"Fine, as you wish. Now you've fallen." Toguro shrugged indifferently, ignoring the shouts of the ordinary Star Village Ninja nearby. He then strode toward the training room where the Star was kept.
The Hoshigakure ninjas standing around him backed away again and again in terror when they saw Toguro approaching. None of them dared stand in his way.
In the end, only two Hoshigakure ninjas, a boy and a girl around thirteen or fourteen years old, stood trembling before Toguro to stop him.
"W-We won't hand the Star over to you. Hoshigakure won't submit so easily!" Though both his legs were shaking, the young male ninja still bravely spoke those words.
"Oh." Toguro responded without expression and flicked a finger. The powerful force of his finger drove the air forward with a piercing shriek, forming a fist-sized Air Bullet that struck the male ninja squarely on the head.
With a smack, the young ninja's mind went blank. His vision darkened, his ears rang, and he immediately passed out.
"Firefly Star!" The young female ninja beside him cried out, grief appearing on her face. "I'll fight you to the death!"
Pink Chakra light erupted from the young female ninja's body, forming a strange Chakra beast. "Mysterious Peacock Method—Peacock Feathers..."
Smack! Another sharp crack rang out. This time, Toguro might have put a little more force into it. The Chakra Shield formed by the Mysterious Peacock Method shattered instantly, and blood flowed from the female ninja's seven orifices as she collapsed to the ground.
"Meaningless resistance." Toguro's expression did not change as he coldly spoke, then continued toward the room where the Star was stored.
After entering the storage room, he saw a claw-like pedestal in the center of the room. Resting atop it was a strange meteorite filled with purple energy.
