Other world chimera [Naruto fanfic]

80. Explanations

After a while Nozomi calmed down. She wanted to trust Tomoka and so she would. Nozomi decided to repress her anger for the time being. Tomoka had never let her down so she hoped that whatever explanation she gave would be enough. 

“Uhm, you said that Konoha only has one tailed beast, right? Then, why are there two jinchurikis?” Hinata brought the conversation back on track. 

“That is because no one could become the vessel for the kyubi at the time. In the past the Uzumaki clan would send someone to become the jinchuuriki. However, as you know that clan was destroyed during the second shinobi war. The reason why the Uzumaki clan made for good vessels is due to their immense life force.

During the attack twelve years ago there was no Uzumaki alive who could become the vessel… or rather, there was no mature Uzumaki for that. As you two know we have a friend that goes by that surname.”

“Wait a second… Does that mean that Naruto is the other jinchuuriki?” Nozomi couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

“Bingo. The fourth Hokage’s solution to the problem was splitting the kyuubi into two. One with all of its yin chakra, which is the one sealed inside me and the other with all its yang chakra which is sealed in Naruto. 

Well, the original plan of the fourth was to use a forbidden jutsu to seal the yin part inside himself while the jutsu killed him. However, I coincidentally ended up nearby and as you two can see from my bright red hair I could be considered of the Uzumaki clan.”

“That does not explain the circumstances you were talking about. That thing inside you is dangerous! I can’t believe the fourth would do something as ridiculous as sealing a demon fox inside two babies!” Nozomi’s anger towards Konoha grew strongers. First the third let her clan be eradicated and now the fourth sealed a demon inside her girlfriend!   

“Calm down, the kyubi wasn’t entirely responsible for what happened. He was being controlled by a sharingan, to be more specific a mangekyo sharingan from a traitor called Obito. The only two kills that could be attributed to him through all that would be the death of Minato Namikaze the fourth Hokague and Kushina Uzumaki his wife and previous jinchuuriki.” 

“So it’s all that Obito guy’s fault?” Nozomi still felt reluctant to let her hatred of the kyubi go but she was willing to do so for Tomoka. Obito on the other hand has become her revenge target. That guy had to die by her hand no matter what. 

“Yes, if you want I could pull the two of you into my mindscape so that you could converse with the kyubi.”

‘Oi, Kurama if they accept I want you to apologize to Nozomi’

[What? why? I have nothing to apologize for! I wasn’t in control at the time not to mention that they were probably trying to seal me as well!]

‘Kurama, play nice or I will change my mindscape into a smoldering desert for a month!’ 

[Uhk… fine, but I want you to change the mindscape into a nice and comfy prairie for a week after]

‘Deal’    

“Alright, I want to listen to what this demon fox has to say.” Nozomi’s gaze became determined. 

“I, uhm, would like to see it as well.” 

“Good then sit down with your legs crossed and I will do the rest.” 

Following Tomoka’s instructions the two sat down. A moment later Tomoka sat behind them while placing her hands on their backs. She had no idea of how Bee or Naruto did this in the anime so she devised her own method.

“This will feel a bit uncomfortable, please don’t resist.” As Tomoka warned them she began. 

Her method consisted of using her phantoms. First, two phantoms would possess Hinata and Nozomi. These phantoms came from her reservoir of phantoms living inside her body. Next she would use the phantoms to disconnect their nervous system from their bodies placing them into a pseudo-sleeping state. Next, she connected the phantoms to another pair inside her mindscape.

Like this Tomoka made a pseudo-virtual reality using her phantoms. Now the phantoms possessing Hinata and Nozomi would work as relays, and the phantoms inside her mindscape would work as the avatars the two would use. As a last step Tomoka had the two phantoms inside her mindscape use a henge to look as their respective users.
