[ User has survived the 3rd Shinobi World War ]
[ User has gained the following rewards! ]
[ User Bloodline has been activated by 3 % ]
[ Random B rank Hidden Jutsu! ]
[ User has gained 1 small Grade Stat Upgrade! ]
Looking at the line of text appearing before him on the blue holographic screen, Kazuo felt the urge to start jumping up and down on the spot.
‘Don't laugh, don't laugh.’ Kazuo thought to himself as he felt the urge to release a laugh that would resemble what a young master from Chinese novels would release.
Placing his fist in front of his mouth, he quickly calmed himself down before thinking of claiming the rewards.
In the next moment, all notifications disappeared from his view.
The next second a new batch of them appeared, announcing that he had claimed the rewards.
[ User’s bloodline has reached 5%! ]
[ User’s skill has leveled up as a consequence! ]
[Rolling B rank Hidden Jutsu! ]
[ User has gained the Paper Clone Technique! ]
‘Paper clone? A variation of the shadow clone or is it a variation of the elemental clones?’ Kazuo thought for a moment before turning his gaze to the next notification.
He couldn’t try the Jutsu out here in the open either way.
‘A skill has been upgraded because of my bloodline activation? It’s likely the time loop isn’t it.’ Kazuo thought as he opened the skill menu.
[ Time Loop ] [ Rank 2 ]
This time he couldn't stop himself as a wide grin spread on his face.
‘I didn’t get any information even though the skill did level up however, so it seems like I’ll have to do some experimenting to find out just what the second rank entails.’ Kazuo thought.
Next on the list was the status upgrade.
Opening his Status Menu, Kazuo gave each stat a quick look.
[ Affiliation: Hidden Leaf Village ]
[ 1 Small Grade Upgrade Available! ]
Without wasting a single second, Kazuo placed the status point in his intelligence, raising its rank even further.
‘Good, this should make learning and mastering Jutsu even easier than before.’ Kazuo thought before fully closing the system menu.
It was time for some training once again.
Hours passed and soon enough the evening arrived.
Stopping his practice of the taijutsu kata of Minato’s taijutsu, Kazuo turned around and started walking toward the exit of the training grounds.
The rest of team seven had already left, they had even invited him to some ichiraku but he had politely refused.
‘I’m still too weak, and from the looks of it, my increase in strength will be slowing down massively now that I don't have access to the war and easy missions from the System.’ Kazuo thought for a moment before a new thought entered his mind.
‘With the war ending, that means that in around two years, Minato Namikaze will die and the nine tails will attack the hidden leaf. That will most certainly give a mission.’ Kazuo thought before his mind wandered to the attacker of said night.
‘Obito Uchiha, I’ll have to kill him during that night. With Madara already dead by that point, it is nowhere near as dangerous as before. However, to kill Obito Uchiha is something that's easy to say but quite hard to do.’ Kazuo thought as he scratched the back of his head in frustration.
He had thought of ways to kill Obito hundreds of times however he had always ended up blank, the man’s eyes were simply too broken.
‘He also has Izanagi.’ Kazuo thought of more and more ways that Obito could escape him whilst he found no ways for him to defeat the man.
Releasing a long-winded sigh, Kazuo decided that he would have to ignore that plan for the moment at least until he grew much stronger than he was at the moment.
Walking through the streets of Konoha, Kazuo quickly arrived at his destination, it was the same rusty blacksmith shop that he had gone to to get his training weights.
Recently he had noticed that the weights had become useless, with strength on par with a Chunnin and Agility as well as Endurance on the same level, the weights weren’t doing much for him anymore.
As soon as he opened the door, a bell rang signaling the owner that a customer had entered the shop.
“Hey!” Kazuo said with a smile as he waved his hand at the man.
“Oh, you’re back kiddo! What do you need today?” The man said in reply, a soft smile on his face.
“I wanted to get the gravity seals. I’ve already exceeded these guys.” Kazuo said with a smile as he showed the training weights on his wrist.
“Ooh, a hard worker aren’t you!” The man said with a chuckle before turning around and grabbing a pair of four training weights.
They had a beige color and were inscribed with a fuinjutsu seal of some kind.
“To increase the resistance on them you simply have to pour in chakra into the seal at the front whilst to lower it you need to pour chakra into the seals at the sides of the weights.” The man said as he placed the weights on the counter.
They didn’t make any sounds, appearing light.
‘Fuinjutsu really is mysterious, I’ll have to get Minato to train me on them before he dies.’ Kazuo thought as he opened his ninja bag, looking for the money to pay for the seals.
“Ah, you can also just give me the seals you bought last time and just pay the difference.” The blacksmith said before Kazuo could take out the full amount.
“Are you sure sir? I don’t mind paying.”
“It's quite all right, I’ve heard all about your contributions to the village young Kazuo.” The man replied with a hearty smile.
Nodding his head, Kazuo gave back the seals he used and paid the difference before grabbing the gravity seals and heading out of the shop.
Immediately wearing them, Kazuo quickly adjusted the resistance with the seals before finding a level that was slightly higher than the weights he had just given back and then continuing to walk towards his apartment.

Here’s the chapter guys!
Thanks for the support as always!
I felt was enough of a reward considering that Kazuo didn't really contribute much in the grand scheme of things to the third world war.
