Other World Chimera
Only mine

In the mindscape when the books are where they should be, everything stops. The decaying plants, the bubbling water, and the bloody sky, all stopped. As if time replayed, decay receded as the flora regained its strength and life. The red sky experiences the same phenomenon as the red begins to disappear giving way to a nice and soothing cyan. Finally, the lake water began to clear.

The creature that appeared within the lake stared at Kurama one last time before retreating into the water beside the final bitumen-like substance. The fox for his part heaved a sigh of relief. Whatever it was had given him a sense of danger that no one else had experienced.

Outside, in the real world Tomoka sat frozen as his mind processed the memories he had just obtained. As he did so, his heart calmed down as his eyes began to glaze over. He's safe, Nozomi is safe, Plan K-1 is successful.

While thinking that Tomoka looked again towards the girl covered in a bloody blanket as her figure changed back to its original form. Another Uchiha girl of her age was there, not Nozomi, just an ordinary girl.

'Plan K, k for kidnapping. Kidnap Nozomi and take her to the safe zone before replacing her with someone else' It was a memory she had sealed.

'To trick the enemy, you must first trick your allies. Taking it one step further, you have to deceive yourself 'It worked, the plan worked spectacularly. A crazy grin appeared on Tomoka's face.

The girl was too caught up in the rush of emotions that she did not realize a ninja was approaching her with a tanto in hand. The next thing he knew a knife had pierced through his chest from behind. However, he doesn't care.

“Art is a blast!” Quoting a mad bomber, Tomoka activated a bunch of bombs that she planted both indoors and on her current body. What followed was a loud explosion as the entire place was smashed into pieces.

Outside Konoha, in one of the many caves found the ghost of Tomoka sits Tomoka with legs crossed and eyes closed. A moment later he opened his eyes as the link with the ghost he controlled broke off.

The same crazy grin that his shadow had before the sacrifice appeared on his face. With this field test he managed to find a solution to one of his phantom weaknesses.

Of course, this solution has its own problems. The draining of chakra to control the puppet made the Phantom's lifespan reduced to only a quarter of its original. Not to mention the time it takes to make puppets and the cost of the materials.

However, all of that was not important to him at this moment. What matters is what or rather who is sleeping soundly next to him. Nozomi breathed softly on the mattress that Tomoka was carrying.

Looking to the side, Tomoka saw Nozomi's peaceful expression as several strands of her black hair fell down covering her face. With a light laugh Tomoka moved them to the side. When his eyes were fixed on the girl's reddish lips. Something in him had changed, Tomoka could feel it.

Earlier, when he believed that Nozomi had been killed, he felt his world had collapsed right in front of him. Now seeing the girl sleeping soundly only one thought remained in her mind.

'Mine' No more, no less. Tomoka's mind was still muddled, but that one thought had settled down like a fortress inside there. There is nothing in this world that can move or change that thought.

'Mine and only mine' Nozomi is hers. They have promised each other to stay together forever and he will make sure that it will happen. When he thought that he was reminded of Hinata and the fact that they had made the same promise.

'Also mine' Hinata is also hers. Like a dragon, he would fight for what belonged to him and would kill anyone who dared to think of taking his own.

With that thought Tomoka smiled as she approached Nozomi, giving a soft kiss on her forehead. The sleeping girl moved for a moment before her expression turned into a gentle smile.
