'Well It's time that i head into battle aswell isn't it ? I have to keep up appearances after all.' Kazuo thought before his figure vanished.
He had already appeared in the middle of the battlefield, a kunai that he held in his hand was already through an enemy shinobis throat.
The enemy hadn't even seen it coming before he had felt his throat get filled with his own blood.
*Thump*
'One down for the count' Kazuo thought as a large grin spread over his face, causing the enemies who were about to rush towards him to stop for a brief moment.
It was at this moment that Kazuo heard a bell-like sound ring in his head.
[ Ding! ]
[ A System Mission has been generated! ]
[ Thwart Uchiha Madara's plans. ]
[ Reward: Bloodline Activation 5%, One small Grade Stat Upgrade. ]
His eyes quickly wandered over the holographic panel in less than a second before concentrating on the enemy once more.
'What is this system doing? Is this a fucking joke? I'm a fucking Chunnin, a Chunnin god damned it.' Kazuo thought before his brows furrowed even further.
"Hey dickheads, Im in a really bad mood right now, so I'm going to take it out on you guys. Don't resent me alright?" Kazuo loudly said before his figure vanished and appeared next to his next victim.
Just like last time, the shinobi didn't even have enough time to react before his left eye and brain were pierced by a kunai.
"You bastard!" One of the mist shinobi screamed as they ran toward Kazuo, only to stop a split second later.
"A clone?" One of the mist shinobi asked before lightly shaking his head and quickly rushing toward Kazuo and his 'clone' that was standing next to the now dead mist shinobi strewed out on the ground.
Immediately four shinobi were rushing toward Kauzo, two from the right and two from his left side.
Both Kazuo's quickly turned their backs to each other and rushed toward the incoming enemies.
Their figures flickered as they changed positions quickly, instantly confusing and causing the enemies to slow down.
"Aarghh!" With a loud battle scream, one of the mist shinobi used a body flicker of his own and appeared in front of the Kazuo on the right.
His sword held up high before he swung it down with immense force.
As the sword got close enough that Kazuo wouldn't be able to escape, the mist shinobi's face twisted as a large bloodthirsty grin appeared on it.
'I have you now you fucker!' He thought before his sword cleanly passed through Kazuo's body with no resistance at all.
It had simply sliced the air after all.
'What? An illusion? Is this the clone then?' The mist shinobi thought before he saw that the Illusion of Kazuo had yet to disappear and in fact was swinging his own kunai straight toward his face.
'It's just an illusion.' The shinobi thought preparing to use another body flicker and appear behind the real Kazuo.
*Shlq*
The kunai held by the 'illusion' passed right through the shinobi's forehead before appearing on the back of the enemy's head.
Blood spattered around in an instant as if the mist shinobi's head had become a water fountain.
The man hadn't even had the time to think about what had hapened before the light in his eyes had died, his soul already leaving this world.
The 'Illusion' of Kazuo turned around and headed toward his next opponent.
The battle was a massacre, no matter what the shinobi did, no matter what methods they used, they would all pass through Kazuo's body as if he was just an illusion whilst his own strikes were as deadly as ever.
*Thump*
The final shinobi fell down onto the floor, his head cleanly sliced off and his leg which Kazuo had hit with a low kick bent completely backward.
The Kazuo on the right disappeared just like an illusion as soon as the combat was over.
'Shisui's use of the body flicker really was ingenious.' Kazuo thought as he turned his gaze to look at how Kakashi was doing.
'He only had one opponent left huh?' Kazuo thought before his left eyebrow scrunched up slightly.
'I had to die six times to complete this one damned battle but he manages to do it on his first damned try and without breaking a sweat at all.' Kazuo thought.
He had died six times during the battle, it had mostly been in cases where both he and his clones had been killed at the same time by an unexpected combination of water jutsu however at the end of the day he had still died.
'Even with all that training, I guess a genius like him is really on a completley different playing field.' Kazuo thought before quickly using the body flicker and appearing next to Nohara Rin who was still laid out onto the altar.
'I have to thwart Madara's plans? That's easy.' Kazuo thought whilst a light smile appeared on his face.
*Fsh*
Kakashi appeared next to him at this moment.
"Kakashi, notify Minato to come here right away," Kazuo said as he kept looking at Nohara Rin.
"What?" Kakashi asked, his tone clearly confused.
Kazuo didn't say anything in return, merely grabbing Rin's shirt and lifting it up.
On her belly, a large seal was inscribed that seemed to be so large that it coevered even her entire back.
"She's been made a jinchuriki or something of the sort. Call Minato right now, we don't have time for bullshit." Kazuo said once more, his voice and eyes fierce as he gazed at Kakashi.
"Right." Kakashi didn't wait any longer before taking out the three-pronged kunai from his ninja bag and throwing it on the ground.
*Sigh*
Kazuo released an audible sigh before getting up from his crouched position next to Nohara Rin.
"Get ready, We're going to be fighting to the death right about now," Kazuo announced.
At that very moment, Kakashi's eyes widened, in the woods at the edges of the clearing.
He saw it or rather 'them', tens upon tens of mist anbu ready to tear him and Kazuo apart limb for limb.

Seeing the dozens of enemy shinobi around them, Kazuo felt the need to curse at the world around him and to whoever assigned this mission to Kakashi.
'It's Hiruzen isn't it, that fucking rat.' Kazuo thought in annoyance before he released a slow deep sigh before taking a deep breath, his eyes focusing once more as he got ready for another hard battle.
'Madara might notify Obito faster and send him toward here, which means that we need to survive until either Obito arrives here or until Minato does.' Kazuo thought as he spoke to Kakashi, and Rin who was now waking up.
"Kakashi, protect Rin, you are better at that than I am," Kazuo said before Kakashi nodded his head.
This wasn't the time to have any arguments or disagreements.
He had to trust in Kazuo's ability.
"Don't ask how I can do this either alright?" Kazuo asked as he gave Kakashi a light smile.
Raising his hands forward, Kazuo channeled his chakra.
In a single second, hundreds of papers started flying out of his sleeves and swirling around the group.
They quickly formed a box around the three of them before their color changed from white to the color of their surroundings, effectively turning them invisible.
That was only on the outside however as Kazuo, Kakashi, and Rin could still clearly see the white papers.
"I'll be heading out, this jutsu makes you invisible from the outside, the box will start moving further away from here and will lead you to a safe enough location whilst you stay hidden from enemy eyes," Kazuo said as he arrived at the edge of the paper box.
"Also Rin, don't you dare sacrifice yourself, you are now a jinchuriki of the three tails and thus much more important than both I and Kakashi are to the hidden leaf village," Kazuo said before disappearing from the inside of the box.
At that moment both Kakashi and Rin saw the box shrink significantly and start moving towards the east.
"Come Rin," Kakashi said, his eyes still lingering on the spot where Kazuo had disappeared before taking Rin in his arms and quickly walking away, making sure to keep his chakra as hidden as he could, instructing Rin to do the same.
Once outside of the box of paper that he had created, Kazuo could once more see the tens of shinobi around him, they had come much closer and were now in prime attacking range.
"So the mist wants to go against the leaf? You fuckers aren't even strong enough to protect yourself and you want to attack us? The greatest shinobi village in existence?" Kazuo said before releasing a scoff.
"This tree rat." One of the enemies said before he quickly charged toward Kazuo.
Similarly, another group of them rushed toward him.
Altogether, seven shinobi were rushing toward Kazuo whilst one of the shinobi in the back quickly instructed the rest of them to start looking for Kakashi and Rin.
"Sir, We can't sense them." One of the shinobi said as he turned to who Kazuo presumed to be the commander.
"There are more than a hundred chakra signatures all around us, finding which one they are is almost impossible, they are also all changing positions rapidly." The shinobi said causing the captain to release a tsking sound.
"Kill that bastard as quickly as possible then we will start an extensive search."
It was at this moment that the seven shinobi arrived at Kazuo, four of them were already swinging their short blades, effectively restricting all movement from Kazuo as attacks were coming toward him from all directions.
Instead of showing a face of distress, Kazuo smiled as his body quickly lost its color and turned into hundreds of white papers.
This was another use of the paper illusion.
As it wasn't a paper clone and had no combat power or sentience, it used only a sliver amount of chakra.
"An illusion? Where is the real one?" One of the seven shinobi who had rushed forward asked as he quickly looked around.
It was at this moment that the seven shinobi heard the sound of an explosion tag igniting.
Hidden inside the hundreds of white papers that had been used to create the illusion of Kazuo's body were around fifty explosion tags.
*Boom* *Boom *Boom*
As they weren't ignited at the exact same time, they caused multiple explosion sounds.
A moment later after the smoke was cleared, the mist ninja could only see seven charred bodies with no Kazuo in sight.
"Quickly search." The captain said as he ordered the shinobi however those would also be the last words that he would ever speak out.
Two hands appeared from underneath him, tearing through the earth as they grabbed his ankles and brought him down underneath the ground fully, not even leaving his head out.
*Boom*
The next second, another explosion occurred, launching a cloud of dust and bits of grass and the earth into the air.
Meanwhile on the other side of the battlefield, perched atop a tree, Kazuo with a smile on his face was watching the situation unfold just as he had planned it.
He had already died once so that he could reset the time and plant the hundreds of papers around the area so that he could confuse and effectively block the enemy's chakra sensing.
'With the captain gone, all that is left is around sixty shinobi...' Kazuo's thoughts grew more and more grim as they progressed.
*Sigh*
'Sometimes I think that it would have been better to have just died back then on my first patrol mission.' Kazuo thought before his body flickered and he disappeared from his location, appearing right in the middle of a group of around twenty enemy shinobi.
"Do you know what art is?" Kazuos's voice resonated through the silent forest causing the attention of every mist shinobi to turn toward him.
"Art is an explosion"
*Booom*
With an explosion that far outweighed the previous ones, the entire ground started shaking.
Before the explosions even stopped, a figure appeared just outside of the cloud of dust.
"And so is fire," Kazuo said as he plopped two military pills into his mouth and quickly gulped them down before his hands rapidly made hand seals.
"Fire style: Great Fire Annihilation Jutsu"
