The journey outside of the village on her 27th birthday was a rather quiet and peaceful one which was rather odd and unsettling. Considering the country was in a constant power struggle among the villages and each one was trying to gain more land and have more influence, the lack of any confrontations or even meeting someone was just bizarre. Nevertheless, it was possible that rival villages were avoiding the area around where Tomomi lived as they continually were pushed back by the half-breeds protected their home with their lives and had the special gift inside of them that somewhat made them immortal; unfortunately, Tomomi did not have that special gift to its full capacity yet, but she had begun by taking the heart of her damned father who constantly abused her in various methods. Nevertheless as she told her colleagues before, she was going to venture further from their village to do some scouting and potentially run into other village's forces that would likely outnumber her, but she requested to do this alone.For the next two to three hours, there was nothing exciting to write home during her "mission" as she would see rival villages, but they would not engage her in any way. This was typical of most of the villages in the country when it came to a foreigner in their lands; if you didn't intrude on them or cause any issues for them, they would leave you alone and allow you to travel freely without any issues. But if you stirred trouble or did something that they did not approve of, one needed to be ready to fight and risk their lives as many of the villages (Tomomi's included) did not hold back and would use full force as needed. During this little journey though, she would see various animals that looked delicious and would have loved to try them with her sage master at her cabin sometime if her head would not be hunted for killing some delicious food on enemy village's territories which made expanding their village's influence an excellent idea. But, that would come in due course.
As the journey would continue, the Murakami half-breed would stumble upon some stray onis from one of the other territories which did not allow her to go on her way peacefully. These two horrendous looking creatures with their clubs in hand would charge at her swinging wildly and easily miss their mark as Tomomi sidestepped their attacks and gave a simple shove to push them away as she did not need to kill unless it was absolutely necessary in her mind. With this small window, she shifted her weight to go into a defensive position and unsheathed her blessed sword to prepare for what was likely to come which was a duel to the death between them all. She would not have to wait long to find out as they would be rushing her again clubs a-swinging which she blocked with her sword easily and pushed them back again with a kick to them both which simply only angered them more as they continually charged at her swinging and having their attacks blocked with little to no trouble at all. However, there were a few times that they would actually make it through her blocks and hit her armor hard, but she shook it off with little to no effort as her armor was heavy-duty and was built for durability in a fight since she and the other half-breeds of their village were simply tools to the leadership and the onis of the village.
This little contest would continue for a little while longer until Tomomi believed that she had worn them out as they started to slow. When this occurred, she used her eyes to place an illusionary technique of them that made it difficult for them to differentiate between friend and foe and simply slipped into hiding nearby without them knowing at all. From her location, she watched as they grew frustrated and began to angrily swing with no logic at all as they grunted something under their breath to possibly themselves or each other. As they did this, they would accidentally hit one another a few times screaming at one another and their attacking transitioned simply to bashing each other with their clubs which caused injuries to them both as they were not wearing any armor and a weapon of that size could do some significant damage to bare flesh and bone; it would not take long before they collapsed to the ground in pain.
When they had injured and exhausted themselves, Tomomi would reappear and simply allow her tendrils to put the final blow into both of them as they pierced their hearts killing them instantly as one of the hearts was ripped out of the chest cavity of an oni. This heart would go through her mouth and go immediately into one of the open storage areas of the chest likely right beside her damned father's. From within the tendrils would ensure that the heart would function and begin to help it generate blood throughout the body while linking it to the other two (Tomomi's and her father's). As for the corpses of the onis, she would simply use a simple fire-based Ninjutsu to burn them into ash before using a small gust of wind to allow them to blow away.
After they were disposed of, she would pick up her sword and sheathe it before proceeding to walk through Tomoe Country some more. After all, there was still plenty of daylight and she was build to be a tool for her village thus she could continue for quite some time. However, she was still partially human and eventually she would need to take a break as her body would need it especially depending on how much more ground she scouted today while also simply enjoying her 27th birthday.
