'Unfortunately, I don't have any information about how this will go, I barely remember the movie, so I guess you can say that this is the first time I'm going in fully blind in a mission that appeared in the series.' Kazuo thought to himself as he continued using the shunshin jutsu to follow behind the team.
His mind was overflowing with thoughts, but the entire thing didn't cause any stress to Kazuo.
He knew he couldn't ever die, really, and that was quite the calming thought if Kazuo were honest with himself.
His ability had already become an integral part of him, so much so that it had changed the way he thought completely.
If before, Kazuo had been afraid of death, afraid of harming himself, then now, it was more thoughts of how he could use his death as a means to gain a boon of some sort in whatever situation he found himself in.
The trip was quite long, with them having to take multiple breaks whilst heading toward the so called ruins.
It was only three days later that they arrived.
When they did they found themselves infront of a large stone gate behind which stood the people of Loran aswell as Anrokuzan, the antagonist of the movie who had infiltrated and slowly gained power over the royalty of this small kingdom of sorts.
Minato stopped and turned towards the group, his eyes clearly showing that he was in his mission mode, there would be no jokes or anything of the sort.
The mission completion stood at the forefront of his mind.
With a simple hand motion, Minato told the rest of them to quickly infiltrate, whilst he did the same.
With a quick nod of their heads, Kazuo, Obito, and Kakashi vanished from their spots and headed inside after opening the gate only a slight sliver.
Their chakra is already almost completely suppressed, making their chakra sensory abilities almost useless against them.
Kazuo headed straight, whilst Obito and Kakashi each chose a side to infiltrate.
Using the body flicker, Kazuo appeared in the middle of the settlement.
It was honestly quite surprising.
The large gates had been on the side of a small mountain however, once inside, it was clear that this place was under the effects of some kind of space sealing or the sort, as the area inside clearly was larger than the entire mountain could have been.
In the middle of this area stood a large black stone tower.
'That must be where the main events will be happening.' Kazuo thought as he immediately heard the sounds of combat from the east.
'Naruto and the rest must already be here.' Kazuo thought as he muted his presence even more before making a shadow clone and directing it toward the sounds of combat, whilst he headed straight toward the tower.
He had a different mission to complete.
'I either need Anrokuzans blood or the blood of the royalty here, that might work.' Kazuo thought to himself as he continued to use the body flicker until he arrived at the large tower, there were hundreds of windows besides the small gate at the bottom and as such Kazuo decided it was best to enter through those rather than the main gate.
Jumping tens of meters into the air, and landing on the small henge of a window silently, Kazuo quickly made a single-hand seal and placed his hand against the window.
His hand quickly heated up to hundreds of degrees in less than a second causing the glass to quickly melt, allowing him entry into the tower.
Once inside he found himself inside of a large hallway with a room infront of him and a pair of staircases on each side of him, one that went upwards whilst the other downward.
'I'm guessing that the royal room is at the top of this place.' Kauzo thought before making another shadow clone silently and having it search the rooms quietly whilst he headed towards the top of the tower at the highest speed he could manage whilst being hidden.
It was at this moment that a surge of information entered his mind.
Minato had already met up with Naruto and now the groups had split up once more, having to fight a large amount of puppets.
'That should be Anrokuzan's ability.' Kazuo thought to himself as he continued on his way.
Finally, after around an entire minute of using the body flicker, Kazuo arrived in front of a large, towering door at the top of the long tower.
Taking out a military pill, he quickly swallowed it before heading inside.
Creating two shadow clones had caused quite a noticeable drain on his reserves, usually, he wouldn't have minded however it was best to prepare as thoroughly as possible when against an unknown threat.
Opening the gates silently, Kazuo quickly slipped in, once inside he saw a man sitting atop a throne at the end of the chamber room he had found himself in.
The man was wearing a grayish almost white outfit with a turban on his head, he had brown shaggy hair and a brown beard together with a mustache.
His eyes made him almost look saddened and gave the man an innocent look however, his deep black eyes seemed almost crazed, completely contradicting such a look.
'That's Anrokuzan, huh?' Kazuo thought to himself before giving a shrug of his shoulders and using the body flicker.
Besides the man stood two large puppets that seemed to have been made out of some chakra metal however those weren't much of a problem in Kauzo's eyes.
Appearing in front of the man in less than a fraction of a second, Kazuo quickly produced a syringe that he plunged into the man's neck.
Anrokuzan's eyes widened as he stared in shock, however, it was over before he could do anything.
Kazuo quickly filled the syringe with the man's blood before using the body flicker to disappear from view once more, having already left the chambers before Anrokuzan could even move an inch.
'I want to see how this proceeds, if something goes wrong because of my interfiernence than i could simply turn back time to this moment and end it prematurely.' Kazuo thought to himself as he stood a few floors below from where he had been merely moments earlier.
Taking out the syringe filled with blood, Kazuo opened the system menu and headed to the mission segment.
[ Bloodline Mission ]
[ 0/3 ]
Kazuo stared at it for a moment before furrowing his brows.
'How do I even know this is the blood I need? Maybe it's not, however, what if it is? Do I have to inject myself with it?' Kazuo thought as his brain started processing the information he had at an unbelievable speed.
'No, I think it's not it. Anrokuzan himself didn't hold any abilities related to time, he merely used the chakra of this place to cause this time distortion, and he clearly needed the royalty, and if so, then the correct blood should be that of the princess instead of his.' Kazuo thought to himself before releasing a sigh of frustration.
