Chapter 63

He lay down on the broken bed after closing the door using the kunai method that he had practically mastered after doing it for so many times.

Kazuo opened his mission menu.

There was still one last reward that had yet to be claimed and sure enough, immediately a pop-up appeared before him.

He had ignored it during the stress of the moment however now it was time for him to see.

'A random hidden A rank Jutsu.' Kazuo thought as he read the pop-up up in front of him.

[ User has gained 1 Random Hidden A-Rank Jutsu ]

[ Ding!! ]

[ User has gained the Paper person of god technique!! ]

Kazuo's eyes immediately widened, he knew this jutsu.

It was at that moment that the expected headache came, however this time, it was much worse.

It was so much information that he felt like his head was about to burst open.

It continued for around three minutes before Kazuo felt the headache subside and give him clarity once more.

'Paper Person of God Technique is a jutsu created by Konan of the Akatsuki to be used specifically against Madara Uchiha, who is in actuality Obito Uchiha in disguise. The Jutsu relies heavily on an extreme quantity of explosion tags which is a huge limiter for me even if you do not take into account the amount of chakra needed to use all of those explosion tags at the same time or the amount of preparation needed to launch the jutsu.' Kazuo thought however contrary to these thoughts, Kazuo had a wide smile on his face.

In fact, he felt excited enough that he wanted to head to training ground one immediately.

'The useful part of this jutsu is the fact that it gives me the knowledge on how to perfectly camouflage my paper jutsu as well as explosion tags. It is such sophisticated camouflage that even the Mangekyou Sharingan of Obtio couldn't notice the hidden explosion tags.' Kazuo thought to himself before quickly getting up from his bed and heading to a small drawer on the other side of the room.

Inside of which, large stacks of white paper were stored.

Taking out one paper sheet, Kazuo immediately performed his first paper jutsu.

The white paper converged into itself and it continued folding upon itself until what remained in Kazuo's hand was no longer a large sheet of paper but rather a white paper shuriken.

'Now, let's see.' Kazuo thought as he tried replicating only a small part of the Paper God Technique.

Thankfully, he had used and even researched the paper shuriken technique for a while, and he was now able to at least manage this much.

With all of the information inside his head, Kazuo performed it.

The Shuriken in his hand disappeared.

It was as if it had folded into the air itself however Kazuo could still clearly feel the light weight in his palm.

'With this, my ranged attacks have become much more deadly, however, it will still be useless against a hyuga or Uchiha sadly.' Kazuo thought as he released a shallow sigh, the smile on his face didn't droop, however.

'The paper shuriken still carry traces of chakra which can be seen by dojutsu users however to everyone else, they won't be visible unless they are some extreme type of chakra sensors.' Kazuo thought as he shifted his hand made a proper shurikenjutsu stance and threw the invisible shuriken toward his wall.

*Thunk*

A tearing sound after, Kazuo saw the wall pierced and the camouflage over the shuriken failing as it reappeared before his eyes.

'Good, this is good enough for now. Next in line is to completely master the jutsu that I stole from the library.' Kazuo thought as his mind went back to the large amount of Jutsu he had stolen from the B-rank Ninja Library.

'That will sadly have to wait until tomorrow.' Kazuo thought as he headed back to his bed.

His eyes already felt heavy, sleep was going to be quick.

And it was, as always however it wasn't a peaceful embrace.

Running through a forest, hundreds of ninjas behind him, death occurring over and over only for it to be overcome and then for Kazuo to find himself inside a jail cell.

Danzo's face sneered at him as what appeared to be a Yamanaka came closer, just as the man's hand was about to touch Kazuo's head.

The dream shattered and Kazuo woke up.

*Huff* *Huff*

Releasing harsh breaths, Kazuo quickly calmed himself down and lifted his body up from the broken bed.

It had become a usual routine.

The dream had been rougher than usual however still within expectations.

Eating his morning breakfast quickly, Kazuo headed toward the door, his next destination. Training ground one, or at least it was supposed to be training ground one.

As soon as Kazuo opened the door, he found Minato with Kakashi and Rin standing behind their sensei.

Minato's hand was held up as if he was just about to knock.

"Hello? Minato Senpai, what brings you here?" Kazuo questioned as he looked at the yellow-haired man. 

Minato gave an awkward smile as gave a light wave.

"Hello Kazuo, We came here to tell you that the Hokage has assigned you to team seven permanently. You were supposed to be told later this week however we decided to do some training and I wondered if you wanted to join in?" Minato said as he lifted his hand and rubbed the back of his head.

Kazuo felt like the world had turned upside down.

'Me? Team seven? What is that old bag of bones thinking? Was my impression that good? No, there's no way it was good enough to warrant this, however, if you think about this from another perspective.' Kazuo thought as he gave Minato an excited nod.

"Ok Minato Sensei, just give me a moment please," Kazuo said as he turned around and headed inside quickly.

It wasn't that he needed to prepare, he already was prepared for training.

He simply wanted a brief moment to sort his thoughts.

'He's using Minato as both a reward as well as a way to closely monitor me, when compared to Shikaru who couldn't keep an eye on me at all times in the battlefield, Minato's much more dangerous.' Kazuo thought as he felt an incoming headache.

Here's the daily chapter, thanks for reading!

I bet Kazuo hates me by now, thankfully he isn't real or I'd definitely be on his hit list.

I also really wanted to call Minato a Pikachu instead of 'The yellow-haired man' However I decided against it for the sake of immersion sadly.
