Other world chimera [Naruto fanfic]

184. Leader Nozomi



“Pfft.” Hinata couldn’t hold it anymore and ended up laughing. The sudden tension was cut as the other two joined her. 

 

“Though I am serious, I don’t feel like being team leader this time around.” A while later once the trio’s laughter died down Tomoka talked once again. 

 

“Sure, no problem. Do you want to be team leader Hinata?” This isn’t the first time Tomoka shoves the team leader position to them so Nozomi didn’t really mind. 

 

“Nah, I was team leader last time.” Shrugging after hearing Hinata’s answer, Nozomi accepted her position as team leader. 

 

“Anything specific we should do or watch out for Tomoka?” After all, the girl always had plans within plans and Nozomi didn’t want to mess them up somehow. 

 

“Not really, no, though I would like to avoid the pedo-snake if possible. I don’t want you getting his love bite.” That made Nozomi shudder. She is a hundred percent sure Tomoka wouldn’t let that happen and even if it did she would get rid of it. That didn’t mean she would want or like in any way shape or form to have pedomaru biting her. 

 

“That was already part of the plan anyway, no way I am getting near him.” With that said and done the girls began moving through the forest. 

 

“Actually, Tomoka, could you have a phantom or summon find and follow team Kagami? That way we can be as fair away from them once pedomaru appears.” With a nod Tomoka decided to use both. A moment later hundreds of thumb sized spiders disappeared into the foliage looking for their target. Some of those spiders were Tomoka’s phantoms as well. 

 

“So what’s the plan, oh great leader.” This is a common occurrence where the girls would tease the current team leader.

 

“We have the earth scroll, considering our combat capabilities we could just look for people and beat them up…” Both Hinata and Nozomi could hear the paus in Nozomi’s sentence.

 

“But…” Seeing as Nozomi wouldn’t continue unless one of them said it as well as knowing that Tomoka wouldn’t be the one she decided to play along. 

 

“But, that is too much wasted effort. Instead, I suggest we hunt a few. Take their scrolls and look for people to exchange with.” Tomoka could see the logic behind Nozomi’s plan. If they find the scroll they need in their initial hunt then great. If not they could look for people with extra scrolls and trade. 

 

“Sounds good.” 

 

“So I guess I am in charge of finding others.” Hinata just said for the sake of the conversation. She already had her byakugan active from a while back. She has also found a few teams already. 

 

“Yeah, Also, is there any way for you to look for their scroll and see which one they have?” Nozomi just thought of the possibility.

 

“Sure… Huh, everyone close by has only earth scrolls.” It didn’t take long for Hinata to look for the scrolls. Unlike normal Hyuga clansmen she is able to split her concentration into many small strings allowing her to look at many places at the same time. All of this is thanks to Tomoka’s training.      

 

“Makes sense actually. I bet all heaven scrolls entered from the opposite gates to the forest. Like this many useless battles will be fought first ensuring the disqualification of even more than half the participants.” Tomoka decided to provide her opinion of the situation. 

 

“So if we want a heaven scroll we will need to move in a circle to get out of the earth area or just go straight to the center and past it.” Nozomi said thinking out loud. 

 

“We might as well go to the center first. Chances are many teams from both earth and heaven scrolls are getting there anyway. It will save us some time even if it means we will have to engage in combat more.” With a decision made team Yamato began dashin full speed ahead towards the center area.
