'I've also increased my mastery of all academy jutsu, the only thing that I practiced but couldn't get higher was my body flicker, which will take a while to bring to perfect mastery.' Kazuo thought before his mind switched to what he had been thinking during the entire two weeks.

'A way to kill myself painlessly, I'll have to see if it actually works but this should be painless and quick.' Kazuo thought.

He had thought of using poison, using the water bullet technique wrongly again as well however in the end he ended up with his current idea.

By sending an exorbitant amount of chakra into his brain forcefully, causing the brain to explode and kill him instantly.

Taking a deep breath, Kazuo readied himself mentally and steeled his will.

'Three'

'Two'

Before he even counted to zero, Kazuo rushed his entire chakra reserves into his head, specifically his brain.

The overload happened instantly and...

*Thump*

Kazuo fell down face first into the ground.

Opening his eyes, Kazuo found himself back inside his apartment, the day had restarted once more and he was back on his broken bed.

*Inhale*

Taking a long deep breath and exhaling it slowly, Kazuo stood up from the bed and walked to the kitchen to prepare his eat his morning meal once more.

'Let's get this grinding started for real.' Kazuo thought as he finished his meal and headed to the training grounds.

Time continued to repeat, the same day over and over.

Day thirteen of the vacation for the tenth time.

Day thirteen of the vacation for the twenty-fifth time.

Day thirteen of the vacation for the sixtieth time...

Death had become a mundane part of Kazuo's life.

When it no longer hurt, when you didn't even notice it and the only change was that you found yourself back in time.

However, that didn't mean that it was easy.

Eating the exact same food one hundred and twelve times in a row.

Practicing the same jutsu over and over but no matter how much he tried, no matter how much he sweated, bled, and cursed, his body remained the same with only a number in a holographic screen going up every once in a while.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Finally, however, it was over.

***

13th day of vacation for the 113th time.

Inside Training Ground One, a young ninja was sitting on the ground, a large toothy grin on his face, his entire body drenched in sweat.

'I fucking did it.' Kazuo thought as he stared at a holographic screen in front of him.

'Every single jutsu that I know is now perfectly mastered besides the enhanced water bullet however from what I've seen the only way to increase that to max mastery is by gaining water elemental chakra affinity training, which doesn't carry over during the time loop for some reason.' Kazuo thought as he stared at the status screen and with a smile on his face, he got up from the ground and for the first time in 113 days, he was finally leaving this damned training ground.

Once outside, Kazuo decided that there was no better way to end this last day of his vacation than to go for a hearty meal at Yakiniku Q.

Without making any hand signs at all, and with no smoke appearing, Kazuo vanished from his spot as he moved at tremendous speeds using the body flicker jutsu.

'I've mastered the jutsu however I still can only use it in short bursts to locations that are within my sight, my visual prowess simply isn't good enough to allow me to use it how Shisui managed to, at that point I wouldn't consider his jutsu even the Body flicker anymore.' Kazuo thought to himself as he arrived in front of the Yakiniku Q restaurant.

Heading inside, the waitress greeted him with a smile, by now every worker in the restaurant knew the boy who came back every day to eat at the restaurant.

That wasn't the only reason that they knew who Kazuo was, however.

Two weeks had passed and Kazuo's accomplishments on the battlefield had spread to every corner of the village.

The handsome young ninja defeated an entire army of enemy shinobi using only his mind and a handful of explosion tags.

And that was one of the less farfetched stories being said around the village.

There were some that told about how Kazuo had faced the Raikage one one-on-one and managed to get a draw whilst cursing the Raikage's mother at the same time.

Just thinking about the crazy stories that were swirling around about him made Kazuo smile.

'Good, the more extreme the stories get, the more famous I'll become though the downside is that my bounty will likely get higher and soon enough enemies will start targeting me when im on the battlefield. I also can't use the fact that im a child to trick them into letting their guard down anymore.' Kazuo thought before releasing a shallow sigh.

Sitting down on a corner of the restaurant, Kazuo awaited his order.

At that moment, however, Kazuo heard a loud voice arguing with someone.

Lifting his head, Kazuo saw someone he hadn't been expecting.

'Team 7 huh...' Kazuo thought as he gazed at what could be called one of if not the most legendary team to have ever existed coming close to even the Team Seven of the future.

'Besides Rin, each of these guys becomes a legend in their own right. Minato the fourth Hokage, Kakashi the sixth Hokage, and of course Obito, a man who becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.' Kazuo thought before a large smile appeared on his face.

'You shouldn't have forgotten about me right Minato senpai?' Kazuo thought, his lips curling upward.
