Naruto: The Template System

Chapter 116: Fear

Konoha.

Death Forest.

"Hand over your scroll; otherwise, you know the consequences."

Kozuki and his team were stopped by Shinobi of the Mist village in the forest filled with towering trees.

The tan-skinned guy with one eye who seemed to be the leader licked the blade in his hand as he threatened Kozuki.

Hearing their threat, Kozuki smiled and pushed the glasses on his face.

The three in front suddenly fell down with their eyes blank the next moment.

"Go and check their scroll."

Hearing his order, Zetsu immediately searched the three passed out in front and soon brought a Scroll of Heaven to Kozuki.

"Hehe, it was much easier than expected."

Zetsu laughed as they had already gotten the scroll they needed and now only needed to reach the tower.

"It isn't over yet."

Kozuki said with a smile as they suddenly heard a voice from behind.

"Kid, can you give that scroll to us"

Looking in the direction the sound came from, a group of two men and a woman, headed by a red-haired teenager, walked out of the forest.

After the Gaara trio came out, their eyes were on Kozuki and others.

"One arm"

Noticing Kozuki's left arm, Kankuro didn't put Kozuki in eyes while Temari felt pity that such a handsome guy was Handicapped.

"This huge Chakra, is he?"

Behind Kozuki feeling the enormous chakra, Zetsu seemed to guess something as he looked towards Kozuki for confirmation.

"He's the one tail Jinchuriki."

Kozuki confirmed the doubt of Zetsu while looking at the red hair kid in front.

Dressed in black tights, carrying a giant gourd, with short red hair and a word of "love" printed on the forehead above the left eye.

"Do you want this?"

Kozuki shook the scroll of heaven in front of them and said with a mocking tone.

"Oh, you are from Rain Village, hand over the scroll; we will let you leave you alive.'

Noticing their headband, Kankuro decided not to kill them since it might make Hanzo angry.

"I will kill them."

As soon as Kankuro's words fell, Gaara said with a murderous aura around him.

Kankuro's face changed slightly, and he leaned towards Gaara, whispering in his ear, telling him about the consequences, but the stubborn Gaara didn't care for whatever he said.

"Do we catch him now?"

While Kankuro was trying to persuade Gaara, Zetsu suggested catching Gaara.

Zetsu knows with the strength of Shanks, it won't take long for them to capture Gaara easily.

"No, not now"

Kozuki rejected the suggestion of Zetsu, who didn't persuade Kozuki anymore.

Gaara came forward with an indifferent expression on his face and raised his hand.

Sand came out from the giant gourd behind him as it hovered around him.

The sand around him gathered and turned into a vast yellow palm as it fell on Kozuki and others trying to crush them.

Boom...

But before it could even reach them, the large hand seemed to be hit by something dispersing immediately as the yellow sand fell around.

"How__."

"Look at those dark circles under your eyes; you should go to sleep."

Before the shocked Temari and Kankuro could complete their words, they heard a voice beside them.

Between them and behind Gaara with short brown hair and glasses on his eyes, Kozuki stood with a gentle smile on his face as his hand was on the shoulder of Gaara.

Hearing the voice behind and feeling the tap on his shoulder, Gaara's eyes were about to pop out from the sockets due to the shock.

The sand, which he calls the absolute defense, has always protected him, but this is the first time someone bypassed his defense so easily.

If the enemy wanted to kill, he might be dead already.

Before Gaara could turn his head back, he felt pain from the back of his neck, his vision began to blur, and darkness enveloped him.

"Thud..."

Gaara fell down in front of Kozuki, his eyes blank.

Shukaku, sealed inside Gaara, wanted to use this opportunity, but suddenly fear was in his eyes as it sensed the familiar oppressive aura.

It immediately became docile, not moving anymore.

"Gaara was..."

Temari and Kankuro were shaking with fear as they couldn't believe the sight in front.

Gaara was feared in the entire village, and his strength was one of the main reasons.

Even their father had to use his whole strength to stop Gaara whenever he went on a rampage.

Looking at the scared Temari and Kankuro, Kozuki felt a bit funny.

Not wanting to waste his time anymore, Kozuki immediately fainted them with the Conqueror's Haki.

"Let's go."

Kozuki immediately left with the two Zetsu after dealing with Gaara and others.

But before leaving, he looked towards a specific direction for a second.

Kozuki left with the bodies of Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara lying near a towering tree unconscious.
