Magnet Style Toroi

Toroi was actually mentioned very little in the original work. His only highlight was probably being summoned by Kabuto Yakushi.

But Habara knew him, because this guy had come to Konoha a few years ago, and that time, their target had been Hinata.

Habara had even heard that during the Third Great Ninja War, this guy had caused quite a bit of trouble for many Leaf Ninja on the battlefield in the Land of Hot Water.

To put it bluntly, he was someone rarely mentioned in the original work, but he truly was exceptionally strong.

Running into this guy gave Habara a real headache. Magnet Style really was not an easy ability to deal with, because he could use it to control his opponent's weapons.

Any iron weapon, whether it was kunai or ninja swords, could not escape that control.

And once he used that ability, an opponent's own weapon would suddenly attack them. One could imagine just how disastrous that would be.

"It's actually this guy. This really is a big fish."

Habara said softly, and his gaze had already changed slightly.

Although this group's appearance had caused him to lose one target, could they not also make up for his losses?

"We'll still proceed according to the original plan. We can't let a big fish like this get away."

"Be careful. I'll come back to support you as soon as I can."

Shisui did not object. Instead, he spoke to Habara seriously. It was clear he was very worried about Habara's safety.

"When the time comes, who supports who is still hard to say."

Habara smiled and nodded softly. Then his gaze locked onto Toroi, and in an instant, his eyes turned scarlet with three tomoe.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique." Once everything was ready, Habara was the first to form hand seals and launch his attack.

He directly chose the technique with the widest range. As for its effect, he was not entirely sure either, but after scouting, there were four people on the other side in total.

Since the enemy had more people, choosing this kind of wide-area covering technique gave him a much higher chance of hitting them.

"Hmm? Careful, enemy attack!"

These Hidden Cloud Ninja also reacted extremely quickly, especially Toroi, who noticed something was wrong at the first moment.

With his warning, all the Cloud Ninja reacted. Some quickly formed hand seals, while others immediately turned to dodge.

"Go!"

After the Hidden Cloud formation was scattered, Habara and Shisui also rushed out of their hiding place at that moment.

The scarlet Sharingan in their eyes swept left and right, and they quickly confirmed the specific positions of those Cloud Ninja.

Without any extra communication, Shisui used the Body Flicker Technique and went toward the Cloud Ninja who had scattered and dodged.

Habara, meanwhile, locked onto Toroi. He dashed forward and quickly closed in, and the instant Toroi had just landed, his fist smashed over fiercely!

Toroi reacted with astonishing speed. He almost immediately made a countermeasure, crossing his arms in front of his chest and blocking Habara's punch by a hair's breadth.

"Uchiha?"

Toroi noticed Habara's scarlet eyes at the first moment, so he subconsciously shifted his gaze away from Habara's eyes.

But his tone was not friendly at all. It could even be said to be full of anger.

"What are you trying to do? Start a war?"

"A war? You don't need to put it that way. This isn't the Land of Fire, and it isn't your Land of Lightning either."

Habara was not buying his act. He quickly withdrew his hand, then kicked fiercely toward Toroi's lower body.

However, when his movement was only halfway through, he sensed something was wrong. Almost in an instant, he stopped his foot and used the Substitution Technique at the same time!

The sound of slicing through the air rang out, but unfortunately, what remained on the ground was only a few pieces of wood, while Habara's figure had already appeared beneath a large tree not far away.

The Substitution Technique, one of the most basic Three Basic Jutsu for ninja, was often also the one most capable of saving lives.

"Your reaction really is fast." Toroi glanced at the shattered wood on the ground, then turned his head to look toward Habara's location. "Kid, you're very good, and your eyes are very good too.

Having eyes like that at your age means you definitely aren't some nobody. You're Uchiha Habara, right?"

"That would be me." Habara nodded lightly. He did not find it strange that his identity had been recognized.

After all, Habara himself could be considered a genius ninja of the Uchiha Clan, and he had been carrying out missions all these years. He still had some reputation in the ninja world.

There was nothing surprising about being recognized, and he knew very well that now was not the time to care about such things.

As a qualified ninja, the most important thing was to cast aside distracting thoughts during battle. Only by fighting with full focus could one obtain victory.

"So it really is you. I have to say, you Uchiha really are special." Toroi seemed somewhat emotional. He stared at Habara and said in an indifferent voice, "After you gain the Sharingan that belongs to you, you can undergo a qualitative change. The heavens really do favor you."

"What a boring argument." Habara continued to stare at Toroi, but at this point, he had already begun throwing away all the metal tools on his body. "The heavens won't give you power for no reason. If you take it that much for granted, then you really aren't far from death."

"Maybe. But I really am curious about the power of you Uchiha." Toroi narrowed his eyes slightly, and a disdainful smile appeared on his face. "Also, throwing away your metal can indeed restrict part of my performance, but—"

Without any warning, several kunai instantly appeared behind Habara. These kunai swiftly cut across his body and pierced his heart.

At the same time, Toroi himself had already arrived in front of Habara in an instant, and he punched Habara fiercely.

"Without weapons, how are you going to face me!"

His fist roared, but in an instant, Toroi already felt that the impact was wrong.

And the smoke that emerged afterward also let him know that this damned Uchiha had used the Substitution Technique.

But he was not too concerned. After all, this was a genius youngster of the Uchiha, already possessing the Three Tomoe Sharingan at such a young age.

Having that kind of reaction speed was only natural. After all, his own movements had probably all been seen clearly by him!

Toroi quickly took out a scroll and tore it open.

In an instant, dozens of square, tile-like shuriken appeared along with billowing smoke. Under his control, the shuriken floated up and began spinning slightly, one after another.

Toroi began searching seriously for Habara's position, and after only a moment, a smile appeared on his face.

"Found you!"

Along with Toroi's furious roar, those square shuriken seemed to receive an order, and they shot rapidly toward the place where Habara was hiding.

A house was instantly smashed apart by those shuriken.
