Naruto: The Template System

Chapter 51: Seven Ninja Swordsmen

Jiraya's Camp.

"Kozuki you have been ordered to return to Konoha"

Jiraya who was in a good mood from the last win suddenly received an order from the messenger of Konoha.

Jiraya was really angry, they have just started to pressurize the stone and it was all because of Kozuki.

But now his teacher called Kozuki back, Jiraya couldn't understand why his teacher did so but he also couldn't refuse the order of Hokage and told Kozuki about the matter.

Kozuki had a headache now because of Sarutobi, his political means are just too annoying, he really didn't care for credit but Sarutobi didn't understand this.

"I'll leave tomorrow"

Kozuki didn't want to follow the order of Sarutobi but doing that would make him a rogue.

After leaving the Camp, Kozuki went to meet Kakashi, Obito and Minato and informing them of his departure.

Early in the morning next day, Kozuki left the base as he was on his way to Konoha.

______________

Konoha Village

Hokage Office.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was annoyed by the secret letter on the table.

This letter was written to him by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire last night.

After a night of emergency escort, it was finally delivered to him ten minutes ago.

Sarutobi frowned, wondering how do deal with this situation.

The surprise attack by Mist village left them completely unprepared.

Now there is only his old partner at the border, Shimura Danzo, and his hundreds root members, there is no way to stop Mist invasion.

But for a while, he couldn't produce enough combat power, that he could send it over.

If there are only Chunin, Konoha can still come up with two or three thousand ninjas, but Konoha doesn't have much Jonin left in the village.

The Mizukage, the Kaguya Clan, Seven Ninja Swordsman and there many other elites in the Mist village.

But then thinking of the upcoming Kozuki, the headache of Sarutobi eased a bit.

Not only can Kozuki help him deal with the mist, but also his old friend Danzo can also keep an eye on him.

Sarutobi leaned back on the chair looking at the clear cloudy sky waiting eagerly for his return.

_____________

At this time, Kozuki was shuttling through the dense forest leaping from tree to tree marching towards Konoha.

It's been 2 days since he left the base and is already quite near the Konoha Village.

"Huh"

Kozuki suddenly stopped as he saw a small town in front but this was not the reason for him to stop suddenly as he actually smelled blood.

As soon as he stepped in the town he saw a cruel sight, there were corpses everywhere in front of him.

He couldn't sense animals around as well.

Animals are most sensitive to dangerous breaths, and they must have felt some danger, so they all fled.

Kozuki stepped forward to examine several corpses carefully, and found that most of them were beheaded by sharp weapons, and some of the corpses were mutilated.

They looked like they were killed by explosive tags, It seems that they were all killed by ninjas.

And the corpses were still warm, looking at the condition of the corpses, it was obvious that the murderers had just left.

This is already the core area of the land of fire, and it is very close to the village.

In the core area, ninjas from other villages appeared, especially during the war, it wasn't a good sign.

Kozuki released his Observation Haki as it kept spreading around covering everything in it's way.

"Found them"

Kozuki found seven quite strong Aura at some distance from this place and he immediately moved towards them as he decided to teach them a lesson.

At some distance from the massacred town, seven strangely-shaped people were gathered here.

"Hehe, Yagura is really arrogant! Let us attack Konoha's two transportation lines directly."

Juzo, who holds the Executioner Knife in his hand, sneered.

"Yagura is Mizukage after all! Let us disrupt Konoha's supply line so that Konoha can't transport the supplies to Orochimaru and Jiraya"

"Then launching the war, and defeating Konoha in one fell swoop, it is estimated that the troops might already be near the border"

At this time, Fuguki, who had Samahada behind his back spoke.

At this moment, Ringo, the most sensitive to the surroundings, suddenly motioned for them to be silent

"Someone is coming towards us"

The seven people were sitting here just now, immediately got up and held their swords looking towards the direction of the visitor.

After a few seconds, they saw a Kid wearing a black samurai robe with his chest visible underneath with a sword slung at his waist appeared in front of them.

"Oh it turned to be the famous Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist"

Kozuki who arrived immediately recognized the enemy.

"He is..."

The pupil of Juzo immediately shrank and his face had a frightened expression.

"Sword Demon"

Ringo beside spoke loudly as she recognized him immediately.

Every major village had intelligence about Kozuki so it wasn't a big thing for them to know how he looked.

"What's he doing here wasn't he fighting the stone"

Fuguki beside couldn't help but asking as from the report they received he was still fighting with stone.

"So, you are those who destroyed the town then it's time for you to pay for what you did"

Kozuki jumped down from the tree as he stood in front of them looking at them with a cold expression.
