Naruto: The Time Looper

Chapter 97: Chapter 97



The four-leaf ninja continued their run through the dense forests of the fire country.

It was one of the distinguishing features aswell as one of the main reasons as to why the Fire country faced the most opposition during the great ninja wars.

The land was abundant with resources that the other great countries envied. This caused the Daimyo of the Fire country to be the richest man in all of the elemental nations and having such economic strength meant that he had the power to finance the leaf much more than the other daimyo could finance their own respective hidden villages.

Another reason as to why the hidden leaf had such support from the daimyo was the fact that the daimyo was a descendant of the senju clan.

And thus the relationship between the village and the daimyo had always been good.

Kazuo continued to use a low-powered body flicker so that his team could keep up with him.

He hadn't really noticed the change as much, how strong he had gotten until he compared himself to regular shinobi.

Hours continued to pass and soon enough the four of them arrived at the halfway point to the fire capital.

"Stop here, we're camping the night." Kazuo announced as he quickly placed his hand on the ground and used the "Earth Tremor Jutsu" Seal-lessly to check if any enemies were nearby.

Turns out there were.

'Close, too close!' Kazuo thought as his chakra surged however it was already too late.

A hand touched the back of his neck, Kazuo managed to turn around to see the attacker.

It was a man with a white mask wearing black gloves however Kazuo could still identify the man.

As just above his gloves, a sliver of skin showed.

It was dark purple skin.

'Fucking Danzo.' Kazuo thought to himself as he felt the world around him darken.

A moment later, Kazuo's dead body fell on the floor.

***

Arriving at the same location as before on his second turn, Kazuo stopped just like he had.

'Using myself as bait, what am I? Goku's tail?' Kazuo thought as he grit his teeth, inwardly counting the seconds as he spoke up.

A moment later, a hand touched the back of his head just like it had on the previous turn.

However Kazuo didn't feel the poison spreading through his brain this time, as he turned to face the man and a large smile split across his face.

"Kai bitch."

His entire body lit up and in less than a split second, he exploded.

Unfortunately, the attacker wasn't done so easily, he had already expected Kazuo to launch similar tactics and as such he had prepared a substitution Jutsu just in case.

The only thing damaged by Kazuo's explosion had been a wooden log.

'Danzo you bastard, you even researched my combat strategy.' Kazuo thought before he took a deep breath and walked from behind the treeline where he had been hidden.

His mind immediately focused as his angered expression turned into a poker face and his emotions became as cold as ice.

"Seems like Lord Danzo has a grudge against me. Is this his way of lowering the amount of support for Minato Sensei? I guess he would be rooting for Orochimaru." Kazuo mumbled as he continued walking toward the enemy, his pose was carefree as if he hadn't just been attacked at all.

"Kazuo, you are a nuisance, your reputation has grown far too large and then you go ahead and ally yourself with the hyuga clan, this goes against the leaf's interests and as such you will be disposed of. Those are lord Danzo's words." The masked Anbu said before he motioned with his hand.

A moment later six more anbu appeared.

The three leaf ninja on Kazuo's team had already been knocked out, they hadn't even seen who had attacked them before they had lost consciousness.

"You're planning on using a Yamanaka jutsu to implant memories into them so they think I betrayed the leaf and went rogue before all three of them teamed up and killed me?" Kazuo asked with a soft tone before nodding his head.

"I would've done the same," Kazuo said before he raised one hand, making a hand seal.

"Unfortunately, I'm on a pretty serious mission so i don't have time to dally with you all. Do forgive me for being so impolite." Kazuo said as the corners of his lips turned up slightly.

The seven root ninjas didn't wait any longer as all of them rushed towards Kazuo.

Two stayed at the backline and crouched down, making quick hand seals whilst five others with the one who had attacked Kazuo leading them, rushed towards him.

"Do you know what mastering a chakra nature means?" Kazuo asked them suddenly.

The seven didn't seem to care for his words causing Kazuo's lips to curl even higher.

"Paper Release: Paper Illusion."

It didnt even take a split second, one moment the eight of them with Kazuo included were in a green dense forest in the land of fire and in the next moment there was only darkness, complete and utter darkness.

Kazuo's figure immediately melded with the darkness around him, causing him to disappear from the Root anbu's sight.

"What!" The poision anbu otherwise known as Torune Aburame muttered as he gazed around however he couldn't see anything.

His sense of balance had been completely ruined as he barely managed to stand up and the two anbu who were likely Yamanaka had already fallen to the ground from disbalance.

"Can you sense him," Torune asked the Yamanaka who were known as great chakra sensors.

"No sir, everything around us is emitting chakra, it's impossible to pinpoint his location."

It was at this moment that a voice was heard, it came from the back of the two fallen yamanka anbu.

"Don't worry, I dont plan on hiding. I wanted to ask you all a question however." Kazuo said as he appeared behind the two root anbu.

His hands were already clutching their heads.

'Yin Release: Mind Break.'

A split second later, he released their heads causing the two to fall onto the pitch black darkness, looking as if they were falling endlessly until theyr figures completely disappeared.

"What is the difference between Illusion and Reality?" Kazuo asked, a wide cruel smirk on his face as his body was once more engulfed by the darkness.

Here's the chapter, this was so damn fun to write, now that Kazuo has actual abilities to use, I can imagine so many kinds of ways that he could use those abilities.

Finally, I can use stuff besides just explosion tags, kunai, and shuriken xD.
