Naruto: The Time Looper

"Good, lets chase after them slowly, we wouldn't want to fall into a trap aswell, we would be saying goodbye to our's and Rin's life if that happened." Kazuo said towards Kakashi who nodded his head after a moment of thought and then lifted his hand to his mouth.

Biting his thumb until the skin tore and a trickle of blood appeared, Kakashi quickly lowered his hand and quickly made a set of hand signs.

'Summoning Jutsu' Kazuo thought as he saw Kakashi slam his hand onto the ground and a puff of smoke appeared an instant later.

'Damn unhygienic as hell.' Kazuo thought as he saw what Kakashi had summoned.

It was a small brown dog with a blue knoha headband tied around his neck.

"Track this scent," Kakashi said as he immediately took out a piece of cloth from his ninja bag.

He always kept a piece of cloth from all of his teammates in times like this, so that he could be prepared to track them down.

The dog nodded its head and quickly took a few sniffs of the fabric before nodding its small head once more and turning towards the direction where Kazuo and Kakashi had seen the ninjas run.

They wouldn't have needed the dog for tracking earlier however if they were going to do this slowly then they could lose track of the enemies after a while as they would be too far ahead of them when running at much higher speeds.

They couldn't use Kakashi's Sharingan either as it took way too much chakra and even if they did find the enemy faster that way, Kakashi would already be too spent to defeat them.

Nodding his head at the pup, Kakashi quickly took it off the ground and put it on its shoulder where the dog quickly latched itself on his neck.

"Let's go. Every three minutes you use tremor sense Kazuo." Kakashi said as he immediately used the body flicker.

Kazuo nodded his head and quickly followed behind him.

Unlike before, the two of them were going at a much slower pace and checking their surroundings closely so that they could detect any traps that the enemy might have set.

*Rustle*

Hearing the rustle of a bush a dozen meters away, Kazuo quickly turned his attention and saw a large amount of kunai and shuriken heading towards them.

'A trap' 

Without using a single seal, Kazuo quickly channeled his chakra in a certain pattern.

*Thrank*

The kunai quickly hit his body however that was merely an illusion as with a puff of smoke, in place of Kazuo, a log of wood appeared.

Looking at his previous location, Kazuo saw that Kakashi had followed his example and now was standing a few feet away from his previous location, having used a substitution as well.

"Seems like you were right Kazuo, they did plan on kidnapping Rin from the start. Though I'm unsure why?" Kakashi said as he started running once more, Kazuo quickly following behind him.

"I don't have an Idea either, both my reputation and yours far surpass that of Rin, I can understand capturing you who had a Sharingan and are the son of the white fang as well as the greatest genius of the leaf but Nohara Rin?" Kazuo said before releasing a humming sound.

"Unless they wanted to capture her so that they could lead us somewhere as I previously said, this feels quite like a trap set up for us."

"That's true however even if it's a trap, I don't plan on abandoning Rin," Kakashi replied, his voice harsh as he said his last words.

"I don't plan on it either, it's just an observation of the situation we are in currently," Kazuo said as he continued following Kakashi's lead.

Minutes turned into hours as Kakashi and Kazuo continued following Rin's kidnappers.

Finally, as the new day was coming to a close in the evening hours, Kakashi and Kazuo found Rin once more.

She was lying in an alar of sorts whilst around ten men were guarding her.

"Just what is this?" Kakashi mumbled to himself before releasing a sigh.

In an instant before he could fully release his breath, Kakashi disappeared from his location, appearing in the middle of the enemy group instantly.

He had already made Kazuo confirm that there were no other enemies besides the ones guarding Rin.

Having confirmed that fact, he was more than confident enough in dispatching this group.

Kazuo who saw the scene in front of him had a slight grin on his face as he saw Kakashi rush in.

'Seem's like they've already sealed the three tails inside her. They only left ten guards behind but even these guys are merely weak fakes who were abandoned by the mist. They are planning to let Rin go in the first place however they need to keep the plan hidden.' Kazuo thought as he quickly analyzed all of the information that he had just gained as well as the information that he knew from the Anime in his past life.

'They however won't let me and Kakashi leave alive, that was the reason that they were chasing after Kakashi and Rin after he saved her. They only plan on letting Rin return to the leaf village so that she can go out of control and then release the three tails in the middle of the hidden leaf, causing mass chaos to ensue.' Kazuo thought before slightly shaking his head.

'Even that plan is merely there to hide the real one. After all the hidden mist is already under Madara's control.' 

'The real reason is that whilst chasing behind Rin and Kakashi and causing them to feel like there is no way out for them, Rin sacrifices herself after learning this so-called hidden plan of the mist and right at that moment Obito sees her death, causing his eyes to evolve into the mangekyou sharingan.' Kazuo thought before releasing a sigh.

'Well it's time that I head into the battle as well, i have to keep up appearances here.'

I hope you guys liked this chapter though it was more thinking on Kazuo's part as I wanted to show a little of his intellect though I'm unsure if I managed to write that part correctly.
