'Well It's time that i head into battle aswell isn't it ? I have to keep up appearances after all.' Kazuo thought before his figure vanished.
He had already appeared in the middle of the battlefield, a kunai that he held in his hand was already through an enemy shinobis throat.
The enemy hadn't even seen it coming before he had felt his throat get filled with his own blood.
*Thump*
'One down for the count' Kazuo thought as a large grin spread over his face, causing the enemies who were about to rush towards him to stop for a brief moment.
It was at this moment that Kazuo heard a bell-like sound ring in his head.
[ Ding! ]
[ A System Mission has been generated! ]
[ Thwart Uchiha Madara's plans. ]
[ Reward: Bloodline Activation 5%, One small Grade Stat Upgrade. ]
His eyes quickly wandered over the holographic panel in less than a second before concentrating on the enemy once more.
'What is this system doing? Is this a fucking joke? I'm a fucking Chunnin, a Chunnin god damned it.' Kazuo thought before his brows furrowed even further.
"Hey dickheads, Im in a really bad mood right now, so I'm going to take it out on you guys. Don't resent me alright?" Kazuo loudly said before his figure vanished and appeared next to his next victim.
Just like last time, the shinobi didn't even have enough time to react before his left eye and brain were pierced by a kunai.
"You bastard!" One of the mist shinobi screamed as they ran toward Kazuo, only to stop a split second later.
"A clone?" One of the mist shinobi asked before lightly shaking his head and quickly rushing toward Kazuo and his 'clone' that was standing next to the now dead mist shinobi strewed out on the ground.
Immediately four shinobi were rushing toward Kauzo, two from the right and two from his left side.
Both Kazuo's quickly turned their backs to each other and rushed toward the incoming enemies.
Their figures flickered as they changed positions quickly, instantly confusing and causing the enemies to slow down.
"Aarghh!" With a loud battle scream, one of the mist shinobi used a body flicker of his own and appeared in front of the Kazuo on the right.
His sword held up high before he swung it down with immense force.
As the sword got close enough that Kazuo wouldn't be able to escape, the mist shinobi's face twisted as a large bloodthirsty grin appeared on it.
'I have you now you fucker!' He thought before his sword cleanly passed through Kazuo's body with no resistance at all.
It had simply sliced the air after all.
'What? An illusion? Is this the clone then?' The mist shinobi thought before he saw that the Illusion of Kazuo had yet to disappear and in fact was swinging his own kunai straight toward his face.
'It's just an illusion.' The shinobi thought preparing to use another body flicker and appear behind the real Kazuo.
*Shlq*
The kunai held by the 'illusion' passed right through the shinobi's forehead before appearing on the back of the enemy's head.
Blood spattered around in an instant as if the mist shinobi's head had become a water fountain.
The man hadn't even had the time to think about what had hapened before the light in his eyes had died, his soul already leaving this world.
The 'Illusion' of Kazuo turned around and headed toward his next opponent.
The battle was a massacre, no matter what the shinobi did, no matter what methods they used, they would all pass through Kazuo's body as if he was just an illusion whilst his own strikes were as deadly as ever.
*Thump*
The final shinobi fell down onto the floor, his head cleanly sliced off and his leg which Kazuo had hit with a low kick bent completely backward.
The Kazuo on the right disappeared just like an illusion as soon as the combat was over.
'Shisui's use of the body flicker really was ingenious.' Kazuo thought as he turned his gaze to look at how Kakashi was doing.
'He only had one opponent left huh?' Kazuo thought before his left eyebrow scrunched up slightly.
'I had to die six times to complete this one damned battle but he manages to do it on his first damned try and without breaking a sweat at all.' Kazuo thought.
He had died six times during the battle, it had mostly been in cases where both he and his clones had been killed at the same time by an unexpected combination of water jutsu however at the end of the day he had still died.
'Even with all that training, I guess a genius like him is really on a completley different playing field.' Kazuo thought before quickly using the body flicker and appearing next to Nohara Rin who was still laid out onto the altar.
'I have to thwart Madara's plans? That's easy.' Kazuo thought whilst a light smile appeared on his face.
*Fsh*
Kakashi appeared next to him at this moment.
"Kakashi, notify Minato to come here right away," Kazuo said as he kept looking at Nohara Rin.
"What?" Kakashi asked, his tone clearly confused.
Kazuo didn't say anything in return, merely grabbing Rin's shirt and lifting it up.
On her belly, a large seal was inscribed that seemed to be so large that it coevered even her entire back.
"She's been made a jinchuriki or something of the sort. Call Minato right now, we don't have time for bullshit." Kazuo said once more, his voice and eyes fierce as he gazed at Kakashi.
"Right." Kakashi didn't wait any longer before taking out the three-pronged kunai from his ninja bag and throwing it on the ground.
*Sigh*
Kazuo released an audible sigh before getting up from his crouched position next to Nohara Rin.
"Get ready, We're going to be fighting to the death right about now," Kazuo announced.
At that very moment, Kakashi's eyes widened, in the woods at the edges of the clearing.
He saw it or rather 'them', tens upon tens of mist anbu ready to tear him and Kazuo apart limb for limb.
