    <span style="font-weight:400">A whileter a different teacher came in to start the ss. Of course all evidence had been thoroughly disposed of by then. However, Tomoka knew well she wouldn’t be getting out of this one. Not only would she need for all of her fellow ssmates to lie wlessly but it was their word against that of a teacher. In the end she had to go to the director’s office at the end of the day.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Tomoka I hope you know why I have called for you today” was the first thing director Taichi said to Tomoka as she entered his office.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Of course I know. You called me here to scold me about my little prank which is dumb.” With that said Tomoka satfortably opposite Taichi.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“And why would that be. From my point of view you have disrespected your teacher” Normally Taichi wouldn’t bother arguing with a kid. However, Tomoka piqued his interest.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“For starters, a teacher meant to teach students about being a ninja that falls for a trap set up by said students is an ipetent teacher.” The battle of wit has started, and Tomoka would do what she could to win.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Perhaps but that doesn’t excuse the fact you have acted against a teacher. After all, in the ninja world there is a chain ofmand that needs to be followed” Taichi''s response annoyed Tomoka to no end. Yes, there is a chain ofmand, however, those at the top got there mostly through merit.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“But we are not in said chain ofmand, are we? I havee here to learn to be a ninja, not to y student and teacher. If my teacher is inadequate I will make their life miserable.”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“And what might I ask defines a good teacher in your eyes Tomoka” Taichi felt annoyed at the girl''s disrespect. However, he decided to continue with the conversation. If she continued like this he would have a good reason to suspend her or even expel her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“One that can teach, of course. I am not dumb Taichi-san, I have looked up each teacher in this facility and studied their previous behavier and teaching by asking other graduates. Misuki is a horrible teacher. His methods are simply inefficient. Not to mention hisck of knowledge or skill in the matter.


    <span style="font-weight:400">One teacher I would consider a good teacher instead is Iruka-sensei. I would like to rmend him for the position as our ssroom’s teacher. That is unless you want a few more human sized smelly chickens in the academy. Oh and don’t even bother trying to expel me or even suspend me, that is unless you want a missive from our dear sandaime” A grin appeared in Tomoka''s face as she saw Taichi’s eye twitching.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I see, in that case you are dismissed” Of course it wouldn’t end just like that. Taichipletely disregarded Tomoka’s threat and decided to suspend her for a week to teach her a lesson. He would be sending her parents a message with his decision.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Tomoka for her part felt happy that her ns were working as intended. She knew full well that Taichi would ignore her warning. She would of course, get scolded by her parents and more likely than not punished but it did not matter. At most she would let her clones handle it.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Her mood took a turn for the worse when she began thinking about more important matters, like the Uchiha massacre. She knew for a fact that it would happen soon after the school year started. Meaning it could be either in a week a month or anywhere in between.


    <span style="font-weight:400">‘Hey Kurama, have you reconsidered my proposal for n E?’


    <span style="font-weight:400">[No, I won’t do it no matter how many times you ask. I won’t be taking a risk like that no matter what, it’s nice in here and I would rather not end up inside a cage again, or worse, impaled into a rock.]


    <span style="font-weight:400">Tomoka couldn’t help but sigh. She had been trying to convince the stubborn fox for the better part ofst year. n E was herst resort and to be fair she is very reluctant to put it in motion too. It consists of a very simple action, letting Kurama take full control and escape her body.


    <span style="font-weight:400">ns A to D were less severe. n A consisted of asking Nozomi toe over for a sleepover and hoping no one woulde for her. Of course this is the best possible oue and the most unlikely one. n Bes into y in case thetter part of n A fails. She would be staying up all night guarding the house and setting traps. She would fight if necessary.


    <span style="font-weight:400">n C is a countermeasure in case the Nozomi rejects the sleepover. Tomoka knows full well how much of a brocon Itachi is and so she would find and threaten Itachi with Sasuke’s safety. n D is a contingency for n C. In case Itachi ignores Tomoka’s threat she would implement simr actions to n B instead in Nozomi’s residence after infiltrating the Uchihapound.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Finally, n E is thest resort. In n E, Tomoka would have Kurama release and attack whoever is endangering Nozomi’s life. Why she was willing to do something like cing her own life in the line for Nozomi, Tomoka couldn’t tell. It wasn’t strictly logical, what good would it be if Nozomi survived but she didn’t? Tomoka felt conflicted and yet she felt this was necessary.
