Naruto: The Template System - Chapter 166: Ten-Tails

Chapter 166: Ten-Tails

Battlefield.

“That’s Ten-Tails”

Shikamaru, who has grown a lot this whole year, looked at the massive monster with surprise in his eyes.

Even from so far, this monster looked too huge, and his surprise increased even more, when he saw the golden foxes fighting Ten-Tails.

“It seems you have surpassed your father, Naruto”

Shikamaru was happy for his best friend, who could achieve his dream.

Shikamaru has seen how hard has Naruto trained, and he actually wanted to be his advisor in the future.

“How will we defeat that monster?”

Ino, who saw the giant monster, was somewhat terrified as she wondered how they would be able to deal with this monster.

“Maybe he could have”

Kurenai running in front, thought as an image of a figure with a skeleton-like face and two horns on his head appeared in her mind.

When she was injured by Isshiki, she didn’t pass out, and she saw what happened to Kozuki.

She saw him in pain, agony, and he turned into a monster for her sake.

She saw his ridiculous strength, which turned the sky of the whole world red, and saw him killing those insanely strong enemies with ease.

After that, she passed out and was taken back to the village by Tsunade; with her careful treatment, her life was saved.

Kurenai was left in despair as she cursed; why can’t she have the life she desires? Always something happens, and she has to bear the pain.

But after seeing her crying son, Kurenai once again bore the pain, and for her son, she did everything to raise him.

This whole year she has been through a lot, not only because she had to raise her son alone, but the worry for Kozuki didn’t decrease at all.

She saw him entering that portal chasing after the enemy, “did he go to the enemies Hideout?” and “were there even more strong enemies like the Intruders?”.

“Was he alright, or was he even still alive?”, this thought haunted Kurenai, but she still didn’t give up and kept raising her son while teaching her students.

Just when war broke out, if she wanted, she could have remained back in the village and stayed with her one-year-old son, but she didn’t do that.

The world that Kozuki tried so hard to protect and would never back out even if it meant giving up his life, she wanted to save it also.

Kozuki’s sacrifice would have been in vain; she didn’t want this to happen.

Whoosh…

All the five squads quickly arrived near the battle point and stopped at a bit of distance from Naruto and others fighting with the Ten-Tails.

“So it was true; he really is the child of prophecy”

Jiraya, the commander of the first squad, looked at his student who had grown to this height and remembered the prediction of Toad Sage.

One day, one of his students will find the proper answer, he always thought it would be Nagato or maybe Minato, but this kid surprised him.

“Don’t spout nonsense; be more serious”

“Don’t get angry Tsunade, I was just lost in the past”

Jiraya, who absentmindedly praised Naruto, heard the loud sound beside him and immediately a scared expression on his face as he quickly appeased the angry Tsunade beside him.

Jiraya was the commander of the first squad, Tsunade was the second squad’s leader, Darui led the third, Kakashi the fourth, and fifth was Sakumo.

Konoha had so many powerhouses with so much war experience, no one was better than them to lead the squads.

“That’s Sasuke Sama”

“He’s so strong”

Some members of the Uchiha Clan cheered loudly after they saw the huge Susanoo of Sasuke fighting the Ten-Tails.

“It seems I owe you again, Kozuki Kun”

Minato and others reached the battlefield while the squads arrived and saw the giant monster.

Looking at Kushina and Naruto using the power of Nine Tails, Minato thought about Kozuki as it was all due to his help.

“Is… that?”

While Minato thought about Kozuki, Onoki, who saw the figure on the back of Ten-Tails, immediately had a terrified expression on his face.

That same arrogant face he saw years ago, Onoki could never forget it.

“Well, it seems everyone has gathered; it’s time for the start of the show”

Madara standing on the back of Ten-Tails, saw everyone arriving and said loudly.

A tube suddenly drilled out from the back of Ten Tails attaching to Madara, and the angry Ten-Tails became docile.

Ten-Tails opened its mouth, and a huge Bijudama was formed immediately.

Everyone heard his voice clearly, and after seeing the huge Bijudama, they were left terrified.

“leave it to me”

Just as Ten-Tails was about to shoot the Bijudama towards them, Minato arrived in front of everyone.

“It’s Lord Hokage”

Seeing Minato, everyone sighed with relief as they believed Minato would definitely be able to deal with it.

Kach…

Just when Minato was preparing to deal with the upcoming Bijudama, a sound like glass being broken was heard by everyone.

They all saw just a little distance away from the Ten-Tails, the space started to have cracks, and a colorful portal appeared.

Everyone saw a figure stepping out from the portal, even in the dark night they saw him clearly.

He had short red hair with a handsome mature face, and he wore a black shirt and pants with a grey cloak above it, and a sword with a green hilt was hung at his waist.

“He is…”

Every Ninja of the Konoha who saw the familiar figure immediately recognized him.

“Kozuki!!!!”

Kurenai, who saw the familiar figure, was stunned and then shouted his name loudly with an excited expression on her face.
