourth Hokage, only Orochimaru participated.

Jiraiya spent every day searching for the Child of Prophecy, Tsunade had no interest in being Hokage at all, and only Orochimaru had so degree of willingness.

But his willingness was not that high either.

He competed for Fourth Hokage in order to make it easier to conduct experints.

Now that Nawaki had not died, it was hard to say.

(To be continued.)
