169. Infiltration

169. Infiltration

By the time the trio reached Suna the sun had set. It had been too easy considering Suna is one of the five great shinobi villages. Then again, only a madman would send their shinobi patrolling in this desert. That and the fact said desert works perfectly as a deterrent.

“So, we have two infiltration options, the easy way, and the fun way.” While traveling Tomoka had taken her time to think about their infiltration into the village. Many ideas had come and gone and she had settled on two.

“Let me guess, the fun way involves knocking on their front door and making a mess of things.” Hinata wasn’t amused by Tomoka’s innocent shrug.

“Let's hear the easy way before we make a decision.” Nozomi for her part felt amused. She couldn’t help but love Hinata’s expressiveness when it came to Tomoka’s antics. She found the girl’s exasperated expression adorable.

“Well, I could just summon one of my spiders and have it reverse summon us inside.” Hearing Tomoka’s words the two looked towards each other then towards Tomoka repeatedly.

“You can do that? Summons and do that?” They hadn’t thought about it but it made sense.

“Yeah, I do wonder why no one else does it? It's a perfect infiltration method.” And wasn’t that the truth. Tomoka couldn’t fathom how people hadn’t figured that one out.

“Wait, then couldn’t you have just sent your summon instead of having us travel the whole way?” Hinata’s question made a lot of sense.

“I hu, forgot?” In reality Tomoka had just thought about this method a few hours ago so there was no way she would have been able to do that.

“Well once she...” Like that the group spent their time chatting while waiting for the energetic spooder. Half an hour later Tomoka felt a sort of tugging that informed her she was being reverse-summoned.

“Looks like our ride is here. Hold tight.” saying that Tomoka held her girls’ hands and let herself be summoned.

With a poof of some the girls disappeared from their original position only to reappear with a similar poof of smoke elsewhere. Instead of sand, sand and more sand around them, there were buildings made of sand... stone.

“Infiltration success, thanks Kumimaro, I am guessing you want the usual.” Tomoka said while pulling a slip of paper from her kunai pouch.

“Sure do!” Said the spider before snatching the paper, a moment later she disappeared in a poof of smoke.

“Uh, what’s the usual?” Nozomi couldn’t help but ask.

“Sweets, more specifically caramel covered donuts with chocolate filling.” Tomoka responded feeling a chill crawling up her back. She knew that chill very well by now.

“To~mo~ka, when were you planning on giving us some?” Yeah, she should have seen this one coming from a mile away. Hinata has a sweet tooth to defeat all sweet tooths.

“Hehe, I’m in danger”
