Days continued to flow by, time unstopping though time was experienced differently by everyone.
Some who were stuck in the academy classroom felt like it was going at a crawl whilst others who were having fun with their friends on the streets of the hidden leaf felt that it was going past them in a flash.
For a special person, time was repeated over and over.
Releasing harsh breath Kazuo felt like he was suffocating.
‘Two hundred and sixteen times.’ Kazuo thought to himself as his body moved towards the left as soon as he opened his eyes.
The bed where he had been sleeping until now was immediately pierced by a dozen kunai, kunai with explosion tags covering them completely.
‘Fuck, Fuck, Fuck…’ Kazuo continued spouting profanities in his mind as he formed hand seals at immense speeds.
“Water style: Enhanced Severing Water Wave” Kazuo muttered as what looked like a high-speed torrent of water escaped from his mouth, severing everything in its path, and completely destroying the small green tent he was in.
Kazuo didn’t stop however as he quickly made a shadow clone without using a single hand seal.
The shadow clone didn’t stay still for a moment as it immediately summoned a flurry of white paper sheets which quickly formed two wings on his back.
Using them, it quickly launched itself up into the air and outside of the tent which was already falling in and around Kazuo who was still inside.
It was at this moment that Kazuo’s chakra quickly changed path and went through a predetermined motion, allowing him to use another jutsu.
“Earth Style: Hiding like a mole jutsu.”
Kazuo’s body quickly disappeared underground and started swimming through the ground at high speeds.
‘Faster, faster.’ Kazuo thought to himself as he pushed more and more chakra into the earth around him, making it grow even softer and allowing him to go through the ground even faster.
‘Why the fuck did I have to meet that guy. Why is he after me in the first place.’ Kazuo thought to himself as he felt like cursing the sage of six paths to death.
Above ground, hundreds of meters away from Kazuo who was still trying his best to run away and in the middle of a camp that was currently on fire, two people stood or rather one stood on the ground whilst the other floated on the air with the use of two paper angelic wings.
“Chunnin Kazuo, having a bounty of sixty million ryo.” The man standing on the ground said, his face contorted into a grin as he looked at Kazuo.
“Kakuzu, the man who ran with his tail between his legs like a little wimpy bitch as soon as he saw the first Hokage.” Kazuo offered in return as a reply to the man.
Kakuzu didn't respond with words in return, the man simply was engulfed by hundreds of what looked like human hair strands.
Four masked monsters made of human hair appeared next to him almost instantly.
“I’ll make sure to only leave your head intact.” Kakuzu offered as his body’s color changed slightly in color, becoming more metallic-like.
“I don’t think you can even catch me.” Kazuo offered in return before showing a smirk.
“I could have escaped whenever I wanted, but I just can’t do it,” Kazuo said as he released a large sigh as if he was pained by the entire scenario in front of him.
“I just can’t stand not killing such an unsightly hairy bastard such as yourself.”
Kakuzu didn’t let him say another word as the four masked monsters immediately jumped toward Kazuo’s location. Their mouths opened wide and released four different elemental jutsu.
Water, Lightning, Wind, and Fire.
Kazuo’s shadowclone however simply raised an eyebrow as he brought his wings together as if to protect himself.
At that moment the paper at the front of the wings shined in a azure blue color as hundreds of seals were activated.
“Fuin” Kazuo muttered as the four elemental jutsu were sucked into the papers.
‘I had to waste this shit for you.’ Kazuo thought as he spread his wings wide once more.
In an instant, all four elemental jutsu that had been sealed were released and thrown back toward the masked monsters.
‘I had to promise Kushina four months of free ramen, do you know how much money I wasted for this shit!’ Kazuo thought to himself as he immediately launched himself toward the four masked monsters.
His speed was immense as he appeared next to the monsters who had dodged the rebounded elemental jutsu almost instantly.
“Kai bitch.” Kazuo said as all the papers that made up his wings lit up at once.
It wasn’t just the paper’s even he himself, the shadow clone lit up.
With a sound that reverberated for kilometers, the clone and the paper tags exploded.
Completely incinerating and vanquishing the paper monsters.
Kakuzu was left alone in the field, he hadn’t been caught by the explosion however his expression was far from good.
In a deep gravelly voice, the man announced to himself as he grabbed three dead bodies around him.
“I'll get your heart if it’s the last thing I do,” Kakuzu said as he pierced the three leaf shinobi’s chests and stole their hearts, implanting them inside his own body.
Meanwhile, Kazuo who was running away still, now being more than a hundred kilometers away finally stopped.
“Take that you fucker.” Kazuo thought as he immediately started making hand seals, creating two more shadow clones.
“Make more explosion seals,” Kazuo ordered as he sat down in a meditative pose, trying to regain any amount of chakra he could.
‘Why is my luck so fucking trashy.’ Kazuo thought as he remembered how all this shit had started.
1 Day ago inside the hidden leaf village.
"This will be used as your Jonnin promotion exam Chunnin Kazuo"
