173. Aproaching conflict

Once bijuu and girl were back things became simple. Shukaku got to talk with Gaara as they shared their distaste for the latter's father. It actually didn’t take too long for them to get to an amicable state after they aired their grievances against one another.

“Well, with that out of the way now. How about we make a deal.” Tomoka’s grin alongside the way she rubbed her hands together made her look like the sketchiest con-woman ever. Though that didn’t last long as the girl got smacked twice on the back of the head by her lovers.

““Don’t say it while looking like that!”” Both girls said at the same time. It had become a common occurrence for them to do this.

“Fine. Anyway, I am serious about the deal. Want to hear about it?” Shukaku and Gaara looked towards each other before giving their answer.

“Might as well.” Said the sand tanuki while Gaara just gave a small nod.

“So it goes like this. Akatsuki is a group that...” After explaining what the group is and wanted, Tomoka continued with her offer.

The following day as the trio prepared to leave something unexpected happened. As they waited for the summoned spider to smuggle them out Tomoka snapped her head in the direction of Konoha.

“Tomoka?” Nozomi was the first to notice. As she looked into Tomoka’s eyes she could see a sort of eerie calmness that felt utterly unnatural.

“What happened?” Noticing Tomoka’s behavior Hinata became curious and worried.

“They done goofed. They shouldn’t have done that.” Tomoka’s expression was one of calmness like no other. It made the girl’s worry.

“Who?” Hinata had a bad feeling about this.

“The Hyuga clan.” Was all Tomoka said before they disappeared in a cloud of smoke as they were reverse summoned into Konoha.
