"Who are you human, why do you have his power?"
Kyuubi lay motionless in the pit as it looked at Kozuki with fear and some confusion in his eyes.
"What are you talking about?"
Kozuki who heard his words was shaken as he suddenly remembered what Kokuō had said about his Swordsmanship long ago.
Due to war and him being busy he forgot about that matter but after hearing the words of Kyuubi he suddenly remembered it.
"It seems you don't know him, but you are definitely his descendant"
Kyuubi even if it was injured could easily see the confusion in the eyes of Kozuki.
As Kozuki was about to ask further he noticed several aura approaching so he stopped and didn't ask any further.
"This... is Nine Tails!"
Sakumo along with Sarutobi arrived and saw the condition of Kyuubi in the pit and couldn't help but be shocked.
Nine Tails, a monster which even the first Hokage had to seal due to it's massive power was lying motionless less on the ground with it's size nearly half as before.
"Kozuki... You..."
Sakumo didn't know what to say as words were stuck in his mouth as he kept looking at Kozuki with shock and admiration.
"Damn, Danzo, what mess have you gotten me into"
Sarutobi behind cursed Danzo and was sweating profusely as his fear for Kozuki increased several points more.
"The Kyuubi is no longer under control and it won't be able to move anymore, all that left is for Lord Hokage to return"
Kozuki didn't care for the shocked expression of everyone and told the current situation of Kyuubi to everyone.
He was already having a headache thinking of who that person was which Kyuubi talked about.

"Damn!"
Boom...
Fukashi disappeared from his place as a Rasengan appeared where he just stood bombarding the ground.
Minato looked at Fukashi who once again escaped his attack and his eyes showed worry.
"Damn! how is he so strong"
Fukashi was annoyed as he never expected Minato to Know Sage Mode.
With the perception of Sage Mode and his own reaction ability, Minato had the upper hand in the fight.
"If only I could use Susanoo"
Fukashi hasn't mastered his eyes to the point where he could use Susanoo otherwise with it's defense he didn't need to be so wary of Minato.
Though frustrated, Fukashi throwed these thoughts out of his mind as he knew he couldn't afford to be careless and focused on Minato in front.
"Aren't you worried for the Village, Kyuubi might have destroyed it already"
Fukashi decided to use this method to provoke Minato so that he would make a mistake.
"You don't need to provoke me, Kozuki Kun and the rest are enough to deal with Kyuubi"
Minato knew that the person controlling Kyuubi was in front of him so to save the village he had to defeat him.
Fukashi who was about to attack once again suddenly stiffened as his face under the mask had a shocked expression.
His connection with Nine Tails was suddenly broken.
"You let your guard down"
a voice fell in Fukashi's ears who was distracted and wanted to move away but it was already too late.
A Kunai suddenly penetrated his abdomen and a hand touched his stomach as black markings covered him completely.
"With this, Kyuubi is no longer yours"
Minato didn't know that Kyuubi was already free and his sealing Jutsu had no effect at all.
"Damn! Hokage!!!"
Fukashi jumped back keeping a distance from Minato as he held his stomach from where blood was constantly pouring down.
"I'll be back one day"
Fukashi knew that his plan had failed so he immediately disappeared planning to take revenge in the future.
"It's time to go back"
Minato at this time was already quite exhausted and didn't care for Fukashi who ran away and immediately disappeared returning to the village.
Minato who appeared on the great stone faces immediately noticed the clouds of dust at the back of the village and he rushed towards that place.

At the battlefield
Kozuki stood along with Sakumo and Sarutobi as they waited patiently for the return of Minato.
"He's here"
Kozuki noticed some movement immediately as the next moment Yellow Light flashed and Minato appeared in front.
"Where's Nine Tails"
Minato arriving only saw the destroyed area but saw no shadow of Kyuubi, so he asked Kozuki and other's who stood in front.
Sakumo didn't say anything but he pointed towards the deep pit.
Minato looked in and saw Nine Tails which had shrunken a lot.
"This..."
Minato didn't know what to comment on the sight in front.
"I think it's time to seal Kyuubi, Lord Hokage, Kushina san might not last long"
Kozuki reminded the stunned Minato about Kushina who was still in a situation of life and death.
"Huh...Yes"
Minato suppressed the doubt out in his mind and immediately disappeared and soon returned with the tired Kushina in his hands.
Due to Kyuubi being injured there was no problem in sealing it back as Kushina also preserved her life and immediately hugged Minato after waking up.
"I finally changed something"
Looking at the happy couple in front, Kozuki smiled also as he knew that he had changed the destiny of one of his closed friends.
"Thank You, Kozuki Kun"
Minato and Kushina were really grateful to Kozuki otherwise without his help even if they subdued Kyuubi they won't be able to seal it back.
Kushina was too weak at that moment and she wouldn't have been able to handle that much power of Kyuubi, but due to Kozuki injuring Kyuubi, it's power had weaken a lot and they were able to seal it easily.
"Please don't embarrass me, as a ninja of the Village it was my duty"
Kozuki still wasn't used to such praise so he was a bit embarrassed
After sealing Kyuubi, the long night finally came to an end as with Kozuki's power, Konoha evaded a disaster.
