61. Negotiations


    <span style="font-weight:400">Tomoka had continued fighting off the iing root members through the usage of her insane speed and chakra reserves alongside the many insidious traps she had prepared. Some ninja’s had been reduced to chemically burned corpses after being trapped in clouds of corrosive chemicals infused with genjutsu.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Tomoka had already taken the lives of ten Ninja’s by the time her clones informed her of the approach of a dangerous target. Looking towards the coordinates she had been given she saw Itachi Uchiha looking from afar. The bright blood red eyes peering back at her shone with murderous intent.


    <span style="font-weight:400">In a moment she felt her chakra shake as one of her phantom minds jolted her out of Itachi’s genjutsu. Tomoka couldn’t help but smile as n P-1 was a sess.


    <span style="font-weight:400">~shback no jutsu~


    <span style="font-weight:400">‘I need to find a way to counter Itachi’s genjutsu. Afterall, fighting while concentrating on not making eye contact is a pain’


    <span style="font-weight:400">[I could always shake your chakra to break it] Kurama didn’t see much problem with that


    <span style="font-weight:400">‘The thing is Kurama, Itachi has a mangekyou sharingan. He could also put you under one just like Obito did back then’


    <span style="font-weight:400">[How about your clones then, they could do it]


    <span style="font-weight:400">‘Yes, but that would mean I would need to keep a clone with me at all times and protect it from being destroyed’ Tomoka passed back and forth while she thought of a solution.


    <span style="font-weight:400">[Well, it’s a shame you can’t make them in here otherwise that would fix the problem]


    <span style="font-weight:400">At thatment it was like a light bulb lit up in ontop of Tomoka’s head. She had a conjecture she wanted to test instantly. Waving hand signs she quickly made a phantom clone and ordered it to possess her. This was a skill she discovered her phantoms had.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Since the phantoms are made out of mostly pure Yin chakra they could enter someone else and possess them. Of course this had many restrictions. The stronger the target the harder it was to possess and the less time they could be possessed for. The chakra in their bodys acts as a natural barrier blocking the phantoms and making things difficult.


    <span style="font-weight:400">However, what if a phantom tried to possess Tomoka? Since their chakra was one and the same there would be no rejection. Like that, Tomoka ordered the new phantom to possess her. As it did she felt a new mind within her mindscape. The weird thing was that it was still her mind, rather an emotionless copy of it. With this she could now think of two different things at the same time.


    <span style="font-weight:400">~shback end~


    <span style="font-weight:400">n P-1 or phantom possession had been a sess as one of her phantoms managed to jolt her and the other phantoms out of the genjutsu. After all, there was a limit to how many minds Itachi could put under his genjutsu in a single second.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Without losing any more time Tomoka concentrated on stealing as much chakra from Itachi as she could while ordering her many hidden clones to do the same. She would now employ n C-1 to try and buy time.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Itachi Uchiha, the girl living under this roof, is under my protection. Leave or I will be forced to use underhanded methods to secure her safety.” Tomoka began sweating a little as she saw Itachi ready forbat.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Before Tomoka could say anything else Itachi had sent over twenty shuriken and kunai at her in extremelyplex angles thanks to his technique. Concentrating, Tomoka took out a pair of Kunai and began deflecting the lethal ones while the non-lethal ones stuck to her arms and legs.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Fine! If you continue I won’t have any qualms about murdering Sasuke as revenge” As she shouted that Itachi’s tanto stopped a few centimeres away from her neck. His emotionless expression had changed into a frown.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Without moving Tomoka began talking once again. “I know you made a deal with that bastard Danzo. You would kill your n’s men and take all the me in exchange for your brother’s safety. I don’t give a rat’s ass about that. The girl living here is what matters to me and I propose a simr deal to you. Leave and I won’t do anything to Sasuke”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Why should I not kill you then. If you die you won’t be able to kill him” Itachi was tempted to do so. However, even if the possibility was low. He wouldn’t put his brother in harm''s way.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Yes you could kill me but then the little gift I left with him would kill him” Tomoka wasn’t bluffing. She had left a bomb in Sasuke’s room with a phantom. As soon as she gave the order, all the phantom had to do was push the button then boom.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Fine, but I am not responsible for what the others might do” With that Itachi left as his body dposed into a murder of crows.
