Other world chimera [Naruto fanfic] - 73. Luck or fate

The day for the final exam came and all students were excited except for two. Tomoka didn’t feel much excitement since she would pass for sure. Sasuke also didn’t feel much excitement as he, just like Tomoka, was sure he would pass.

“Alright everyone, I will be calling your names. When I do, please enter the examination room” Iruka said with a calm smile on his face. To tell the truth he felt happy seeing his students close to graduating.

Name after name was called until it was Naruto’s turn. As expected, he exited the room with a dejected expression, no surprise there. Following him were the others as each left with a Konoha head protector.

“Poor Naruto, he was really excited for today” Hinata, bless her gentle soul, couldn’t help but pity the blond boy. Even though she found him slightly annoying at times she couldn’t deny the charm his pure smile had.

“Don’t worry much about it, he will become a ninja by the end of today anyway” Tomoka said off-handedly while waving her hand. Having said that, both Nozomi and Hinata glanced at her with uncertainty but decided against prying.

While they were chatting their names were called and to no one’s surprise they passed easily. Tomoka even went a step further and showed off a bit by making five clones in one go. However, out of the three judges only one was impressed.

Iruka had to deal with her for a total of four years so he was used to her shenanigans. Mizuki still resented her for the prank, talk about being petty. As for the last guy he hid his surprise after a second. After all, five clones wasn’t all that amazing.

Having finished her exam, the first thing Tomoka did was tie her head protector around her neck just like Hinata. Nozomi for her part tied it around her hair like Sakura. Seeing this Tomoka glanced around the other girls from her class. Not even a single one of them had their forehead protectors on their forehead.

‘So much for being “forehead protectors or headbands”’

[I think that is more of a girl thing, look most of the boy have them on properly]

Ignoring the fox, Tomoka decided to spend the rest of the day celebrating and pampering Nozomi and Hinata. Now that she could officially be considered an adult  all she had to do was go to a nearby bank office and retrieve some of her well earned money.

The day was spent going from one place to another shopping for nick-nacks and clothes. Not to mention the delicious food they bought from stalls here and there. By the time the sun was setting Nozomi and Hinata were carrying bags with what they bought and wide smiles. As the day ended the girls went their separate ways.

‘Alright now is time to tail Naruto and get myself some juicy forbidden knowledge’

[Stop grinning like that! You look like a pervert! And wipe that drool]

Ignoring the fox for the second time today, Tomoka retrieved a case she had hidden the day prior. Inside there was a black outfit she had painstakingly sewed that looked like that of a movie ninja from her past life.

Having changed her attire she got on with tonight’s agenda. First thing she did was find Naruto sneaking around towards the Hokage’s office building. Seeing his poor atempt at stealth Tomoka could help but wonder how the fuck he would actually steal the thing.

To her surprise, she had ten times more trouble avoiding being found than Naruto. It was like he had all the luck in the world on his side. Guards would look away for whatever reason right before Naruto passed them. It was like…

‘Fate huh, It has to be that, I find it hard to believe otherwise’ Once Naruto managed to enter the building Tomoka couldn’t follow him any further as the security in there was too tight. Half an hour or so later she saw the blond boy leaving with a large scroll under his arm.

‘Well, fate or what not be damned, I will still get something useful from this so who cares.’
