148. A trap for a trap

After the fact Tomoka had to admit to herself that mayhaps she was a bit of an ass. After all, she did know that Inari’s father figure got done in by Gatoh.

‘Say Kurama, am I a bad person?’ Hearing Tomoka asking such a question made Kurama do a double take.

[Are you seriously asking me that?]

‘Yes?’

[That is also the answer to your question. You are as a matter of fact a horrible person by human standard. At least to anyone you don’t feel like dealing with].

“It’s simple really. I know for a fact you are fiercely loyal to Zabuza and as such you only seek what is best for him. My deal is simple. I know why Zabuza left Kiri and I am willing to help.” Tomoka gave Haku a smile that sent chills down his spine.
