(That hurt, but I think it's time to get this over with before the bastard with the paper bombs attacks).
Sighing, Toru adopted his combat stance while looking at his targets.
"Dansu gyakusatsu: Shimekiri [Dancing Massacre: Death Line]"
Saying this, the way Toru looked at things changed, now the lines of death stopped, showing among all this spectacle of golden lines, a single crimson line connecting the four ninjas.
"Die..."
Toru's body flashed, instantly disappearing and reappearing behind Kirou's bodyguards. His daggers were covered in the blood of his enemies and, for some reason, there was a satisfied smile on this boy's face.
(Phase three finished, the last phase begins)
Kirou did not understand what was happening, his bodyguards were staring into the void, as if they had lost their souls, but suddenly, his eyes opened in horror, as the heads of these four ninjas separated from their bodies, falling to the ground, leaving a pool of blood and sowing fear in the heart of this old man.
"Get me out of here! Help me! Help me!"
"Ha~? Why are you screaming, old man? It's not the end of the world. Come on, don't go, stay with me, okay?"
Kirou was terrified, the smile this brat had on his face was not normal. The look in his eyes and the bloodlust that filled the room, made this old man wet his pants.
"Help me, this brat is crazy!"
Crawling on the floor, Kirou wanted to leave that place, he didn't want to die. And, ironic as it sounds, the bastard was regretting everything he had done so far.
But seeing this old man crying and screaming, made Toru feel at ease being in this place full of death and suffering.
"Fufufufu... Hahahaha!"
Laughing out loud, Toru never felt so happy, this was something that was filling the emptiness in his heart, and he obviously liked this feeling, he didn't want this to end, but he was in the middle of a mission, so it's a pity.
"Come here, I won't do anything to you, I'm not going to kill you."
Grabbing Kirou by the foot, Toru dragged him to the center of the room. The old man was screaming and flailing in a futile attempt to run away, but it wasn't going to work, as Toru's strength was far greater than his.
*Crujir!
"Aghhhhhhhhh!"
Staring at Kirou with wide eyes, Toru began to break his joints, one after another, the crunching of bones could be heard clearly, accompanied by this bastard's melodious cries of suffering. Adding to it a bit of this boy's maniacal laughter.
"Whew... this is a lot of work."
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Toru saw Kirou, who was still conscious, but could barely move because his joints were jointly broken.
"Are you crying?"
Returning the poker expression to his face, Toru looked at the old man suffering on the ground and, then, he felt that he could already finish this mission with his last, wonderful and cruel idea.
"I told them not to come out unless I say so, but I think this is too timely. Come on, stop hiding."
Looking at the door of the place, the girls who had been kidnapped entered the room. Everyone's eyes widened like saucers when they saw the carnage. All the walls, the floor and even the ceiling were covered in blood, but after that they looked at Kirou, lying on the floor, like the worst piece of shit in the world.
"Take a weapon, any one, there are many you can choose from" Toru said, but the girls felt confused.
However, Toru's eyes shone, looking intently at these girls. So, feeling intimidated, they took the kunai and katana of some ninja who was already dead and stayed in the same place without saying a word.
Watching this very carefully, the smile returned to Toru's mouth. Then, looking at Kirou with Shigan's gleam in his eyes, he opened his arms as if he was going to hug someone and spoke.
"You girls, you have the man who ruined your lives in front of you, he is helpless, he can't move and the only thing he will be able to do is scream. Unlike him, you carry sharp weapons and hatred that corrupts your hearts, you are tired of being treated like objects, however, now you have been presented with the opportunity to get this tasty and cold revenge, so, tell me, what will you do?"
They looked at him with confused faces, but instantly understood what this boy had told them earlier 'It is you who will save yourselves.'
(This is when human beings are able to give up what they are to get something they always wanted. This is how it works, this is how I have always seen this world, no matter in what life, it is always the same).
With a smile whose eyes were covered by his hair, Toru walked slowly to the exit as Kirou's screams of agony began to be heard echoing in the room. This was something that amused him greatly, something that made his heart feel the thrill of watching a life perish before what that same life has brought about with the passing of time.
"Fufufufu... Hahahaha!"
With his hands in his pockets, while his eyes shone brightly through his hair, this child... has finished his mission.
-Outside the mansion-
Team 11 has already finished immobilizing the sentries that were outside the mansion, however, Hinata and Ino felt worried as Yamato had closed all the entrances and exits of the mansion, the place where Toru was locked up.
"We're done, let's wait for Toru to come out."
Locking all the enemies in a wooden cage, Yamato looked at the door with a stoic expression. It had already been almost an hour since the mission started, so in a few minutes Yamato would be forced to enter the mansion.
On the other hand, Hinata and Ino looked at each other. Although they knew they had to trust Toru, they still couldn't shake that feeling of worry, after all it had been quite some time since the mission started.
"Toru-Kun!"
Looking with the Byakugan, Hinata could see Toru approaching the front door, this caused a slight smile to form on Ino and Yamato's mouths.
So, clasping their hands together, Yamato removed all the roots from the mansion's entrances, allowing Toru to come out.
However, everyone was shocked to see Toru, who was completely covered in blood, as well as having that typical expressionless face.
"The mission is completed, however, we'll have to wait a bit since the girls are having a bit of fun."
Saying something that none of the ninja present could understand, Toru walked over to a rock shaped like a pillow and sat there.
At the same time, Hinata and Ino looked directly at him. They were surprised, although they didn't quite know what had happened, after all Hinata stopped seeing the inside of the mansion the moment the explosion was heard.
After that, team 11 entered the mansion to make sure that Kirou was dead, but what they found made Yamato, Hinata and Ino feel chills, because what they could see in that place was a group of girls covered in blood and the mutilated body of Kirou.
(Well done...)
Toru saw them and smiled a little. It could be said that this mission was completed to perfection, although everyone inside the mansion died except for the kidnapped girls.
(Toru did all this?)
She was still shocked, that was evident, however, Ino tried to look calm at all times, after all this is her job as a kunoichi of Konoha, this was something she would see more often, so getting used to it was the best decision.
(No matter what happened, the mission managed to be completed... I was useful to the team, that reassures me) Ino thought as she looked at the silver-eyed boy with a slight smile on her mouth.
"The mission is over, the ANBU recon ninjas will be coming shortly, they will take care of the cleanup and autopsy of all the deceased, besides, they will escort those girls on their way home."
The mission for Toru has been completed, more than fifty people died from the edge of this guy's daggers. This made Yamato sigh, since, upon returning to Konoha, he would have to write a very long report about what happened here.
This was good though, after all the Village would have a new chunin rank ninja serving them, a ninja who had been able to assassinate over fifty ninja all by himself in a short period of time.
(Hm... I'm still worried about a few things. I guess I'll try to look for solutions upon returning to Konoha. But... Itachi, uh... This brings back memories I thought I had forgotten. The massacre of two major clans, a single ninja was the protagonist of the murders and there's also the return of those spies, again they're watching me).
Crossing his arms, while letting out a long sigh, Toru felt his life was becoming more difficult. He knew that when he returned to Konoha he would be watched again, but... Why? That was the question.
(The reason behind it all... I want to know, I want to know everything about that event. I need to know, and for that, I need to investigate.)
The secrets hidden by the Asahi and Uchiha clan, the reason behind the crimson night massacre, the reason why Itachi was the protagonist of all the murders, he wanted to know everything and, most importantly, who is behind all this?
These questions made Toru feel tired, it was as if he was a brat who was never told anything. But this attitude could easily be justified, after all this was the curiosity and madness of an Asahi, something they inherited from the Uchiha clan.
"Hm? What are you doing?"
Toru looked at Ino, who looked at him for a second then grabbed his hand and dragged him away from the place.
-A few minutes later, somewhere near Kirou's mansion- -A few minutes later, somewhere near Kirou's mansion-.
For some reason Ino took Toru's hand and dragged him into the forest.
He seemed to be confused, although with the expression on his face it was hard to tell if he was feeling something at that moment. Obviously this didn't matter much to Ino, who continued dragging Toru until they reached a place a little hidden in the forest.
Once there, Ino positioned herself in front of Toru while looking at the ground with clenched fists. This raised Toru's curiosity, who couldn't help but ask.
"May I ask what...?"
However, Toru was interrupted by a hard slap on the cheek, which left him looking to the right with Ino's hand mark on his face. This obviously hurt, after all Ino for some reason had a lot of strength, but Toru knew why this girl had hit him.
"I know I deserve it, but... Why are you crying?"
Toru looked at Ino, who at the same time was looking at him with small tears peeking out of the corners of her eyes, moreover, for some reason this girl's cheeks were flushed, they were so red that he could compare the color to that of a tomato.
And although Toru asked a question, Ino kept silent for a few seconds. She was looking into his eyes, her fists clenched.
"You... you... you... you're an idiot!"
Ino clenched her fists tightly, she had been thinking a lot about Toru. She had thought about what this boy did to her before starting the mission and instantly remembered everything that had happened since Team 11 was created.
Every moment was a little strange. At first Ino hated Toru, hated him so much she could barely look him in the face without feeling angry. She treated him like crap, every time repeating to him that he was a loser or a weirdo.
But since that night, Ino saw Toru with different eyes, after all he had saved her life by risking himself in the attempt.
She thought that it was a fleeting feeling, that the empathy she felt for him would disappear the next day, but as time went by, she discovered new things about Toru and eventually, he won a place in her heart.
Ino had fallen in love with Toru, it was more than evident.
At the same time, Toru was silent, after all he had just been called an idiot, which makes a bit of sense, but that was getting off topic. So what is this girl doing right now?
The little tears in her eyes, her cheeks flushed and the look in her eyes, it's like she was trying to say something, but for some reason she couldn't. Still, that didn't stop her from being able to express herself properly, after all....
"¡¿?!"
Ino rushed over and grabbed Toru by the scarf, pulling him in and making their lips meet forming a kiss that made this girl's emotions explore.
This made her body act on instinct, wrapping her arms around Toru's torso.
(I must say it, I must say it... If I don't, I'll regret it).
Parting her lips and looking up into Toru's eyes, Ino felt warmth in her heart. Then, resting her head on Toru's chest, she let out her feelings in the form of words.
"I like you..." Ino said as she clung tightly to Toru's body.
-Near that place-
A tear fell to the ground, at the same time... she touched her chest as if her heart had broken into a thousand pieces. The sad expression on her face gave away what she was feeling at that moment, Hinata felt as if she had lost something precious that she will never be able to get back.
"Toru-kun..."
