Naruto: The Time Looper

Walking into the hidden leaf for the first time since he had transmigrated felt like a surreal experience to Kazuo.

It was like he was still in a dream, rather it would be more appropriate to call it a nightmare at the moment.

Using the body flicker, Kazuo used the memories of this body to find his way toward the Hokage building.

Heading inside, Kazuo quickly went to the receptionist.

"I have an emergency report for the Hokage from Shikaru Nara," Kazuo said as he looked at the woman behind the desk, his eyes faintly shaking as he tried to express his emotions better.

The woman looked at Kazuo startled for a brief moment before nodding her head and heading up to the Hokage office immediately.

Merely seconds later, Kazuo received the seal of approval and headed up the stairs to the Hokage office.

He was now merely seconds away from meeting the Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen who was considered as the second god of shinobi, was a ninja that had mastered all five chakra natures and countless jutsu which gave him the title of professor.

And Kazuo, a mere genin in the clothes of a Chunnin was going to be meeting him, and trying to lie directly to his face and then get away with it.

The hurdle in front of Kazuo was hard, impossibly so however Kazuo had no other option besides going Rogue which he didn't really wish upon himself, it would slow down his training speed immensely and he would lose access to getting jutsu from the leaf, having to rely on his system completely.

As he came to the third floor of the building and walked for what was only a few meters, Kazuo came face to face with a large wooden door.

On the right side of it, there was a golden plate with only a single word inscribed upon it.

'Hokage'

Reading the sign, Kazuo took a deep breath before steeling his will and resolve.

*Knock* *Knock*

There was a moment of silence before Kauzo heard a voice call him in.

"Come in"

Nodding to himself, Kazuo opened the door and headed inside, making sure to close it after him.

Walking to the middle of the room, Kazuo knelt down on one knee and loudly announced.

"It is a pleasure to know that Lord Hokage is in good health, i have an emergent report to make about the battlefield on the border of the Hot Waters and the Cloud," Kauzo said all at once.

He wanted to get this done as quickly as possible whilst also being as polite as he could.

He had yet to even glance at the Hiruzen's face, fearing that the old monstrous ninja would be able to tell something wrong in an instant.

"Rise up, Kazuo," Hirzuen said after a moment of silence.

'He already read my file whilst I was coming here, making sure to know at least my name and some of my backstory so that he could use it in the conversation and garner more respect and love from me about him as a leader and the leaf itself.' Kazuo quickly thought once he heard the man call him by name.

He had never talked to Hiruzen in this life and neither had the previous owner of this body so any other explanation was illogical besides the one that clearly tells you he's trying to use manipulation tactics.

Getting up and straightening his body, Kazuo finally lifted his head to look up at the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf.

Not looking at the military leader now would be extremely strange and would be a cause for suspicion.

The man looked different from how he had in the anime and manga that Kazuo had watched and read in his past life.

He had brown spiky hair with almost no wrinkles on his face.

It was clear that he wasn't young as his skin had started to deteriorate however he still looked like a man in his prime.

'This guy's still in his fucking prime isn't he?' Kazuo thought as he looked at Hiruzen.

Kazuo had a lot of respect for Hiruzen and Danzo, whilst he hated the two to death, one more than the other. Kazuo could give his respect to them.

They were shinobi without cheats, shinobi who had trained their ass off in order to achieve the amount of power that they had, they had studied, trained, and used every single thing at their disposal to arrive at where they were now.

And to Kazuo, that was something respectable.

Someone who Kazuo hated even more than the two would be Nagato, a man who had been given the Rinnegan but had achieved almost nothing in the end.

"Give your report Kazuo." Hiruzen finally said as he nodded his head.

"Yes sir!" Kazuo almost shouted before taking a deep breath and starting to spew his string of lies interwoven with truths.

"We were ambushed when we arrived at the meeting location with the three other camps. The enemy had killed the other camps and had been wearing disguises to pretend that they were hidden leaf shinobi, Shikaru noticed something wrong almost immediately and told me to be ready to flee back and report to the leaf so I stood on guard as Shikaru headed to the middle of the clearing to talk to the other three camp leaders." Kazuo said before he took a shaking breath.

"And then they severed his head and all hell went loose sir, I didn't see anything else as I followed Shikaru's orders and ran to the leaf as fast as I could without looking back even once," Kazuo said as his eyes started tearing up, his voice getting clogged up, as he continued.

"Im sorry, I was a coward, Lord Hokage," Kazuo said as he fell down onto his knees, his head hanging low.

'You better believe me you old perverted fuck, I pulled an entire skit here just for this shit.' Kazuo thought to himself as he sat on the ground, his eyes looking at the ground as tears dropped from his eyes from staying open for too long and looking at the same spot.
