Naruto: The Template System - Chapter 135: Unfathomable

(Time difference, the fight of Kushina was ahead than the fights occurring in Konoha, I just wrote her chapters first, so for Kozuki, she was still somewhat safe)

__________________

Konoha.

Fighting Square.

“Zangetsu!!!”

The voice spread throughout the village as everyone looked in the voice direction.

A dark red line suddenly shot towards the dark sky from the fighting square.

As the red light came in contact with the dark clouds, they all dispersed immediately, and the hidden sun began to show itself.

Everyone in the fighting square was speechless as their gaze was stuck on Kozuki with a dark crimson aura around him.

“What’s with this terrifying feeling…”

Naruto and the rest of the genin fell on the ground, their body limp as they all seemed to lose the power to stand against this terrifying aura.

Soon, the dark crimson aura surrounding Kozuki began to dissipate, and the figure of Kozuki appeared in front of everyone.

“This…”

Whether it was Minato, Kurenai, Kakashi, or the rest, all of them didn’t have words to describe the powerful aura radiating from Kozuki.

“That’s a Shinigami…”

Orochimaru looked at Kozuki, and remembering his words, he understood what Kozuki had become now.

Black Haori with a White cloth binding it on the waist and in the right hand of Kozuki was a black and silver oversized sword with white bandages coiled on its hilt.

“This power…”

Kozuki, who also used Shikai for the first time, was impressed by the boost of the power.

He unlocked the Shikai form when his template reached 20% but had never tried it before.

But now, he could feel that his strength in this form has taken a significant leap, and remembering the six paths Madara in his memory, Kozuki believed that his power was at least equal to him.

More importantly, his Haki has taken an enormous leap; Haki is also a kind of spiritual power, so with the Reiatsu, it was amplified.

“Orochimaru, any last words?”

Finally, after getting used to this sudden increase in strength, Kozuki floated in the air and said to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru wasn’t much shocked seeing Kozuki flying since flying seemed reasonable in front of this transformation.

“I regret not catching you before.”

With disappointment on his face, Orochimaru told his regret to Kozuki.

If he had planned to catch Kozuki when he wasn’t this strong, maybe he would have this strength today.

“But I’m not that easy to defeat.”

Even if he knew he couldn’t defeat Kozuki, Orochimaru wasn’t someone who would give up.

Orochimaru made a hand sign, and all the five reanimated Shinobi rushed towards Kozuki.

Kakashi wanted to go forward and help Kozuki, but Minato stopped him shaking his head.

“We’ll only be a hindrance to him.”

Minato said to Kakashi since he knew with their strength, they would only get in the way of Kozuki.

Whoosh…

Swish… Swish…

A crimson light flashed with an air-cutting sound as Minato and the rest all saw Kozuki disappearing from the air and reappearing at a bit of distance from Orochimaru.

But behind him, whether it was 3rd Raikage, 2nd Mizukage, Sarutobi, Tobirama, and Mu, all of them had shock expressions on their faces.

A line soon appeared from the head to bottom of every reanimated Shinobi as they all were divided into two.

The next moment, dust scattered around, and five divided corpses of White Zetsu fell on the ground.

The souls of the previous Kage were immediately surrounded by a white light, but even the souls had shocked expressions.

They couldn’t understand what had happened, they only saw a red light flashing, then they were divided into two.

The most significant improvement that Kozuki got was his speed; he believed no one in the Ninja World could be faster than him.

“How… is this possible?”

Everyone present came back to their senses and asked immediately.

They were the previous Kage, not some Genin, but all of them were taken down with a single strike, totally unbelievable.

“You…”

“Farewell”

Looking at Kozuki in front, Orochimaru wanted to say something, but only a blade with a crimson aura around it was the last thing he saw.

Boom…

Red energy completely enveloped Orochimaru, and no sign of Orochimaru could be seen when it dissipated.

“That’s it, it’s over.”

Jiraya couldn’t help but say as all it took were a few seconds, the opponents they all couldn’t defeat were all taken down in a matter of time.

Kozuki sensed the aura of Orochimaru disappearing completely finally sighed in relief.

But he knew that there was still a way to resurrect Orochimaru; the curse seal was the assurance of Orochimaru.

“Orochimaru is tough to kill.”

Kozuki sighed as killing Orochimaru was even more difficult than killing an Otsutsuki.

They only have a single Karma, but this bastard has numerous.

“Huh”

Kozuki suddenly sensed the aura of Kushina weakening, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Whoosh…

Kozuki appeared in front of Minato, stunned by his sudden appearance.

“Kozuki Kun, I__.”

“Minato San, we don’t have time; please take me to Kushina San.”

Kozuki didn’t let Minato complete his words as he quickly said to Minato.

“Kushina, what happened to her?”

Hearing about Kushina, Minato immediately asked back, and even Naruto came near them, worried for his mother.

“I’m afraid that Kyuubi has been unsealed, but I have a way to save her.”

“Tsunade San, please command the village while I’m gone.”

Minato was angry when he heard about the seal, but his eyes lit up with hope when he listened to his words.

“Father, I’ll go also.”

“No, it’s dangerous. Naruto, stay here and help the injured.”

Naruto wanted to go along, but Minato denied it immediately as he didn’t want to put Naruto in danger.

“Minato san, let him come; we may need another Uzumaki.”

Kozuki said to Minato, who immediately understood what he meant, and after struggling for a while, finally agreed to let him come.

“I’ll be waiting for you.”

Minato put his hands on the shoulder of Kozuki and Naruto, and when they were about to leave, Kozuki suddenly heard a voice full of expectations from behind.

“Worry not, I will be back this time.”

Kozuki turned around and said to Kurenai with a smile on his face as the next moment he disappeared along with Minato and Naruto.
