Meanwhile, a couple of miles away, a figure could be seen appearing and vanishing constantly as he got further and further away from the Konoha Camp.
It was Kazuo who used his whole chakra reserves to arrive at the location as fast as he could.
The scenery around him constantly changed, and with him not having the visual prowess of someone like Shisui Uchiha, he couldn't even survey if an enemy was around him at all.
However, unlike the Uchiha genius, Kazuo had no need to worry about an enemy.
If he died, then he could just go back in time.
Finally, after around thirty minutes of constantly using shunshin until his reserves were about to be completely drained, Kazuo arrived at the edge of the clearing where the full-blown battle between the two military villages would take place.
Taking out a soldier pill from his ninja bag, Kazuo quickly threw it into his mouth and waited.
Five minutes later, his chakra had already reached comfortable levels once more.
Making a single-hand sign, Kazuo thought.
'Earth Style, Hiding like a mole jutsu.'
With that thought, the earth below his feet quickly turned damp and soon enough became soft enough to where it started swallowing his body, this entire process happened almost in an instant, and merely two seconds later, Kazuo had disappeared from the surface.
Using his chakra, Kazuo maintained a constant form so that the jutsu could be performed even when he removed the hand sign.
At that moment, Kazuo headed to the middle of the clearing, he had already memorized the entire place during the five minutes that he had waited for his soldier pill and now he knew the exact number of steps and the distance he needed to cover to arrive at the places where he would put the explosion tags.
'Five, four, three, two, one. Here' Kazuo thought as he stopped in place and using a miniscule amount of chakra that he split off from the majority, he summoned the explosion tags from his scroll.
To do this he had first made a small clearing underground which proved easy with how soft the earth around him was while doing the jutsu.
Once the tags appeared in front of him, Kazuo stopped using the jutsu immediately.
The earth around him hardened quickly and returned to its usual endurance levels.
'Thankfully I don't combine with the earth whilst using the jutsu and merely form tunnels that I pass through otherwise canceling the jutsu whilst still underground would cause me to die instantly.' Kazuo thought and rushed to quickly place the explosion tags in the small round hole he had created in front of him.
Once one hundred Tags were placed, Kazuo took out a sheet of paper that he had with him and during his way here had elongated until it became similar to a string.
This was the way he had devised to activate all of the seals whilst holding a comfortable distance from them.
Since he had gotten the paper shuriken jutsu, Kazuo had thought of ways to gain the paper kekke genkai however he had failed miserably.
His efforts however weren't completely futile, he had at least learned how to carry his chakra through paper even if the paper was completely normal and not made of some special tree or anything of the sort.
Clasping his hands Kazuo used the earth release jutsu once more and headed away from the explosion tags, his next destination was twelve seconds away to the right. The paper string was being engulfed by the earth as he went further away and the tunnel he had created collapsed from the soft malleable earth.
He repeated this process four more times before turning around and heading to the location he had been at when he first arrived at the clearing.
During this time he had to stop on multiple occasions to create more paper string which he tied to the one connected to the explosion tags and then continued moving under the ground.
The entire process took one hour and by the end of it Kazuo was left with almost no chakra and completely exhausted, his entire body drenched in sweat, both from being underground as well as from the stress of the entire situation.
Back at the spot where he had first gone underground, the ground opened out and Kazuo jumped out.
Taking deep breaths as he held his knees, his unfocused eyes gaining clarity little by little.
'I almost died of suffocation from not having enough oxygen' Kazuo thought to himself before walking behind a tree and sitting down.
All that was left now was to wait for seven hours in enemy territory and then head back underground to finish off the job for tomorrow.
Seconds turned into minutes and minutes turned into hours as Kazuo remained seated on the ground, his mind slowly starting to play tricks on him from the deep exhaustion and stress it was going through.
At the slightest movement or sound made by the wildlife, Kazuo entered an extremely guarded state, anticipating the worst however finding out that it was just a rabbit or a deer.
*Sigh*
'Me and my big fucking mouth, I can do it, commander.' Kazuo thought however he didn't regret his decision one bit.
This plan could earn him a lot in the village, it was something he was willing to do so that he could get a big enough return from the leaf.
'Maybe an A-rank or B-rank jutsu?' Kazuo thought as he started going through all the Jutsu he could ask for before landing on one.
'The Shadow clone, with my current chakra I would only be capable of making one but even that is more than enough, I could use it in so many strategies it's insane.' Kazuo thought as he watched the sun rise above the horizon.
The time was near, now he had to get back underground and wait patiently for the enemy to arrive.
'All right let's get this started' Kazuo thought as a shallow smile appeared on his expression.

An Extra chapter because of the crazy support you guys have given me in the last few days. <3
I hope I did well enough on the part where he uses the paper string as a way to conduct his chakra to the explosion tags over a large enough distance.

Kazuo had to wait for another twenty minutes before he felt the very ground shaking.
Hundreds of ninjas were about to come into this very clearing, their eyes blazing with fury and hatred as they would look at the other party.
'The greatest motivator of humankind, hatred.' Kazuo thought to himself before showing a light smirk on his face.
'I wonder how many people will curse me to death by the end of today.' Kazuo wondered to himself.
2 explosions rocked the ground, shaking even Kazuo who was twenty meters underground.
'The signal' Kazuo thought as he looked at the white paper string in his hand.
Before he had left, Kazuo had told Shikaru to cause two large explosions above a specific spot in the clearing where he would be hiding as a signal for Kazuo to launch the explosives.
Looking at the paper for a moment longer, Kazuo felt slight doubt appear on his face before it was quickly squashed by his mind.
'They would have done worse if they could.' Kazuo thought before channeling his chakra into his hand and into the paper string.
It traveled at immense speeds though it had lost the majority of its energy.
The explosion tags thankfully only needed a sliver of chakra to activate as they were made from extremely chakra-sensitive seals.
For a moment, Kazuo thought he had failed as nothing happened.
And in the next second, Kazuo finally felt it.
The very earth shook as if a nuke had been dropped, causing Kazuo to smash onto the earth around him as if he were a ping-pong ball for a few seconds.
After that, the rocking of the earth stopped and silence overtook the place once more.
Quickly Kazuo made a handseal and using the Hiding like a mole technique, he brought himself above ground.
Looking around Kazuo quickly spotted Shikaru who was looking at him with a certain glint in his eyes.
No, it wasn't just Shikaru, it was the entire leaf camp.
Turning to face the other direction, where the explosions had taken off, Kazuo couldn't see anything because of the dust that had covered the entire clearing.
Thankfully, Aoki Hyuga came forward and after making four seals quickly, he inhaled a large amount of air and then blew it out, completely clearing the dust on the battlefield.
'Wind Style: Great Breakthrough Jutsu' Kazuo thought as he quickly analyzed what the man had used.
'A wind jutsu is said to have the potential of being an S-ranked jutsu if the user has enough chakra to supply it.' Kazuo thought before quickly turning his gaze back onto the enemy lines.
At that moment, Kazuo finally understood the expressions of his leaf comrades.
His own eyes grew wider and his mouth hung slightly ajar.
There was nothing left, no enemy.
They were gone and in their spots, only charred remains of limbs, organs, and blood remained.
*Gulp*
'Am I actually strong?' Kazuo thought to himself jokingly for a moment before turning to look at Shikaru, the man didn't smile at him, still holding that strange look on his face.
The rest of the shinobi seemed to come to their minds once more as they quickly roared in triumph, hundreds of curse words spouted out of their minds as they looked at the dead cloud ninja.
Tens of the shinobi even rushed to Kazuo and started giving him words of encouragement and pats on the back.
Kazuo however still felt a bad premotion.
'Something isn't right.' Kazuo thought before shaking his head a moment later.
'They are dead, the thing is that this big of a loss won't be accepted easily.' Kazuo thought as he gazed at the enemy side of the battlefield.
His eyes focused as he observed everything.
At that moment, he saw it.
Lightning flashed from far in the distance, The lightning looked as if it had a mind of its own as it flew threw the air.
'Its...'
'It's coming toward us!' Kazuo thought as his mind immediately started thinking of possibilities and thankfully he found the answer quickly.
The answer he had gleaned however was grim.
'The lightning jutsu that the cloud uses to transport supplies over long distances, what if it can be used to carry a person.' Kazuo thought as his body started shivering.
Quickly his head turned toward Shikaru.
"RUN!" Kazuo screamed as he immediately used the bodyflicker jutsu and disappeared from his location.
There was no time to think about dealing with that guy, with their strength it was like a bug trying to kill a human.
It was possible however you needed thousands of bugs to sacrifice themselves and they clearly didn't have thousands of shinobi on their side.
As Kazuo thought of this, using his jutsu to get further and further away.
He saw the world tilt.
The Ground and Sky switching places.
'Genjutsu?' Kazuo thought before realizing it wasn't merely a moment later.
A large Burly man with dark skin and a tattoo on his right shoulder was next to a headless body.
'It's me' Kazuo realized as his head fell on the floor and rolled for a few moments.
Silence had overtaken the clearing whilst the dark-skinned man turned to face the Leaf ninjas.
*Gulp*
Tens of gulps were heard, as the eyes of the shinobi shook whilst looking at the man.
Finally, he opened his mouth and said with a deep gruff voice that sounded so furious, they felt like he would spontaneously erupt into lightning.
"That bastard kid actually killed hundreds of my shinobi, you fucking tree huggers always spawning geniuses as if they are grass found on the roadside." The man said before disappearing from the shinobi's eyes.
A moment later, screams erupted all around the clearing.
***
*Huff* *Huff*
Releasing deep harsh breaths, Kazuo found himself back at the tree with a paper string inside his palm.
'I fucking Jinxed it didn't I?' Kazuo thought as annoyance coursed through his mind.
'Just you wait, ill fucking make your life hell.' Kazuo thought to himself as he remembered the cocky furious look on the Raikage's face.
