96. Speed
<span style="font-weight:400">The next day came quickly and with it the absence of Tomoka from the vige. On her shoulders a ratherrge backpack with mostly foodstuff bobbed up and down as she ran through the forest.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Alright, I think we are far enough, Kurama, do it.” As Tomoka said that a dense, red chakra cloak began flowing around her. On her back three fox tails made of said chakra swished back and forth.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Lets goooo!” The scream of an excited girl resounded through the forest as Tomoka began pumping her chakra into the speed force portal. Soon enough red sparks of electricity began crackling around her. Next she used Kurama’s chakra on an old jutsu of hers.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Lightning style: Lightning Rush.” Instantly blue sparks of electricity joined the red ones as her speed was boosted forward.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Gotta go fast!” Tomoka was having a great time zooming through thend at extreme speeds. At this point she was a little scared to add on the shunshin no jutsu on top. By her calctions she should be at her destination in one to two days using her current speed.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Fuck it! More speed!” Moving her hands just as fast as she was traversing thend she used the shunshin no jutsu using Kurama’s chakra. Instantly there was a sonic boom as she elerated past the sound barrier. That’s when she realized she would need to add another jutsu.
<span style="font-weight:400">“One more!” Once again Tomoka moved her hands, this time she used an old jutsu of hers as well.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Wind style: Low Wind Resistance.” With this Tomoka’s ears had some rest as the deafening sound of the broken sound barrier disappeared. Not only that but the ufortable feeling of the wind against her eyes and face also disappeared.
<span style="font-weight:400">[This is using a lot of chakra.] Kurama for his part was feeling a bit ufortable… and jealous. He also wanted to experience speed.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hah! Not only that but my muscles are strained ass fuck!” It wasn’t a lie. Tomoka’s whole body was feeling the strain of moving and keeping such high speeds. If it wasn’t for her extreme physical training with Lee and Guy she would have dropped with exhaustion already.
<span style="font-weight:400">“By the by, do you think I should open the first gate for more speed?” As she said that, Tomoka''s smile turned into a maniac grin. She hadn’t realized her love for speed until she opened the first gate the first time. It was during one of her practices with Guy and Lee.
<span style="font-weight:400">As she fought with them, then ranps around Konoha, then fought again and did pushups she felt like there was a wall. It felt like this wall was blocking her path towards more physical power. It bothered and so she pushed and pushed until she smashed said wall. In reality the wall was the first gate. Once she opened it she felt a surge of power like no other.
<span style="font-weight:400">[I would say no since that technique is dangerous and all that but… you won’t listen will you?] Kurama sounded a bit tired. He had lived with this crazy woman for twelve years now, he knows what she is like.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Nope” Tomoka said while popping the p. Next she began to feel for the gate. Soon after she found it and with a push and shove she opened it.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Gate of Opening: Open!” Tomoka''s body was flooded with chakra which she redirected to her Speed Force portal. Suddenly her speed increased even more. Not only that but she felt like her wind jutsu had be useless as the speed force took over her defense against the wind.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I! AM! SPEED!” With that shout Tomoka ran at blinding speed as her body heated up from the exertion produced by her physical activity and the opening of the gate. For anyone that had a chance to try and see her all they would see is a blur with blue and red lightning following.
<span style="font-weight:400">An hourter, Tomoka had reached her destination. It was somewhere near thend of waves. A small country to the south of thend of fire. A normal shinobi would have needed a total of three days to reach this ce.
<span style="font-weight:400">As Tomoka stopped and deactivated all the jutsus and speed force she felt like she tried to kiss a train. Her whole body hurt from the exertion but she didn’t care. The rush of moving as fast as a fighter jet was worth it.
<span style="font-weight:400">Right now Tomoka stood next to one of her phantoms that looked towards a seemingly uninteresting part of the jungle. However, as soon as Tomoka’s eyesnded on that same segment of jungle something unexpected happened.
