Chapter 150: Chapter 153: Bruno Template, Door-Door Fruit
"He won!"
Uzumaki Kushina said happily. "Natsuki is still the stronger one!"
"Yeah."
Nawaki nodded, then suddenly thought of something and said in a depressed tone. "I probably can’t beat Minato anymore."
Natsuki had exceptional reaction speed, able to instantly catch Namikaze Minato using the Flying Thunder God Technique and counterattack.
But he couldn’t.
He could imagine that if he sparred with Namikaze Minato, he would definitely be played like a fiddle.
If he didn’t have Tekkai and Armament Haki, he would likely be one-shot.
But even with them, he would just be passively taking a beating.
Since he couldn’t counterattack, he was destined to lose eventually.
"The Flying Thunder God Technique is truly terrifying."
Nawaki scratched his head in annoyance at the thought.
He couldn’t think of how to defeat Namikaze Minato, who possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Natsuki glanced at him.
He couldn’t be blamed.
The Flying Thunder God Technique was a nightmare for the vast majority of ninjas.
In the original work, Namikaze Minato’s most exaggerated battle record was instantly killing fifty Iwagakure Jonin.
This was the broken part of the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Ninjas who couldn’t react in time, even if they were Jonin, were just fodder in front of Namikaze Minato.
Coupled with ultra-long-distance teleportation, allowing him to attack and flee at will, there was practically no one who could stop him.
In the original work, if he hadn’t sacrificed himself, he wouldn’t have died.
The same went for Senju Tobirama.
He only died because he was forced to act as a rear guard and couldn’t run.
If he had abandoned the other Konoha ninjas, with the Flying Thunder God Technique, it would have been impossible for him to die.
"Natsuki."
Jiraiya couldn’t help but ask. "Was that a space-time ninjutsu you just used?"
Natsuki was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
Did he figure it out?
But thinking about it carefully, it was normal.
Taking out a massive number of swords all at once was unreasonable no matter how one thought about it.
The only explanation was space-time ninjutsu.
"After the battle with Reki last time, I’ve been continuously improving my secret techniques. After much thought, I finally created an alternate dimension."
Natsuki admitted. "This alternate dimension can store swords that have been projected in advance. I call it Unlimited Blade Works."
To him, this was actually a good opportunity.
It could deepen his persona as a creator-type ninja.
In the future, creating a new space-time ninjutsu based on the Flying Thunder God Technique would also be more easily accepted by them.
"Truly remarkable."
Jiraiya couldn’t help but praise.
Ninjutsu involving space and time, while possessing powerful effects, were also ridiculously difficult to create.
It sounded unbelievable that Natsuki could create a space-time ninjutsu on his own.
But considering he had created his own ninjutsu multiple times before, it wasn’t that abrupt.
"No wonder."
Namikaze Minato let out a breath upon hearing this.
Losing to another space-time ninjutsu, Unlimited Blade Works, made him feel much better.
"You are now the second ninja in Konoha who can create their own space-time ninjutsu."
A flash of reminiscence and nostalgia crossed Tsunade’s eyes.
"Well done."
Orochimaru smiled faintly and said.
"Minato, you don’t need to be discouraged either. With your current strength, there are not many ninjas in the entire ninja world who can defeat you."
Jiraiya looked at Namikaze Minato and said.
He wasn’t just comforting him. It was the truth.
With the Flying Thunder God Technique, even if he couldn’t win, he could run.
In the entire ninja world, the number of ninjas who could truly defeat Namikaze Minato wouldn’t exceed five.
"Moreover, Minato can still learn Sage Mode."
Tsunade added.
"I haven’t taken Minato to Mount Myoboku yet, so I don’t know if he has the talent to learn Sage Mode."
Jiraiya paused and said. "If he does, coupled with the Flying Thunder God Technique, his strength might even surpass Natsuki’s."
Hearing this, Namikaze Minato’s spirit was lifted, and his disappointment from losing to Natsuki lessened significantly.
After all, he still had hope of defeating him.
Sage Mode — Jiraiya had told him about it before. Its effects were terrifying, capable of comprehensively amplifying a ninja’s strength.
Natsuki narrowed his eyes slightly.
In the original work, Namikaze Minato did indeed know Sage Mode.
It was unknown exactly when he mastered it, but what was certain was that he was undoubtedly coming into contact with Sage Mode much earlier now.
This was the so-called butterfly effect.
Natsuki’s appearance had inevitably impacted the ninja world.
And there would be more in the future.
Because Namikaze Minato learned the Flying Thunder God Technique too early, he could now start learning Sage Mode.
But like Jiraiya, his Sage Mode had flaws: gathering Senjutsu chakra took too long, and the duration was limited.
Regardless, it was still Sage Mode and could concretely increase his strength.
Fortunately, Natsuki already had a path to master Sage Mode.
As long as Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato possessed Jonin-level strength, he could unlock the Jiraiya template’s Sage Mode.
"It’s over!"
Nawaki wailed. "Then in the future, not only will I not be able to beat Natsuki, but I won’t be able to beat Minato either!"
He already couldn’t defeat the Flying Thunder God Technique-wielding Namikaze Minato.
With the addition of Sage Mode, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to beat him for the rest of his life.
Hearing this, Orochimaru and Tsunade fell into thought.
But... they didn’t have any solutions for this either.
It was truly too difficult for Nawaki to defeat or catch up to Natsuki and Namikaze Minato.
A thought crossed Orochimaru’s mind, thinking of his Wood Release experiment.
If Nawaki knew Wood Release, he might have a chance to fight.
However, his analysis of the Red Healing Potion was not completely finished yet and required some more time.
[You have awakened the Bruno Template]
A line of text floated before Natsuki’s eyes.
Although there might be Brunos in other works, he was certain this Bruno was the one from One Piece.
Because he possessed the Door-Door Fruit, controlled Air Doors, and was a space-type ability user.
But Natsuki suspected that awakening the Bruno template was not only related to Namikaze Minato but also to his establishment of CP9 in the Akatsuki organization.
Because Bruno was a member of CP9 and excelled in the Rokushiki, although he later became a member of CP0.
CP0 was also an intelligence agency, but its main purpose was to protect the Celestial Dragons.
Overall, Natsuki was quite satisfied.
Not only did he gain space abilities, but it also completed his Rokushiki.
With this thought, Natsuki looked at the newly awakened character template.
[Name: Bruno]
[Era: CP9]
[World: One Piece]
[Rank: S-Rank]
[Ability 1: Rankyaku — Unlocked] [Effect: Creates a slashing wave by kicking the air at ultra-high speeds to attack the target, capable of easily slicing the target in half.]
[Ability 2: Kami-e — Locked] [Effect: Relaxes the body completely, allowing the user to easily dodge incoming attacks by sensing the air currents created by the opponent’s movements.] [Unlock Condition: Learn Water Release — Water Body Flicker Technique]
[Ability 3: Tekkai: Smash — Locked] [Effect: While in the Tekkai state, delivers a punch to the target with enough power to shatter the ground.] [Unlock Condition: Learn Cherry Blossom Impact]
[Ability 4: Tekkai: Steel — Locked] [Effect: Further strengthens defense based on Tekkai, making it the Tekkai with the strongest defensive power.] [Unlock Condition: Take the strongest attack of a Jonin head-on in three battles]
[Ability 5: Tekkai: Wheel — Locked] [Effect: While in the Tekkai state, spins at high speed and crashes into the target with enough power to shatter the ground.] [Unlock Condition: Develop any advanced Rasengan ninjutsu]
[Ability 6: Door-Door Fruit — Locked] [Effect: Can create an Air Door anywhere and in any form for infiltration, surprise attacks, transportation, and evasion.] [Unlock Condition: Have nine orphans in the Akatsuki organization’s CP9 learn one of the Rokushiki]
After reading it, Natsuki thought to himself that his guess was right.
His awakening of the Bruno template was directly related to his establishment of CP9 in the Akatsuki organization.
Ability 1, Rankyaku.
Rankyaku was one of the Rokushiki and a rare offensive taijutsu.
Its power was even greater than Shigan.
Ability 2, Kami-e.
Kami-e was also one of the Rokushiki.
It was somewhat similar to Geppo and Soru, falling under the category of Body Flicker Techniques.
But its biggest difference was the addition of anticipation.
By sensing the changes in air currents created by the opponent’s movements, one could dodge the opponent’s attacks more easily.
Its unlock condition was to learn Water Release: Water Body Flicker Technique.
This actually suited Natsuki’s intentions.
He had originally planned to learn Water Release: Water Body Flicker Technique.
Because the effect of this Water Release, originating from Hanzo, was indeed very good.
Abilities 3, 4, and 5 were all enhancements or extensions of Tekkai.
The Bruno template only mentioned three of the Rokushiki.
Rankyaku, Kami-e, and Tekkai.
In reality, he also knew Geppo, Soru, and Shigan.
But because Natsuki had already unlocked these three Rokushiki previously, the system simply omitted them.
Abilities 3, 4, and 5 made up for Tekkai’s biggest drawback: the inability to move while using it.
Tekkai: Smash and Tekkai: Wheel turned Tekkai into a taijutsu capable of both offense and defense.
And Tekkai: Steel further increased the defensive power of Tekkai.
The difficulty of the three unlock conditions was moderate.
Natsuki now had the seven nature talent brought by the Hatake Kakashi template.
Learning Cherry Blossom Impact or developing a new Rasengan was only a matter of time.
The only slightly troublesome one was taking the strongest attack of a Jonin head-on in three battles.
But there were also differences among Jonin.
If it meant taking the Fourth Raikage’s strongest attack head-on, he definitely wouldn’t dare to try.
But the strongest attack of an ordinary Jonin probably wouldn’t be able to break his multiple layers of defense.
Ability 6, Door-Door Fruit.
Although the Rokushiki were formidable, to Natsuki, it was fine to have them, and acceptable if he didn’t.
But Ability 6, the Door-Door Fruit, was an ability he could not discard, and it was the most important ability of the Bruno template.
The greatest effect of the Door-Door Fruit was the ability to open an Air Door anywhere. For example, on walls, in the air, on flames, on human bodies, or even the user could turn into an Air Door.
Once an Air Door was opened, it would lead to an alternate dimension.
Natsuki could freely enter and exit the alternate dimension through the Air Door, thereby achieving a spatial teleportation effect.
Furthermore, the user could also bring others along when using the Air Door.
Besides that, in battle, one could also dodge the opponent’s attacks by opening an Air Door.
Compared to the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Door-Door Fruit had the advantage in spatial teleportation.
Because the Flying Thunder God Technique required a Flying Thunder God mark to teleport.
Without a Flying Thunder God mark, the Flying Thunder God Technique could not be used.
The Flying Thunder God Technique had derivative ninjutsu like Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder and Flying Thunder God: Second Step.
The Door-Door Fruit could also be further developed.
Bruno’s usage of it was relatively limited.
Once Natsuki unlocked the Door-Door Fruit, he could attempt to develop new ways to use it.
The unlock condition for Ability 6 was not difficult, just rather time-consuming.
It required nine orphans in the Akatsuki organization’s CP9 to learn one of the Rokushiki.
"It’s rare for the three of us to gather together."
Jiraiya laughed loudly and said. "Natsuki, you have to cook a grand feast for us."
"Okay."
Natsuki snapped out of his thoughts and said.
Hearing this, Orochimaru and Tsunade did not refuse either.
Jiraiya, Namikaze Minato, and the others had been away for so long. They really should get together for a meal.
"I’ll go call Nonou."
Nawaki volunteered.
"Let me go."
Namikaze Minato smiled and said. "I’m faster."
Nawaki twitched the corner of his mouth and sighed.
Why couldn’t he, as a Senju, learn Wood Release or the Flying Thunder God Technique?
Namikaze Minato disappeared from his spot.
The others left the training ground.
"I’ll go cook."
Natsuki headed toward the kitchen.
"I’ll help you!"
Uzumaki Kushina immediately followed.
After walking into the kitchen, Natsuki handed her an apron.
Looking at Uzumaki Kushina, he suddenly thought of the Door-Door Fruit.
Once he unlocked the Door-Door Fruit, he could secretly take her out to play.
As long as they didn’t leave for too long, it would be fine.
"Why did you suddenly zone out?"
Uzumaki Kushina reached out her hand and waved it in front of him.
"The apron suits you."
Natsuki smiled and said. "Very cute."
"You..."
Uzumaki Kushina’s face turned red upon hearing this, and she said. "It’s just an apron."
"Then next time you can change into a cheongsam or a maid outfit."
Natsuki blinked, pushing his luck.
"You like those?"
Uzumaki Kushina tilted her head and said. "It doesn’t sound very proper."
"I was just saying it casually."
Natsuki coughed lightly and said. "You go wash the vegetables first."
Uzumaki Kushina eyed him suspiciously, then turned and went to the sink.
Time reached noon.
The food was successfully served.
"Natsuki’s cooking is still the best."
Jiraiya sighed and said. "I’ve been to so many places, but no place’s food can compare to Natsuki’s."
"So, have you found the Child of Prophecy?"
Tsunade picked up a piece of chicken, popped it into her mouth, and chewed slowly.
As the overly delicious flavor spread in her mouth, she subconsciously narrowed her eyes.
"No."
Jiraiya answered.
"If there really is a Child of Prophecy, there’s a high probability they are in the Five Great Villages. Because the Child of Prophecy, no matter what, definitely won’t have poor talent."
Orochimaru said casually. "You might as well stay in Konoha and wait for the Child of Prophecy to appear."
"I think Orochimaru makes sense."
Tsunade agreed.
"Not necessarily."
Jiraiya shook his head and said. "The Great Toad Sage’s prophecy didn’t say the Child of Prophecy would be in the Five Great Villages."
"You really are stubborn."
Orochimaru glanced at him and didn’t say anything more.
"Let’s not talk about this."
Jiraiya actively changed the subject and asked. "Natsuki, do you know about the Dawn Company?"
"It’s a company in the metropolis of the Land of Rain."
Natsuki looked up and asked. "Lord Jiraiya, are you interested in it?"
"While I was traveling outside, I heard that there’s a Dawn Company in the Land of Rain."
Jiraiya chuckled and said. "I’m very interested in the potions they sell."
The Stamina Recovery Potion had many functions.
But due to various reasons, only one effect was ultimately spread: it could restore a man’s vigor.
"Why are you smiling so pervertedly?"
Tsunade frowned and asked. "What kind of potion is it?"
"It’s... a potion for men."
Jiraiya paused and explained. "I’m just curious to see if it’s as useful as the rumors say."
"What does ’a potion for men’ mean?"
Nawaki asked, puzzled.
"Can’t women use it?"
Uzumaki Kushina also had a face full of confusion.
"Jiraiya!"
Tsunade realized what it was, immediately stood up, clenched her fists, and postured to strike.
"Wait!"
Jiraiya was scared out of his wits and hurriedly said. "Tsunade, if you punch me, I won’t be able to eat!"
"I’ll deal with you after we finish eating!"
Tsunade regained her reason and sat back down.
Nawaki and the others looked at each other, completely uncomprehending the situation.
"Jiraiya, you’ve been this unreliable since we were kids."
Orochimaru smiled and said.
Jiraiya didn’t dare to reply and could only bury his head in his food.
The minor interlude didn’t affect the dining atmosphere.
Lunch concluded in a lively atmosphere of reunion after a long separation.
Jiraiya originally wanted to chat with Natsuki about the Stamina Recovery Potion, but fearing Tsunade would hit him, he ran away immediately after eating.
Orochimaru didn’t stay long either. Since the war ended, he had become obsessed with his experiments, completely turning into a researcher.
"Natsuki."
Tsunade took off her coat and plopped down on the sofa.
Natsuki looked at her.
She crossed her legs, leaning against the sofa. Her sleeveless top was strained, forming an arc that looked precarious.
His gaze drifted to her snow-white skin.
But he quickly pulled it back.
"Don’t interact with Jiraiya unless you have to."
Tsunade reminded him.
"Okay, Tsunade-sensei."
Natsuki nodded and said.
"You guys too."
Tsunade looked at Uzumaki Kushina and Yakushi Nonou.
As for Nawaki, he had volunteered to take on the dishwashing for noon today.
"Tsunade-sensei."
Natsuki suddenly thought of something and said. "I have already created the fifth form of the Rokushiki."
"What kind of taijutsu is it?"
Tsunade leaned forward and asked curiously.
Her sleeveless top looked even more strained.
"I call it Rankyaku."
Natsuki briefly explained the effect of Rankyaku.
"The power of this is at least an A-rank taijutsu."
Tsunade praised. "If this continues, you could also be called the Professor of Ninjutsu."
"I’m still lacking compared to Lord Hokage."
Natsuki smiled and asked. "As an exchange, Tsunade-sensei, how about you teach me Cherry Blossom Impact?"
"I can also teach you Cherry Blossom Impact!"
Uzumaki Kushina hurriedly said.
Yakushi Nonou hesitated to speak, a step too slow.
"Natsuki, who do you want to teach you Cherry Blossom Impact?"
Seeing this, Tsunade couldn’t help but laugh and asked jokingly.
"It’s better if Tsunade-sensei teaches me."
Natsuki said without changing his expression. "Kushina and Nonou both have their own things to do."
