When Toji returned to the village, Afro was already sitting by his bedroom window. Toji, who was entering through the window, remained quiet for a moment.
-That explosion...- Afro spoke softly, his tone not accusatory, but certain.
When the explosion made the whole earth tremble, the entire village was excited for a while. Afro went to Toji's room, heard nothing, forced the door open, searching for danger, but Toji wasn't there.
He knew how strong Toji was, so when he heard the noise, he associated it with Toji.
However, he didn't go after Toji, he had left alone, which meant he didn't want help, and Afro could respect that.
So he stayed there, waiting, if he didn't return by dawn, Afro would take a look. If he had died, that was it, death is always around him. Afro had stopped worrying about death a long time ago.
Toji looked at Afro for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Afro looked at him, seeing no wound, simply stood up, walked through the door and went straight out. Toji also entered, looked at the broken doorknob and rolled his eyes, ignoring it, he threw himself onto the bed, he just wanted to sleep now.
However, it seemed the world wouldn't let Toji rest, a few minutes later, Toji opened his eyes, sighing irritably.
He raised his torso and looked at the figure in his window, a ninja, an Anbu mask, a clear Kumo mark.
Toji sensed various life forms surrounding the building, all of which wanted to cause his death.
-Couldn't you have waited a few hours?- Toji asked irritably, looking at the ninja still at his window.
Just as Toji was about to stretch a little, he heard a loud noise from the next room, clearly the sound of metal colliding.
The Kumo ninja seemed to take this as a reason to move, drawing his sword from his shoulder, he appeared in front of Toji, slashing forcefully. The movement took only a fraction of a second, but Toji was still in a position to stretch.
When the katana was inches from Toji's neck, the ninja's eyes widened, and Toji vanished!
The next moment, he felt a hand gripping his shoulder. Still on alert, he wanted to move away quickly, but before he could move, extreme pain shot through his entire body.
Toji watched the Ninja emitting immense heat as he held his shoulder, his skin drying out and turning black, soon turning to dust, scattering ashes across the bed.
Toji pursed his lips, he was only in his underwear, unaccustomed to sleeping in clothes. As he was about to bend down to pick up his pants, his eyes widened slightly. The next moment, Toji's figure, still holding his pants, slammed against the wooden wall leading to Afro's room, opening a clear 'window'.
A fraction of a second later, the room where Toji was standing was covered in extremely concentrated lightning, turning everything to dust.
While still in the air, Toji quickly pulled up his pants, and by the time he landed, he was already dressed, at least he wouldn't have to fight in his underwear.
In the room, Afro had already eliminated two ninjas. He was stunned when Toji broke through his wall, but before he could say anything, he felt Toji's hand on his shoulder. The next moment, they jumped away from the room.
Just in time to dodge a huge dragon fire jutsu burned down the second floor of the inn.
Toji pursed his lips. Couldn't these Kumo ninjas really let him breathe a little?
From his wrist, in Puppet form, the Snake Clone reverted to its purple snake form and coiled around Toji's body, opening its mouth. Shakukonto appeared, Toji placed his hand on the sword's hilt and pulled it, just in time to quickly cut a dozen kunai thrown at him. Afro was also targeted, cutting the kunai with the same mastery as Toji.
-Hey, Afro.- Toji called.
Afro looked at him, his expression still indifferent, even with the situation.
Toji smiled slightly, a smile quickly giving way to a grin of predatory madness. - Let's bet, whoever kills the fewest pays for the destruction.
Afro scoffed, but he didn't disagree, dozens of figures appeared around them, in plain sight or hidden, there were at least 30 of them. Toji genuinely wondered why the people of Kumo were so angry.
However, in the next moment, a figure jumped out from between the Kumo ninjas, heading straight for Toji.
-Owyeeeeeee! - The figure shouted, drawing a sword and attacking Toji directly.
Toji's eyes widened slightly as he defended with Shakukonto, but the force caused his feet to leave the ground, and he was thrown far away, destroying a house as he crashed through its walls.
By this point, the civilians were either hiding or had run away, like a small village in a small country, nobody cared about fighting directly in the city.
Toji slowly stood up, pushing aside the broken wooden planks that were on top of him. Still holding Shakukonto in his hand, he suffered no injury whatsoever.
Looking at Killer B, he smiled and said. -Nice entrance, now... it's my turn.
