84. Messing with an old man

“Next is group five. Tomoka Fushi, Nozomi Uchiha, Hinata Hyuga” As Iruka called the names of her girlfriends Hinata felt her heart thump loudly. Once her name was called she almost jumped out of her chair in celebration.  

Tomoka for her part smiled mischievously. The previous day she had sent one of her phantoms to talk with Hiruzen. Tomoka wanted to be in the same team as her girlfriends. Revealing some information to attain that was a sacrifice she was willing to make.  

~Flash back no jutsu~

Tomoka walked to an empty alley and waited for a few seconds. 

“Yo! mister ANBU I know you are there… or is it two of you? No matter, I want to talk for a moment” No answer, Tomoka knew there had to be ANBU following her. After all, Hiruzen would be an idiot living without anyone watching her since she is a jinchuuriki and all that.  

“Fine then if you won’t appear I will let foxy out” Saying that Tomoka began to be covered by a red chakra cloak. 

“Wait! Don’t!” Instantly two masked men appeared in front of her. One had a dog ceramic mask on and the other had a cat ceramic mask. 

“Yeah, don’t worry, just wanted to talk” Like that Tomoka’s chakra cloak disappeared. 

The masked men looked towards each other for a moment. This situation had thrown them for a loop, not to mention the scare. As ANBU they knew what the kyubi could do that’s why they were assigned to watch over her. 

“I just want to talk with Hokage-sama about a few things, could one of you deliver the message? Also, tell him I know about the kyubi, I know I am jinchuuriki and I know Naruto is too. That should convince him to hear me out” 

Once again the two ANBU looked towards each other before nodding. A moment later the dog masked one left. Seeing as her plan was going well Tomoka decided to simply wait instead of messing around. A while later the dog masked ANBU returned and so the three of them left for the Hokage’s office. 

“Tomoka Fushi, first I would like to ask how you know about the information you told Inu here” Hiruzen’s face was one of seriousness. If the information had been leaked he needed to find the leak and fast.   

“No need to worry so much Hokage-sama, there was no leak. I know because I have perfect memory. I remember everything from the very moment I was born until now.” This wasn’t exactly a lie but it wasn’t the truth either. 

“That could explain how you know about the kyubi but not how you know about jinchurikis”  Sarutobi wasn’t convinced just yet.

“Well, you can learn a lot in Konoha’s library, especially in places I am not allowed to be” Tomoka gave the old man a cheeky grin. 

“I see” Sarutobi sighed with relief. It was true that the information about jinchurikis was stored in the library in a restricted area. He didn’t pay much attention to the fact that Tomoka somehow managed to get past the rather lax security there. Though he would still give the order to reinforce security later. 

“With that out of the way, I must ask you to keep this information a secret” Even though Hiruzen had relaxed a bit he still needed to keep an eye on things to keep order. 

“Don’t worry, I haven’t told anyone yet not like I have a reason to do so. Anyway, I don’t care about being a jinchuuriki. The reason I wanted to talk with you, Hokague-sama, is that I want Hinata Hyuga and Nozomi Uchiha to be assigned to my team.” 

That had sent everyone in the room for a loop. Hiruzen was sure that the girl would blame him, the fourth or Konoha for being stuck with a monster inside of her and yet here she was asking for something inconsequential. 

“I don’t understand. You don’t care that there is a monster sealed inside of you?” Hiruzen had to ask. The situation was too extraordinary for him. 

“Monster? You do know that the kyubi is a thinking being right? I actually had a chat with him and now we are best pals! He even lets me borrow his chakra” That was the straw that broke the camel's back as the three adult men in the room felt their common sense die.
