Capítulo 69: Chapter 69
Immediately Kazuo got up from the bed, plans already swirling inside his mind as he tried to come up with his next actions.
'I can either follow the last turns route and try to hide my emotions somehow or I could simply not go to ichiraku.' Kazuo thought, standing still for a few moments until he finally came to a decision.
'I'll try a few more times. I won't be able to show her emotions like happiness or others of the sort, I simply can't fake them that deeply at my current skill level however being close to emotionless should be possible.' Kazuo thought before nodding to himself and getting out of his small run-down apartment.
The day flowed through similarly to how it had during the previous turn and finally he, Kakashi, and Rin arrived at Ichiraku Ramen once more.
Heading inside they were once more met with the scene of Minato and Kushina bickering with each other.
"Hello, Sensei!" Kazuo said as he as well as Kakashi and Rin sat down.
"Hey!" Minato immediately raised his hand as if he had been saved from the depths of the ocean, his eyes lighting up once he saw his students.
Kushina Uzumaki turned around and immediately dragged Rin into her embrace once more before finally turning her attention toward Kazuo once again.
"Hello, My name's Kazuo, I'm Minato Sensei's new student," Kazuo said as he raised his hand in a small wave.
"Hello!" Kushina said her voice carrying her excitement this time.
"Are you a Uchiha?" Kushina immediately asked afterward.
"No, im a civilian ninja ma'am" Kazuo replied, his face remaining a soft smile.
"Ah, you look just like one ya'know?" Kushina said as she raised her hand and in a fierce and swift movement, Kazuo's cheeks started hurting.
Immediately his brows furrowed as he tried moving away however he found out that the woman was what philosophers would call an unstoppable force.
"You're so cute!" Kushina immediately gushed for a few moments before Minato carefully removed her hand from Kazuo's face.
His cheek was already red, however, Kazuo had to remain calm.
His emotions remained blank as if whatever Kushina did, she didn't do to him.
It was an emotional detachment of sorts from his own body.
'She can only sense negative emotions. I figured as much however this practically confirms it. She wouldn't be so joyous if she noticed that I have no emotions at all.' Kazuo thought as he and the group finally turned around and continued their meal.
Finishing his beef ramen, Kazuo stood up and turned toward the group.
"If I may excuse myself, I wanted to go back and rest for a while. It was great meeting you Kushina-san." Kazuo said as he gave a light bow to the group.
"All right, make sure to rest well Kazuo, we have a mission tomorrow," Minato said as he and the group gave him a light wave of their hands, besides Kakashi of course who as always looked like he was stuck inside his own head.
It had only gotten worse with the 'death' of Obito.
Heading out of the Ichiraku Stall, Kazuo started heading back toward his own apartment.
'I've formed a shallow connection with Kushina, I'll at least be remembered as Minato's student. All that is left from here is to increase these connections even further until they consider me a true comrade.' Kazuo thought as he walked down the streets.
Looking through the densely packed roads even though the night was approaching, Kazuo clearly noticed the changes.
'The war is coming to an end.' Kazuo thought as he saw the faces of the people who had been so disheartened when he had first come back to the leaf, they had now become joyous and peace could be felt in their expressions.
'How can they be so carefree when they know their life could be ended in a split second, even I could annihilate this entire civilian road in mere moments, not to mention Minato.' Kazuo thought before a slight sneer appeared on his face.
'They know, however, they choose to ignore it. Just so that they can continue to live their lives obliviously. Dumb Fucks.' Kazuo thought as he finally arrived at his apartment.
Opening the door and setting up the lock with the Kunai once he was inside again, Kazuo sat on his broken bed and took out a few paper sheets.
During the seventy or so days that he had repeated, he had made sure to keep training and exploring his use of the paper jutsu.
It hadn't given him an extra jutsu in the system however his knowledge about the paper style had increased massively.
Taking a paper, he held it between his index and middle finger whilst forming a hand sign.
The paper immediately started floating up in the air and converging into itself.
It soon took the form of a paper ball, however, it didn't look crumbled, in fact, it resembled an iron ball more than a paper one.
'Im close to being able to get my first original jutsu, this time intentionally.' Kazuo thought as his mind went back to the enhanced water bullet jutsu before shaking his head lightly.
*Sigh*
It was hard, Konan had a much easier time than he did, but at the same time, he also had his own advantages.
He had fully mastered jutsu, the paper shuriken, and the Paper God technique that he could research.
After much thought, he had come to his first jutsu idea.
By making round, perfect paper balls that resembled the iron bullets of the Flint Flock age, Kazuo could create a jutsu that shot out these bullets similarly to how a gun did.
If this Jutsu was perfected, it would most likely be an A-rank Assassination Jutsu.
Three hours later...
'That's enough for now.' Kazuo thought as he hid the papers inside his wrist guards once more and fell asleep.
Laying down on his bed, Kazuo's mind was calm.
Unlike before when he was on the Cloud battlefield, Kazuo was finally calm.
The nightmares that ravaged his mind had long stopped.
He had adapted to the war.
