Naruto: The Template System

Jiraya's Camp.

"We have been in a stalemate with the Stone since the start"

Jiraya along with Minato and Shikaku reported the current situation of the war with stone.

"Stone has the four and five tail Jinchuriki along with the front line commander Akatsuchi, even for me and Minato, it is difficult to fight the three together, but now that you are here we can deal with them separately"

The last three attacks due to insufficient high power, they were only in a passive situation which also caused massive causalities and huge loss.

"According to our scouts, the stone is preparing for another attack maybe in one or two days, we have buried explosive tags here and many other traps, but that will not be enough"

Shikaku beside pointed to the map informing Kozuki about there preparations against the stone.

"You can leave the five tails to me"

After listening to their report, Kozuki presented his help by dealing with the five tails.

"I'll take on the four tails, and Minato can deal with the rest"

Jiraya also chipped in as a complete battle plan was formed after there fierce debate.

"Remember, if the Jinchuriki fully transforms try to keep it away from the battlefield and deal with it separately"

Jiraya gave the final reminder as Kozuki left the Camp along with Minato.

"Have you gotten used to here Kozuki-Kun"

On their way back, Minato asked Kozuki about his time here.

"It's far better here then to stay with the cold Orochimaru-san"

Kozuki felt relieved here as here there was no danger of a snake attacking him suddenly.

"Haha, is that so"

Minato laughed as he had met Orochimaru and knew of the gloomy aura he excluded.

"Sensei, you have to train me this bastard Kakashi looks down on me"

As Kozuki and Minato were having a chat a large shout interrupted them and a person with large goggles on his forehead along with a girl with purple paint on her both cheeks and a masked-white hair kid arrived near them.

"Oh is that Kozuki what are you doing here, I heard that you defeated the Raikage's Son, is that true?"

Obito saw Kozuki beside his sensei and immediately asked about the rumours he heard about him.

When he heard the news that Kozuki had cut the tails of a tail beast and even defeated the Raikage's son, he along with Kakashi were surprised beyond words.

They have seen the tail-beast during the war and they knew how frightening it was but Kozuki who was the same age as them not only defeated it but also cut its tails.

"Haha, you look like you had a good time here"

Kozuki saw the cheerful Obito but didn't answer his question as he wasn't used to praise himself.

"Of course this Uncle is going to be the Hokage, how can I be scared from the war"

Obito immediately started to brag after hearing his words.

Ignoring this idiot, Kozuki looked at Kakashi and was surprised, he could feel that Kakashi's aura was a lot stronger then before comparable to a Jonin.

"Kakashi, it seems you are really working hard for your dream"

"Kakashi has indeed trained a lot if it wasn't for Rin to treat him, he could have damaged his body"

Minato beside explained and was also a bit helpless for his disciple.

"Kozuki I want to fight you again"

Kakashi looked at Kozuki and wanted to Know how big was the gap between them.

Later that Night Kakashi came to Minato's tent.

"Teacher Minato, please train me!"

Kakashi ran to the Minato, and requested him to train him.

"Is this really his disciple Kakashi?"

Minato couldn't believe it, looking at the boy with a bruised nose and swollen face.

The mask couldn't cover his swollen face, and there were circles of bruises on his eyes.

"Kakashi, what's wrong with you."

Minato looked at Kakashi in front of him, and couldn't help asking.

"Teacher Minato, please train me!"

Kakashi thought that a few minutes ago, Kozuki had not even taken the sword out of the scabbard, and he was brutally abused him with his bare hands.

"Okay! It's too late we will start tomorrow"

Seeing that Kakashi didn't want to say it, Minato didn't keep asking, but I guessed it was Kozuki

He couldn't help but sigh, he was so cruel even to his friends.

If it weren't for Kakashi's face mask, Minato would really not recognize that the boy in front of him was Kakashi.

But he really did not expect that Kakashi would lose so easily, he knew the strength of Kakashi, perhaps even an ordinary Jonin was not his opponent.

It can only be said that Kozuki is special and different after all.

Both Kakashi and Kozuki are of the same age and both are talented and Minato was happy that Kakashi had a rival that drove him to work hard.
