Naruto: The Template System

Konoha.

At the hospital,

"Bring the injured, hurry up."

Numerous bodies were lying everywhere in the hall, and Kurenai stood at the center, guiding the medical unit.

Whoosh...

Minato, along with Naruto and the passed out Kushina, at this time, appeared in the hospital.

"I leave her in your care, Kurenai San."

"Don't worry, Lord Hokage, I'll look after her"

Kurenai took the weak Kushina from Minato, and after assuring him, she quickly left with her for treatment.

"Naruto, go and gather all Konoha Genin; you have an A-level task to find the injured and transport them to the hospital."

Minato gave Naruto a task, and he quickly left to find Sasuke and the rest as Minato once again disappeared.

Hokage Office.

Despite the fierce fight, the Hokage Building was somehow safe and sound.

All the Kage, Jiraya, Kakashi, and Tsunade were present in the Hokage Office.

Medical Ninja was tending to the wounds of the Kage since they were injured in the fight earlier.

Whoosh...

At this moment, with a Yellow Trail, Minato appeared in the office.

"Have you dealt with the enemy, Minato?"

Tsunade quickly inquired as the rest in the room also looked over.

"Worry not; the enemy has been defeated"

Minato gave the good news as Tsunade, Jiraya and Kakashi finally sighed with relief.

"Lord Raikage, Lord Mizukage, according to Kozuki Kun, Akatsuki has also attacked your village to catch the tail beast."

"What!!"

A, stood up suddenly, his voice full of anger.

"Those bastards"

Terumi was also angry, her village had finally started to see peace, and now this attack has destroyed her efforts.

A, immediately left with Darui, and Terumi also took excuse and left with Ao.

Onoki and Rasa also said goodbye since they wanted to go back and check the situation of their village.

"How's Kushina?"

After escorting the Kage outside the Village, Minato returned as Tsunade asked him as Kakashi and Jiraya also looked towards him.

"She is fine; with Kozuki's help, I was able to save her."

Minato told the situation as smiles bloomed on the faces of everyone.

"Where is he?"

Kakashi asked as he couldn't wait to meet him.

"Kozuki Kun left to deal with someone, but he will be back soon."

Minato told what Kozuki had said to him as Kakashi, with expectations, began to wait for the return of Kozuki.

But at this moment, they suddenly sensed a vast and familiar chakra outside Hokage Building as they knew immediately that he was back.

________________

On the sky above Konoha,

Kozuki held the passed out Nagato, and Konan floated in the air looking at the village, nearly half destroyed.

Whoosh...

The next moment Kozuki disappeared from the sky, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the Hokage Building.

Kozuki, with Nagato on his shoulders and Konan in his arms, moved towards the entrance of the Hokage Building.

Knock...

Entering the building, Kozuki walking through the corridor arrived in front of the Hokage Office, and after knocking it once, he pushed it open.

"It seems you are done dealing with the enemy, Kozuki Kun."

Minato quickly walked in front and welcomed Kozuki.

Jiraya, who looked at the familiar person on the shoulder of Kozuki, was stunned for a moment.

"Is that Nagato and... Konan?"

Jiraya also recognized Konan from her unique purple hair as he came in front of Kozuki and looked at both of them carefully.

"Yes, she's that girl."

Tsunade also recognized Konan as she remembered that she was one of the three orphans she met at Amegakure.

"Who stole his eyes."

Looking at the empty sockets of Nagato, Jiraya knew immediately that someone must have stolen the Rinnegan of Nagato.

"Nagato will tell you everything when he wakes up, but now he needs medical attention."

Kozuki handed Nagato and Konan to Jiraya, who left with Tsunade since she was the only one who could treat the badly hurt Nagato.

"You haven't changed a bit, Kakashi."

After Jiraya and Tsunade left, Kozuki's eyes fell on Kakashi and arrived beside him.

"But you sure have changed a lot."

Kakashi answered back as his eyes had a complex look in them.

"Kakashi...I"

"You don't need to explain anything... since you did that, then you must have a reason... but if you are ever in a similar situation again, don't try to shoulder everything yourself."

Kakashi stopped Kozuki, who wanted to explain, and looked at Kozuki, hoping that Kozuki would not try to shoulder everything himself and could share his pain with his friends.

"Welcome Back, Kozuki"

Kozuki saw Kakashi bringing his fist forward as he looked at him, waiting for his response.

"Haha..."

Kozuki laughed a bit emotional, as his right fist bumped with the fist of Kakashi.

"He's finally back..."

Minato, who saw Kozuki laughing, smiled as he knew that Kozuki was finally back.
