Other world chimera [Naruto fanfic]

176. A rock and a hard place.

It didn’t take long for the Konoha police to appear. Now that the Uchiha had been killed off, the Konoha police consisted mostly of reserve genins and some chunins. These low ranked ninjas mostly dealt with civilians. Unfortunately for them Tomoka wasn’t any random civilian. Fortunately, she had calmed down after the beating she delivered. 

“What happened here?” Asked one of the two shinobi that had appeared. The second one was currently gathering the testimonies of the bystanders. The third one was busy checking the Hyuga’s injuries and calling for a medic. 

“They wanted to kidnap my friend. After we refused to give her to them they became violent and attacked me. I just defended myself.” Tomoka said with a shameless smile pasted on her face. 

“This wasn’t self defense! These two are crippled!” Shouted the shinobi applying first aid to said cripples. 

“Mind explaining that?” Said the first one with an unamused expression. 

“Self defense.” Was all Tomoka said while shrugging the smile never leaving her face. 

“Fine then you three will need to follow me to the police department, do not resist.” Tomoka just looked towards the other two girls and shrugged. Said girls could do nothing more than sigh and follow along. 

Meanwhile, one of Tomoka’s phantoms knocked on the Hokage’s windows. a moment later Hiruzen looked at the window. Seeing the girl currently waving at him Hiruzen couldn’t help but wonder what kind of mess she had made now. A nod from the kage later and the phantom entered the office through the now opened window. 

“Sometimes I wonder why everyone comes through the window instead of the door.” Hiruzen whispered to himself while shaking his head. 

“It is convenient not gonna lie.” Hearing Tomoka’s explanation made a small chuckle escape the old man. 

“So, why are you here?” Though he appreciated the break from his damned paperwork Hiruzen knew that it would only pile up if he wasted too much time. 

“Well, I might or might have not crippled a few Hyuga members after they tried something stupid… and I might or might not be currently in the police department while an investigation is going on.” Hearing Tomoka made Hiruzen sigh while massaging his temples. 

“What happened? I want all the details.” Hiruzen became serious since this could become a political nightmare if handled poorly. 

“So it went like this…” A while later Tomoka finished her explanation and waited for Hiruzen. The old man for his part felt a few years older. Had the victims been all branch members then he could easily solve the problem. However, the fact that the one from the main branch is the most injured makes everything far more complicated. 

“What were you thinking Tomoka?” Hearing Hiruzen's exasperated tone made a bit of Tomoka’s anger come back.  

“Don’t give me that old man! Those fuckers wanted to make my Hinata into one of their shity slaves! I won’t allow anyone to do that to my girls, ever. Not to mention that by law as a genin Hinata is an adult and as such she can make any decision she wishes within the law. What they tried is nothing less than a kidnap attempt!” Tomoka’s anger was so palpable by then that Hiruzen’s personal ANBU guard became ready to take action. 

Hiruzen for his part could do nothing but sigh. He found himself between a rock and a hard place. If he pleased Tomoka then he would displease a whole clan, not only that but the most powerful clan currently in Konoha. On the other hand, Tomoka is one of the jinchurikis of the nine tails. Displeasing her is the equivalent of displeasing a tactical weapon. 

“Tomoka, you need to understand that I don’t have many options right now.” Taking a deep breath Tomoka calmed down before answering. 

“I know, though I don’t care. I am willing to do community service or whatever but I will NOT let them put that shity seal on her.” Hiruzen could see how serious she was about that. He could see the promise of pain in her eyes should they try. Even worse, he could see the promise of death should they succeed. 

“I’ll see what I can do.”
