142 141 Pure Gold

Konoha.

The sun's golden rays passed through the curtains fell on the bed on which two figures holding each other were asleep.

Due to the sudden light that fell on him, Kozuki's eyelids trembled as he opened his eyes the next moment.

Kozuki sat up, and after staring blankly at the ceiling for a while, he stood up and went to take a shower.

After washing, Kozuki took out a dark purple Kimono and wore it quickly.

After carefully covering the tired Kurenai with a quilt, Kozuki went down and made breakfast.

After making breakfast, Kozuki took it back to his room and saw that Kurenai was already awake and was wearing her clothes.

"Are you fine?"

Seeing her standing, Kozuki asked in worry since they were really wild last time.

"Don't underestimate me; I'm one of the strongest medical Ninja"

Kurenai quickly combed her hair and sat on the bed as Kozuki also sat down beside her as they started to eat their breakfast.

"What are you going to do now?"

While eating, Kurenai asked Kozuki curiously about his future plan.

"There is a place that I need to go, maximum I will leave after 3 months"

After Kyuubi's words confirmed his guess, Kozuki wanted to go to that place, but before that, he wanted to see whether Akatsuki would reappear.

He would destroy them immediately if they did, but he wasn't expecting much since he knew Fukashi wouldn't reveal himself quickly after seeing his strength.

He would wait for the best time and then strike again.

Kozuki actually wanted to inform Minato about the Akatsuki, but now that Nagato was caught, he didn't need to.

Minato was busy managing the reconstruction of the village; a lot of the area of the village was damaged during the attack.

Nagato was now in the interrogation department, and Kozuki knew that the darkness in the heart of Nagato was eliminated at that last moment.

Nagato would definitely reveal everything he knows about the Akatsuki.

With his status as a student of Jiraya, he might be released after being locked for a few years, and it might be the same for Konan.

Kurenai, who heard about him leaving soon, was sad for a moment but finally accepted it as she knew that Kozuki was doing all of this for their peaceful future.

She has seen what Akatsuki can do, and if it wasn't for Kozuki, Konoha would have been destroyed for sure.

"Take care"

Kurenai said as she stood up and wanted to leave for the hospital.

Too many people were wounded in the attack, so it was her responsibility to treat them as one of the best Medical Ninja.

"Wait a minute"

But before she could go, Kozuki suddenly stopped her.

In the confused eyes of Kurenai, Kozuki took out a Shining Golden Ring with beautiful patterns molded on it.

"This..."

Seeing the ring, Kurenai was stunned, but her eyes became a little wet the next moment.

"Bring your hand forward"

Kurenai brought her right hand in front of Kozuki, who gently put the ring in her ring finger.

After putting the ring on her finger, Kozuki looked up, but his face became tense when he saw tears in her eyes.

"What Happened__"

Kozuki stood up and asked what happened but stopped suddenly as his lips were blocked and his neck was hugged tightly.

"Finally, you Idiot"

After a minute or so, Kurenai finally let go of his lips, and with a smile on her face, she said something Kozuki couldn't understand and dashed outside.

Kozuki behind was left stunned, and after thinking for a while, he finally understood everything.

He just wanted to give her a ring made of Pure Gold, but it seems she took it as a proposal ring.

But Kozuki wasn't a fool to clear this misunderstanding, as he knew he would be killed by Kurenai for sure if he told her his original intentions.

"Sigh..."

As if accepting his fate, Kozuki sighed and then left his house and decided to stroll around the village since he had nothing left to do now.

The whole village was under reconstruction now as the sound of a hammer striking on the wood was heard everywhere.

"Kozuki Sama!!!"

Kozuki met a lot of civilians who were excited to see him.

"Huh"

Suddenly Kozuki stopped and then strode toward his right as he sensed a few familiar chakras'.

"Itachi, say should we go and meet Sensei?"

Shisui asked Itachi since he couldn't wait to meet Kozuki.

"But he might be busy, you know, returning after so many years, he has a lot to report to Lord Hokage"

Itachi didn't want to bother Kozuki, even though he wanted to meet him also.

"You haven't changed a bit, Itachi, you still think too much"

Suddenly both of them heard a voice as they turned around and saw Kozuki looking at them with a smile on his face.

"Sensei"

Itachi and Shisui didn't expect to see him so suddenly, so they were surprised.

_____________

"It seems that the hatred inside Uchiha has finally been removed"

Kozuki, along with Shisui and Itachi on his left and right, walked through the streets of Konoha; Shisui told him about what had happened these years.

"Sensei, most of the Clan members, hated Danzo; their anger had quelled a lot with his death"

"Though some rebels were left, Itachi and I dealt with them secretly"

Shisui mentally had grown a lot during these years, and he knew rather than depending on others, he had to take actions himself to correct the Uchiha.

In the original, due to being naive, he told Danzo and Sarutobi about Kotoamatsukami, but now he could see who was worthy of his trust.

"Shisui, has your eyesight gotten weak?"

Kozuki suddenly remembered that Shisui had awakened Mangekyo quite a lot earlier, so he wanted to know about it.

"How do you know Sensei?"

Shisui was surprised at how Kozuki knew about it.

Lately, his eyesight is getting weaker, and even using the Basic Sharingan, his eye's hurt.

Kozuki quickly told him about the side effects of using Mangekyo Sharingan, which he told them he learned from the guy who calls himself Madara.

"Sensei... Cough... Cough..."

Itachi, who also heard his words, wanted to tell Kozuki that he had Mangekyo too, but suddenly he coughed fiercely, and blood also leaked out from his mouth.

"Itachi"

Seeing him coughing blood, Shisui cried in horror as he quickly went forward to check him.

"I'm all right"

Itachi waved his hands, explaining he was fine as he wiped the blood from his mouth.

"You are ill, Itachi"

Itachi, who wanted to hide, was busted by Kozuki, who knew from the original that Itachi had a disease.

"Why didn't you tell me, Itachi?"

Shisui was angry as he knew Itachi must have hidden it from everyone.

Though he knew Itachi didn't want to worry everyone, his friend being ill and being kept in the dark made him angry.

"Don't worry, I have a way to solve both of your problems"

At this time, Kozuki spoke as he assured them both.

Kozuki looked around and after confirming that Kurenai wasn't near, with a single thought, in the unbelievable eyes of Shisui and Itachi, two shining rings appeared in his hand.
