Chapter 72

Kazuo continued running through the forest, his figure flickering as his speed surpassed even Jonnin-level shinobi, his Shunshin Jutsu had already reached a level beyond what most shinobi were able to achieve in their lives.

It was an aftereffect of both his stubbornness as well as talent.

Finally, minutes later, Kazuo arrived at the destination.

Making a single-hand seal with one hand, Kazuo burrowed himself underground with the hiding like a mole technique.

'Time to get this shit started.' Kazuo thought to himself as he practically swam through the ground at high speeds.

He had already calculated the distance in his mind and thus he knew how long he would have to swim through the ground to reach the location where he would plant the explosion tags.

Of course, even if he did fail and miscalculated, he could just try again.

Arriving at the location in moments, he immediately pressed two fingers on his wrist guard, and in an instant, more than six hundred explosion tags appeared before him.

Because of the importance of the mission, Kazuo had actually been given one thousand explosion tags however he only used six hundred.

'A little stealing here and there is good for your health.' Kazuo thought as he immediately took out a stack of paper.

With a single hand seal, the paper converged together and turned into a long thin thread.

'This time, the range is even higher.' Kazuo thought as he turned around and swam back through the ground whilst using the hiding-like-a-mole technique.

He had kept up the rotation of the chakra for the technique during the whole time.

This wasn't as draining anymore as his chakra reserves had firmly become chunin rank as well as the fact that he had perfect mastery over the jutsu.

It would have cost him even less however he didn't have the earth elemental manipulation.

It was at this moment as he was running further and further away that he noticed the ground around him start to tremble.

'Lightning Jutsu' Kazuo thought before immediately jumping above ground and making a single-hand seal.

*Tiger Seal*

"Kai"

There was silence for but a split second as Kazuo's chakra went through the paper string and arrived at the explosion tags.

The very next instant, Chaos engulfed the world.

The ground shook terribly as six hundred explosion tags were detonated at the same time.

*Boom*

Explosion tags were usually exploded with a slight difference in activation time however to counter this, Kazuo had manipulated the paper string to attach to every single explosion tag.

Causing the explosion to fully reach its potential.

Without even looking behind him, Kazuo used the Body Flicker jutsu and vanished from his spot.

At the same time, his hands whirred into action as he got a substitution jutsu ready, using it immediately after his body flicker ended.

*Kraanng*

With the sound of wood breaking, the log that he had substituted with was completely broken in half.

Finally having the chance to look at his attacker, Kazuo saw someone he didn't expect.

Yo, it's Killa B, here to bring the heat, droppin' bars so hard, I'll knock you off your feet."

For a moment Kazuo felt the world freeze as he looked at the man.

"What?" 

"Lariat!"

That was all Kazuo managed to say before he felt the world rotate on its head.

Darkness enveloped his vision instantly.

Waking up once more inside his home in the leaf village, Kazuo felt a headache.

'How the fuck am I supposed to deal with a damned jinchuriki who can control his tailed beast.' Kazuo thought in anger before his eyes widened.

'Isn't this an opportunity?' Kazuo thought for the next second.

The image of two cloud shinobi flashed through his mind.

Two people who had gained the power of the nine-tailed beast after they had eaten its flesh.

A small grin appeared on Kazuo's face.

'It's worth a try, if I can't handle the side effects then I can simply end the turn. The question now is how should I fight him?' Kazuo thought as he tried to come up with a strategy.

Thankfully, he had all the time in the world to do so, but it didn't take long for a preliminary plan to form in his mind.

Following the same course of action as the last turn, Kazuo and Minato finally split paths.

Kazuo however didn't head toward the location where he would detonate the tags immediately.

Instead, he calculated the time after he had started running off after placing the tags.

'I have around eleven seconds. That would place me here.' Kazuo thought as he arrived at the same location where he had died before.

Raising his hands, Kazuo used his newest paper-style technique.

'Paper Person of God Technique'

Four hundred explosion tags rose up into the air and flew to the location where Killer B had stopped for a moment.

The explosion tags are immediately camouflaged with the surroundings, making them completely invisible.

This process took ten seconds.

Immediately after, Kazuo ran toward the mission location once more.

Following his actions exactly, he followed the exact same escape path he had used before and the exact same jutsu.

"Yo, it's Killa B, here to bring the heat,

Droppin' bars so hard, I'll knock you off your feet."

Looking at the man, Kazuo raised his hand and gave the guy a cheerful smile.

This seemed to confuse Killer B for a moment.

That was enough.

Raising both his hands up, looking as if he was holding something back, Kazuo said with a cheerful tone of voice.

"Yo, You're about to go boom boom"

"Huh?" 

This time, Killer B couldn't react in time as the ground underneath him lost its color, clearly showing the hundreds of paper tags.

It was however too late for even him to run away, His body falling through the tags as they completely engulfed him.

*Boom!!*

"Art is an explosion yo!" Kazuo said, his voice sarcastic.

*Boom*

And the world flipped on its head once more.

'I deserved that.'
