Naruto: Reborn with the Template System

Obviously, the protagonist's aura is really limited to the protagonist.

After getting the hacks given by the Sage of Six Paths, Naruto and Sasuke could break through from super Kage-level to Six Paths in one day.

Hinata and Hanabi obtained the inheritance of Ōtsutsuki Hamura, and it took four years to reach Kage-level successively.

Although it is extremely good among people of the same age, it is still a lot worse in comparison with those two guys.

"Guts, Sensei Minato asks you to meet him immediately. There's something very important."

Kakashi quickly jumped off the tree trunk.

Guts's expression shifted. He patted the heads of Hinata and Hanabi before leaving the death forest with Kakashi.

It had been nearly a month since Shisui's return.

In the past month, Akatsuki's actions had become very quiet, completely different from the high-profile style of capturing tailed beasts before.

Konan believed it was because the masked man had been nearly killed by Guts last time, so he was now hiding and adapting to the Rinnegan's power before attempting another move.

By the way, after Shisui returned, he was not allowed to restore his identity as a Konoha shinobi due to his sensitive position.

Instead, he temporarily assumed the identity once abandoned by Itachi and acted in a mask as the captain of the Anbu squad.

Guts knew that the day his student could unmask and live openly again was near.

After Guts left with Kakashi...

Hinata released Hanabi from her arms and said, "Hanabi, let's continue to practice."

Hanabi obediently left Hinata's arms. Before posing for battle, her white Byakugan eyes swirled playfully as she smirked, "Sister, do you miss that feeling?"

Hinata immediately turned red, clearly understanding what Hanabi meant. "Stop making trouble! Hurry up and practice, or Sensei will get angry."

Hanabi's small mouth pouted slightly, clearly not taking her sister's reprimand seriously.

Instead of heading to the Hokage's office, Kakashi brought Guts to the newly built enemy defense camp at the entrance of the village.

After all, whether Obito would choose to launch the Fourth Ninja War like in the original, or rush into Konoha like Pain to abduct someone, it was better to be prepared.

Just in case, Namikaze Minato had set up a new camp in the outer zone of Konoha Village to defend against any potential Akatsuki attack.

At this time, Namikaze Minato, Uzumaki Kushina, and Uzumaki Naruto's family of three were standing at the gate of the camp.

Alongside Naruto, Haruno Sakura, Team 10, and many other students had also gathered.

In front of them were two dark-skinned male and female ninjas, about the same age as Naruto.

There was also a blonde woman, slightly older, with a chest size that rivaled Tsunade's.

All three wore the Cloud Shinobi Village's forehead protectors.

"What the hell happened?" Guts stepped forward and asked.

"Eight Tails' Killer Bee was caught," Namikaze Minato explained. "It was Sasuke and Mist Shinobi's rogue, Hoshigaki Kisame."

Guts raised an eyebrow.

In the anime, Killer Bee was indeed 'captured' by Sasuke, but there was no Kisame.

Considering Sasuke's current team lacked Suigetsu, their combat power was clearly insufficient.

It was likely that Obito paired Sasuke with Kisame, Itachi's former teammate, to ensure the capture.

With Kisame's assistance, Killer Bee was likely truly captured this time.

Knowing this, Guts realized again how different everything had become from the original plot.

"Then what's with these three?" Guts asked, his gaze shifting to the Cloud Shinobi trio.

Namikaze Minato sighed, "Since Sasuke is still technically a Konoha ninja, and they didn't have a travel pass, I didn't receive them in the Hokage office."

"It's all because your Konoha couldn't keep your rogue ninja in check! Now Lord Killer Bee has been taken!" Karui, red-haired and furious, shouted.

Naruto, Sakura, and the others looked down in silence, unable to respond.

"This is such a mess. You really called me for this, Minato?" Guts looked annoyed.

Minato was taken aback. The Cloud Shinobi trio went quiet, despite their anger. Guts's reputation was intimidating.

"Alright then. Since you're blaming us... how about this? I'll eliminate Akatsuki. Then I'll personally fight your entire Cloud Hidden Village. Fair?"

Guts's words were shocking. Karui, Omoi, and Samui froze.

Start a war over a complaint?

Even Minato was caught off guard. "Guts, this—"

"What? You scared, Minato?" Guts cracked his knuckles. "Even without the support of the other nations, Konoha's current strength surpasses them."

"There's only one Kage-level ninja in the Cloud. If I move personally, I'll flatten the entire Lightning Country in half an hour."

Hearing that in a dead-serious tone made cold sweat pour from the Cloud trio.

They came for an explanation and nearly started a war.

Karui grit her teeth. "You can't be serious! Your rogue ninja took Lord Killer Bee and now you're threatening us!?"

"Weak countries don't get diplomacy, flat-chest girl." Guts waved her off.

"F-flat chest girl?" Karui's eyes bulged. Omoi often teased her like that and got punched.

But Guts? Not even in her wildest dreams would she dare.

"After Akatsuki's done, Cloud is next. Go home and enjoy temporary life while you still can."

With that, Guts turned to leave.

As the leader, Samui quickly stepped forward. "Please wait, Mr. Guts!"

Guts glanced back, meeting the eyes of the blonde, buxom beauty.

Samui bowed. "Please forgive my team's rudeness. We're here to deliver Lord Raikage's message. He invites the Hokage to attend the Five Kage Summit in the Land of Iron."
