Naruto: The Time Looper

On the west district of the Hidden Leaf village, stood a three-story apartment complex.

*Bang*

A noise was heard from inside of the rooms in the building.

"Ah fuck, and here I thought that I had escaped those fucking dreams." A slightly deep voice said.

*step* *step* *step*

The sound of steps was heard as the person walked towards the front of the complex where a large window stood, allowing him to look at the sight below.

Even early in the morning, the street below was bustling with tens of villagers going about their daily lives.

'How long has it been since the last time I had a mission with those guys?'

Turning around, he looked to the right where a large full-body mirror stood.

The mirror reflected the figure of a young teen.

With short black hair and abyss-like black eyes.

He was wearing black shinobi pants and a dark green Chunnin vest and a Konoha headband tied around his forehead.

He stood at five foot ten, quite tall for a leaf shinobi.

It was Kazuo.

'Well then, I better get going.' Kazuo thought as he walked outside of the apartment, making sure to lock the door behind him before using a seal-less body flicker to disappear seemingly into thin air, only to reappear on the roof of a building almost a hundred meters away.

This flickering continued until he arrived before the large green gates of the hidden leaf village.

There he saw two people already waiting for him.

"Yo, it's been a while, Kakashi, Rin," Kazuo said as he waved his hand with a soft smile on his face.

"Hey Kazuo, where have you been?" Rin replied excitedly as she walked closer to him, her expression excited as she gave Kazuo a hug.

"Just training. I'm still trying to get that Jonin qualification." Kazuo replied before he saw Kakashi nod his head.

"Still as silent as ever?"

"Yeah, that's Kakashi alright," Rin said with a light giggle.

"So, what's our mission this time?" Kazuo asked curiously.

"Let's get going, I'll explain on the way," Kakashi replied before flickering in the direction of the gates.

Nodding their heads, Kazuo and Nohara Rin quickly followed their teammate.

Minutes after, already more than a few kilometers away from the village, Kakashi finally spoke.

"We're heading to the hidden mist village to meet up with some of our spies there as a routine check," Kakashi said before throwing a light blue scroll towards Kazuo who quickly caught it.

Unfurling the scroll, Kazuo felt a slight headache.

'It's 'that' mission isn't it?'

Just then, as if to further cement his prediction, a bell-like sound rang inside Kazuo's mind.

[ Ding! ]

[ Mission has been generated! ]

[ Survive the Kiri Mission. ]

[ Rewards: Random Elemental Affinity Mastery. ]

*Sigh*

Releasing an inward sigh, Kazuo handed the scroll to Rin who was running next to him.

'This will be quite hard.'

Minutes turned into hours before the climate and environment around them started to change.

The once dense forest turned into a murky swamp.

"We'll be camping here for the night, tomorrow we will arrive at the meeting location," Kakashi announced before nodding his head toward Kazuo.

Giving a nod in reply, Kazuo quickly lowered himself to the ground and placed five fingers down on the dirt below.

Closing his eyes, Kazuo focused for a brief moment.

'Earth Style: Tremor Sense'

Immediately after, he started to feel all of the vibrations of the earth.

Snapping his eyes open, Kazuo didn't say a word before disappearing from his location.

Ten seconds later, he was back holding a man by the neck.

"Just a couple of bandits, I eliminated all but the leader in case they had any useful information," Kazuo said placing the frightened man down on the ground.

"Good job, I'll take over from here," Kakashi said with a nod before walking to the man and lifting his headband which he used to cover one of his eyes.

As soon as the bandit leader gazed into Kakashi's left eye, the Sharingan that he had been gifted from Obito Uchiha, he lost consciousness.

Straightening himself up once more, Kakashi turned to Kazuo and Rin, his hand moving at imperceptible speeds as it grabbed the short blade on Kakashi's back and used it to slice the man's head off.

"Nothing useful."

"I see," Kazuo replied before turning towards Rin.

During the time that they spent capturing and interrogating the bandit, Nohara Rin had already set up camp.

"Who's taking the first watch?" Rin asked as she turned toward the two.

"I'll take the first watch, Kazuo second and you last," Kakashi replied to Rin.

'He's doing this so that Kakashi and I are in better condition whilst Rin's condition doesn't matter as much as she is a non-combatant.' Kazuo thought before nodding to the gray-haired ninja and heading into his tent.

'I would have done the same, just that I would have switched Kakashi's and my placement.' Kazuo thought to himself as he lay down and closed his eyes.

Sleep was fast, something he had trained so as to be able to get sleep even in the most dire circumstances if he wanted to.

Around two and a half hours later, Kazuo was woken up by Kakashi's voice.

"Wake up, it's your turn." 

"Alright, have a nice rest," Kazuo replied as his eyes snapped open and he got up from the bed.

Heading outside, Kazuo walked to the middle of the camp where a small stone stood and sat down.

'Status' Kazuo thought.
