118 End of Second Exam

Konoha.

Hearing Kozuki's words, everyone thought that this gentle-looking kid was even more arrogant than Neji.

"So cool...:

To Ino and other girls, Kozuki acting like Aizen was particularly charming.

"Can I kill him?"

The eyes of Neji were cold as he looked at the Proctor for confirmation.

"Whatever"

The Proctor replied.

"I had given you a chance to surrender; now take your arrogance to death."

After getting the confirmation from the Proctor, Neji said with an indifferent expression on his face.

Kozuki did not speak and just smiled and pushed his glasses once again.

Whoosh...

Without any hesitation, Neji rushed towards Kozuki and quickly appeared in front of him.

The fingers of the bandaged right hand slammed towards Kozuki.

Facing his fierce and swift attack, Kozuki stayed still and calmly brought his index finger in front.

Kozuki easily deflected the attack with his index finger, but Neji didn't stop as his hands turned into afterimages attacking Kozuki continuously.

But the result was still the same as all it took was a single finger to block his attack.

"No wonder you are so arrogant; you have some strength, but all that ends now."

Neji took a stance as the experienced Shinobi like Tsunade and others immediately understood what Jutsu he was about to use.

Neji immediately arrived in front of Kozuki as his palm attached with blue chakra around it slammed on the chest of Kozuki.

2 palms

4 palms

8 palms

16 palms

32 palms

Continuous strikes fell on the chest of Kozuki, but Kozuki still had the same smile on his face, not affected in the least.

The ground under both Kozuki and Neji has been destroyed by the force of Neji's attack.

Finally, Neji spun as his palm fell on the chest of Kozuki as he shouted with all of his might.

64 Palms!!!

Boom...

The sound of the palm of Neji hitting the chest of Kozuki spread around.

After the dust caused by the impact dissipated, the sight of everyone became clear.

"This...How is this possible?"

Neji was having a hard time believing in what he seeing now.

He has sealed all chakra points of Kozuki, and the force of his attacks would have even reduced a boulder into pieces.

But Kozuki stood firm with the usual gentle smile on his face.

"That was a good massage."

Kozuki moved his muscles in comfort as the force of Neji's attack was just suitable for a massage.

Whether it was Minato, Kakashi, Jiraya, Tsunade, Kurenai, or others looking at the fight below, some memories from years ago can't help but flash in their minds.

"So familiar..."

Minato remembered the fight that occurred here years ago, the same absurd strength, the same calm expression, and the same mysterious air around him.

"Who are you..."

Kurenai said, looking at the kid in which she could see his shadow.

Neji was scared when he saw him unaffected by his most decisive attack for the first time in his life.

"I can see the fear in your eyes."

Pushing his glasses, Kozuki walked forward step by step towards Neji, and for the first time, he released his Reiatsu.

"Do not run from fear; fear is necessary for evolution."

The Reiatsu of Kozuki enveloped the whole hall, and Neji, who was the closest to Kozuki, suddenly fell down as his entire body was trembling.

"What's with this cold feeling? It's... just like death."

Everyone in the hall felt a chill as their hair stood up.

Shinobi, who have been in a life or death situation numerous times, remembered this sensation.

"Winner Aizen Sōsuke"

As Kozuki arrived just an arms distance from Neji, Neji couldn't handle the suffocating pressure and passed out.

The Proctor extinguishing the fear in his heart immediately announced the fight's result.

Walking back to his standing place, Shikamaru and others quickly gave way to Kozuki, letting him pass.

"I hope I won't fight this monster."

Shikamaru could only hope that his opponent in the third exam wouldn't be Kozuki.

But his wish didn't come true as his opponent for the third exam was Aizen.

Soon Minato announced the end of the Knock out round and the date of the third exam, which was a month later.

Kozuki, along with the two Zetsu, left the death forest and went back to his assigned residence.

_____________

Hokage Office.

At this moment, a meeting was taking place as all the famous names of Konoha were present in the room.

"What do you think about this Aizen Sosuke?"

Minato sat on the Hokage seat as he asked everyone about their opinion

"Sensei, he reminds me of someone."

Kakashi said as some sadness could be seen in his eyes.

"Yeah, that came out of the age strength, temperament, it's all like him."

Jiraya was familiar with Kozuki since his relationship with Kozuki was pretty good as he had once even given him the scroll of Mount Myoboku.

"No, he's different from Kozuki Kun; from his words, I can sense arrogance and disdain for this world."

Minato remembered the words of Kozuki, which sounded too arrogant to him.

Kozuki didn't know that his acting was so good that even Minato was fooled by him, as after returning from the forest, he started his daily template extraction task again.

No matter how strong he was, he still needed to complete the task of systems to increase his strength.
