Naruto: The Template System

The backside of Konoha.

Rumble...

The lightning flashed as it ultimately revealed the terrifying sight.

The whole area was filled with potholes, pits, and numerous cut trees and branches.

Long slash marks dividing the ground could be seen everywhere.

Two figures could be seen standing at a bit of distance from each other amid the devastating battlefield.

"Without a Kekkai Genkai, you could reach this height; I don't know how you did it."

"Even Madara could never pressure me this much, but... I hope you can stop this Jutsu."

"No one has ever been able to stop this attack, be careful."

Hashirama looked at Kozuki, who stood in front with admiration.

Hashirama, who always believed that only with a Kekkai Genkai you can reach heights like him and Madara, knew now that he was wrong.

If you have a strong will (or a system), you can even surpass the greatest just with a sword.

This is what Hashirama learned long after his death today while fighting Kozuki.

Kozuki didn't have the time to be happy after hearing his praise as he could sense the situation on the side of Kushina was not good.

After dealing with the first Hokage and disposing of Orochimaru quickly, he needs to head there.

Hashirama brought his hands in front of him as blue chakra hovered around him.

"Sage art"

Black lines appeared on the face of Hashirama as the aura of oppression around him increased countless times.

Every capable Shinobi in the village was terrified as they could sense this chakra even vast than a Tail beast.

"Whoosh..."

Tobirama, who avoided the attack of Minato, suddenly stopped as he looked towards the back of the village.

"That guy was able to push big brother so far."

Tobirama, who was familiar with the chakra of Hashirama, could naturally guess that he had used sage mode.

He never expected that masked guy with a single arm to push Hashirama so far.

Tsunade and the rest also had a severe expression on their faces as they could also sense the terrifying chakra.

The fight stopped once again as the eyes of everyone were focused at the back of the village.

"Sage Art Shinsu Senju!!!!"

Konoha started to shake as they all saw a scene that they could hardly believe.

A Big Buddha thousands of meters high appeared with thousands of arms behind it.

"That's God of Shinobi Hashirama"

Minato looked at the Big Buddha in front of which even Nine-Tails looked like an ant in his memory.

He could now understand why Hashirama could catch all tail beasts single-handedly.

Hashirama, who stood in front of the giant Buddha, again made a hand sign.

The giant Buddha started to move, and thousands of hands slammed towards Kozuki.

Clink...

Kozuki put his sword back in the scabbard quickly and made single-hand signs.

"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu"

Poof...

"This..."

Hashirama was stunned by the sight in front of him.

Nearly thousands of Kozuki appeared in front of him.

"Thousands of Hands, then, what about Thousands of Slashes."

Kozuki said with a smile on his face under the mask, looking at Hashirama.

"You..."

Hashirama, who heard his words, seemed to guess something, but he saw an unbelievable scene before completing his remarks.

Swish...Swish...

All of the Shadow Clones quickly pulled out their swords and slashed towards the giant Buddha as a sound that could be heard clearly spread throughout the village.

"One Sword Style! Thousands of Slashes"

The terrifying wind pressure roared like a dragon, blowing away the dark rain clouds that had built up in the sky.

In front of the giant Buddha, thousands of red slashes about the same height as the Buddha appeared as they all seemed to cut open the space.

The whole dark sky turned red, and everyone present looked at the red sky in stupidity.

Finally, the slashes and the numerous Buddha hands collided as even the void seemed to split like a broken mirror.

Boom Boom

Booming sounds rang throughout the village as even wind storms appeared at the point of collision.

It was a sight of hell, red light, and the wood shards were everywhere, and even Minato and others were affected by the shock waves of the attack.

"Damn, this will destroy the whole village."

Tsunade cursed, saving herself from the fierce wind pressure.

Several big houses were uprooted, and one of them flew high and hit the stone face of Sarutobi, destroying it immediately. (hehe)

But no one had time to notice it since they were having a hard time saving themselves.

Finally, the shock waves caused by the attack began to weaken as, at the leading fighting site, a terrifying scene could be seen.

The Big Giant from before was nowhere to be seen.

"I never thought I would lose."

Hashirama had dust swirling around him as his whole right side had vanished as he lay in a pit looking at the rainy sky.

Poof...

All the Shadow Clones of Kozuki vanished as Kozuki finally sighed in relief.

Kozuki quickly moved towards him as Hashirama felt a shadow over him.

"Haha, If Madara knew that I lost to someone else than him, he would really have been angry."

Hashirama laughed, looking at Kozuki, who stood in front of him.

Kozuki looked at him wanting to see how fast he was recovering.

Kozuki noticed that the Hashirama was recovering, but the speed was too slow, maybe due to Haki.

Kozuki held Hashirama and put him on his shoulder.

Boom...

Putting force under his feet, Kozuki shot towards Minato and other's leaving a red trail in the air.

Minato and the rest who finally stood up since the fierce shock waves had stopped suddenly noticed something.

Boom...

A figure fell in the middle of them, destroying the ground underneath.

"He...won"

But when they saw the person, or more precisely Hashirama, on his shoulder, they all felt like they were in a dream.

Thud...

Kozuki threw the incapacitated Hashirama on the ground as he looked at the sealing squad.

"Seal him before he recovers."

Kozuki said to the sealing squad as they looked at Minato for confirmation, who after hesitating for a while, nodded.

The seal squad quickly got to work, and Hashirama was sealed soon.

"Just who are you!!!?"

Minato couldn't help but ask loudly as, just like him, everyone around him was confused.

If he was an enemy, then why did he help them.

"That day, was it really you?"

Sakumo came forward and looked at Kozuki with a complex expression on his face.

He didn't know whether he should hate this guy in front or not.

He was the one who saved his life, but he was also someone who killed a hero of Konoha.

Kozuki, under the mask, had a sad expression on his face after hearing everyone's question.

He desperately wanted to remove his mask, but the guilt of deceiving them made him unable to do so.

"Hehe, Shanks, you really went beyond my expectations. Even the First Hokage couldn't defeat you"

At this moment, silence on the battlefield was broken by the laughter of Orochimaru, who looked at Shanks with shock and curiosity

"But even if you have defeated the First Hokage, there is still someone who can fight you and might even beat you because just like you, he was someone who could make miracles."

Kozuki, who wanted to shut Orochimaru right away, suddenly stopped as he became curious about who he was talking about.

"Could it be?"

Kurenai, who heard Orochimaru's words, suddenly had a thought as her pupils shrank.

Orochimaru slammed his hands on the ground, and in the curious eyes of everyone around, two more coffins rose up from the ground.
