Naruto: The Template System

Land of Iron.

In a restaurant,

It was a spacious hall with numerous chairs and tables, but at this moment, the whole hall had pin-drop silence.

A heap of different luxurious dishes was placed on one of the tables.

On the chair beside the table, Kozuki sat as he devoured the food in front without any constraint.

Around him, on the hall floor, numerous bodies were lying motionless on the ground making the scene terrifying.

On the chair in front of Kozuki sat a person wearing a dark robe with red clouds printed on it and a spiral-shaped mask making it unable to see his identity.

"Haha, as expected of the legendary Akagami Shanks, wherever you go, you make a big fuss."

Fukashi was sweating crazy as he looked at all the passed out people, the fear of Kozuki increasing more and more in his heart.

"I like to eat in a quiet atmosphere."

Kozuki didn't care for the praise of Fukashi as he ate the food in front constantly with half of his mask removed.

Half of the people on the ground were bounty hunters, so he knocked everyone out; anyway, they would wake up after he left.

But midway through his meal, Fukashi arrived, making him somewhat curious about why he would find him.

"Have you heard what happened in Konoha?"

Fukashi said while looking towards Kozuki, who had worn his mask back entirely as the food in front was finished.

"Konoha, what happened?"

Kozuki looked towards Fukashi, and Fukashi didn't know why he seemed to feel the room's temperature becoming a bit cold.

Kozuki hoped that nothing bad had occurred since the plot was already beyond recognition, making him worried about something unexpected.

Fukashi immediately narrated the whole matter of the execution of the advisors and its reason and told him what the world was thinking of him now.

"Haha, everyone thinks that you are a big bluff who just happened to be lucky to find the injured Sword Demon."

Fukashi wasn't making fun of Kozuki but was mocking the ninja world; if they knew what he did in the mist village, their eyes would pop out from their sockets.

The whole world was now guessing that Shanks just happened to pass by the fighting place and was able to Kill the already exhausted Hokage, Kozuki and Danzo.

They could guess that Sarutobi being together with them couldn't be a coincidence, and it means he was the part of the group who set up the ambush, but Konoha ninja refused to believe it and just treated it as an enemy's plot.

If their guess is accurate, it seems that Akagami Shanks isn't as strong as imagined.

Kozuki was someone who could defeat the whole village alone; beating him along with Hokage and Danzo made them fear Akagami Shanks before.

But if they were injured already, then they could understand.

But what most villagers didn't know was about what happened in the Mist Village.

Terumi, after waking up, didn't let the matter leak out since it was shameful for them to lose a second time against only a single person.

Minato also didn't announce it since they were in an alliance, and ruining their reputation could cause the coalition to break.

"Do you also think so?"

Boom...

The whole hall started shaking as cracks appeared everywhere in the room, whether on the floor or the walls.

"Haha, of course...not"

Fukashi sat in front of Kozuki, laughed, praising him, but his breathing was short as his arms were trembling with fear.

"I underestimated him too much."

The aura of Kozuki was too strong; even Madara he had seen looked a little less in front of it.

Fukashi tried to calm himself down as he knew he couldn't afford to look panicked in front of Kozuki; otherwise, it could put his identity as Madara in danger.

Kozuki laughed inwardly since he could sense that Fukashi was scared silly by his aura.

"You didn't disappoint me, Minato."

Kozuki thought as a part of his heart seemed to be relieved of an enormous burden.

Minato executing Koharu and Mitokado was already the best he could do, and he wasn't angry at him for concealing the name of Sarutobi.

He didn't behead Sarutobi for the sake of his title, so he could understand why Minato did so.

He knew now the village was on the right track; with Konoha F4 completely gone, Konoha would only get stronger and stronger.

This was all possible due to his efforts; he not only saved the village from its decline, Minato, Sakumo, and the whole Uchiha Clan were still alive because of him.

Kozuki was in a good mood, so he started another round of eating as Fukashi, scared by his power, quietly slipped away.
