Naruto: The Template System

Chapter 25: Meeting

Konoha.

Hokage Office.

A meeting was being held in the office as Sarutobi sat at the Hokage seat with a smoke pipe in his mouth and on the sofa at left sat two of the Konoha Elders.

Mitokado Homura and Koharu Utatane.

On the right, was Konoha Pot King Danzo with the usual constipated expression. (Pot King meaning you can blame him for any event without even thinking)

All the famous names of Konoha like Tsunade, Orochimaru, White Fang everyone was in the room, the atmosphere being heavy.

"You can start Shikaku" said Sarutobi breathing a smoke as the young man in front with beard on his chin and lazy eyes spoke.

"Lord 3rd after the investigation by the Anbu and me personally checking the area, I can say it with full responsibility that the destruction in the forest was caused by a sword user" said Shikaku reporting the situation.

"As far as I know there's no one in Ninja World capable of causing such strong attacks with just a sword" Danzo beside chipped in expressing his thoughts.

"Yes, Lord Danzo it might be a person we don't know or a knew powerhouse" told Nara Shikaku.

"But this is not the real problem..."

Shikaku paused for a while as his expression was a bit heavy.

Everyone's face changed seeing the serious expression on his face knowing the matter may not be that simple.

"Continue Shikaku" said Sarutobi as his breathing was a little uneven preparing himself for the bad news.

"The real problem is not the destruction caused by the attack as with few strong Jutsu anyone can cause that damage" said Shikaku as he kept on saying.

"After our investigation, we didn't find any trace of the Chakra usage in the attack, in simple words it was a just a simple Sword Slash that caused that devastation"

Shikaku finished his words as there was a pin drop silence in the office for a moment followed by a loud rebuttal by Danzo.

"Impossible, it's total Nonsense, without Chakra a person can hardly even break a rock let alone cause that damage"

Danzo stood up from his sight as he refused to believe in Shikaku's words.

"Calm down Danzo" said Sarutobi to Danzo who sat down angrily.

"Are you sure what you said is true Shikaku?" asked Sarutobi looking at Shikaku as his words totally changed the power concept of Ninja World.

"I'm afraid that is the truth Lord 3rd" answered Shikaku.

"What do you think" asked Sarutobi after being silent for a while looking at his students.

"Theoretically, there is a way to cause that much destruction without using Chakra" Orochimaru who stood beside Tsunade replied sharing his thoughts.

"What is it" asked Sarutobi a bit impatient as everyone's eyes in the room were on Orochimaru.

"If someone has a very strong body then he would have enough power to cause that much damage just by a slash" said Orochimaru expressing his thoughts.

If someone would have told Orochimaru that such destruction could be caused without Chakra before the Chunin Exam, he wouldn't mind having another experimental body.

But today after seeing the fight of Kozuki, he believed that some thoughts he had were wrong.

Orochimaru had a guess that this was caused by Kozuki but he didn't tell anyone since he didn't want the body he chooses to be favoured by Sarutobi or taken away by Danzo.

"Yes, it is possible that way" Tsunade who had fair amount of Knowledge on human body nodded approving the hypothesis.

"What about those survivors did you ask them?" asked Sarutobi after listening to their opinion looking at Shikaku.

"Lord 3rd, the two girls have woken up, we did ask them but they told us they can't remember who attacked them but I had a feeling they were lying" told Shikaku.

"What about the third one" asked Sarutobi puffing a cloud of smoke.

"He's out of danger but is still in coma" told Shikaku.

"Sarutobi, let the root interrogate them, I'll get the truth from them" Danzo beside presented his aid in helping in this matter.

"No they are our guests we can't force them if they don't want to say it especially now when War may start at anytime"

Sarutobi like always ruthlessly rejected Danzo making him angry but Danzo was also helpless and could only bear it.

"This matter will be classified as a top secret no one is allowed to disclose it" warned Sarutobi as he disbanded the meeting and everyone left the office leaving him and a medical ninja.

"How's Asuma" asked Sarutobi looking at the Medical Ninja as no matter how ruthless he was he still had care for his family.

"He's woken up but is depressed not talking to anyone at all" told the Ninja of his situation to Sarutobi.

"Good work you can leave" said Sarutobi as the Ninja left leaving him alone in the office.

"I hope you can grow after this setback" thought Sarutobi as he had full confidence in Asuma.

"Now what should I do with you Kozuki Shiro..." thought Sarutobi.

Sarutobi always had the feeling that everything was under his control but whenever he look's at that Kid he has a feeling of his secrets being seen through by the other side.

He has met many kind of people in his life but the feeling that Kozuki gave him was just like an aloof King, mysterious.

In the end, Sarutobi once again gave the order to the Anbu to monitor Kozuki secretly, not knowing that everything he did secretary was like an open book in the eyes of Kozuki.
