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"

"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation Jutsu" Kazuo muttered as he took a deep breath and exhaled an enormous amount of fire that seemed to engulf everything in front of him.
Be it trees, shinobi, or the very ground they stood on.
The fire engulfed everything.
However merely six seconds later, Kazuo had to stop, his chakra reserves already drained.
The papers that had been moving around to block the enemy's chakra sensing fell down, as Kazuo had no more chakra to control them.
Thankfully the two military pills that he had taken moments earlier started doing their work at this moment and Kazuo's body started generating back its chakra at an incredible speed.
'This is dangerous, if I don't use up all the chakra quickly then I'll be dying from an overabundance of chakra and even if I do manage to release it all, my condition after will be horrendous.' Kazuo thought as he made a tsking sound before quickly forming another set of hand seals.
'Time to really put this new jutsu of mine to work' Kazuo thought as he quickly made a single-hand seal, making a shadow clone appear next to him.
'After this, my chakra reserves will be extremely low even with the military pills the regeneration will take a few minutes at least.' Kazuo thought before quickly starting another set of hand seals.
"Water style: Enhanced Water Bullet!"
He gathered as much chakra as he could at the moment and created a water bullet jutsu that was far larger in size than all the previous ones he had done.
His shadow clone meanwhile did another set of hand seals.
"Lightning Style: Shock Wave"
"Combination Jutsu: Enhanced Great Water Bullet Jutsu!"
The Shadow Clone and Kazuo were completely in sync with each other, they were effectively the same person after all and this great synergy between them allowed for the creation of a combination jutsu on the fly.
The Large Enhanced Water Bullet and the Shock Wave jutsu combined at the same time as they headed toward the front where flames were still ravaging.
*Zzttt*
With the sound of lightning that was coursing through the water bullet that moved at incredible speeds, the surroundings became a flash.
*Booom*
'Water can also be used for an explosion.' Kazuo thought as a large grin appeared on his face.
"Is that it you mist nobodies?" Kazuo said aloud, his voice clearly being heard in the ongoing destruction around him.
Meanwhile, Kakashi and Rin who were already a distance away turned their heads.
The continous explosions could be heard and even though neither was a chakra sensor they could still sense the large volume of chakra being used.
Every ninja was a sensor however the difference was that some were capable of sensing much more minute chakra waves at a larger distance however when such a large amount of chakra was released even a normal shinobi would be able to feel it at a distance.
Kazuo who was standing still and catching his breath, pain starting to engulf his entire body was still smiling as he thought.
'If only I had elite jonin chakra levels, I would have been able to do this without even wearing myself out.' Kazuo thought as he saw the dust clouds disappear.
Bodies were strewed on the floor however the number clearly showed that not every enemy had been caught.
Tens of meters back stood three walls of water and two almost completely destroyed earth walls.
'So they managed to survive huh... I guess if Minato doesn't show up, im dead.' Kazuo thought before he saw the six mist shinobi who were still alive use body flicker and rush toward him.
There were no words said, they only had one goal in mind.
Killing Kazuo.
A chuckle escaped from Kazuo's mouth as he looked at the six ninjas making hand seals.
'Do they think that I would be so dumb as to just spam jutsu?' Kazuo thought as the six small concentrated balls of water headed toward him.
He had no time nor strength to dodge.
*Sclqh*
With the sound of tearing flesh, all six balls pierced through Kazuo's body, leaving bloody gaping holes behind.
"Finally, this fucker's dead." One of the anbu said as he released a sigh of relief.
They were all releasing harsh breaths, they had barely managed to survive the onslaught of jutsu that seemed to never end.
"Yeah, he's finally..."
Before the man could even finish his words, a voice was heard behind him.
"Dead?"
It was Kazuo, he had appeared right behind the group of mist shinobi who hadn't been able to notice anything as they had already let their guards down.
The body of Kazuo littered with holes in front of them lost its color once more before it quickly dissolved into hundreds of drenched white sheets of paper.
"Wha..."
Before the man could even fully turn his head, his heart was pierced by a kunai.
'One down, five left.' Kazuo thought as a large smile appeared on his face before he quickly used the last of his chakra to use a sealess body flicker and back away from the remaining five mist shinobi.
"It's your turn, old man," Kazuo said with a large smile.
*Zzzttt*
With the sound of electricity, Kakashi Hatake appeared on the battlefield, his right hand coated in a large amount of lightning chakra whilst he held a white short sword in his left hand.
Kazuo had died once during the barrage of the six mist ninjas, and he had used that to change his plans. He had told Kakashi to come back to the battlefield at a very specific time.
That was just when he was pierced by the shinobi with water bullets.
The second change he had made was to conserve his chakra slightly during every single jutsu, allowing him to release two more jutsu which used a meager amount of chakra.
The Paper Clone as well as the Body Flicker Jutsu.
Kakashi's figure vanished from view for a moment before appearing in the middle of the five mist ninja.
They were already exhausted and most of their chakra had been drained by trying to block the barrage of jutsu and explosions that Kazuo had launched on them.
It didn't take more than a split second for all five of their heads to get sliced off from their bodies.
*Thump* *Thump* *Thump* *Thump* *Thump*
Kakashi stood in the middle of the five headless bodies, the lightning chakra in his right hand quickly dissipating.
It was at this moment that three figures appeared on the small battlefield.
One was a yellow-haired man wearing a Jonin vest.
The other was a young girl with brown hair and two purple strips going down from their eyes almost to her chin.
And finally, the last one was a man covered in a white swirly suit.
"Are you two ever not going to be late? Obito, Minato Sensei." Kazuo uttered as his vision started darkening.
_____________________________________________________________________________
I tried to make a battle where Kazuo used everything he knew and all of his Jutsu.
I hope it was enjoyable to read, it was quite fun to write.
Now the thing is that Kazuo's increased intelligence has made it so that he doesn't have to completely rely on the repetition of the time loop to succeed, however, I felt that it was only the logical outcome otherwise it would just be forced if he didn't use his frankly genius level intelligence at this point, though whether I can manage to write a decent Mc with genius intellect is another matter.
