Naruto: The Template System - Chapter 127: Battle
Konoha.
Rumble…
The lightning flashed as its thunderous sound caused fear in the hearts of everyone.
At the back of Konoha.
Boom…
Both Kozuki and Hashirama arrived in front of each other as a fierce Taijutsu battle started.
Hashirama’s right fist moved towards Kozuki’s face, who predicting it deflected it with his hand and spun quickly as his left leg slammed towards the stomach of Hashirama.
Jumping up, Hashirama dodged the leg and took out some Kunai with explosive tags around them, and threw them down.
“Useless”
But Kozuki seemed to have predicted it already as his body turned dark red and shot towards Hashirama in the air.
Boom…
The Kunai around Kozuki exploded, but they couldn’t do slight damage as Kozuki arrived in front of Hashirama in the air and his fist imbued with Haki slammed towards his chest.
Kozuki’s fist fell on the chest of Hashirama, who burst open entirely, and pieces of wood floated around Kozuki.
“Wood clone”
Kozuki knew it immediately but wasn’t surprised since Hashirama was unlike his previous opponents.
Landing back on the ground, Kozuki spotted Hashirama with his arms across his chest, who seemed to be waiting for him.
“You are strong, but the real fight hasn’t even started; I hope you can stop me.”
Hashirama now was utterly sure that Kozuki really had the strength to fight him equally.
He was actually happy that someone was strong enough to stop him; otherwise, he would have destroyed his village even if he didn’t want to.
Hearing his words, Kozuki put his hand around the hilt of his sword as he was also about to get serious.
“Wood Style Deep Forest Emergence”
Hashirama made hand signs as the whole Konoha started to shake.
Towering long thick tree roots drilled out from the ground covering an area of thousands of meters as numerous thick tree branches moved towards Kozuki.
“One Sword Style Red Dragon Barrage.”
Jumping in the sir, Kozuki sheathed his sword out, and his hand turned into afterimages as he slashed multiple times.
Roar!!!
Numerous red dragons, hundreds of meters long, shot out from the blade of Kozuki as the whole Konoha was blinded by red light.
The red dragons all turned into huge red slashes as they collided with countless roots and branches.
Boom!!!
The shockwaves produced by the collision spread all around Konoha, and massive wind pressure uprooted several houses of Konoha.
“What kind of fight is this!!!?”
Minato and the rest fighting the Past Kage also stopped fighting since the collision’s shock waves reached here.
Minato and others were shocked looking at the Towering roots and branches and equally wide long red dragons that could be easily seen even from here.
Now they understand why Hashirama was called the God of Shinobi and why Shanks could kill monsters like Kozuki along with Sarutobi, and Danzo.
Orochimaru, who was fighting with Jiraya, was also shocked as he never expected Shanks to fight on par with Hashirama.
“Hehe, even if you by any chance defeat the First Hokage, I still have someone who could make miracles.”
Orochimaru was someone who won’t gamble all in one shot; he naturally has some cards left to deal with an unexpected situation.
“You should quickly seal us while he is holding back, Big Brother.”
Tobirama reminded the stunned Kage that even if he was shocked, he knew they would emerge victoriously with their unlimited Chakra if they were not defeated quickly.
Hearing his words, everyone once again started another round of fighting.
__________
The forest outside Konoha,
“Roar…”
Kushina, or the now the massive monster with 8 tails behind, attacked the Black Susanoo of Fukashi with its fists as the Susanoo of Fukashi fell down.
“Damn, what’s with this monster.”
Nagato, controlling Yahiko from behind the scenes, cursed in annoyance as he coughed a mouthful of blood.
“Are you alright, Nagato?”
Konan, who stood beside him, asked him worriedly, seeing him coughing blood.
“Nine Tails is too strong, but… even though we are having a hard time, I need to seal it.”
A determinant expression appeared on the pale face of Nagato as for peace, he would go to every length.
“Don’t tell me, you…”
“Only that Jutsu can completely stop the Nine-Tails.”
“But you already have used so much Chakra.”
Konan said worriedly, but Nagato didn’t flinch, brought his trembling hands in front, and made hand signs.
______________
At the battlefield,
Fukashi once again got up using the Susanoo to fight Nine-Tails, but under the mask, his eyes were bleeding at the moment.
“Damn, I have used too much Chakra.”
Fukashi cursed in annoyance as he never expected Nine-Tails to be so strong.
Now he can only pin his hope on Pain for a miracle.
“Huh…”
Fukashi suddenly noticed a vast chakra gathering in Tendo’s Pain.
He saw him bringing his hands forward as a black ball suddenly gathered in his palms and soon floated upward.
“Chibaku Tensei!!!!”
Pain roared with all of his might, and he clapped his hands together as the whole area around 1000 meters started to shake.
The ground started to break, and huge pieces of rock started to float upward.
“This…”
Fukashi, along with Nine Tails, found himself moving upward, was stunned for a moment but soon after recognized this Jutsu.
According to Madara, Sage of Six Paths had used this Jutsu to create the moon.
The Susanoo around Fukashi faded, and the next moment Fukashi disappeared and appeared on the ground beside Tendo Pain.
A vast rock ball began to form in the sky, and the Nine-Tails was stuck at the center.
“Roar…”
The Nine Tails roared, trying to free itself from the considerable force binding him, but the vast rocks hitting him from time to time made it impossible.
Tendo Pain didn’t stop infusing Chakra as the size of the massive ball in the air kept increasing, and finally, even the Nine-Tails disappeared in the giant ball.
“Huh”
“It’s finally done.”
Tendo pain said with some emotion, looking at the massive sphere in the air.
As Fukashi and Nagato finally took a sigh of relief, they noticed that the sphere in the air started to shake again as the expression on their faces turned ugly.
