Naruto: The Template System - Chapter 147: Happiness
Konoha.
The lazy clouds drifted on the sky above Konoha.
It’s been a month since the day Akatsuki attacked the village.
Under the management of Minato, Village has been completely rebuilt, and the streets of Konoha were bustling with people.
___________________
Konoha Interrogation Department.
In the basement,
Both Nagato and Konan sat leaning on the wall, totally motionless with sealing tags placed on them in a cell.
Nagato had a white cloth covering his eyes since even if he was a criminal, he was given essential medication to preserve his life.
The previous holder of Rinnegan was blind now, and even if he was the student of Jiraya, new eyes weren’t transplanted.
After all, he was behind the killing of so many people during the attack.
“Kozuki, I know you could have killed them, but you didn’t; I’m really grateful”
With a large scroll on his back and long white hair, Jiraya stood in front of Kozuki as he thanked him for being merciful.
“They deserved a chance, Lord Jiraya”
looking at Nagato, Kozuki was a bit emotional as even if he had changed the destiny of many people, saving Nagato was still not in his hands.
He wasn’t strong enough to face Madara at that time, but it wasn’t too late as Nagato could start a new life with Konan after being released.
Beside Kozuki stood Minato and Ibiki.
Minato had decided to lock both Nagato and Konan for 10 years, only because of their relationship with Jiraya.
After hearing the whole story from Nagato himself, Minato knew that Nagato was used and he was just a pawn, but it couldn’t change what he had done.
Locking them for 10 years was already giving them a significant concession.
Today they accompanied Jiraya since he wanted to meet his students.
This month, Kushina had also woken up and was happy to see Kozuki alive and thanked him for saving her life again.
“Let’s go”
Whoosh…
After looking at both of his students the last time, Jiraya said as Minato put a hand on his shoulder and disappeared with him.
Kozuki also left the interrogation department and quickly returned home since he had promised Kurenai to take her shopping today.
“Huh…”
But finding the vacant house and no sign of Kurenai, Kozuki was confused and immediately covered the entire Konoha with his Haki.
Immediately, Kozuki found her aura in the Hospital as he became even more confused.
She had promised to go out but suddenly going to Hospital was a bit confusing to Kozuki, so he quickly went towards the Hospital.

Konoha Hospital.
“Sensei, is it really what I have guessed?”
Kurenai looked at Tsunade for confirmation as her face had a nervous smile.
From her tone, one could feel how nervous and excited she was.
Beside her also stood Shizune, who also looked at Tsunade, waiting eagerly for her response.
Seeing the nervous and expectant look in the eyes of Kurenai, Tsunade decided not to tease her anymore and told the truth.
“Congratulations, you have a life in your stomach”
“Yes!!!”
Hearing her confirmation, Kurenai jumped like a little girl and hugged Shizune beside in excitement.
Creak…
“Seriously, you should…What!!”
At this moment, the room door was pushed open as Kozuki entered the room.
When he wanted to ask why she was here, he stopped suddenly and was stunned seeing the so excited Kurenai.
Hearing his voice, Kurenai let go of Shizune, and without saying a word, she rushed towards him and hugged him with all her might face full of happiness.
“Hey, what happened?”
Seeing such an excited Kurenai, Kozuki couldn’t help but ask, a bit confused.
“Kozuki, we… are about to become parents”
Kurenai let go of Kozuki and looked at him with tears of joy in her eyes.
“What!!!”
Kozuki was stunned, and immediately he focused his Observation Haki entirely on Kurenai.
“Haha, I’m going to be a father”
Immediately, he was able to sense a slight life aura in her stomach as he started laughing loudly and held Kurenai from her waist with one hand lifting her up.
Seeing such an excited Kozuki, Kurenai became even more, happier and hugged his neck with both of her hands and laughed along with him.
“Sigh… I’m jealous”
Seeing the happy couple, Tsunade was a bit emotional and envious.
Shizune looked at both Kozuki and Kurenai and felt happy for her friends.
Kozuki was like a big brother, and Kurenai was like a sister who cared for her, so she naturally was happy.
But in her heart, a worry rose for her future as she was 27 but still didn’t have a boyfriend.
She wondered whether she would stay single like Tsunade all life.
Kozuki’s voice was really loud as it spread throughout the Hospital, and some old staff who knew him recognized his voice.
The news soon reached the ears of Minato, Kushina, Kakashi, Obito, and all of his friends.
