76. A bit late

A while later Tomoka had finished reading the scroll. The other two forbidden jutsus were nothing to write home about. One was an extreme version of the akimichi’s body expansion jutsu. The thing is that it would drain the user’s caloric reserves so fast that they would die for sure after use. The other downside being that even if they survived the person would become permanently disfigured. The only advantage of the jutsu is the stupid amount of strength and regeneration the jutsu provided while active. Or at least that is what was stated in the scroll.   

The other jutsu was to put it simply, a kamikaze jutsu. When the jutsu is activated all of the ninja’s chakra and lifeforce would be concentrated in their heart and then explode. To tell the truth, out of the five jutsus this one was the most useless of all. 

‘Well, with this done, let's go and check how it is going over there’ Tomoka smiled as she began moving towards Mizuki and Naruto’s position. When she got there the good part was just starting. Tomoka got there just in time to see Iruka blocking Mizuki’s attack with his body.  

‘I still don’t understand what he is thinking. If he had time to use his body as a shield why the fuck didn’t he use a kunai to block the attack or just move Naruto out of the way?’

[Now that you mention it, it doesn’t make sense does it]

With a sigh Tomoka decided to simply ignore it and just continue watching. Like in canon Naruto used the shadow clone jutsu to attack Mizuki. Unlike canon however, he used the taijutsu Tomoka taught him. This led to Mizuki being beaten black and blue even faster than before. 

‘I can’t believe that guy is somehow a chunin. He got wrecked by a kid that isn’t even a genin’ 

[Well, from what I understand genin consists of teams, and these teams are also the ones to present the exam right? He probably got the promotion through his team’s effort] 

‘Yeah, that makes sense’ Tomoka could believe as much. There was another option too. Mizuki got promoted during the war for whatever reason. It wasn’t important either way so Tomoka didn’t pay it much attention. Having finished spectating Tomoka decided to leave. Nothing to see here and she wanted to rest since tomorrow she had plans with Nozomi and Hinata. 

The next day Tomoka woke up refreshed and ready to go. Walking to The Uchiha compound first she found Nozomi standing at the gate. Due to the massacre four years ago both Nozomi and Sasuke became the only people to live within the compound. 

Nozomi got assigned a new house since it wasn’t in use. This new house was larger and better kept. For this reason Nozomi got a lot more work to do if she wanted to keep it that way. Of course caretakers were assigned to her and Sasuke but the girl had grown used to doing things herself.   

“Sorry, did I make you wait for a long time?” Tomoka jogged the bit of distance left while asking.

“Not really, I overslept so I was actually worried I would be late. I have been here for like a minute or two” Nozomi gave Tomoka a reassuring smile.

“I see, well, no time to lose. If we don’t hurry Hinata will get angry… again” Like that the two sped off towards the Hyuga compound. A moment later the two saw a frowning Hinata at the gate.

“You are late” She had been waiting for a whole fifteen minutes not to mention that she had also been late but not as much as the other two.

““Sorry”” The two said in unison.

“I can’t believe the tw-” Before Hinata could start ranting again Nozomi pushed Tomoka causing her to fall forwards. Of course Tomoka could have dodge the push or resist being pushed but there was a reason why she didn’t.

As she fell forwards she hugged Hinata causing the latter to shut up. This was a strategy Nozomi had come up with. No matter how angry Hinata got, a hug from Tomoka would make her forget her anger.   

A moment later Nozomi couldn't resist her jealousy anymore and hugged the other two. It was unfair that only Hinata got a hug so she would insert herself into it if necessary. This had become a rather common occurrence for the three in the past four years.
