165. Eye drops


    <span style="font-weight:400">It took a while for Hinata to calm down. Now that she had let go she realized that in the back of her mind she always knew. Out of fear of being truly alone she had clung to her n since she didn’t know about much else. Then again, Tomoka and Nozomi had always been by her side.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Are you feeling better?” Tomoka asked with a bit of worry. She didn’t mind her tear stained shirt in the slightest. The slight difort was a tiny price to pay for her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah, I feel great actually. Like a huge weight just lifted off my shoulders.” She hadn’t realized how much it weighed her mind down. Her constant anxiety and shyness around others had been a by-product of the strain her mind had been under. Now that she let go she felt confident like never before.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“I’m d to hear that. We both know how hard it must have been for you” This time it was Nozomi the one consoling Hinata. The Uchiha girl had somewhat known about Hinata’s state of mind. Unlike Tomoka who was pretty much new to feelings in general Nozomi could tell. However, she didn’t know exactly what was wrong and much less how to help.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“So what is the n?” Not wanting to continue talking about her little breakdown Hinata decided to change the subject back to the original point.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Right, so are youing or…” As Tomoka said she saw the two girls giving her an incredulous look.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Right, dumb question, of course you two areing. That makes things a bit easier actually.” Tomoka felt a bit embarrassed but she hid it well, or at least she thinks she did.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“How so?” Deciding to hold off on teasing Tomoka, Nozomi asked. After all, if their conversation derails again, who knows when they will be finished. Pointing at each girl, Tomoka answered.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Byakugan and sharingan. With Hinata’s byakugan we will be able to find Gaara easily. With the sharingan we will be able to put him and shukaku in a genjutsu avoiding confrontation and the ensued attention it would gather.” Both girls nodded understanding what Tomoka was getting at.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“You still can’t use your kinagan?” Hinata asked since she knew Tomoka’s kinagan gave her a simr ability to the byakugan.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“No, though I am working on it” Once again Tomoka felt a bit embarrassed about it. She had told Hinata and Nozomi about her integrating the byakugan into her eyes and how it went.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“The n sounds good but what about Mangekyou''s downside? You were the one that told me not to use it unless absolutely necessary.” To tell the truth Nozomi didn’t care about having her eyesight worsen a bit. She knew Tomoka would fix it in the future. However she was curious why the girl had changed her mind.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“About that, here” Saying that Tomoka pulled a small container from a scroll.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“And this is?” Nozomi looked at the small bottle and couldn’t help but notice that it looked like eye drops.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Eye drops, especially developed for your usage. Apply five minutes before using the mangekyou and it will prevent permanent damage for around two hours. You will still get blurry vision for around five hours after usage though.” Hearing Tomoka’s exnation Nozomi nodded and pocketed the eye drops. With them she would finally be able to train her mangekyou a bit.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“An Uchiha using eye drops, if I were to tell anyone from the Hyuga n they would die withughter.” Hinata said with a mocking tone and grin on her face. However it didn’t escape Tomoka’s and Nozomi’s notice that she said Hyuga n instead of my n meaning she was already distancing herself from them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Ha ha,ugh all you want, I don’t want to go blind” Nozomi said grumbling while ying along. After the threeughed for a bit Hinata turned to Tomoka and asked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">“So, when are we leaving?”


    <span style="font-weight:400">“Tomorrow morning should be good. I will leave some of my phantoms to take our ce. No one should notice since Yamato gave us a week of rest.” After that the three girls continued talking for a while until each went their separate ways.
