Obtio and Kazuo kept looking around as they tried to find any signs of the shinobi however they couldn't discern where the invisible enemy was at all.

'If I wanted to win this myself then I would simply memorize his attack pattern as he attacked me, even if I did die then I could simply repeat it and then preemptively counterattack when he thinks that I don't know where he is.' Kazuo thought as his eyes swerved left and right.

Finally, merely a moment later, Kazuo saw Obito swing his kunai and blood drip from it.

He had hit the enemy.

'Did he?' Kazuo thought as he turned to look at him, and surely enough Obito's eyes had turned blood red with two black tomoe swirling around a black pupil.

'So this is the start of your meteoric rise in power Obito.' Kazuo thought as he saw the kid clutching the kunai tightly whilst the enemy dropped onto the floor.

Kazuo didn't hesitate, immediately he appeared next to Obito and launched two kunai, one piercing the enemy's heart whilst the other pierced his brain.

Obtio turned to look at him.

"In a battlefield, you have to always make sure that the enemy is truly dead, you never know when you might get attacked in the back by a shinobi that you thought was already dead," Kazuo said before turning around to face Kakashi.

"Obito, your eyes..." Kakashi thought as he straightened himself, still holding his bleeding eye socket with one hand.

"My eyes?" Obtio asked confused before Kazuo pressed two fingers against his wrist guards and summoned a mirror and showed it to Obito.

"I unlocked my sharingan!" Obtio said, his voice both sounding excited and showing his disbelief.

Merely a second later, however, the excited expression disappeared from Obito's face.

"We have to go and save Rin as quickly as possible!" Obtio practically screamed as he looked at Kakashi.

"We can't Obito, we must complete the mission," Kakashi said as his eyes furrowed.

To Kazuo, it was clear as day that Kakashi himself felt unsure about his decision.

"What do you mean we have to do the mission, Rin takes priority over something like that!" Obito said as fury took over his expression.

Stolen from its original source, this story is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"No it does not Obito, Shinobi who abandon their mission are scum, we can not abandon our mission," Kakashi said, his tone growing graver as he ordered Obtio to abandon Rin and continue the mission.

Kazuo remained silent before a thought passed through his head.

'Isn't this the perfect moment?' Kazuo thought before turning toward Kakashi.

"How about this Kakashi, I'll complete the mission on my own whilst you two head off and save Rin before joining me. Just make sure the be quick with it." Kazuo's words made Obtio and Kakashi turn their attention toward him.

"After all..." Kazuo said as his lips curled upwards, his facial muscles contorting to show a sorrowful expression.

"Those who abandon the mission are scum but those who abandon their teammates are even worse than scum," Kazuo said, his words resonating in both Kakashi's and Obito's ears.

"This..." Obtio felt almost on the verge of tears from relief as he looked at Kazuo who was supporting him.

"We don't have time Kakashi, give me the mission scroll and go," Kazuo said as he extended his hand toward the white-haired kid.

After a moment where Kakashi looked to be deliberating something, he finally gave up and took a scroll out of his ninja bag and handed it to Kazuo.

"Go, I'll meet you guys and Rin later, don't be late," Kazuo said before using the bodyflicker jutsu and disappearing.

His speed far surpasses what he had shown during the run with Team Seven.

Looking at him disappear almost instantly, Obito felt his eyes widen.

"It seems like he was holding back quite a lot, that's a relief. Let's go now Obito." Kakashi said as his eyes sharpened.

Merely a moment later, the two started hopping from tree to tree as they followed the kidnapper's tracks.

One used his Sharingan to see any changes in the environment whilst the other summoned a dog and used both his and the summoning's sense of smell to track the target.

Hundreds of meters away from the two, Kazuo continued to use to bodyflicker as he flashed through the forest at immense speeds.

He had conserved his chakra until now when he decided to use his full reserves to arrive at the mission location as quickly as possible.

'Perfect time to both further ingrain me in Obito's and Kakashi's memory as well as to hog all of the mission rewards myself.' Kazuo thought as he imagined his name spreading even further in the ninja world.

Body Flicker after body flicker, Kazuo felt his chakra slowly but surely draining before it reached a point where he had to take out one of his soldier pills.

'I only have one more after this, I'll have to conserve my chakra from now, the mission location isn't that far either way.' Kazuo thought as he opened the map.

'I should be able to arrive in less than twenty minutes at the pace that im going at. After that, I'll have to unseal all of the explosion tags inside the mission scroll and place them in strategic spots before blowing the entire bridge up.' Kazuo thought as he put the map inside of his wrist guards and continued.

Nineteen minutes later, Kazuo finally arrived at his destination.

Further ahead he could see the large bridge that would be able to hold tons of supplies for Iwagakure.

'Time to get to work.' Kazuo thought as he quickly made a hand seal and burrowed himself underground before starting to head in the bridge's direction.

Arriving at the first leg of the bridge, Kazuo appeared above ground and finally unlocked the explosion tags.

Immediately a large amount of tags appeared before him which he quickly sealed back into his wrist guards before taking out only one hundred and getting to work.

'Why does it feel that since I've come to this world, I've become someone Deidara would be proud of?'
