Chapter 16: Chapter 16

Releasing another sigh, Kazuo felt like it had already become a habit of his with how things seemed to be going in this world for him.

Walking to the commander's tent, Kazuo gave a nod to the guard who returned it before he entered inside.

Shikaru was already awake and looking at the map.

The plan was for everyone to be awake before the hour was up and to start marching toward the pass.

"Good morning commander," Kazuo said as he gave the man a light bow before coming to stand at his side.

Shikaru merely nodded, his full concentration on the map.

"Is there anything wrong sir?" Kazuo asked the man curiously.

"The main problem would be if the Cloud sends less than fifty percent of their forces to the pass which would allow them to isolate us who were lying in ambush from both sides, that could spell doom for us," Shikaru said as he pointed to the location where the battle was going to take place.

Kazuo nodded his head whilst making a humming voice.

"I don't think they will do that unless we have a spy amongst us," Kazuo said causing Shikaru to give him a glance.

'Im not a fucking spy you bastard' Kazuo thought however he didn't show a change in his outward expression.

"And why is that?" Shikaru asked as a small smile crept on his face.

"It's because it would be too risky if we went with a full frontal attack then the first group of cloud ninjas would be completely annihilated and thus they would subsequently lose the second battle as well, ending the entire conflict with a total annihilation of the Cloud forces," Kazuo said as he took what was a stick and pointed at locations on the map as he explained his reasoning.

"You're not dull, that's the case however you have to always plan for spies when in times of war, that is the main reason why we planted the explosives so that we could reduce that small force even further into a small enough force that they would be annihilated in short notice," Shikaru said before turning around and heading to another area of the tent and grabbing what looked like his combat gear.

Kazuo looked at him surprised.

"You're going to participate in the battle as well? Isn't that illogical? If we lose our commander then the troops won't know who to follow and will thus suffer a massive morale drop." Kazuo asked Shikaru, he was genuinely curious about what the genius Nara clan member was thinking.

"That's true however we need to win this battle, the leaf is currently fighting on all sides and thus we have much fewer forces to work with, the only reason we are able to remain as the victors is because our high-end power is greater than the other villages," Shikaru said as he outfitted himself and fastened a ninja bag to his waist.

"If that's the case then I guess it makes sense, having you participate in the battle will give the troops a morale boost and allow them to follow your orders more closely in the case of an accident, as long as you don't fall in battle then its actually an advantage," Kazuo mumbled before nodding his head at Shikaru.

'I don't know if I would go to the battlefield if I was in your spot, at the end of the day the question turns into whether it would be more favorable for me to save my life or to win this battle at any cost' Kazuo thought as he stood to the side, patiently awaiting Shikaru's orders.

"Go outside and tell the guard to inform the captains of all squads to get ready, we will start the attack in half an hour."

'Half an hour? When he clearly told everyone yesterday that it would be an hour from now, he's trying to turn any information that could have possibly been leaked into something useless for the enemy?' Kazuo thought before nodding his head and going outside to inform the shinobi guard who quickly nodded and headed off.

Kazuo was already ready though he didn't really have much in terms of supplies that he could get ready and that would be useful when the battle began.

'I've already made three crumpled explosion tags, and fifteen paper shuriken, I don't have anything else to prepare, and gathering more supplies from the camp is hard considering the low supply they have, as a Gennin my rank in getting supplies is at the bottom of the barrel, at most I would be given normal kunai and shuriken.' Kazuo thought as he stood inside the commander's tent awaiting Shikaru.

Moments later the Nara commander gave him a nod and together they headed out, the whole shinobi squadrons were already waiting for them, armed to the teeth.

'It's time for another battle huh...' Kazuo thought as he stared at the hundreds of leaf shinobi standing before him, they all had steeled expressions, ready to go into what could be the final battle of their lives.

'War is unforgiving to the weak' Kazuo thought clenching his hand, his thoughts were more so meant for himself rather than the shinobi in front of him.

Chapter 17: Chapter 17

Shikaru went to the front and quickly gave his orders and in a matter of seconds, the entire shinobi army started running outside of the camp and toward the the passage through the mountains.

Kazuo had seen that it was labeled as the Kiyotsu pass on the map.

Other teams had already gone there before them in secret and planted the explosives and the anbu were already hidden around the area so that they could jump out and plow their way to the main camp of the Cloud in the event that the plan worked perfectly.

However, Kazuo was doubtful.

'The chances of there being a spy or just some uncontrollable variable that we can't do anything or don't know about is just too high in a foreign country' Kazuo thought as he ran next to Shikaru.

The two were in the middle of the group surrounded on all sides by shinobi.

It was the safest spot in the entire march, considering the enemy would have to face other shinobi first before getting to them no matter what side they chose for an ambush.

The run took about one hour, they took no breaks and Kazuo clearly felt his inferiority in physical ability when he looked at the other shinobi.

However, he couldn't stop running and so he pushed through though his lungs felt like they were on fire and he was completely drenched in sweat from the high-speed run.

Finally, at the Kiyotaka pass, the shinobi army quickly passed onto the other side.

'Everything seems to be going to plan for now' Kazuo thought as the whole hundred shinobi quickly arrived at the place where they would be hiding and waiting for the signal.

The signal in this case was the explosion of the entrance to the pass, it would make a loud enough sound that they would be able to hear it clearly.

Minutes passed, and the stress of the shinobi of the leaf started rising quickly alongside it.

Some had even started to pray before the battle, in hopes that god would save them during the upcoming battle.

'God is just a damn Alien whos obsessed with his kids, he won't do jack' Kazuo thought as he looked at the praying shinobi before releasing a huff of breath.

At this moment as the whole army stood in absolute silence.

They heard it, a deafening explosion before a large cloud of black smoke quickly rose up into the air.

"Everyone, head forward into battle, eliminate any enemies that you see!" Shikaru commanded with a loud voice, likely enhanced by his chakra so that everyone could hear him clearly.

At his words the shinboi quickly launched themselves onto the tree branches and started hopping from tree to tree, quickly closing in on the enemy location.

It merely took them a minute to arrive, in front of them were the decimated forces of the cloud however strangely their numbers seemed low.

Too low...

'That bastard actually predicted it' Kazuo thought as a smile overtook his expression.

"Quickly eliminate all of them, don't leave a single one of those bastards alive!" Shikaru's voice was once more heard before the leaf ninjas released loud battle cries and launched themselves directly into the face of the remaining ninjas.

The cloud shinobi looking at the large number of enemies sported lifeless expressions.

'Being abandoned by your own village and used as nothing more than a distraction, they are all most likely just Gennin' Kazuo thought with a sneer as he followed the shinobi and entered the fray himself.

All around him clashes of swords and the sound of lighting erupted.

The two forces had finally clashed with one another.

Looking around quickly, Kazuo found his first target, it was a young cloud ninja who was being teamed up against by two-leaf shinobi.

Forming one hand sign, Kazuo used his new technique.

'Earth Style: Hiding like a mole technique' Kazuo thought inwardly, burrowing himself underground quickly before he started to move toward where the cloud ninja had been.

His movement underground was quick, possibly even quicker than above it though he hadn't tested it out yet.

Arriving just behind the cloud ninja, Kazuo peeked his head above ground and saw that he was at the right spot.

Extending his arms above ground, Kazuo caught the enemy by the foot.

Surprise colored the cloud ninja's face as he looked down and saw Kazuo giving him a grin.

"See ya!" Kazuo said before he dragged his legs down and left him with only his upper body above ground.

The leaf ninjas didn't waste the opportunity and quickly reaped his life by launching dozens of kunai into his skull.

Moving a bit sideways, Kazuo headed back aboveground.

'I have no idea why this jutsu and the decapitating just are even differentiated. You can do the same things just using this.' Kazuo wondered for a split second before looking around to see if there were any enemies around him.

There were none, the cloud ninjas were all fighting for their lives with others, and even then, the majority of their forces had already been incapacitated or killed.

Crouching down, Kazuo quickly grabbed the cloud ninja's bag and tied it to his own waist before heading to another corpse.

He only stopped when he had five ninja bags tied to his waist, any more and they would lower his ability to move and slow him down.

'Ah they do say that war is the best time to earn money' Kazuo thought to himself before looking around once more, there were no cloud ninjas left.

The battle was over.

But the war wasn't as Kazuo looked to the north.

There, hundreds of meters away, a huge army close to theirs in numbers wall running towards them.

'Couldn't they just give up?' Kazuo thought though he knew that this desire of his was but a pipe dream.

Taking out a kunai from his bag, Kazui formed the academy stance, awaiting the enemy shinobi.

This was going to be the real battle.
