Megumi Fushiguro Template

"The winner is Natsuki!"

Ishida Yu said with great excitement.

After this battle, Natsuki's reputation would surely skyrocket.

As his teacher, he would also be able to bask in the reflected glory, perhaps even earning a promotion and a raise to reach the pinnacle of his life.

"I accept your concession."

Natsuki sheathed his wooden sword and stepped off the arena.

"That performance just now was so cool!"

Uzumaki Kushina greeted him, her face full of smiles.

Namikaze Minato opened his mouth, feeling a sense of subtlety.

What was going on?

Back when Natsuki was with Yakushi Nonō, he had felt like a third wheel.

Why was it that now that it was Uzumaki Kushina, he still felt like a third wheel?

Was there something wrong somewhere?

"It's your turn next, good luck."

Natsuki said with a smile.

He and Namikaze Minato had both already fought, leaving only Uzumaki Kushina who had yet to take the stage.

"Don't worry, I can knock them all down with a single punch!"

Uzumaki Kushina said with full confidence.

This statement was indeed true.

Aside from Sealing Jutsu, her taijutsu was not bad either.

In the original story, the reason she earned the title of Bloody Habanero was because she single-handedly beat up all the boys who mocked her.

Being able to fight multiple opponents at once, her taijutsu was definitely among the best of her peers.

[You have awakened the Megumi Fushiguro template.]

Natsuki, who had just been about to speak, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Is this a character template from Jujutsu Kaisen?

What triggered it?

The exchange event? The one-versus-three? The Shadow Secret Technique of the Nara Clan?

Natsuki suppressed the thoughts in his mind and hurriedly looked at the newly acquired Megumi Fushiguro template.

[Name: Megumi Fushiguro.]

[Period: Kyoto Sister School Exchange Event.]

[World: Jujutsu Kaisen.]

[Rank: Grade B.]

[Ability 1: Shadow Space, unlocked.]

[Effect: Can store ninja tools and other items within one's own shadow, though the weight is borne by the user.]

[Ability 2: Shadow Assassin, locked.]

[Effect: Hide oneself within shadows for the purpose of sneak attacks.]

[Unlock Condition: Defeat stronger opponents by winning; assassinate nine Chunin and one Special Jonin using non-frontal combat methods.]

[Ability 3: Ten Shadows Technique, locked.]

[Effect: Use hand shadows to summon corresponding Summoning Beasts, which receive certain stat bonuses.]

[Unlock Condition: Subjugate ten different Summoning Beasts.]

After reading it, Natsuki had only one thought: this Megumi Fushiguro really seemed like a ninja from the Nara Clan.

In fact, in Jujutsu Kaisen, his family was indeed very similar to the Nara Clan, both being highly skilled in the use of shadows.

Natsuki subconsciously glanced at Nara Shikaku.

He was able to awaken the Megumi Fushiguro template, most likely because he had defeated Nara Shikaku.

I have to say, the reasons this system triggers character templates are truly bizarre.

While watching the sparring on the field, Natsuki began to study his newly acquired Megumi Fushiguro template.

Ability 1, while not directly increasing his strength, was very practical.

As a ninja, one would always carry a pouch containing ninja tools and other items.

But the pouch was only so big, could not hold many things, and was also very conspicuous.

Storing them in the shadow was different; it was completely unexpected.

Theoretically, as long as Natsuki can afford the cost, his Shadow Space has no upper limit.

The second ability is just as practical, especially since its compatibility with ninjas is maxed out.

In reality, the vast majority of ninjas do not fight head-on like Uzumaki Naruto; they are more inclined toward covert assassinations.

Shadow Assassin, which allows one to hide within their own shadow, can achieve a highly unexpected effect.

Although the described effect is for sneak attacks, from another perspective, it can also be used to evade attacks.

Unless the enemy attacks the shadow itself.

The only problem is that the unlocking condition is extremely difficult.

Natsuki is currently a student at the Ninja Academy, so it is hard for him to encounter so many hostile ninjas.

Even if he could, given his current strength, killing a Special Jonin is not such a simple matter.

If it were just a Chunin, he would be confident.

Fortunately, the requirement is assassination, so he can employ other means.

Natsuki rubbed his chin.

He can only ask Orochimaru for help with this matter.

According to the regulations of Konoha, students at the Ninja Academy are not allowed to take missions; in fact, even Genin cannot take missions alone.

The third ability is the Ten Shadows Technique.

The Ten Shadows Technique is one of the inherited techniques of the Zenin Clan, one of the three great families in the jujutsu world from Jujutsu Kaisen.

Its power goes without saying, but it is clear that the Ten Shadows Technique he obtained has been localized by the system.

However, this is normal; the ninja world has no Shikigami, only Summoning Beasts.

Its unlocking condition is to subdue ten types of Summoning Beasts.

This condition is not really a condition, because without ten types of Summoning Beasts, the Ten Shadows Technique cannot be used anyway.

When mentioning Summoning Beasts in the ninja world, many people think of the Toads of Mount Myoboku, the Slugs of Shikkotsu Forest, and the Snakes of Ryūchi Cave.

These three places are also known as the Three Great Sage Regions of Summoning Beasts.

The strength of their Summoning Beasts is so great that they can even trade blows with a Tailed Beast.

But apart from the three great Summoning Beast regions, the role of other Summoning Beasts is basically limited to support, as their combat capabilities are not strong.

The bad news is that the Three Great Sage Regions have very high requirements for contractors, and there are only three in the entire ninja world.

The good news is that these three contractors are Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade.

It is impossible to collect ten types of Summoning Beasts all at once; it can only be done slowly.

What Natsuki wants most are the Summoning Beasts from the Three Great Sage Regions.

But there are only three of those, so he still needs to choose the remaining seven.

Moreover, they do not necessarily all need to have strong combat capabilities; support-type Summoning Beasts are equally excellent.

However, what Natsuki is most curious about is the bonus the Ten Shadows Technique provides to Summoning Beasts.

This will undoubtedly allow his Summoning Beasts to gain an advantage in battle.

In this current era, the outcome between Summoning Beasts is still very important.

For example, in the upcoming Second Ninja World War, there will be a battle of Summoning Beasts.

The Summoning Beasts of Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade will fight against the Summoning Beast of Hanzo of Amegakure.

They will also earn the title of the Legendary Sannin because of this.

Natsuki thought for a moment.

The three types of Summoning Beasts he can obtain most easily right now are Crows, Ninja Cats, and Ninja Dogs.

These three types of Summoning Beasts have a high appearance rate in the original work.

Crows and Ninja Cats are commonly seen with the Uchiha, but they are not exclusive to the Uchiha.

For example, Yamashiro Aoba, his Summoning Beast is a Crow.

As for Ninja Dogs, Hatake Kakashi uses them the most.

He possesses eight Ninja Dogs.

There are two ways to obtain Summoning Beasts: one is to find a Summoning Beast clan, and the other is to find wild Summoning Beasts.

But wild Summoning Beasts are very rare.

After all, Summoning Beasts can speak, possess intelligence, and know how to avoid danger.

"How did I do just now?"

Uzumaki Kushina's cute face suddenly appeared.

"Very impressive."

Natsuki immediately praised her, "You knocked down your opponent with three punches; you're stronger than many people."

Uzumaki Kushina nodded in satisfaction immediately.

Soon, the exchange meeting between the two classes came to an end.

After school, Natsuki headed toward Orochimaru's residence.
