Naruto: The Template System

Chapter 82: Gathering

Konoha.

In an unknown house,

Konoha F4 (Koharu, Mitokado, Danzo, Sarutobi) were holding a round table meeting.

"Do we really need to do this?"

Sarutobi holding the smoke pipe looked towards his old friends as his face had a worried expression.

"What do you mean Hiruzen!!! are you going to back down at the last minute?"

Danzo has been waiting for his revenge counting every day.

Every time he remembers the humiliation that Kozuki inflicted on him, only he knows how he stops himself from attacking Kozuki.

And now when the long waited moment arrives, hearing Sarutobi's words he couldn't help but speak loudly towards him in an angry tone.

"Calm down, Danzo"

Koharu and Homura both spoke together advising Danzo to be calm.

"How can I calm down, Hiruzen didn't we trained him all this time just for this day"

Danzo spoke as he hoped that his words could awake the inner demon of Sarutobi.

"But didn't you saw his strength, what happened to Nine Tails I believe you are not oblivious to it"

Whenever Sarutobi remembers the sight of devastated Nine Tails, he can't help but feel a bit scared.

If Kozuki attacks him with that last punch of his, even his bones may not be found.

"Hiruzen, from the first day, we both knew that we never were his opponents, all of our hopes were always on the trump card"

Danzo persuaded Sarutobi as without his help he would never be able to get his revenge.

"What if our trump card fails?"

Sarutobi looked towards Danzo and asked the question he was most worried about.

"Sarutobi with what I gave to that Anbu, Kozuki will definitely be caught unprepared, there's no way we can fail"

Danzo had absolute confidence that with the ability that he gave to that Anbu, Kozuki will surely be taken down

After hearing his words, Sarutobi didn't say anything more as he closed his eyes.

Seeing the quiet Sarutobi, the other three knew immediately that Sarutobi had agreed and smiles bloomed on their faces.

"Forgive Me, Kozuki, What I did is for Konoha"

Thought Sarutobi as he knew that what he was about to do was something that would chill the hearts of every Shinobi if they ever learned it.

Even if 100 years may pass, if the people of Ninja World learns the truth, they might even pull him out of his grave and feed his remains to dogs.

Night.

The whole Konoha was brightly lit.

The streets were filled with laughter's of people who were out to have fun with their loved ones.

After the attack of Kyuubi, it was the first time, the villagers had such smiles on their faces.

Yakiniku Restaurant.

"Isn't this rare, you holding a gathering, Kozuki?"

Obito said looking at Kozuki with surprise.

Beside the big table, there were also Kakashi, Guy, Rin, Minato, and Kushina who was holding the newly born Naruto.

Shisui and Itachi also sat on the left and right of Kozuki.

"I don't why but... I suddenly wanted to meet you all"

Kozuki didn't know how to express his mood at the moment.

He didn't know why but he suddenly had a feeling that something big was going to happen which deeply worried him.

"You live alone Kozuki Kun, it isn't surprising that you'll feel lonely"

Said Minato with the same sunny smile on his face looking towards Kozuki.

"Yeah, Kozuki kun if you feel lonely you can come and play with Naruto"

Kushina was really grateful to Kozuki and didn't want to see him depressed.

"By the way Kozuki Kun, since you are here then take this with you, Lord Third gave it for you"

Minato took out a scroll from his Ninja Bag as he handed it to Kozuki.

Kozuki took the scroll but didn't open it now and put it away.

Kozuki suddenly had a guess as to why he was feeling uneasy after he heard the name of Sarutobi.

"Kakashi, it seems you have improved a lot this year"

Kozuki could easily sense that the aura of Kakashi was increasing every day, Kakashi didn't have Sharingan but it only worked in his favor.

Kakashi in original could never close the Sharingan and it always exhausted his chakra which resulted him in wasting his talent.

But now with his talent and the teachings of his father, he was improving more and more and it won't him long to surpass his father.

"I can't afford to be overthrown by you too much"

Kozuki has always been his rival from the ninja school and one of his best friends, he never wanted the gap between them to just keep increasing.

"Haha, then you have to work hard even more Kakashi"

Kozuki laughed enjoying the warm atmosphere with his friends.

Shisui and Itachi looked at Kakashi curiously as they could sense that their Sensei really treated him differently from his other friends.

It was a kind of a friendship mixed with rivalry and competition.

"Take Care, Kozuki"

"Take Care, Sensei"

After the dinner everyone said goodbye to Kozuki as they all went towards their home with smiles on their faces.

Kozuki waved his hands towards everyone in response and stopped after they disappeared from his sight.

"Now, let's see what you're planning Sarutobi"

Arriving home, Kozuki immediately went to his room and was ready to unseal the scroll.

"Hmm, a task?"

Kozuki saw that he was ordered to investigate the recent explosions near the border of land of fire.

Sarutobi guessed that it might be a strong summoned beast and decided to send him to investigate.

"It seems you couldn't wait anymore"

Kozuki closed the scroll and put it in the system space as he fell into deep thinking.

He was sure that this was a trap to lure him away from Konoha.

Kozuki thought of exposing their conspiracy but it would only make Sarutobi and Danzo alert.

Even if Sarutobi had given this scroll, he only needed to refuse that it was changed and more importantly Minato would never believe that Sarutobi can do such a thing.

So, he decided that soon he would remove the tumors eroding Konoha once and for all.
