While Nozomi reports to the Hokage, Tomoka sits on a nearby rooftop thinking about the future. He had several clones observing the office through the window from afar. However, he was sure nothing would happen. Instead he thought of events that would happen in five to six years.
At that time the team made from his class will take the chunin exam and the snake man will attack. The question is, should he do something about it? He wondered how much his presence had changed the future and how much he could influence it.
Does he even want to change something? Some time ago he wondered if it was worth saving the third but now he did not feel that way. Due to the old man's stupidity and trust in the eye thief, Nozomi almost lost his life.
'I think I can give him an anonymous warning'
[So, are you going to tell him about Orochimaru's attack?]
'So, I'll write it in a cryptid and mysterious way'
Like that he started working and writing his message on a piece of paper. In it he wrote: When new blood rises, the snake will bite the leaves using sand. In the end the shadow of the fire will die with the snake's arm.
Satisfied with her little message, she had one of her clones have a doll delivering it. After he was done, he began to wonder what to do with the souvenirs he had stolen during the massacre.
In a cave some distance from Konoha, many jars with floating eyes were located on the hard and cold stone floor. Thanks to his preparations, Tomoka managed to create a total of three puppets that his clone could control.
He wanted to make more dolls but the materials needed were not only expensive but also limited. Transactions involving metal chakra are closely guarded by authorities. He had to pull the rope in the underworld and pay triple his usual fee to get what he was doing.
It's not all that important now. The primary and secondary missions were successful. He manages to save Nozomi and steals many shares from those killed. Tomoka felt dizzy thinking about Danzo's sour face when his eyes were less than he expected.
As for what would he do with the eyes he had stolen? Well it can be a great gift for a particular snake that he wants to learn. After all, Orochimaru was a genius in his field. Learning from him can give him some very good improvements on the technology he will develop. Learning from Tsunade was also an option but she didn't like it.
He can also watch himself and see what he can learn. Now that he knew that a certain lizard had fused with him, he wanted to know what he could get out of it. With over twenty pairs of eyes he had stolen, wasting a few was no problem.
'If whatever I do ends up working and somehow I get sharing, I wonder if I can do the same with the byakugan'
[You know, sometimes I wonder if you're really human. Not that I care, you can eat her eyes for everything I care about.]
'Actually, maybe eating it can do something. Better try later'
[Okay...of course.. By the way, do you remember the promise you made to me? When will you start]
'Really, make a body for you. Well I need to learn a few things from Orochimaru if I want to do it. Back in my world, cloning was a thing, so I believe I can do something similar here. Anyway, it'll take a minimum of six years, maybe eight years '
[Sure, don't forget. No matter how good this place is, it's boring sometimes]
