Naruto: The Template System - Chapter 153: Resolve
Outside Konoha.
Whoosh…
With white crackling thunder around his blade, Sakumo appeared before Kinshiki, his sword slashing towards him.
Bang…
Deflection the flame shurikens of Itachi, Kinshiki quickly brought his halberd in front, blocking the attack of Sakumo.
Putting force in his arm, Kinshiki forced Sakumo back, who flew backward since his physical strength was not even close to Kinshiki.
“Odama Rasengan”
Kinshiki, who parried the attack of Sakumo, suddenly noticed chakra behind him, and Minato appeared behind him with a giant Rasengan in his hands.
“Raikiri!!!!”
Kinshiki wanted to dodge the attack, but with the sounds of birds chirping, Kakashi appeared, and in his hands, purple lightning overflowed.
Bang…
Bringing his halberd in front, Kinshiki stopped the Raikiri, but the giant Rasengan fell on his back.
“Ahhh…”
Blood leaked out from the mouth of Kinshiki, and a deep wound appeared on his back as he was drilled deep into the ground.
But Kinshiki didn’t get a chance to get up as suddenly a red energy penetrated him.
Itachi using Susanoo, was able to stop Kinshiki as Kinshiki tried his best to break free from Totsuka Blade.
“This Guy…”
Itachi, who thought Kinshiki would be sealed, saw something incredible.
Totsuka blade would immediately seal anyone penetrated by it in a world of illusions for eternity.
This was the myth but seeing it being broken was shocking for Itachi.
“Kach…”
The Totsuka blade tried to devour Kinshiki, but he struggled as Itachi saw cracks appearing on his Gourd.
Otsutsuki was naturally someone that couldn’t be dealt with so quickly.
Itachi infused more chakra in the Totsuka blade, but the struggle of Kinshiki didn’t stop.
Minato and the rest kept a safe distance from Kinshiki.
They wanted to attack Kinshiki, not allowing him to break free from the Totsuka blade.
But with the slightest mistake, even they might be pulled in and sealed away.
Rumble…
As they were dealing with Kinshiki, they suddenly heard the sound of thunder flashing, and they looked up saw a sky full of dark clouds.
An aura that reminded everyone of death spread around as Minato and the rest immediately recognized this familiar deathly aura.
“Master Momoshiki!!!”
Kinshiki also seemed familiar with this aura as he shouted the name of Momoshiki and struggled even harder to break free.
Kach…
With an all-out effort from Kinshiki, the Gourd completely broke apart, and Kinshiki freed immediately rushed towards the direction of Momoshiki.
“How is this possible?”
Itachi was shocked seeing Totsuka blade being broken, but he knew he didn’t have time to be surprised.
Kozuki was already fighting three monsters, and fighting another one would put him at a disadvantage.
Immediately, along with Minato, Kakashi, and Sakumo, he chased after Kinshiki.
_____________
Konoha Hospital.
In the delivery room
“Tsunade Sama, quickly a patient is in grave danger”
A Konuichi quickly ran in as she quickly told the situation of the patient who was injured due to the shock waves caused by the fight of Kozuki and Otsutsuki.
“Please look after her, Tsunade San.”
Tsunade remembered what Kozuki had said to her, but she also couldn’t leave a patient in danger.
After struggling with herself for a moment, Tsunade sighed as she turned around and said to Shizune.
“Shizune, take care of her”
Tsunade instructed as she quickly left to treat the injured patient.
Kurenai lay on the bed holding her newborn son, hoping nothing wrong happened and her family could reunite quickly.
Rumble…
But suddenly, she heard the sound of lightning from outside and sensed the familiar aura.
“Kozuki…”
“No, Kurenai, stay here”
Kurenai became worried as she wanted to get up but was stopped by Shizune.
“Shizune, I have never asked you anything, please let me leave, I beg you…”
Kurenai looked towards Shizune with tears in her eyes as she wanted to go and help Kozuki.
She didn’t know, but she had a bad feeling in her heart, and she couldn’t wait to go and fight along with Kozuki.
Sigh…
Seeing the tears in the eyes of Kurenai, Shizune sighed and didn’t persuade her anymore.
“Take care of Renji, Shizune”
Kurenai handed her newborn son to Shizune as chakra erupted from her.
The mark on her forehead began to expand; it spread all over her face and appeared on her hands, body.
Kurenai, who was feeling weak, suddenly began to feel the power returning as soon she was even better than her peak state.
Opening the window, Kurenai jumped down, rushing towards the direction of Kozuki as her senses were heightened a lot in this state.
Jumping from building to building, she quickly left the village, and the distance between her and Kozuki kept decreasing.
Kurenai had determination in her eyes as she would fight along with him this time.
