A few moments later Nozomi opened her eyes.
He felt comfortable because his head was placed on a very soft pillow. Her groin mind refused to reboot properly as she felt a calming sensation on her scalp. However, as his mind finally started to work properly, he looked at Tomoka's face with a warm smile. The pillow of her head was laid down was Tomoka's thigh, and the sensation on her scalp was the gentle touch of Tomoka's fingers slowly combing her hair.
Nozomi wants to close her eyes again and enjoy the sensation, but the memories of their previous conversation prevent her from doing so. He wants, no, he needs to know the truth, everything. Sitting down, Nozomi looked at Tomoka with a sharp gaze.
He started thinking about Tomoka's words. He soon realized why Tomoka had not told the Hokage master. If his clan really planned a coup then more blood would be spilled if they survived. However, it did not remove the sadness from his heart.
"Why?" That was all he could do when his throat was choked.
“Coup has been going on for a long time. After the second Hokage evaded your clan to the outer edge of the village, tensions escalated. Danzo, the rat bastard, sees Uchiha as a danger and does everything he can to widen the distance between them and the village. Simply put, a coup has been planned by Danzo so that he can use it as an excuse to exterminate them.”
Tomoka decides to blame everything on Danzo and hides the fact that the third agrees, albeit reluctantly, to the massacre. If Nozomi finds out later, he can only pretend not to know the fact.
Nozomi himself closed his eyes as it started to itch. His entire body was trembling with uncontrollable hatred. Danzo, that name felt like a vile poison on his tongue as he said it quietly. He'll make her pay with blood. As the Uchiha girl continued to sink into her hatred, she felt soft and warm arms encircling her body. Opening his eyes, he realized Tomoka was hugging him.
“Do not let hatred cover your mind. Use it instead, hate those who persecute you and burn your faith to be better off with the hate born out of their actions. Control your hatred, don't let it control you.” Therefore, Tomoka released the girl from her embrace as she wiped her tears with her hands.
"You've taken your first step toward that goal, look" As she said that she took a polishing kunai to use as a mirror.
As Nozomi stared at her shadow, she saw a pair of blood-red eyes with one tomoe encircling her pupils. He finally woke up his bed. He should feel happy for his progress, instead he felt hollow. This eye was born from tragedy and he would use it to take revenge. No, not only for that, he would also use it to protect what he left behind.
Moments later the two infiltrate back into Konoha as Tomoka explains a few more things to Nozomi. For starters, he explained about the development of sharing. As she explains the method to obtain the mangekyo and its eternal version, Nozomi becomes dizzy.
"I'd rather gouge out these cursed eyes than kill you!" She screamed as her hands moved towards her eyes intending to do as she said.
"Quiet down! No need for that. Progress through special chakra is produced when the wearer experiences overwhelming grief. That is why it is considered necessary to kill or witness the death of the most loved one. However, we may find a way to produce that chakra through other means so relax”
After hearing Tomoka's words, Nozomi calmed her nerves. Although he did not abandon the idea of gouging out his eyes if that was the case. He swore in his heart that he would rather kill an entire village before injuring one of Tomoka's hair.
They kept talking while walking because Tomoka also told him that he was not the only survivor. Finally, the two stood in front of the Konoha bureaucratic building where the Hokage office was located. After all, they need to report Nozomi's survival.
