Naruto: The Template System

Chapter 126: Confused

Konoha.

Every fight occurring in Konoha stopped as the whole village was looking at the roof of the fighting square.

"That day, he was just playing with us."

Terumi Mei looked at the momentum of Kozuki and knew immediately that day he was just toying with them.

Now she knows why he did not kill everyone that day; to him, they were so weak that even killing them would tarnish his honor.

"I need to take this outside the village."

Looking at the already devastated village, Kozuki decided not to fight here. Otherwise, the whole village will be gone completely.

Whoosh...

Boom

In the unbelievable eyes of Minato and rest, Kozuki disappeared from his place and arrived immediately in front of the stunned Hashirama, who didn't expect him to attack, and the punch fell on his chest.

Bang

Hashirama shot out towards the village's back where mountains once existed but were leveled by Kozuki.

"What?"

Minato and the rest were surprised by Kozuki suddenly attacking the first Hokage.

They were ready for a tough fight against Shanks, but they never expected him to attack his ally.

"Hehe, you really betrayed Akatsuki, Shanks."

Orochimaru laughed, looking at Kozuki, who stood where Hashirama stood before.

"Orochimaru, the biggest mistake you made in your life is attacking Konoha"

Kozuki was angry as his Plan to kill Nagato and Fukashi was disrupted by the sudden appearance of Orochimaru.

Also, unlike the original, he managed to perfect the Reanimation Jutsu a lot earlier, making him even angrier.

Not waiting for the reply of Orochimaru, Kozuki disappeared as he rushed towards the back of the village, ready to deal with Hashirama.

"Huh?"

Whether it was Orochimaru, Minato, Tsunade, Jiraya, and the rest, they were confused about why Shanks got so angry over Orochimaru for attacking Konoha.

But Orochimaru didn't think much as he ordered the remaining Reanimated Shinobi to attack the Kage.

Minato and others weren't allowed to think much about why Shanks is helping them and were attacked.

Minato was attacked by Second Hokage, Jiraya fought with Orochimaru, Tsunade was fighting against the second Mizukage.

A picked his father as an opponent, Onoki against the second Tsuchikage and Terumi and Rasa against the Third Kazekage.

The long forest outside Konoha.

"Roar..."

"Almighty Push"

It was a devastating sight as broken trees and deep potholes were everywhere in the fighting site.

A Huge repulsive force shot out from the palm of Tendo Pain as the red monster with 6 tails on its back and body covered with white skeleton flew due to the force.

"Nine Tails is stronger than I thought."

Besides the Tendo pain, 5 broken puppets were lying as they all were destroyed by Kushina in the rampage.

At some distance, another fight was taking place,

A giant monster that looked like Tanuki with a tail on its back was beaten down by a black humanoid skeleton.

On the head of Shukaku was Gaara, whose eyes were closed.

Boom...

Fukashi controlling the Susanoo, punched Shukaku under his feet as the power of the punch woke the sleeping Gaara.

The colossal monster began to disintegrate, and soon it disappeared, ultimately revealing the weak Gaara on the ground.

"Gaara"

Temari and Kankuro, who watched the fight from the far, exclaimed loudly after being defeated.

They couldn't believe that a monster like Gaara was defeated even after going on a rampage.

"The capture of 1 Tail completed."

The Susanoo of Fukashi faded as he arrived in front of the weak Gaara.

A White Zetsu drilled out as Fukashi handed Gaara to him, who disappeared after taking Gaara.

"As expected of the Nine-Tails."

Looking at the Nine Tail, which even Pain was having a hard time dealing with, Fukashi had to admit that its position as the most robust tail beast was deserved.

Even he didn't have the confidence to deal with Nine Tails alone, even if he has the First Hokage cells, he still can't use the perfect Susanoo.

Ultimately, he doesn't have Eternal Mangekyo, so his eye power isn't enough, so he can only use it till the Third stage. (The level of Itachi).

Fukashi quickly rushed towards the Nine-Tails to help Nagato.

Temari and Kankuro wanted to go forward and save Gaara, but they knew their strength wasn't enough, and they couldn't do much.

They are already quite lucky that Fukashi didn't care much about them and let them go.

At the back of Konoha Village,

"That was quite a punch."

Hashirama stood up from the pit and rubbed his chest as he felt that punch. (Haki)

"Whoosh"

A shadow flashed, and a figure appeared at some distance from Hashirama.

"I never thought after Madara and me, there could be a strong person like you."

Hashirama said while looking at Kozuki as he was a bit emotional.

"I don't have time to hear your praise; let's get over with it."

Kozuki removed his cloak and put on a fighting stance.

Hashirama also brought his hand forward as both Kozuki and Hashirama looked at each other.

The first drop of rain fell from the dark clouds above, and finally, it landed between them both.

Whoosh...

They both disappeared from their place, rushing towards each other as an epic fight at the back of Konoha began.

( Don't curse me, I had already said before that in this arc you will attain the cultivation base of "Cliff Emperor Realm")
