215. Need for speed
Once inside Tomoka walked towards a large tal door before turning around. With a face splitting grin Tomoka slamd her fist on the big red button by the wall. Instantly the thick tal door opened with a hiss revealing what lay beyond.
“This is the big room! It uses top of the line tech and seals to create a completely malleable environnt.” What t everyone’s eyes was the sight of an enormous ten kiloter cubed room. Featureless white walls, floor and ceiling composed of hundred ters square panels.
“Right now it's in rest mode so no environnt has been loaded into it. Let give you an example of what it can do.” With that said Tomoka spent a few seconds interacting with her womp before the room started to change.
A mont later a perfect replica of Konoha could be seen by everyone present. Even more frightening was that they could see people walking around doing what the usual residents would do.
“The room is a kiloter cubed in real space. However using seals the internal space has been expanded by ten tis. Everything you are seeing is a mixture of hard light constructs, genjutsu and nano constructors.” As Tomoka explained, she began walking inside. After walking up to the fake Konoha’s gate she tapped on her womp making the fake village disappear as the room went back to rest mode.
“With that said, let's have so fun with this.” Once again Tomoka tapped her womp a few tis. What followed was the sight of a race track being made from thin air. Followed by a myriad of different cars appearing from thin air to either side of the girl. The race track looked like sothing taken out of track mania more wild maps. With loops, wall rides and much, much more.
“Choose a vehicle and go through the tutorial to learn how to drive it. We have the whole day to have fun. Oh, but before that, safety first.” After saying that, Tomoka once again worked on her womp until from the ground ten glass chambers rose with full body armors inside.
“These are armors made to both safeguard and enhance its wearer.” Inside the tubes armors resembling those from the halo franchise could be seen in different colors and shapes. With a smile Tomoka walked to the red one before placing her palm on a hand scanner. A mont later both the tube and armor opened up allowing her to settle herself inside with no trouble as the armor closed around her.
“As long as you wear one of these you are pretty much immune to anything below A-ranked jutsus, and even those will deal minimal damage.” Tomoka’s voice ca out of the inbuilt speakers as she approached her car of choice. Call it cheating but her car had been personally designed by her with speed and only speed in mind. A scarlet red Lotus Evija looking beast. Aside from the usual fossil fuel engine, her version has a chakra reactor. Its top speed being a ridiculous five hundred kiloters per hour thanks to its gravitational engine preventing the car from lifting off the ground.
As Tomoka closed the door of the car a new track appeared in front of her, this being the tutorial track. Unlike the one they would be racing on later, this one didn’t have wall rides or any other ga like segnts. That didn’t matter to her however. With a massive grin on her face Tomoka put the pedal to the tal, feeling inertia pushing her against her car’s seat as she went from zero to a hundred in just a single second.
Seeing Tomoka race in the strange machine the others just shrugged their shoulders while walking towards the armors. Each one had their na at the top so there would be no confusion. Armored up and raring to go each one chose a car from the many that were laying around.
“Welco Nozomi Uchiha, would you like to engage in the tutorial?” Once Nozomi sat in her chosen car, a black Rimac Nevera looking one, a voice sounded from within her helt.
“Sure.” She didn’t feel all that interested though seeing Tomoka speed along the track did arouse a bit of her curiosity. Listening to the voice in her helt she morized the instructions. Though the automatic mode felt nice, sothing inside her made her go manual on her car as she aligned her car with the training track.
Once aligned her car windshield lit up with a display showing different information, from the state of the tires, engine to the most optimal path for maximum conservation of montum. Right in the middle a countdown started from ten. With each passing mont her heart rate increased until it reached zero.
On instinct Nozomi slamd the accelerator to the max. Her pupils dilated as her sharingan took in the details of everything within the display as well as the track flying by her. As the first curve ca into view she didn’t slow down but instead slamd the breaks as she spun the wheel. With the screech of tires against pavent her car smoothly glided through the curve while drifting.
“Oh hell yes!” Nozomi scread atop of her lungs as she continued down the track forcing her car to go as hard and fast as the machine could, after all, her sharingan was working just as hard.
anwhile Hinata too finished her brief tutorial. Seeing both Tomoka and Nozomi speed down the track she beca excited to join them. Once her countdown ca to zero she too slamd the accelerator as her own dojutsu worked to aid her in working her car to the limits.
Soon enough a total of ten cars were racing on the training stage as everyone got used to driving. So however, didn’t take to it as easily as the main trio. Karin, who had been here before, drove like crazy, barely avoiding the containnt walls by a bald toad’s hair. Temari and Kankuro at the start went at it with far more respect and fear. Gaara who seed almost uninterested at the start was now howling with joy as his voice overlapped with the tanuki. Finally Orochimaru was far more interested in the workings of the machine than the act of driving.
Once everyone finished their three training laps their cars ca to the starting line of the true race track. Ten cars side by side engines roaring their challenge to each other. At that mont Tomoka connected the inbuilt communications systems of each suit so they could talk.
“Alright, the rules are simple. No jutsu or anything of the sort. That’s it, have fun! Hahahaha” With that the countdown started from three. What the others didn’t know was that this track was far crazier than what they might have thought. Sure, they could see the loops, wall rides, and more. What they didn’t realize was that…
As soon as the tir hit zero everyone hit the accelerator to the max. However, the lurch they felt from inertia was ten tis stronger as the electromagnetic catapult built at the starting line lit up. Instantly ten cars accelerated to four hundred kiloters per hour as they shot out like bullets.
A mont later everyone reached the first obstacle, a vertical loop. As everyone’s cars entered the loop two instead purposefully drove to the side using the initial slope to jump over the gap landing at the end of the loop saving a good amount of ti.
“Hey! That’s cheating!” In the comms Naruko could be heard screaming after seeing Tomoka’s and Karin’s car doing this.
“You snooze, you lose blondy!” Karin’s voice was the one to answer as she began cackling. She had been racing against Tomoka’s phantoms for so ti now. There was no way a group of newbies would get the upper hand on her.
Now with Tomoka at the lead and Karin following close behind, a gap had opened between them and the rest. However, the race was far from over. Next up ca the corkscrew, a demanding wall ride. Should any of them release the accelerator while on it they would fall off.
“What the hell is that Tomoka!” Hinata couldn’t help but scream in the comms as she saw what was coming next.
“Hahaha, relax! Should you fall, the suit will keep you alive and a replica of your vehicle will be provided so you can continue competing!” Tomoka shouted as she entered the wall ride. Up and up she went as she had to avoid the many ramps on the wall ride designed to throw them off. It was a careful balance of avoidance since losing too much speed would have the sa result as going through a ramp.
Soon enough the rest entered the wall ride. Temari and Kankuro who had been scared shitless by this point fell off as their cars lost too much speed due to them decelerating out of fear. Nozomi and Satsuki had zero trouble thanks to their sharingan while Naruko’s instincts had her pulling through. Karin, who had raced on similar stages, went through it easily. Gaara unfortunately flew off after being unable to avoid a ramp. Finally Orochi sohow managed to make his car move like a snake weaving around the ramps with ease.
Though the sand trio hadn’t been outright eliminated the loss of ti would make it hard for them to recover. That wasn’t important for those still keeping up however as now they would enter the next segnt. One Tomoka lovingly called the railgun. Once on top after a short straight segnt a steep seventy five degree angle drop with magnetic accelerators would propel the cars downwards at speeds up to seven hundred kiloters per hour.
“Get ready people! Hahaha!” Being the first to enter the railgun, Tomoka felt her body slamming against her seat as her car accelerated at ridiculous speeds towards the next segnt, the one she called the spaghetti. It didn’t take long for Tomoka to hear the screams from the others as they entered the railgun.
“This is aweso!” Nozomi’s shout could be heard as she felt her heart hamring like crazy in her chest. She hadn’t stepped off the accelerator this whole ti.
“That’s the spirit!” Tomoka shouted in the comms once more as she worked hard to keep her car in the track. After all, she had just entered the spaghetti. A segnt of track with many twists, turns and small wallrides as well as wall hops. To make matters worse this entire segnt didn’t have a containnt barrier, aning it was extra easy to fall off the track.
Nozomi, who was the one ahead of the second group, was the first to enter the spaghetti. Normally, people would need to decelerate if they wanted to stay in the track. Nozomi however was too fond of going fast and so she abused her sharingan to the limits closing the gap between herself and Karin who had decelerated a bit.
“You aren’t the only one with a sharingan!” This ti Satsuki was the one to shout in the cos as she was determined to keep up with Nozomi. Satsuki’s eyes stinged a bit as she overworked her visual capabilities to keep up.
Just behind Naruko used Kurama’s chakra to form extra limbs so she could handle the wheel better as she abused her instincts to the max. She would drift and handle the car like a pro sohow keeping up with the two Uchihas.
Orochi, who had been enjoying the challenge so far, couldn't help but lick his lips as he concentrated on the challenge ahead. Once more he handled the car in such a way it made it look like a snake weaving through the track.
The sand trio who were currently the dead last had finally managed to pass the corkscrew and were entering the railgun marked by Kankuro’s and temari’s scream. Which one was girlier no one could tell. Seeing almost everyone being able to keep up, Tomoka decided to up the ante.
“Activate danger mode. Difficulty, annihilation!”
“Command received, initiating danger mode at difficulty annihilation!”
As everyone heard Tomoka’s command followed by the AI’s response they saw many strange comptrations appearing all around. To make matters worse, each one of these contraptions made their instincts scream danger.
“Tomoka what the fuck!” Hinata scread as the many machines began producing loud whirring sounds.
“Just making things more fun! Hint, don’t get hit! HAHAHA!” With that said Tomoka had to quickly drift to the side as a missile exploded where she had been. That's right, Tomoka had just activated a bunch of live guns!
“If it makes you feel better you are allowed to use any ans to defend yourselves including chakra!” With that said everyone began working hard to survive, not like they were in any real danger.
Tomoka decided to give herself a handicap to make things extra fun for herself. She wouldn’t be using any ability besides her driving skills to keep herself and her car going! Of course everything had been coded so it could be avoided with superb driving skills otherwise it would be no fun for non-shinobi.
Mayhem soon ensued as missiles and bullets began to rain on everyone. Karin, who was prepared for sothing like this, activated a series of seals she had placed on her personal car. Soon after a chakra barrier surrounded her car, tanking the attacks with ease despite the rather large chakra cost. Gaara covered his car in sand armor while Temari did a similar thing with wind.
Poor Kankuro didn’t have any such ans for defense and found his car blowing up soon enough. Orochi for his part chose to use different jutsus depending on the situation, from mud walls to fireballs. Naruko covered her entire car in Kurama’s chakra as the fox was having one hell of a ti. Satsuki, finding the situation to be rather bad for herself, could do nothing more than use her lightning release and fire release to defend herself as best she could.
Finally, Nozomi and Hinata were the ones having the easiest ti as they abused their doujutsus. Nozomi covered her entire car in susanoo while Hinata used her own dojutsu to redirect the bullets and missiles away from her car.
The race continued and everyone aside from Kankuro began closing the gap. Since Tomoka had to constantly dodge the bullet rains and missiles, not to ntion the mines her speed had gone down.
“Well, people, we are reaching the final stretch!” After the spaghetti there were so normal curves and straights which led up to the final segnt of the race track. Once again everyone found themselves being pushed into their seats as a new set of magnetic accelerators propelled them forward.
“Prepare for the abyss! Hahaha!” This ti Tomoka wasn’t the first one to enter the new segnt as she had been overtaken by Nozomi though not by much. What Nozomi ca to was a large fifty ters in diater tube with no light inside aside from the one produced by her car and the myriad of weapons pointed towards her.
Instantly the tunnel was lit up by the mussel flashes of the many guns as well as the explosions from the missiles. To make matters worse, the cylinder's many segnts would rotate in different directions. So segnts would have holes while others would have walls that people would need to avoid.
“I won’t lose so easily!” Shouted Tomoka after both Karin and Hinata had overtaken her. She still had an ace up her sleeve. flipping open a small transparent box attached to the side of her dashboard Tomoka slamd her hand on the bright red button with the word nitro written on it.
“Lets goooooo!” Instantly her car lurched forward as she accelerated past the usual maximum speed of her car. Small blue flas began spewing out of the exhaust pipe.
“See ya later suckas! hahah” It took but a mont for Tomoka to over take Hinata and Karin as she swerved and drifted avoiding the many dangers shot at her by the weapons inside the tunnel.
A mont later Tomoka’s car began closing in on Nozomi who could already see the light at the end of the tunnel. Both cars continued to race forward as they ca out of the tunnel, Tomoka's car a bit behind yet catching up quickly. As the finish line grew close in the final straight both girls pushed their cars to the limit until they passed the line almost at the sa ti, the winner unknown.
Monts later the rest began crossing the finish line until finally the last car ca to a stop. The track began disappearing as a screen appeared in front of them. Ten spots were on the screen as nas began rolling in like the sight of a gambling machine.
The first na to be seen was that of Kankuro at the last place followed by Temari and Gaara. In seventh place was Orochimaru, followed by Naruko and Satsuki. In fourth place ca Karin’s na who had lost to Hinata by re milliseconds. Finally the second place na ca into view.
“Ah fuck.” Tomoka Fushi had lost to Nozomi Uchiha by a single millisecond. She wasn’t really angry or disappointed about her loss. It's just that with this loss her clean streak of wins had finally been broken. That is what she gets for handicapping herself.
“Hehe, I won. What do I get as a reward~?” Seeing Nozomi’s cheeky grin, Tomoka and Hinata felt like having revenge on the girl.
“How about…” Tomoka started before turning towards Hinata while wiggling her eyebrows.
“You get our attention for the entire night tonight?” Hinata who caught on instantly to Tomoka’s idea continued.
“W-wait, we can talk about this!” Nozomi felt cold sweat on her back, she felt a mixture of excitent and trepidation. She could barely survive taking on Tomoka with the help of Hinata. Having both of them bullying her the entire night would be her end!
“Nope.” With that, Hinata heartlessly sealed Nozomi’s fate.
