Kapitel 25: Chapter 25
It was Kazuo, no wounds were on his body and he had a slight smile on his face as he walked to Shikaru, the surrounding ninjas were flabbergasted, weren't they just saying that Kazuo had died?
"So you survived?" One of the captains said, his eyes slightly widened though the anger had vanished from his gaze.
"I knew something was wrong with them the moment that I talked with one of the ninjas surrounding my tent, deciding to be careful, I asked all of them to come with me inside my tent so that I could ask them, my seniors, some questions," Kazuo said before his slight smile widened slightly.
"I entered my tent before them, causing them to not see me for a slight moment which I used to enter underground with the Hiding like a mole technique whilst using the clone technique to make a duplicate of me that engaged with them in conversation. I stayed near the ground so that I could hear what they said and once I saw the danger, I simply delved deep enough under the ground where the explosion wouldn't affect me" Kazuo said as he turned to face the location where his tent had once stood.
If he was being honest then Kazuo was quite angered, he had lost quite a lot of his supplies and belongings that he had in his tent however overall he had ended up being the winner.
"You really are as cunning as Shikaru," The Hyuga captain said with a slight nod toward Kazuo.
Kazuo shook his head.
"No, Im simply afraid of death," Kazuo replied with a somber tone, his smile turning down and forming a thin line.
"Isn't everyone" Shikaru replied before every ninja turned to face him.
"I congratulate you, Kazuo. You have managed to eliminate five cloud spies the very day that I gave you the Chunnin rank, keep up the good work." Shikaru said, his voice loud enough that everyone could hear.
At that moment, the leaf shinobi around cheered as they walked and gave words of congratulations to Kazuo as well as pats on the back.
"Thank you, everyone, ill make sure that I do the same going forward and work to my bones so that my comrades and the village remains safe," Kazuo said, deciding it was as good of a time as ever to speak some will of fire bullshit.
Everyone laughed in good nature as they stared at Kazuo, their eyes had turned even more revering in a sense to Kazuo.
He had managed to help the camp massively more than twice already, both when he found the ambush plan of the cloud, to raising the morale and defeating a cloud jonin in battle, and now to defeating five cloud spies at the same time.
His reputation couldn't be compared to the him of only a few days ago where he was simply an expendable Gennin that no one paid attention to.
"Alright, someone helps Kazuo put up a tent for himself again, as for the rest go back to your tents for some rest. We will be marching forward again tomorrow, I need everyone well-rested for the journey." Shikaru said as he shooed everyone away from the location.
Kazuo meanwhile found himself surrounded by quite a bit of shinobi who helped him construct a tent quickly before they gave their goodbyes and left to their own devices.
*Sigh*
'Why couldn't I have just been reborn in a time of peace but I have to go through this bullshit' Kazuo thought to himself before entering his tent.
His plan was simple, take a rest for the night before going ahead and getting some supplies tomorrow from the commander and starting to prepare some supplies for the trek they were going on.
Sleep overtook Kazuo strangely fast, his dreams marred with bloodshed and fire causing him to wake up in the morning with sweat drenching him completely and rough breath.
*Huff* *Huff*
'This is becoming the norm, and I don't particularly find it entertaining.' Kazuo thought with furrowed brows before he quickly got out of his makeshift bed and headed out of the tent.
Arriving at a large tent close to the commander one, he entered inside.
It was where the supply administrators were located, any shinobi could come here if they were in need of supplies.
Behind a small makeshift counter, stood a young woman with dark brown hair and blue eyes.
"Hello, I'd like to request some supplies," Kazuo said straightforwardly.
The young kunoichi gave him a look before nodding her head, she wasn't one for words it seemed.
Turning around she quickly received a ninja bag which she handed over to Kazuo.
"These are the standard supplies, if you want more then you have to send a request to the commander and then come back here," She said before paying no more attention to Kazuo.
Nodding his head, Kazuo walked out and returned to his tent.
Quickly opening the bag, he found a selection of items.
Ten Kunai.
Twenty Shuriken.
Five Explosion Tags.
Three Explosion tag Kunai.
Three Soldier Pills.
'This is quite good, in fact, I didn't expect to get this much, it's most likely because im a chunin now so I'll be receiving more supplies.' Kazuo thought before taking out five kunai and placing them inside his seal, together with all the explosion tag kunai and the five explosion tags.
The rest of the supplies he simply put in his ninja bag.
'Allright with this, i have enough combat gear for the moment' Kazuo thought before starting to pack up his tent.
It took a few minutes but the tent was folded up and placed inside a designed sealing scroll that was given to each shinobi for it.
It didn't have a large size however and it could only hold the tent itself but it was rather useful considering it was quite small in size and could be placed inside someone's ninja bag.
With his work finished, Kazuo headed to the commander's tent where he saw Shikaru going out.
"Is it time sir?" Kazuo asked as he looked at the Nara.
A nod from Shikaru was all the confirmation he needed.
The next hour or so was filled with the ninja packing their tents up before they all lined up before Shikaru.
The Gennin had already departed yesterday, so the camp was only filled with Chunnin and Jonnin.
Before Addressing the shinobi, Shikaru handed something to Kazuo.
It was a jutsu scroll.
"Take this and learn it as quickly as possible, I don't want you to slow our advance by too much," Shikaru said before he turned around and started addressing the shinobi gathered in front of him.
Kazuo meanwhile opened the scroll and quickly looked it over.
A smile erupted on his face the very next instant.
'The Body Flicker Jutsu' Kazuo thought, his joy palpable.

Here's the daily chapter! I hope you guys enjoyed reading it.
It was pretty fun to think of a way how Kazuo could have outsmarted the enemy spies. However, I've mentioned this previously but im not some genius strategist so I'm sorry if I can't really portray Kazuos genius that well.
