151. Rumination

As soon as the blood entered Tomoka’s stomach she could feel her body reacting. Shrugging she downed the rest of it. The next moment Tomoka began feeling chills all over her body. To say it was uncomfortable would be an understatement. It was like having liquid nitrogen injected into her veins.

Time seemed to freeze as Tomoka shivered uncontrollably as her body integrated the new kekkei genkai into her genetic code. New tenketsu points began popping up all over her body while her meridians rearranged themselves to fit the new connections in the most optimal way possible.

It took hours for Tomoka to stop shivering from the cold she could feel running through her body. It took her only a moment to figure out why she felt that extreme cold. It would seem that her new tenketsu like any other produced chakra that couldn’t go anywhere until her meridians finished arranging themselves. This chakra held the key to ice release and so the concentration made her feel cold.

Thankfully, once her meridians had finished rearranging themselves the flow of chakra through her body made her resistant to the cold. In other words, from now on Tomoka is immune to extremely low temperatures. With this she could guess that each new kekkei genkai would be as if not more uncomfortable to get.

‘Well, that went better than expected. Next I should try and get my hands on Kimimaro’s kekkei genkai.’

Now that she thought about it, most of the problems of the ninja world spawn from Konoha. Obito? Konoha. Orochimaru? Konoha. Nagato? Taught by a Konoha nin. Itachi? you guessed it, Konoha. Lets not forget about Danzo either. Of course Tomoka knew that all fault couldn’t be pinned on Konoha. However, a lot could be pinned to the village hidden in the leaves.

In the end Tomoka would fix everything wrong with this world using plausible methods. Nothing as dumb as the power of friendship or as even dumber as shared pain. No, the root of the problem is and has always been human nature. As much as humans have the capability for greatness they have the drive for destruction. She would simply create a method to restrict and guide human destructive tendencies towards constructive ones.

All of that is for the future though. Right now she has a pair of girls to pamper, chat and play with. In a good mood Tomoka came to Tazuna’s house. She was supposed to be keeping watch as of now and she was. Many of her phantoms were currently helping the old man build his bridge. Better yet, since no one could tell which is the original without destroying her phantom’s body, no one could say she wasn’t doing her job.

“Hinata, Nozomi, I’m back!”
