Naruto: The Time Looper

Turning around Kazou quickly surveyed the situation around him before crouching down and taking the cloud ninja bag and quickly stealing anything he thought would be of use.

'Two paper tag kunai and three paper explosion tags as well as two more soldier pills' Kazuo thought as he quickly bagged his loot and then took the ninjas short sword before turning around and heading to the next enemy.

The situation was grim, four of the leaf shinobi had already been killed however the other side had similarly sustained injuries and deaths.

In fact, five of their shinobi had been killed if Kazuo included the kid he had killed.

Taking two explosion tags, Kazuo quickly turned them into crumpled balls as he had the previous time and held them in his left arm whilst he used his right dominant arm to hold the short sword before slowly and as sneakily as he could, he came closer to two cloud shinobi who were fighting a leaf ninja.

It was clear from the battle that the leaf shinobi was stronger than each of the cloud ninjas however he couldn't deal with both of them at the same time.

In the chaos of the battle, even Kazuo's sneaking abilities were enhanced just by the battlefield itself.

Finally, the leaf shinobi seemed unable to hold on and was pushed back, one of his arms badly damaged by a lightning-release jutsu.

The two cloud ninjas didn't waste the opportunity and quickly jumped to the leaf shinobi so that they could finish the job.

Kazuo had been waiting for this however and now he was close enough that he could finally act, taking out two kunai that had an explosion tag placed on them he flung them to the back of the two cloud ninjas before quickly throwing both of the crumpled ones right at the leaf shinobi.

The cloud shinobi saw the two crumpled papers that quickly lit up, their expressions changing immediately as they took a backstep.

*Bang*

With a loud explosion sound the papers exploded, completely incinerating the downed leaf shinobi however the cloud ninjas were still fine as they looked through the black cloud of smoke, directly at Kazuo who had thrown them.

A sinister expression took over their faces as they smiled.

"You killed your own shinobi tree hugger"

"I always knew you bastards would even betray your comrades, so much for that shitty will of fire eh?" The other cloud shinobi sneered as he looked at Kazuo.

"Yeah, who the fuck follows a shitty will," Kazuo said before making another rat seal.

When the two cloud shinobi had backstepped they had arrived right next to the two exploding kunai.

"Kai"

The sneering expressions on the cloud ninjas' faces quickly changed to ones of horror as they stared at Kazuo however it was much too late.

With an explosion much larger than the one from the crumpled tags, both of them were completely incinerated as their limbs flew into the air, completely detached from their bodies.

'Shit, this is stressful' Kazuo thought, not even taking a second look at the bodies and rather surveying the area once more, it seemed the battle had started to take a turn as the leaf shinobi used teamwork that surpassed the cloud to turn the tides of battle.

'I already killed three, what are you fuckers doing' Kazuo thought before quickly running toward another ninja.

This time his target was another kid who looked like he hadn't even hit puberty yet.

The kid was fighting another young Gennin from the leaf, it seemed that they had coordinated the attack so that the cloud young Gennin would fight the leaf Gennin.

Kazuo didn't plan anything this time as he quickly joined the battle, using the short sword he had gotten to swing at the cloud ninja's nape.

The leaf shinobi nodded at Kazuo before the two quickly joined forces and started teaming up on the kid from the cloud.

"Just give up you adopted son of a bitch" Kazuo said as he started swearing profanities at the cloud ninja constantly.

Sweat was dripping down his chin as he did so, Kazuos body shook after each strike he deflected however he didn't give up.

'Compared to that fucker, you're nothing'

Taking out a few shuriken from his bag, Kazuo used his shortsword and swung at the right side of the cloud ninja, causing him to dodge left however just before he had sidestepped, Kazuo had already thrown the shuriken where he had predicted the ninja would move to.

*Shqlick* *Shqlick* *Shqlick*

All three shuriken landed right on the young ninja's face, one pierced his eye, the other went straight through his nose, and the last one into his mouth, spelling his doom.

*Thump*

'Four down' Kazuo thought before turning around and looking at his next target, however, it was at this moment when the battlefield changed entirely.

It happened so suddenly that Kazuo didn't know what was happening for a moment.

Tens of three-pronged kunai fell all over the battlefield and in the very next instant, a yellow flash went all around the battlefield.

11 cloud ninjas were decapitated the very next second.

Kazuo simply stood as he watched the bodies fall to the ground.

He hadn't even seen anything besides a yellow flash and suddenly the battle was over.

It was so abrupt that it caused Kazuo to drop his sword in surprise.

'Minato Namikaze'

And then cheers erupted from every single ninja in the camp at the hero who had arrived on the battlefield.

'Just how strong are you? I guess seeing it in reality really is different' Kazuo thought before releasing a long sigh.

'I did all that work to kill four of them and you just evaporated eleven of them in a fraction of a second. I guess this is what a shinobi with a flee-on-sight order looks like'

It took only a few seconds for the sounds of battle to completely stop around the camp and for silence to take over only to be overtaken by the cheers of the leaf shinobi.
