Chapter 138: Betrayal

Chapter 138: Betrayal

The Forest Outside Konoha.

"Phew, it's done"

Minato made a final seal as the black markings on the stomach of Naruto spun and then disappeared.

"Dad, is that big fox sealed in me?"

Naruto felt a little strange since a big living thing was suddenly inside his body.

"Worry not, Naruto, you will get used to it, and your mother will help you when she wakes up"

Minato encouraged Naruto and then turned around and looked at Kozuki as a sad expression appeared on his face.

"Kozuki Kun, what happened... that day, it was my fault, I should have seen his true face; I'm really sorry for what you had to go through."

"Please stop Minato San. I'm not innocent either, no matter what the reason I did kill a Hokage"

"I'm someone who has deceived you all for so many years, so the last thing I deserve is an apology"

"With my own hands I killed several innocents, so please don't pity me"

Minato, who wanted to say sorry to Kozuki, was stopped as Kozuki admitted every crime he did with a guilty expression on his face.

"You know Kozuki Kun, when I was young, my dream was always to be a Hokage, and perhaps that's why I was so naive that I couldn't see his true face"

"Kozuki Kun, on his orders, I killed quite many people, but now I wonder whether they were really guilty"

"We all make mistakes in our life, but rather than worrying about what you can't change, you should look ahead for the future"

"For the village's sake, you took the blame on yourself; you are a true Shinobi Kozuki Kun, I understand this, and I believe the rest will also"

Minato encouraged Kozuki as he hoped that his words could lighten depressed heart of Kozuki.

"Maybe no one is perfect after all"

Kozuki felt warm in his heart after hearing his words and finally sighed as today he learned that even a traverser with a system couldn't be perfect in all aspects.

Konan quickly got to work, but both of them suddenly heard a voice and saw Fukashi appearing there suddenly.

"Even you were defeated, Madara"

Seeing the panting Fukashi, Nagato asked, but he didn't seem to be much surprised.

Even he, a god, couldn't do much against Shanks, let alone Madara.

"Quickly, we have to leave before he finds us"

Fukashi's tone seemed impatient as he quickly arrived beside Nagato.

Nagato and Konan weren't wary of Fukashi since the situation made them unable to think deep.

"Ahhh..."

Fukashi, who arrived beside Nagato, suddenly attacked him and Nagato screamed in pain.

"You bastard..."

Konan roared towards Fukashi as she attacked him with her paper style.

"I would love to fight you, but I don't have time now"

Fukashi wasn't afraid of her attack, and after saying his last words, he disappeared.

"Nagato!!!"

Konan quickly checked his health but cried in despair when she saw his empty sockets.

Boom...

At this moment, the tree was ripped open, and a figure with red hair and donned in black haori appeared in front of Konan and the blind Nagato.

"Shanks!!!"

Konan roared in anger after seeing the betrayer.
