Naruto: The Template System

Konoha.

Boom...

The whole Konoha was in a state of chaos.

Explosive sounds rang throughout the village, and the villagers were running around in panic.

"How dare you attack the village!!"

A Konoha Shinobi attacked White Zetsu in anger, but he was overwhelmed by numerous White Zetsu.

"Hurry up, this way."

Kushina, along with Naruto and other Genin, was evacuating the civilians to a safe underground place.

"They are just too many."

Shikamaru, who defeated a White Zetsu, said in annoyance.

Neji and others were also fighting to stop the White Zetsu from reaching the underground shelter.

Shikamaru and others were led out of the fighting square by Shisui and Itachi and were ordered to protect this emergency shelter.

Kushina, at this moment, had anger on her face, and she couldn't wait to go and attack those bastards of Akatsuki.

She knew they were here to capture her, and it made her angry to think that so many people were dying because of her.

"Die, you bastard."

Naruto attacked a Zetsu who tried to strike a civilian and ripped his head off, but suddenly the Zetsu who had his head cut off disappeared, and a person wearing an Orange Mask on his face appeared.

"Who __."

Naruto was caught off guard by the sudden appearance of Fukashi, and before he could complete his words, his neck was held tightly, and he groaned in Pain.

"Naruto!!!"

Seeing Naruto caught, Kushina yelled and immediately rushed towards Naruto, trying to save him.

"Stop; otherwise, your son will lose his life."

Fukashi threatened the advancing Kushina and put some power in his grip, causing Naruto to groan even more.

"It's you again, Coward."

Kushina stopped immediately but cursed Fukashi as she recognized him.

"Kushina san"

At this moment, Kakashi and Kurenai also arrived at the fighting sight.

Kakashi and Kurenai wanted to attack Fukashi, but they stopped immediately, seeing Naruto taken as a hostage.

"It's up to you now, your son's life or yours."

Fukashi didn't beat around the bush and gave Kushina a hard choice.

Everyone who heard his word was angry but was helpless also.

Kushina keeping her head down, struggled for a moment, and finally, a weak smile appeared on her face as she moved towards Fukashi.

"No... Mom"

Naruto knew immediately that his mother wanted to sacrifice herself, but Fukashi put more force, shutting him up.

"Let go of Naruto."

Kushina arrived in front of Fukashi as she seemed to have given up completely.

Fukashi was still somewhat credible as he put one hand on the shoulder of Kushina and let Naruto go.

Before Kakashi and others could make their move to stop Fukashi, he disappeared along with her.

The Forest Outside Konoha,

"Why are we running Baki Sensei?"

Temari asked while looking at Baki, who was in front as they leaped from tree to tree moving forward.

Beside her were Gaara and Kankuro, who were equally confused.

Baki quickly informed them about Akatsuki, who was here to capture Gaara, and he was ordered to take them away.

"Universal Pull"

The four of them suddenly heard a voice, and an irresistible force pulled Baki.

"Puff..."

"Baki Sensei"

Temari cried as she was horrified by the sudden change and the sight in front.

A black rod had passed through the heart of Baki, who coughed blood and wasn't able to breathe anymore.

Tendo Pain flicked his hand, threw Baki like garbage, and pointed towards Gaara and others.

"Universal Pull"

Like before, Gaara and others were also pulled forward, but the sand saved them from the black rods penetrating their hearts.

"Who are you?"

Gaara jumped back, keeping a distance from Pain as he inquired about his identity.

Behind Tendo Pain, Fukashi holding Kushina, appeared but was immediately attacked by Kushina's Fists.

Fukashi jumped backed avoiding her attack, and arrived beside Tendo Pain.

Seeing him avoiding her attack, Kushina snorted but jumped back as she looked at her surroundings.

Feeling the massive chakra from Gaara and his headband made Kushina guess that he was the Jinchuriki of 1 Tail.

"Rinnegan"

Kushina, who saw the eyes of Tendo Pain, was baffled.

She has heard about the legend of the eyes of Sage of Six Paths, but she never thought the legend was true.

"He should be Akatsuki Leader."

Kushina quickly guessed the identity of Pain since only someone powerful, having Rinnegan, can control so many strong Ninja.

"This place isn't too far from Konoha; we need to capture them quickly before the reinforcements arrive."

Fukashi couldn't perform long Teleportation with Kushina beside him, whose chakra was so massive, and he needed to concentrate also on long Teleportation.

So in a hurry, he could only teleport about 3 or 4 Kilometres away from Konoha.

"I'll capture 9 tails; you deal with 1 Tail Jinchuriki."

Pain said to Fukashi and waved his hands as shadows flashed behind him.

Whoosh...

"How is this...?"

Kushina saw that five figures wearing the same robe as Fukashi and Pain arrived near Tendo Pain.

But the cause of her surprise was the Rinnegan that all of them had.

Nagato didn't give her much time to think as he manipulated the puppets to attack her.

Fukashi also attacked Gaara as an intense battle started.
