46. To murder or not

‘Kurama, tell me again why I shouldn’t kill the old man’ 

[Why are you asking me? Have you forgotten that the only humans I like are you and Nozomi… maybe the Hyuga girl too. As for the Hokage, he can go die in a ditch for all I care]

‘You aren’t helping mister fox’ 

Currently Tomoka was listening to the endless droning of Hiruzen Sarutobi. Today marks her first day in what Tomoka calls the true ninja academy. Because of this, she and all other ninja aspirants had to attend this little speech by the Hokage. A speech that had gone for over half an hour by now.   

‘I swear to whatever god is out there that if I hear anything more about the “will of fire” I will fucking murder the bitch’

[Why don’t just ignore it. I mean you could just come in hear and chat with me, or we could play a game or something]

‘Kurama, you saint of a fox, you are a genius!’

Like that Tomoka spent the next half hour playing games with Kurama inside her mindscape. Though it soon devolved into an angry Kurama chasing a cackling Tomoka since she had cheated in every game they played. It’s her mindscape, in there she is a god. 

“Well this old man has spoken for long enough. With this I announce the start of this school year”

And finally the ever so lengthy speech about the will of fire and what not is finished. As if a fire had been lit on everyone’s ass they vacated the premise going to their respective classrooms.  

“I thought he would never finish” A drained Nozomi said while walking next to Tomoka. 

“I think I fell asleep a few times” That one came from Naruto who was currently walking backwards with his hands on the back of his head. 

“I t-think I did too” turning to see little Hinata one would be able to notice the tinge of pink on her cheeks. 

While chatting and trying to properly wake up after the sleep inducing speech the group reached their classroom. Class 1-A also known as the class of prodigies. From Kakashi Minato Namikaze to Itachi Uchiha. All of Konoha’s geniuses and elites have belonged to this classroom. 

Entering the classroom the first thing Tomoka noticed was a kid with black eyes and hair looking out the window with a bored expression. Sasuke Uchiha, despite the masacre not taking place yet, the guy already had his mysterious aura that drove girls crazy for him. 

Other faces she recognised were also already inside the classroom. Like Ino and Sakura who were currently fighting for Sasuke’s attention. Another pair of recognisable faces were those of Choji and Shikamaru. Though the latters face couldn’t be seen as he is currently sleeping. Last but note least, Tomoka found the mutt and the mutt, or kiba and akamaru looking defiantly at everyone in the classroom. 

Looking around Tomoka found the legendary protagonist seat empty so she decided to sit elsewhere. After all, she needed to find somewhere she and all her friends could sit next to each other. 

After finding a good place and sending Naruto to sit with Sasuke for the laughs. She wondered if the two would end up kissing by mistake like in the anime. Tomoka couldn’t help but giggle. Not soon after she saw the blond kid preparing a prank for their new teacher. It was the typical dusty eraser on top of the door. 

“Naruto, what the fuck do you think you are doing” In an instant Tomoka apeared next to Naruto without making a sound. Her expression, one of disappointment while looking at the confused blond kid. In the past she had taught Naruto a few pranks and even praised him when they succeeded. The blond kid didn’t understand why he was being told off now. 

“I thought you were better than that. Now let me show you how to make a proper prank” As those words left Tomoka’s lips her grin became deranged and maniacal. A grin that would put the cheshire cat’s grin to shame.

Ten minutes later everyone sat at their respective desks with sweat pouring down their backs. Even Naruto, the one who wanted to prank their teacher, felt pity for whoever they would be.    

Another minute passed and their teacher opened the other, catching the dusty eraser with ease. That’s when all hell broke loose. In an instant the eraser exploded into a cloud of itch powder coating the poor teacher from head to toe. 

“First phase complete” A whisper could be heard from within the classroom loud and clear. 

“Second phase started” Once again the voice resounded and the machinations of a mischievous girl were put in motion once again. 

From small boxes all around the classroom a foul smelling liquid was shot in the direction of the teacher who was now on guard. With ease of movement he dodged each and every single shot of liquid until no more came. However, he did not notice that all shots landed in the same spot creating a puddle of said viscous liquid. 

As the teacher took a careful step forwards he slipped on the now slippery floor as a wire finished the job by tripping him backwards into the pool of foul smelling liquid. 

“Second phase complete” This time the voice held moquery and glee in its tone as it spoke.

“Third phase starts” With those words the fate of the teacher was sealed. A deluge of feathers fell from a compartment in the roof of the room. 

“Pftt, HAAHHAHA!” Not being able to contain her laughter anymore Tomoka burst out laughing as she saw the now chicken teacher standing in the middle of the classroom smelling like he went dumpster diving. A moment later the teacher left the room after giving Tomoka the stink eye. 

‘That is what you get for being a traitor Mizuki-sensei’
