Naruto: The Template System

Chapter 41: Fight

"One Sword Flow! Tornado!!"

Kozuki smiled facing the shadow clones, and rotated the body quickly, and numerous small red slashes flew everywhere.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With three muffled sounds, the three shadow clones burst into a cloud of smoke at the moment they were cut by Kozuki.

Even the real body was injured heavily by Kozuki.

Kozuki didn't give the enemy a chance to breathe, and strengthened the leg muscles, quickly appeared in front of Cloud Shinobi, and launched a fierce attack on him.

"One Sword Style! Ghost Slash!"

The Cloud Shinobi who wanted to move away suddenly couldn't even move a finger as Kozuki chopped down at the stunned enemy from top to bottom.

This is one of the moves that Kozuki developed especially for close combat as he used his Haoshoku Haki to deter the enemy like he has seen a ghost.

puff...

The sound of the long knife splitting the flesh spread as blood splashed on the ground and the enemy fell down his eyes dull.

The poor Cloud Elite Jonin, as the core combat power in the village, died on the road to transporting supplies.

Kozuki glanced at the situation on the side and found that Uchiha Fugaku was still fighting with the A, but he had numerous wounds all over his body as he was panting already.

One of the Uchiha lay on the ground but beside him was the head of Cloud Shinobi obviously killed by him but he also passed out due to his wounds.

But the other Uchiha was completely passive. Facing the elite of Cloud, Uchiha could hardly resist.

Several wounds had been cut out by Cloud Shinobi's knife. The deepest wound was on the back; you could faintly see the dense bones inside.

At the same time, his movements have been significantly slowing down!

Obviously, if you don't help him quickly, this Uchiha may not last long.

At this time, Cloud Shinobi was slowly waiting, that Uchiha in front of him leaked flaws, so that he could directly kill him. He hadn't noticed that his two comrades have died also.

Finally, he saw the flaw, as he appeared behind the Uchiha his sword stabbing him from the back.

Puff...

At the moment when he was about to hit, Cloud Shinobi suddenly stopped as a sword came out from his heart as Kozuki stood behind.

The Cloud Ninja fell down unwillingly as Kozuki moved forward to check the Uchiha's situation but saw he had passed out due to excessive blood loss.

On the other hand, Fugaku was nearing his end with dense wounds all over as he looked at A who stood in front of him totally fine.

"Is this the Uchiha Clan, pathetic, it's time to finish you"

A who was expecting a tough fight never expected Fugaku to be so weak, he didn't even use his Lighting Chakra Mode to defeat him.

Fugaku felt utter humiliation but he couldn't deny his words as he really couldn't do much against him.

He was already thinking of retreating as he didn't want to die, he had a child back home along with a beautiful wife, and he was already decided the Next Patriarch, so he didn't want to die before enjoying that life.

Fugaku who was in his thoughts suddenly noticed that A was not in front of him as he felt pain from his stomach as A was right beside him with a punch straight at his stomach.

Boom!

Fugaku flew away as he hit a rock far away before falling down as he lay motionless on the ground his life and death unknown.

A didn't care much about Fugaku's condition as he looked around for his comrades but only found their corpses.

"So it's only you and me"

Kozuki arrived in front of A looking at him who looked a lot younger then the one in his memory.

"I'll make Konoha pay for every life they took starting from you"

A was angry looking at the corpses of his comrades and decided to kill Kozuki to ease his anger.

A put force on his feet destroying the ground underneath as he disappeared his fist inches away from Kozuki's face.

"Quite Fast"

Kozuki completely covered the area around with his Observation Haki as he couldn't be careless against a speed type Ninja like A.

Predicting his movements, Kozuki titled his head to the side evading his fist as he punched at his back but only to hit nothing.

A disappeared again appearing behind him again but Kozuki wasn't panicked also as with his Observation he could clearly see his movements.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Explosive sounds rang throughout the whole area as Kozuki and A strikes collided destroying everything in it's way.

"Who are you Kid you are better then that trash Uchiha"

A attacked Kozuki while asking his name and Kozuki dodged countering back as he answered

"Kozuki Shiro"

Kozuki had a smile on his face as he was enjoying this exciting fight.

A took few steps back as he looked at Kozuki and said

"I have read your report, you didn't use your sword, do you look down on me"

A was a bit furious since someone fought him but didn't use his full strength.

"You are famous for your lightning Chakra Mode but I don't know if it's really that scary"

Kozuki taunted back as he was really looking forward to it.

"Don't regret it later..."

A clenched his fists as blue lightning Chakra coat surrounded him completely like a god of thunder.

Kozuki also put his hand on the sword ready for the attack.

Boom!

A, fist stuck Kozuki's sword which was right in front of his face blocking his attack.

"What..."

This was the first time since someone blocked his attack as even his father was far less then him in terms of speed.

Pushing back A, Kozuki slashed his sword quickly towards him as A flashed disappearing from his sight as the slash destroyed the area where he just stood.

Boom!!!

Kozuki for the first time felt how difficult it is to deal with Speed Type Ninja, even if he could predict his move and defend but his speed wasn't as quick as A who would evade his slash every time.

"What terrible insight and Swordsmanship"

A looked at the destroyed terrain around with long slash marks everywhere and couldn't but be a little scared.

This is the first time his speed that he was so proud of failed as he couldn't hit the opponent for even once.

"I need to end this quickly"

Kozuki knew that the main camp of Cloud was near and they might have already noticed due to huge noise caused by there fight.

"Is your Chakra Lightning Mode is only to this level, looks like I was expecting a bit too much"

Kozuki provoked A as he knew this muscle head guy would take the bait for sure.

"Damn! how dare you look down on me'

Sure enough, A immediately got angry at his words as he quickly appeared in front of Kozuki his fist moving towards his face.

Kozuki didn't dodge this time as his hands were covered by a dark red matter..

Boom...

Contrary to A's expectation, his fist struck this time but he felt pain from his hand like he struck something even harder then steel.

"What is that..."

A saw the dark red matter covering Kozuki's hand and he felt his fist totally immovable.

"I win"

Kozuki brought his right hand forward which was also covered with the same red matter.

A wanted to take his fist back but it was like held by Iron pillars as during his struggle Kozuki's fist fell on his chest.

A felt the pain of his broken bone as he coughed up blood and flew away hitting a boulder far away before falling down.

Cough Cough

A felt pain all over his body as his body couldn't even move an inch as he coughed up blood feeling weak.

"I actually lost..."

A looked at the clear blue sky above as he lay on the ground and his consciousness soon began to waver as he passed out.

Kozuki moved forward to kill A but he sensed numerous aura approaching towards this direction.

Helpless he let him go and Kozuki quickly picked up the resource scrolls, the head bands of killed Cloud Ninja and the injured Uchiha's and left the battlefield immediately.
