Chapter 146: Defeat
Konoha.
Third Training Ground.
"I give up"
Shisui raised his hands in surrender after seeing the blade near his neck, but his eyes had an absolute shock in them.
From the start, he knew that he wasn't the opponent of Kozuki, but he had at least hoped to give him a tough time.
With the ring that Kozuki gave him, he could feel that his eyes were strengthened a lot, increasing his confidence.
He knows how strong the defense of Susanoo is but it being torn apart like paper was something he never had expected.
Kozuki took the blade back as his gaze fell on Itachi, who seemed to be planning something.
In the palms of Susanoo, three spinning tomoe with orange aura around them appeared as Itachi controlling the Susanoo, threw them towards Kozuki.
"Yasaka beads!!!"
Kozuki's expression remained the same after seeing the Yasaka beads, but he silently increased the output of Conquerors Haki coating his blade.
The red crackling lightning around the blade of Kozuki increased as Kozuki rushed towards Itachi.
Boom...
Kozuki's blade quickly cut apart the huge Yasaka beads as massive air pressure was generated, and on the whole third training, ground cracks appeared everywhere.
Itachi, stunned by the failure of Yasaka beads, couldn't bring his shield forward quickly to block the attack of Kozuki, who had appeared in front of him.
Just like before, the Susanoo has easily ripped apart, and the blade was placed on the neck of Itachi.
"Sigh..."
"You're too strong, Sensei"
Itachi also raised his hands in surrender as he was totally helpless against Kozuki.
Like Shisui, he had at least hoped to give him a tough time, but the reality was cruel.
"Itachi, you didn't use your full strength, and the same goes for you, Shisui"
Kozuki knew that Itachi and Shisui hadn't used their most potent attacks on him, and he could understand why.
Both of them would be afraid of hurting him unintentionally as their trump cards were hazardous.
Totsaka Blade and Kotoamatsukami were naturally something they couldn't use in a spar.
"Wow, that was amazing, Uncle Red Hair"
At this time, Naruto ran over as he looked at Kozuki with admiration.
Sasuke was sad to see Itachi lose, but when he heard Kozuki mentioning that Itachi didn't use his full strength, he cheered up once again.
"Sigh..."
"Didn't I mention not to overdo it?"
Kakashi arrived beside Kozuki, and looking at the devastated Training Ground, he couldn't help but complain.
"Haha..."
Kozuki, Itachi, and Shisui laughed a bit, embarrassed as they forgot his warning due to that exciting fight.
"Forget it"
Kakashi shook his head as he knew there was no point in talking to them, and he had to remake the Training Ground using earth style himself.
Kakashi quickly got to work as Kozuki, and the rest also helped him, and by the evening, with the help of Ninjutsu, the training ground was remade.
"Ok, let's go eat ramen, it's my treat"
"Yes!!!"
After the hard work, Kozuki invited everyone to ramen as Naruto, and the rest of the Genin cheered.
"Everything seems to be back to the way it was"
Even Kakashi had a smile under his mask after seeing the happy faces of everyone around.
After so many years, Kakashi once again felt the same worry-free feeling.
Kozuki took everyone to the Ichiraku Ramen, which had been rebuilt, and with some jokes from his previous life, he made the atmosphere even more cheerful.
"Don't you dare"
"But I want to"
"Drink the Juice"
Naruto, who wanted to drink soju, was stopped by Kakashi as he handed him a glass of Juice, who made a funny disappointed face.
"Haha..."
Everyone around laughed, and even Kozuki remembered that years ago, he was stopped the same way by Shinku.
"See you again, Lord Kozuki"
"Good Bye, Sensei"
After the festive dinner, everyone said goodbye to Kozuki and went home.
Kozuki also quickly arrived and met Kurenai, who had returned from the hospital.
"Welcome Back"
Kurenai welcomed Kozuki like a newlywed wife who smiled as he liked this feeling.
"I don't know why, but I didn't feel tired at all the whole day
After the night activities, Kurenai, lay beside Kozuki, and told him about her today's experience.
"Maybe it's due to our night exercise"
Kozuki joked back as he didn't plan to tell her the real reason.
Eventually, she will find it one day, so he didn't want to spoil the fun.
"You and your dirty mind"
Kurenai gave him a blank stare and then found a good spot for her head on his chest and asked curiously.
"Say Kozuki, if we have a child, what are we going to name it"
Kurenai was absolutely sure that it would happen sooner or later due to the intensity of their activities.
"Hmm, a child?"
Thinking of being a father, a strange feeling appeared in the heart of Kozuki, but he kind of liked it.
"If it's a boy, then Kozuki Renji, and a girl, then Kozuki Rukia"
"Hmm, Renji and Rukia sounds good"
Kurenai liked these names, but she didn't know that far away in another dimension, two people suddenly sneezed.
Kurenai kept muttering the names, and soon, she fell asleep with a smile on her face.
Kozuki caressed her hair gently, and soon his eyes also fell heavy, and two people holding each other fell asleep.
