[Congratulations on completing the first template. Second template draw initiating.]

Reading the notification from the system, Yukan stopped swinging his sword and picked up a towel to wipe his sweat.

Yukan waited for two minutes but there was no change on the system screen.

"How long is this going to take?"

[13 more minutes]

"I'll do my running then," Yukan said and then started to jog around the ground.

After his jog was over, the notification finally changed.

On the system screen, different names were written on square boxes.

[Yami Sukehiro (Black Clover); Kenshin Himura (Kenshin Himura); Akame (Akame Ga Kill); Ra's Al Ghul(DC); Deadpool (Marvel)...]

"Alright. I guess Yami would be the best…" Yukan put his hand under his chin and said.

Nothing happened.

The square boxes then started folding themselves into chits and got collected in a bowl. When all the chits were collected, the notification changed.

[Host, extend your hand to continue]

Yukan extended his hand and finally, a bowl resembling the one in the system appeared in his hand.

Yukan understood what to do next without any further guidance so, he picked a chit from the bowl.

After Yukan picked the chit, the bowl disappeared. Yukan then proceeded to open the chit.

The chit read, [Teresa of the faint smile (Claymore)] (A/N: I'll tell about her later)

"Hmm, nice. There is some bad news too, right?" Yukan sighed and said.

[Yes. This template can start four years later]

Yukan laughed it off and then continued to do his training. His system somewhat now read,

-2 days later-

Somehow, the news that Yukan was going after Danzo had reached the ears of Danzo himself and a few more top ninjas.

Though it was known by a lot of ninjas, they did not intend to move without the Hokage's orders and Hiruzen had chosen not to interfere.

Danzo had somehow pursued the other two Konoha elders to support him and help him. The two elders still held some power and were able to send some ninjas to help Danzo.

Minato and Yukan sat on the sofa of their living room, talking to each other about their plan for the day.

"According to what I think, these are the two major bases of ROOT. Danzo would be in one of these but there will be an ambush ready for us in both.

No one is supporting us right now. The ones supporting us are Kakashi and Kozuki. Sensei and Master are out of Konoha right now. So, I'll go to the base in the forest, you go to the headquarters in the cave, I believe that Danzo will be there."

Yukan sipped on the drink in his hands and nodded. He believed in Minato's plans and assumptions.

There was no doubt that Minato's IQ was one of the highest. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to land a hit on Obito within five minutes of their battle.

"It's 1 p.m. right now, I think it would be best to go at night," Minato said.

"Yeah." Yukan got up from the sofa and walked outside the room.

-A few hours later-

Minato had left some time ago already and Yukan was about to leave too.

The moment he walked down the stairs, he saw Kushina.

"Why are you out of your home tonight? Don't you know what I am going to do? He may target you." Yukan said. He was getting angry that Kushina was out of her home.

"I-I just wanted to say, do it and come back safely. I'm sorry." Kushina looked down and said.

"I'll be safe, don't worry. Don't go out anymore, stay here tonight." Yukan hit his palm on his forehead and said.

He left the house and quickly jumped on a tree.

He jumped from tree to tree for a while and finally reached the higher ground in a forest.

He was sitting on the branch of three on the top of a small hill and a little far from him, he could see three guards with masks and robes standing in front of a cave's entrance.

The torches that were lit on fire helped spread light in the area.

"Now, what kind of ambush will be there?" Yukan said and disappeared and then appeared a little far away from the guards.

As he walked toward the guards, he could feel the presence of people increasing constantly but, he just walked without getting fazed.

Finally, Yukan killed the three guards easily. They had not even shown any resistance.

From the opposite side of the cave, Danzo appeared. Danzo just stood at a place and in a few moments, hundreds of ninjas in masks surrounded Yukan from all his directions.

"You will hide behind them?" Yukan looked in Danzo's direction and said.

Danzo giggled and said," I am just ensuring my safety."

"Whatever. I'm going to kill you today." Yukan said and took out both his swords.

He held the Crimson Rectus in his right hand and the Bantsukzi Sword in his left. As he was about to proceed to kill, he heard Danzo speak.

"Yeah? We'll see. I'll use this sword to cut your neck." Danzo said and showed off a sword.

"That… That is my father's sword. Why do you have it?" Yukan's face turned even colder as he continued to look at Danzo.

"Indeed. You are correct, this was the sword your father used. It was very difficult to take it from him, I had to kill him. *Sigh* He had almost killed off the whole ROOT from back then and even managed to injure me at my peak."

Yukan stopped giving him a reply and stayed quiet.

He started moving and instead of a human, what was visible to the ROOT puppets was a blur which went on cutting them.
