Naruto: The Template System

Chapter 22: Aftermath

Soon after Kozuki and the other's left, Kakashi along with Rin and Obito arrived.

"What happened here?" said Obito surprised looking at the destruction in front of him.

"What kind of battle took place here!" thought Kakashi looking at the destroyed area surprised beyond words as he has never seen such a sight.

"Obito, Kakashi look at this" shouted Rin as both of them arrived beside her.

"What's the matte___ Hiss..."Obito words were left in his throat as his eyes shrank looking at scene in front completely speechless.

"This..."Kakashi was also beyond words as this was the most incredible thing he has ever seen.

The ground in front around 40m long was divided neatly into two.

The area around it also had numerous slash marks.

"Look there are people" Rin pointed towards a direction as Kakashi and Obito saw three figures covered with blood lay on the ground.

"They are alive" arriving near them Kakashi squatted down and told about their situation.

"These girls aren't much injured but this guy his life is in danger" told Kakashi after examining them.

Kisame had numerous small wounds all over his body and a terrifying slash mark at his chest with blood still pouring down.

"What kind of enemy they encountered?" Obito said his face a bit pale hoping not to meet that enemy.

"The enemy didn't took there scroll as well" said Kakashi holding the heaven scroll he found and continued saying "the enemy's goal might not be the scroll maybe it is to Kill" Kakashi said his thoughts scaring Obito even more.

"This destruction around is all caused by a sword" Kakashi made a judgement after checking everything around.

"How can a sword cause such damage" Obito and Rin both couldn't believe his words.

In Ninja World, Swordsmanship never prospered, only those in the land of Iron used sword but even they only applied Chakra to the blade with no real Swordsmanship.

"I'm also having a hard time believing it" replied Kakashi.

"We have gotten the scroll we needed, let's leave this place quickly" said Kakashi.

"But what about them" asked Rin a bit worried looking at the injured Kisame and co.

"Don't worry, such a large movement will never be undetected, Konoha Jonin might be here any minute, let's go" told Kakashi as the three of them flashed disappearing from the place.

As Kakashi had predicted, after a few minutes Orochimaru along with Konoha Anbu arrived at the scene as the injured were escorted out for treatment.

"This exam has gotten more and more interesting" said Orochimaru looking at the exaggerated slash with interest, his long tongue out of his mouth licking his lips.

On the other side, inside the tower.

"I think we are the first team to be here" said Kurenai looking at the empty hall except some Konoha Ninja at duty.

"It seems like this" nodded Kozuki as he couldn't sense any other Genin except them.

"By the Kozuki, those slashes of yours are they some type Jutsu" asked Kurenai what she wanted to know remembering those huge red slashes.

"No, that's pure swordsmanship" told Kozuki not caring for the impact his words had.

"How is it possible, if you don't use Chakra, then how could it be possible cause such a damage" retorted Shizune as this was something never heard of.

Chakra was the core of everything in Ninja World, causing such damage without using it was something that no one would even think off.

"Do you remember what I said at the first day of Academy" said Kozuki looking at the two of them.

"Yes, I clearly remember every word of it" told Kurenai and Shizune beside nodded also.

"I said that day, "I'm destined to be the strongest swordsman that world has never seen before" told Kozuki looking straight ahead a bit emotional as he had gotten so strong already, but this was inseparable from his inhuman training.

Both Kurenai and Shizune looked at his side face and their heart skipped a beat as they lowered their head with face red all over.

"He look's so charming" Kurenai thought in her heart as she felt a complete different feeling towards Kozuki today, she couldn't understand what it was but she liked it.

Soon, the time began to pass as other teams started arriving as well.

Kakashi, Guy, Asuma arrived along there team members.

"What are you looking for Kakashi?" asked

Kozuki looking at Kakashi who looked around like searching for something.

"I'm looking for someone" said Kakashi as he was looking around hoping to find the person who caused that destruction.

"Who" asked Kozuki a bit curious who could make Kakashi so restless.

Kakashi narrated the whole matter to him about what he had seen before and after he was done, there was a strange silence in the air.

Kozuki, Kurenai and Shizune, the three of them had a strange expression on there face mix with surprise, guilt and embarrassment.

"What happened to you" asked Kakashi looking at there weird expression.

"Nothing we just thought of something, right? said Kozuki quickly looking at both Kurenai and Shizune who quickly nodded.

Kakashi felt something was wrong but he couldn't understand what as he finally ignored it and started looking around again.

Phew...

Kurenai sighed in relief seeing Kakashi ignoring them as Kozuki had told them to hide this matter.
