Marvel: Randomly Load a Protagonist Template - Chapter 81

Hearing Naruto’s confirmation, Yamato almost lost his balance and sat down hard on the ground:
“How could this be? Could there be a problem with the seal that let the Nine-Tails escape?

But that’s not right; if the Tailed Beast leaves its Jinchuriki, the Jinchuriki will die.

Naruto, do you feel any discomfort in your body?”

“No, I feel great, better than I ever have.”

Naruto jumped on the spot, feeling much lighter without fending off the invasion of the Nine-Tails’ chakra.

“Wood Release: Four-Pillar House!”

Yamato formed seals and quickly constructed a wooden house out of thin air.

“Let’s stop travelling for now, Sakura; give Naruto a thorough check-up!”

As Tsunade’s direct disciple and currently the best medical ninja in Konoha next to Tsunade, Sakura might discover something.

“Yes, captain.”

Sakura quickly nodded and dragged Naruto into the house.

An hour later, after checking Naruto from top to bottom, inside and out, Sakura shook her head at Yamato.

She hadn’t found any abnormalities.

“Let’s return to the village and report to the Hokage!”

Seeing this, Yamato sighed.

With no clues about the current situation, the only option was to return to the village to see if Tsunade had any solutions or to use better equipment for a more detailed examination.

Meanwhile, Naruto, still basking in the bliss of having been thoroughly checked by Sakura, suddenly stiffened and turned to Yamato:

“Captain Yamato, I feel like the Nine-Tails is back.”

“????”

Yamato looked confused.

At that moment, Naruto suddenly “poofed” into smoke and disappeared,
“Naruto!”

Sakura was shocked, but Yamato, having seen much, reassured her:
“Don’t panic, and it’s Reverse Summoning Jutsu; the toads of Mount Myoboku must have reverse-summoned Naruto.”

“What is this place?”

At Mount Myoboku, Naruto, looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings, was also a bit stunned.

Then, an orange toad descended from the sky and landed next to Naruto:

“Naruto, it’s me. I used Reverse Summoning Jutsu to summon you here, and this is Mount Myoboku.”

“Gamakichi!”

Naruto immediately recognized the orange toad as his summoning creature, Gamakichi.

“Why did you bring me here? I must hurry back to the village to report on the mission.”

“Jiraiya and the others have been looking for you. Jiraiya was also reverse summoned here; they are all waiting for you at the temple entrance.”

Gamakichi replied.

It turns out that after Gamakichi returned, he immediately informed Jiraiya and the others of his meeting with Hawking. Although the leaders of Mount Myoboku found it hard to believe, they reverse-summoned Jiraiya to check the summoning scrolls.

To their surprise, Hawking’s name appeared on the scroll.

But this name was only sometimes there; about an hour later, it mysteriously disappeared.

So, they immediately had Gamakichi reverse summon Naruto.

“The Pervy Sage is also here?”

Upon hearing about his master, Naruto immediately headed with Gamakichi toward the temple.

When they reached the temple entrance, he also saw Jiraiya.
“Naruto, did anything unusual happen with the Nine-Tails inside you just now?”

When Jiraiya met him, he immediately asked about the Nine-Tails, and Naruto honestly replied:
“Pervy Sage, how did you know? The Nine-Tails disappeared inside me for an hour, but now it’s back.”

“Something like that happened.”

Jiraiya was stunned by the news, wondering if another world existed.
“I think it’s better to ask the Great Toad Sage about this.”

“The Great Toad Sage is probably asleep again, and you guys wait here. We’ll go wake him up.”

Shikaku and Shibuki went ahead into the temple of the Great Toad Sage.

Half an hour later, the awakened Great Toad Sage, after being briefed on the situation, slowly spoke:

“Beyond this world, indeed, many other worlds exist. I’m still determining why this happened and have not seen any new prophecies.

But since he has already signed a contract, even if it’s only for an hour each day, as long as he bears us no ill will, we of the Toad clan are also willing to honor the contract’s content.”

“Wow, this is not something ordinary people can handle!”

Late at night, returning to his room at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, Hawking released the multiple Shadow Clones he had used during the day after bathing and preparing to sleep.

Instantly, the memories from the training of a dozen Shadow Clones surged into his brain, nearly causing him severe pain.

The physical exhaustion wasn’t much for someone with Saiyan blood, but the mental impact was highly distressing.

After recovering, he couldn’t help but internally marvel that Naruto was extraordinary; he had only used a dozen Shadow Clones for training support, while Naruto often used several hundred.

One must have strong willpower and thick-skinned nerves to withstand the impact of hundreds of Shadow Clones.

But on reflection, it wasn’t surprising,
After all, Naruto’s childhood experiences and determination to become stronger to protect his companions were something he, born in modern society, could not compare to.

He had an unfortunate childhood, but even that was nothing compared to the likes of Naruto.

He couldn’t possibly have Goku’s devotion to martial arts.

“Sleep, sleep.”

Taking advantage of the fatigue brought by the Shadow Clones, Hawking fell asleep instantly.

He slept until the next afternoon before waking up.

After eating a hearty meal in the cafeteria, he used the Flying Technique to return to the remote forest from the previous day and loaded the Naruto template.

“Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu!”

Biting his finger and quickly forming seals, he pressed his hand to the ground, and the massive body of Gamabunta appeared beneath him once again.

“Yo, Big Toad, nice to see you again!”

Flying up to Gamabunta, Hawking greeted him warmly.

And Gamabunta, without wasting words, exhaled a smoke ring:

“Kid, you’re Hawking, right? I told our Mount Myoboku elders about your situation yesterday, and they want to meet you today. Would you like to come with me to Mount Myoboku?”

“Of course, I also want to figure out what’s happening.”

Hawking pondered for a moment, then nodded his head.

Since time synchronizes, there’s a good chance that this Mount Myoboku is from the Naruto world, not some Mount Myoboku created out of thin air because of the protagonist’s template.

Otherwise, Mount Myoboku should also disappear after loading his protagonist template ends.

But it’s hard to say if he wants to learn sage techniques and validate some of his speculations; he would have to visit Mount Myoboku sooner or later.

“Alright, then, kid, just wait a moment.”

Seeing Hawking agree, Gamabunta was about to dismiss the summoning jutsu to return to Mount Myoboku and perform Reverse Summoning Jutsu, but Hawking raised his hand to stop him.
