‘I guess the time has come. The time for my beautiful art to be shown to these mongrels,’ Kazuo thought as a devilish smile rose on his face.
Making the tiger hand seal, Kazuo quickly channeled his chakra in a specific pattern.
Normally he didn’t have to use hand seals to interact with his papers however by using a hand seal he could extend his range further than usual aswell as use the technique more precisely which would lead to him releasing a small chakra signal.
“Time to get this show on the road.” Kazuo thought as he brought his hands down.
It didn’t take more than a few seconds for massive explosions to be heard coming from the other side of the city.
‘All right, let’s go.’
With that final thought, Kazuo vanished from his position.
With speed that surpassed most if not all Jonin-level ninjas, Kazuo arrived on top of the mansion gates in less than a second.
The Guards hadn’t even noticed his movement as Kazuo ignored them completely and vanished once more, this time appearing next to the main building of the mansion complex.
At the same second that he appeared, his body was quickly enveloped by hundreds of paper sheets, those paper sheets then changed color a mere fraction of a second later.
To the onlookers, the position where Kazuo was at now looked just like before, with nobody in sight.
“All right, the first stage is done,” Kazuo muttered as he placed his hand on the wall.
‘Earth style: Tremor sense jutsu.’
Closing his eyes, Kazuo felt all of the vibrations inside the mansion.
‘Fifteen guards, four of them are positioned near a room at the center of the building. That’s where the target is most likely.’ With those thoughts, Kazuo opened his eyes and lifted his hand from the wall.
His next course of action was to get inside of the building.
And so he did, he started walking towards the front door without hiding at all, his body completely covered with papers that made his figure completely invisible to the eyes of the guards.
He simply walked into the building moments later and then continued his way towards the center without hurry as if he was taking a stroll inside his own house.
Around a minute later, he arrived at his destination.
A large sliding door stood before him.
Making a single hand seal, the illusion that kept him invisible was cancelled and instead another illusion took its place.
Now he looked just like the guard he had seen at the front door of the mansion.
Without making a hand seal at all, a bunch of papers tore off his body and quickly gathered up together, making a paper clone.
With his preparations done, Kazuo opened the sliding door quickly.
The face of the guard illusion appeared stressed and hurried as he spoke.
“There’s been a large attack on the other side of the city.”
Inside the center room, four guards stood around a large king sized bed, where a middle aged man was currently enjoying himself.
“What!!” One of the guards asked as he turned towards Kazuo, his hand already holding a long katana.
Kazuo looked at the four before releasing a soft sigh.
All four of the guards were samurai.
‘I didn’t even need to do all this preparation.’
With that thought Kazuo together with his paper clone immediately used the shunshin and appeared right in front of the large bed.
That was all the target could mutter before Kazuo and his clone both detonated themselves in a humongous explosion.
Kazuo hadn’t even been there to begin with.
A shadow clone just outside of the mansion quickly used shunshin to appear next to the ruined building.
Quickly surveying around, he found what he had been looking for.
The dead body of the target.
With a nod of his head, he quickly released the jutsu and exploded in a puff of smoke.
Meanwhile, the real Kazuo was already on his way to get out of the Fire Capital.
Two and a half minutes later, Kazuo arrived outside of the city, and thirty seconds later, he arrived at the meeting point of his team.
The mission hadn’t taken even fifteen minutes.
“I had a harder time when I was promoted to a chunin,” Kazuo muttered to himself.
It was only two minutes later that he noticed something wrong.
‘They’re late.’ Kazuo thought as he felt like killing the chunnin himself.
‘Did they get caught?’ Kazuo inwardly thought as he gave a light sneer.
It was at this moment that he saw the three chunnin under him appear around two hundred meters away in front of him.
And together with the three, four shinobi were chasing after them.
“I knew it would have been easier to just do it alone.” Kazuo muttered before he made a handseal and disappeared underground meanwhile at the same time two shadow clones appeared where he stood.
One of the shadow clones headed up the trees and used paper illusion to hide himself whilst the other stood still.
Eight seconds later, the trio arrived.
“Sir, we’re being chased, we must get away as quickly as possible.”
Azuma quickly said as he looked at Kazuo who only furrowed his brows.
Azuma, Kisuke and Yajiro’s expressions quickly turned confused as they looked at Kazuo.
It was at this time that the four enemy shinobi appeared before them.
“They’re all jonin sir.” Kisuke quickly informed Kazuo.
“Doesn’t matter, even a genin can kill a Jonin,” Kazuo replied as he started walking towards the four.
It was at this moment that two of the four enemy shinobi fell down and blood got spewed high into the air.
“What!!” The two remaining shinobi quickly raised their guard as they gave a side glance at their dead comrades, not daring to fully leave Kazuo out of their sights.
It was at this moment that Kazuo used the body flicker jutsu.
His speed quickly multiplied as he arrived in front of the two shinobi.
And at that same moment, the shadow clone's body exploded.
Severely injuring one of the shinobi who couldn’t get away in time whilst lightly injuring the other.
The one that hadn’t been severely wounded however didn’t have a great fate await him.
The position he had jumped to was the one where the real Kazuo had been waiting.
At the same moment that the shinobi’s feet touched the ground, Kazuo’s hand tore up from it and grabbed his ankles, bringing him fully underground in less than a moment and severing his neck.
Meanwhile, the shinobi who had been wounded badly didn’t even have time to react as an invisible paper shuriken tore through the back of his head.
With that over, Kauzo quickly tore his way above ground and dusted himself off before turning toward the three chunnin.
“All done, let’s go.”
