Stopping for a moment to calm his emotions down once more, Kauzo started thinking as he stared at the new quest.
'I can just not do it however, I want the rewards, they would increase my chances of passing a large hurdle down the line by quite a lot considering that each jutsu gained by the system is already mastered, and with the two small stat upgrades I could get my chakra to chunin level which would increase my overall power by leaps and bounds.' Kazuo thought as he quickly analyzed the situation he had fallen in.
'How do you kill someone that's that damned fast though?' Kazuo thought to himself before his eyes lit up a moment later.
'That kid was someone important, I could use him' Kazuo thought before getting up from his bed and geared up before heading to the commander's tent.
Following everything he had done in the previous loop, Kazuo found himself back in the middle of the battlefield with a kid charging toward him with the intent to kill.
Just like last time, Kazuo dragged half his body underground before however the difference was that Kazuo used every single explosion tag he had on the kid and stuck them to him in places neither he nor Ochioke would be able to see. Kazuo had even taken the explosion tags that were tied to kunai and used them.
Finishing the job quickly, Kazuo headed back above ground before taking the short sword he had gained from killing the cloud ninja back at the leaf camp and severing the young kid's arm from his shoulders.
"Aarrghh"
The cloud ninja released a loud scream as tears dropped from his eyes at the immense pain of having his arm cut.
'This is nothing you crybaby bastard' Kazuo thought remembering his unfortunate turns for but a split second before he quickly jumped backward.
In the next instant, Ochioke appeared next to the small kid.
"Are you alright Hikari? It's ok, we will bandage the wound and you won't die" Ochioke said as he quickly ripped a part of the bandages that he had tied to his arm and offered them to Hikari.
Kauzo didn't stand still and simply watched them as he knew that after they were done, Ochioke would come and kill him instantly and so he started the second part of his plan.
Taking out two crumpled explosion tags, Kazuo screamed at the cloud duo before throwing them.
"Die you cloud scum," Kazuo said before making the rat seal and starting to activate the explosion tags.
'The problem with the ambush I had planned was that the tags make a sizzling sound just before exploding and thus to remove that weakness I'll throw other tags at them to make them think that those are the only explosion tags.' Kazuo thought and his plan worked.
Perfectly at that Ochioke took Hikaru in his arms and jumped away, at that moment as they were running from the crumpled tags that didn't hold much power.
It happened.
A large explosion was heard all over the battlefield, causing quite a couple of shinobi to turn their heads happened.
*Boom*
[ Ding! ]
[ User has completed a Quest! ]
Kazuo had a large bloodthirsty smile on his face as he saw the two charred bodies drop to the floor.
And then Kazuo turned to the cloud shinobi before shouting in a loud voice.
"Is that all you cloud scum, I, a mere Gennin of the leaf just killed your Jonnin, just go to hell you weak fuckers"
Kazuo's words reverberated even in the chaos that was on the battlefield, being heard clearly by each shinobi.
For a moment there was no response before the entire cloud ninjas face turned to ones of rage as they shouted curses and profanity of all kinds toward Kazuo.
Meanwhile, the leaf ninja felt invigorated, they felt like their spirits were about to burst.
"Kill these weak bastards," Kazuo said once more with the same loud voice, almost as if he were the very commander of the battlefield.
A moment after, loud cheers and battle cries were released out of the leaf shinobies mouths as they increased their assault on the cloud ninjas, putting them on the back foot.
The situation looked grim for them.
A moment later, Kazuo who had shouted saw three cloud ninjas heading toward him, venom clearly seen in their eyes.
"Ah, sorry but I don't want to fight, maybe another time?" Kazuo said with a smile before forming a single-hand sign and heading underground before running to the back of the leaf side of the battlefield and resurfacing once more above ground.
Looking around, Kazuo saw that Shikaru was back here as well, giving constant commands to the shinobi.
Turning his head to Kazuo, the man gave a nod before simply saying two words.
"Good Job"
And then he turned around once again.
The fight continued on though the danger that Kazuo faced had lowered substantially and in the next minute or so, it became practically zero.
Three teams of Konoha Anbu joined the fray, they had already completed their mission as the Hawk came to Shikaru to give his report.
"We have eradicated everyone inside the cloud camp, these are the last shinobi remaining sir," Hawk said as he kneeled on one knee before the commander.
"Good job, join the battle, and let's end this quickly and return back to camp," Shikaru said as a smile overtook his expression at the good news.
'An overwhelming victory' Kazuo thought as he looked at the battlefield after hearing Hawk's words.
'Isn't the leaf village just too busted damn it? They have the Uchiha, Senju, Hyuga, and Nara. Isn't that just too much, just what was the author of Naruto smoking' Kazuo thought however his smile only grew larger and larger.
'Ah, I have to milk them for as much as they are worth, everything they have, I won't even leave crumbs behind so don't disappoint me Konoha' Kazuo thought.

The rest of the battle didn't take longer than three minutes, with the Anbu which were all at least elite chunin level in power, the cloud really had no way of winning.
Their morale had already dropped down and so had their numbers, and in three minutes, none remained alive.
A complete and utter annihilation.
'And these are the men that are considered the good guys, the heroes. Don't make me laugh, a killer is a killer, there's no good in one' Kazuo thought as he sneered inwardly at the scene before him.
Kazuo had always been an avid reader and fan of the Naruto series however he had much preferred the light novels when in comparison with the manga and especially the anime.
The process after defeating the group was swift, the leaf quickly headed to the Cloud main camp and looted everything inside whilst Shikaru took any valuable information that could be taken before the whole group turned around and headed back to the Leaf main camp.
This time it would be more tiring and chakra intensive as they all had to climp up the steep mountain to get through to the other side as they had collapsed the passage.
However, with everyone's morale high and joy seeping through their bodies, the journey was considered light and not tiresome at all.
They knew that with them having defeated the entire cloud, most of them would get a vacation to go back to the leaf for a week and maybe even 2 weeks if they were lucky.
'I don't think that bastard Shikaru will just let me get out of his grasp however' Kazuo thought as he looked at Shikaru who was walking in front of him.
'Should i just eleminate him and make it look like an anbu from the cloud did it?' Kazuo thought for but a moment before showing a self loathing smile.
'As if I can even touch him, I would die before I could even see his face with all the anbu around to protect him.' Kazuo thought.
The journey took a while but before night had fallen upon the world, they returned to the camp once more.
Sharing the great news with the other ninjas who had been left behind to protect the camp.
That didnt mean that there was no sadness however as a lot of people had lost their comrades and would most likely shed tears tonight when they were alone in their tents.
War was never joyful for the weak, it was only a repeating cycle of pain and sadness that fueled hatred.
Kazuo quickly excused himself from the others and headed back to his tent, he had something else to deal with.
Once inside his tent, Kazuo quickly opened the system menu and clicked on the Quests tab.
[ Quests ]
[ Kill Ochioke, Jonnin of The Hidden Cloud ]
[ Reward: Two Minor Stat Upgrades, One B-Rank Random Jutsu. ]
[ Claim ]
Quickly pressing the claim button at the bottom of the holographic page, Kazuo saw a new pop-up appear before his eyes.
[ Quest Reward has been Claimed ]
[ Rewards are being given out! ]
[ 1%... 56%... 98%... 100% ]
[ User has been given the B-Rank Jutsu ]
[ Summoning: Lightning Flash Blade Creation ]
'What the hell is that?' Kazuo thought before a flood of information was transferred directly into his mind, granting him another headache.
A few minutes later, the pain going through his mind finally calmed itself down and he was able to reveiw the information he had been given.
'So its Sasuke's technique that he used against itachi, by inscribing seals onto any paper or clothes then you can summon them instantly by placing your finger on then and using a small fraction of chakra, this allows the user to summon weapons instantly, its useful' Kazuo thought as he analyzed the technique.
'Considering I could have gotten the shadow clone jutsu however, this does leave a bad taste' Kazuo thought before releasing a long-winded sigh.
Getting up from his bead, Kazuo headed outside of the tent.
The moon was about to rise up on the horizon as the sun gave its lay rays of light.
'It's almost been a week if you consider all the times that I've died' Kazuo thought as he stared at the sky before lowering his head and looking around the camp.
The shinobi were immersing themselves in the joy of a won battle as they ate some deer meat they had managed to hunt and cook.
"Come join us, Kazuo!" One shinobi shouted as he waved at Kazuo who nodded his head and joined the group.
Soon finding himself with a plate of deer meat in his hands.
It was clear that they had given him more of a cut than the rest.
Lifting his eyes, he saw everyone, tens of shinobi giving him a grin and a nod.
"Dont worry about it, just enjoy it!" The man who had called him said before releasing a laugh and patting Kazuos back.
"Right, thank you, everyone," Kazuo said as he looked at everyone and nodded.
'...' Kazuo didn't know what to think as he stuffed his mouth with deer meat.
At times like this, he found it hard to think about betraying these people but these moments were short as Kazuo lightly shook his head.
'Don't be dumb, if I want to survive in this hellish world then the only way is to get strong, if I can do that but I need to sacrifice everyone else then so be it. I don't want to feel the pain of dying over and over again, not to mention that if I get stuck in Madaras infinite tsukynome then it's just game over, even my time loop won't save me from that.' Kazuo thought before taking another piece of deer meat and stuffing it in his mouth.
His gaze grew more chilling every moment as he reaffirmed his resolve to only care about himself.
'In this world, I am Alone'
