Naruto: The Template System

Chapter 161: Journey

Sigh...

"It seems I would have to wait for a while"

With a disappointed expression on his face, Kozuki put the time device in the system space.

Just now, when he wanted to go back to his time, the turtle spoke as it told him about the energy depletion.

They came back nearly a thousand years ago; such a vast time jump depleted a lot of energy of this device.

It would take at least some years for it to recharge completely, and only then can he go back to his timeline.

After putting the turtle away, Kozuki focused on his property panel.

Kozuki could feel that his strength had reached a level that no one, at least any character in his memory of Ninja World, was able to achieve.

To one shot Isshiki, Momoshiki, and Kaguya, the strength required at least Ninja World shouldn't have seen it before.

"50% already, huh"

Seeing the progress, Kozuki was slightly surprised, but he didn't feel any happiness about getting stronger.

The price he paid is too heavy, and the pain in his heart won't reduce even if he becomes strong.

Sigh...

Letting out a sigh again, Kozuki stood up as he went outside and saw the beautiful starry sky and the beautiful moon.

"I have divided the Ten Tails into nine beasts; I hope they can get along with humans"

Nine green magatamas were floating above the palm of Hagoromo, and inside it was cute newborn tail beasts.

"They are kind of cute"

Hamura found the sleepy orange fox really cute.

"Huh?"

At this moment, they heard the door opening sound and saw Kozuki with a mask on his face walking outside.

"I can see the determination in your eyes; it seems you have gotten over whatever you went through pretty quickly."

Hagoromo saw Kozuki arriving near them, and seeing the eyes of Kozuki through the mask, which didn't seem as lost as before, he knew he had gotten over it.

"Thank you for taking care of me"

Kozuki arrived beside Hagoromo and thanked him since he knew if Hagoromo wanted, he could have harmed him when he had fainted.

"We should thank you, because of your help we were able to seal mother quickly"

Due to Kozuki's involvement, they could seal Kaguya only after a half-month fight.

In the original, it took months before they could seal her, and it also damaged the land.

So they were grateful to Kozuki as, with his help, many lives were saved.

Kozuki smiled after hearing his words, and then his attention was shifted to the tail beast floating above the palm of Hagoromo.

"I have divided the chakra of ten tails into nine forms; Hamura said they are cute"

Seeing Kozuki looking at the tail beasts, Hagoromo, without any hesitation, told him.

Kozuki wanted to tell him that they weren't as cute as he had thought; in the later generations, they were feared, and no one would even dare think they were cute.

But he naturally won't tell him since he knew his small action could change the future altogether.

Kozuki, after coming here, also got the answer he wanted to know; funny, he has always been looking for himself.

Perhaps sensing Kozuki's strong aura, the tail beast inside the magatama woke up and looked at Kozuki and than a fearful expression appeared on their face.

Kyuubi even seemed to have some tears in it's eyes afraid of Kozuki, causing Kozuki to chuckle.

"Brother, I will look after mother; I leave this land to you"

At this moment, Hamura said to Hagoromo, who nodded as Hamura lightly tapped his scepter on the ground and turned into light moving towards the moon.

Before leaving, he lightly nodded at Kozuki, who waved his hand towards him.

Hagoromo also put the newly born tail beasts back in his body.

Next Day.

"Are you sure we can roam the world together?"

Hagoromo said to Kozuki, who stood holding a mask in his hands and wore a grey cloak above his purple shirt and black pants, and a sword with a green hilt was hung on his waist.

"Thanks for everything, but I'm sorry, I have to leave alone"

Kozuki didn't want to stay with Hagoromo anymore, as he didn't want history to be changed.

Hagoromo sighed after hearing Kozuki answer and didn't insist anymore.

"Wait, you didn't tell me your name"

Kozuki turned around and left, but he had just taken two steps before he heard the voice of Hagoromo.

Kozuki stopped and looking back towards Hagoromo, his lips rose up in a smile as he said

"Akagami Shanks!!!"

The fast wind blew as the grey robe of Kozuki fluttered in the air as Kozuki left while waving his right hand.

"Akagami Shanks, I remember you"

Hagoromo said with a smile as he saw the back of Kozuki finally disappearing from his sight.
