The next day came quickly and with it the absence of Tomoka from the village. On her shoulders a rather large backpack with mostly foodstuff bobbed up and down as she ran through the forest. 

"Alright, I think we are far enough, Kurama, do it." As Tomoka said that a dense, red chakra cloak began flowing around her. On her back three fox tails made of said chakra swished back and forth. 

"Lets goooo!" The scream of an excited girl resounded through the forest as Tomoka began pumping her chakra into the speed force portal. Soon enough red sparks of electricity began crackling around her. Next she used Kurama's chakra on an old jutsu of hers. 

"Lightning style: Lightning Rush." Instantly blue sparks of electricity joined the red ones as her speed was boosted forward. 

"Gotta go fast!" Tomoka was having a great time zooming through the land at extreme speeds. At this point she was a little scared to add on the shunshin no jutsu on top. By her calculations she should be at her destination in one to two days using her current speed.

"Fuck it! More speed!" Moving her hands just as fast as she was traversing the land she used the shunshin no jutsu using Kurama's chakra. Instantly there was a sonic boom as she accelerated past the sound barrier. That's when she realized she would need to add another jutsu. 

"One more!" Once again Tomoka moved her hands, this time she used an old jutsu of hers as well. 

"Wind style: Low Wind Resistance." With this Tomoka's ears had some rest as the deafening sound of the broken sound barrier disappeared. Not only that but the uncomfortable feeling of the wind against her eyes and face also disappeared.

[This is using a lot of chakra.] Kurama for his part was feeling a bit uncomfortable… and jealous. He also wanted to experience speed.

"Hah! Not only that but my muscles are strained ass fuck!" It wasn't a lie. Tomoka's whole body was feeling the strain of moving and keeping such high speeds. If it wasn't for her extreme physical training with Lee and Guy she would have dropped with exhaustion already. 

"By the by, do you think I should open the first gate for more speed?" As she said that, Tomoka's smile turned into a maniac grin. She hadn't realized her love for speed until she opened the first gate the first time. It was during one of her practices with Guy and Lee. 

As she fought with them, then ran laps around Konoha, then fought again and did pushups she felt like there was a wall. It felt like this wall was blocking her path towards more physical power. It bothered and so she pushed and pushed until she smashed said wall. In reality the wall was the first gate. Once she opened it she felt a surge of power like no other. 

[I would say no since that technique is dangerous and all that but… you won't listen will you?] Kurama sounded a bit tired. He had lived with this crazy woman for twelve years now, he knows what she is like. 

"Nope" Tomoka said while popping the p. Next she began to feel for the gate. Soon after she found it and with a push and shove she opened it. 

"Gate of Opening: Open!" Tomoka's body was flooded with chakra which she redirected to her Speed Force portal. Suddenly her speed increased even more. Not only that but she felt like her wind jutsu had become useless as the speed force took over her defense against the wind. 

"I! AM! SPEED!" With that shout Tomoka ran at blinding speed as her body heated up from the exertion produced by her physical activity and the opening of the gate. For anyone that had a chance to try and see her all they would see is a blur with blue and red lightning following. 

An hour later, Tomoka had reached her destination. It was somewhere near the land of waves. A small country to the south of the land of fire. A normal shinobi would have needed a total of three days to reach this place. 

As Tomoka stopped and deactivated all the jutsus and speed force she felt like she tried to kiss a train. Her whole body hurt from the exertion but she didn't care. The rush of moving as fast as a fighter jet was worth it. 

Right now Tomoka stood next to one of her phantoms that looked towards a seemingly uninteresting part of the jungle. However, as soon as Tomoka's eyes landed on that same segment of jungle something unexpected happened.
