Naruto: The Template System

Konoha.

Death Forest Tower.

The empty hall soon started to fill as, after a day of wait by Kozuki and others, the second team finally arrived.

As the time kept passing the number of people arriving also kept increasing.

After another day passed, all of them passed candidates finally arrived.

At the start of the exam, there were 40 teams, but now only 8 teams were present.

It showed how tricky this exam was; Kozuki spotted the group of Naruto, Shikamaru, Neji, and Gaara.

As soon as Kozuki looked at Gaara, he seemed to feel his gaze.

Gaara had anger on his face when he saw Kozuki.

He couldn't wait to kill him and remove the humiliation that Kozuki inflicted on him in the dead forest.

"Stop it, Gaara."

Temari and Kankuro immediately stopped Gaara from attacking Kozuki.

They knew that Kozuki could have killed the three of them earlier, but he didn't.

Who knows would they be so lucky again if they provoke him again?

Temari and other's after waking up, started to hunt the scroll once again since there was taken by Naruto.

Gaara, in his anger, killed 5 teams himself, and then his wrath was eased slightly.

But they were also able to get the scroll they needed to pass the exam.

Gaara finally controlled his anger after hearing the words of Temari and Kankuro.

Suddenly the door of the hall was opened as Minato, along with Konoha Jonin, strode in.

"It's really a familiar sight."

Kozuki standing in a queue, saw Minato arriving with Tsunade, Sakumo, Jiraya, Kurenai, Kakashi, and the rest, can't help but remember the Chunin Exam years ago.

He was also standing here when Sarutobi had entered the hall along with Konoha Shinobi.

Minato stood in front of the lined-up contestants and congratulated them for passing the exam.

Soon after his speech, Minato announced the start of the knockout fights to decide the candidates for the final exam.

Kozuki, along with two Zetsu, stood in the stands as he watched the fights below.

Naruto, like the original, fought Kiba, but he defeated him quickly, not like the original.

Lee fought with Gaara but finally lost to him after an impressive effort.

Sasuke fought with the Zetsu, but due to the orders of Kozuki, Zetsu lost purposely, and even if Kozuki hadn't ordered him, he would not be able to defeat Sasuke.

After the fight with Sasuke, the names on the screen kept flickering, and soon two names appeared on the screen.

Aizen Sosuke vs Neji Hyuga

"Oh, this is interesting."

Said Minato looking at the name on the screen; he was a bit curious whether this heir of Hanzo really had the Strength, like Shisui said.

Hearing his name Kozuki arrived at the fighting stage with the same gentle smile on his face.

"It's that guy."

Naruto, who was standing in the stands, immediately recognized Kozuki.

"You know him, Naruto."

Shikamaru was curious, so he couldn't help but ask.

Naruto immediately told them about what happened in the death forest.

"You mean he defeated Gaara with a single move."

They were shocked beyond words, whether it was Ino, Hinata, or Shikamaru.

They have seen how strong Gaara is, but they couldn't understand what kind of Strength was required to defeat him with a single move.

"Now, I understand."

Kakashi, who looked at Kozuki on the stage, immediately understood why Kurenai and Shizune were sad that day.

He could also spot the familiar shadow of Kozuki in him.

"Could he be...?

Remembering the plot in a book he had read, an astonished expression appeared on his face due to the guess formed in his mind.

"What happened, Kakashi?"

Seeing the stunned Kakashi, Kurenai, who stood near him, couldn't help but ask and even Shizune leaned forward.

After hesitating for a while, Kakashi told them his guess, making Kurenai and Shizune angry but also somewhat doubtful.

"There's no way it's possible; it can't be true; he wasn't like this."

Kakashi guessed that he might be his child, but Kurenai and Shizune denied it or refused to believe it.

If Kozuki knew what rumors Kakashi was spreading about him, not caring for a single thing, he would have hacked him with his sword.

Fighting Stage.

"Give up"

As soon as Neji arrived on the stage, with an indifferent expression on his face, he suggested Kozuki to surrender.

"Why?"

Kozuki asked while pushing his glasses as the light was reflected in them.

"It's your destiny to lose; without that arm, you can't even touch me, so give up; no one can change their fate."

Neji, from the branch family, believed that fate could not be changed.

He, his father, and all the branch family members can't escape their destiny, and their life and death are always in the hands of others. (even if his father was alive, if your life is in the hands of someone, you will curse fate)

"Don't say such strong words; it'll only make you look weak."

Kozuki felt that he really had the talent to be an actor.
