Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Heroic Spirit Emiya Template

With Suikazan Fuguki’s capture, the battle over the Uzumaki clan’s annihilation came to an end.

Without a doubt, it was a major victory for Konoha and the Uzumaki clan.

Although many were injured or killed, the results achieved made it worthwhile.

Only a fifth of the attacking Kumogakure and Kirigakure forces managed to escape.

The remaining four-fifths were either dead or captured.

The smoke cleared.

Under Tsunade’s orders, the ninjas of Konoha and the Uzumaki clan began cleaning up the battlefield.

"You and your student have taken the greatest merit this time."

Jiraiya walked up, glanced at Suikazan Fuguki, and said, "Orochimaru, you beat me to it again."

Among the ninjas from both attacking villages, in terms of strength and fame, Suikazan Fuguki ranked first.

Capturing him alive was the greatest achievement.

"I just rode on Natsuki’s coattails."

Orochimaru said casually.

"Huh?"

Because Jiraiya had been focused on his own battle and hadn’t watched Orochimaru and Natsuki’s fights, he didn’t know what had happened.

"It was mainly Teacher’s merit."

Natsuki said modestly.

"I know my own strength."

Orochimaru shook his head. "Without your intervention, Suikazan Fuguki would most likely have escaped."

"I was only able to contribute thanks to the Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique you gave me, Teacher."

Natsuki said.

"Is that the ninjutsu you just used?"

Orochimaru asked curiously. "What’s it called?"

"I call it White Snake."

Natsuki replied. "Its effect is releasing a stream of smoke to trap the target."

"Being able to temporarily immobilize Suikazan Fuguki... White Snake is at least B-Rank."

Orochimaru sighed. "To think you modified the D-Rank Hiding in Mist Technique into a B-Rank ninjutsu. Truly unbelievable."

After hearing the conversation, Jiraiya roughly grasped the situation.

Because Natsuki had trapped Suikazan Fuguki with White Snake, Orochimaru was able to capture him alive.

"No wonder Minato loses to you every time."

Jiraiya couldn’t help but complain. "How can someone create ninjutsu faster than they learn it?"

"Natsuki also killed Akebino Jinin single-handedly."

Orochimaru added.

"After this battle, the one whose fame grows fastest probably won’t be us—but Natsuki."

Jiraiya’s mouth twitched.

"I just had the advantage of self-created ninjutsu."

Natsuki explained. "Akebino Jinin didn’t know my abilities. He died to techniques he’d never seen."

"Being able to create ninjutsu is itself a manifestation of strength."

Orochimaru patted his shoulder. "Keep it up."

"Yes, Teacher."

Natsuki nodded.

"You really found a student who suits you perfectly."

Seeing this, Jiraiya laughed loudly. "It’s rare to see you value someone so much."

He knew Orochimaru’s dream was to learn all ninjutsu.

Natsuki’s talent for creating ninjutsu could be considered an extension of that dream. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"But Minato isn’t bad either."

Jiraiya said confidently. "He has the talent to learn a special ninjutsu. When the time comes, it’ll be very difficult for you to win again, Natsuki."

Natsuki knew he was referring to the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Honestly, he hoped Namikaze Minato would learn it soon.

Who knew—it might help him trigger a character template related to spatial abilities.

Natsuki’s thoughts suddenly stirred.

With such formidable combat results today, why wasn’t there a new character template?

[You have awakened the Heroic Spirit Emiya Template.]

Emiya Shirou who became a Heroic Spirit? EMIYA?

Natsuki’s spirits jolted. He quickly examined his newly acquired template.

[Name: Emiya Shirou]

[Era: Fifth Holy Grail War Archer-Class Servant]

[World: Fate/stay night]

[Rank: S-Rank]

[Ability 1: Clairvoyance — Unlocked]

[Effect: As an Archer-class Servant, can accurately lock onto targets within several kilometers, achieving ultra-long-range strikes.]

[Ability 2: Independent Action — Locked]

[Effect: Will not die immediately upon chakra depletion; can burst forth with a certain amount of chakra.]

[Unlock Condition: Using a bow as a ninja tool, obtain first place in the practical combat of a final exam.]

[Ability 3: Projection Magecraft — Locked]

[Effect: By consuming a corresponding amount of chakra, projected ninja tools can be infinitely close to the originals.]

[Unlock Condition: Project seven famous ninja tools.]

[Ability 4: Broken Phantasm — Locked]

[Effect: Use a projected ninja tool as a one-time bomb, detonating all the energy contained within it.]

[Unlock Condition: Break a famous ninja tool in combat.]

[Ability 5: Unlimited Blade Works — Locked]

[Effect: Materialize the inner world to erode reality, deploying a Reality Marble or special space. Any weapon the user has seen and can recognize can be instantly copied, stored, and modified within the Reality Marble.]

[Unlock Condition: Prevent a war.]

Natsuki subconsciously clenched his fists.

It’s here!

The Unlimited Blade Works he had been longing for.

Natsuki had previously obtained the Emiya Shirou template—but that was the high school freshman version, who didn’t possess Unlimited Blade Works.

Now that he had obtained the EMIYA template, he finally had it.

Placed in the Naruto world, Unlimited Blade Works was undoubtedly S-Rank. Its effects were no worse than the dojutsu of a Mangekyo Sharingan.

Of course, the unlock condition was equally extraordinary—requiring him to prevent a war.

However, this fit EMIYA’s persona.

He was an Ally of Justice and a Counter Guardian, preventing the world’s destruction both in life and death.

Looking at it this way, he had unlocked the EMIYA template not only because of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen—but also because he had prevented the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools.

Preventing a war had two meanings.

One was stopping a war before it happened.

The other was stopping an ongoing war.

Natsuki fell into thought.

It seemed he would have to unlock Unlimited Blade Works during the Second Shinobi World War.

Besides Unlimited Blade Works, the other four abilities were also excellent.

Ability 1: Clairvoyance.

Its effect was equivalent to the Byakugan without x-ray vision—a highly useful sensory ability.

In combat, it could also maximize the utility of a bow.

Ability 2: Independent Action.

Although not normally used, when facing enemies of equal or slightly greater strength, it could reverse the tide of battle.

Its unlock condition wasn’t too difficult either.

The only restriction was using a bow.

Ability 3: Projection Magecraft.

Natsuki had obtained Projection Magecraft before—but the projected ninja tools were inferior to the originals and had time limits.

This version was an all-around upgrade. The projected tools would be virtually indistinguishable from the originals.

The unlock condition was relatively troublesome, though—requiring the projection of seven famous ninja tools.

Fortunately, it specified ninja tools, not just swords. The scope was quite broad.

Ability 4: Broken Phantasm.

An ability that worked in tandem with Projection Magecraft.

Its power depended on the projected ninja tool—or rather, the chakra contained within it.

Its unlock condition was somewhat delicate.

Famous ninja tools were usually very sturdy and hard to break—though not impossible.

In the original story, Hatake Sakumo’s White Light Chakra Sabre had been broken. The Sword of the Thunder God had been broken as well.

Natsuki suddenly thought of a question.

Why were there no abilities like Kanshou and Bakuya, Caladbolg II, or Rho Aias?

Thinking about it, it made sense.

The Noble Phantasms and weapons EMIYA possessed were all projected—not the real things.

Natsuki examined the EMIYA template again and noticed something.

Projection Magecraft’s effect specified projecting ninja tools. But Unlimited Blade Works’ effect changed to projecting weapons.

Did this mean he could project Kanshou, Bakuya, and the others within Unlimited Blade Works?

But there was also a question: how exactly was "weapons the user has seen and can recognize" interpreted?

Did he have to see the actual object with his own eyes? Or was that unnecessary?

If unnecessary, could he project weapons from works he had seen in his previous life?

The specifics would only be known once he unlocked Unlimited Blade Works.
