Chapter 46 After the Fight

Konoha.

Death Forest.

"Is it alright to let them go?"

Seeing the Sand Genin leaving with the injured Gaara, Shikamaru asked, looking at Gojo.

He has seen how cruelly Gaara killed those three Rain Shinobi; letting such a guy live would only bring a disaster.

"If I can defeat him once, then I can naturally defeat him twice!!"

Gojo said with the same confident expression as ever.

Hearing his words, Shikamaru didn't say anything anymore as he knew with that strength of Gojo, defeating Gaara again would be not that difficult.

"Satoru Kun~ what with your eyes?"

The focus of Ino was still on the shining blue eyes of Gojo as they really attracted her, making her curious.

Hearing her question, even Shikamaru looked at Gojo curiously.

He knows from the Clan's document about the Sharingan and Byakugan, but the blue eyes of Gojo, he never read anything about them.

"I guess there is no point in hiding; they would know it eventually after all"

"These eyes are called "Rikugan," just like the Sharingan of Uchiha Clan and Byakugan of the Hyuga Clan"

"My eyes have their own unique Doujutsu, but to know what it is, you still have to wait"

Gojo told them the name of his eyes but didn't tell them it's abilities as it required a grand stage and audience to applause.

"Rikugan, huh"

Both Shikamaru and Ino repeated the name as it was itched deep in their minds.

"Well~ It's time for me to leave, here's a present for you"

Gojo decided to go back to the tower to eat more sweets as he couldn't sense anything worth his time in the whole forest anymore.

But before leaving, he took out an earth scroll, threw it towards Ino, and disappeared the next moment.

Gojo knew when he was talking with the tail beast, She had tried to protect him, although nothing would have happened to him, her actions deserved a reward.

"Whoa!! It's an earth scroll"

Ino hurriedly caught the earth scroll, and after seeing it was the scroll they needed, she was ecstatic.

"All that danger… finally something worth rejoicing"

Shikamaru nearly shed tears of joy.

He nearly died today, but at least he got something in return, making the long day slightly better.

"I wonder why Satoru Kun gave it to us… did my sexiness bewitch him?"

On the other hand, Ino had sweet dreams; it was most likely that her sex appeal might have worked on Gojo.

"Women… what a drag…"

Seeing the nympho Ino, Shikamaru once again heaved a deep sigh and wondered why his dad married such an unpredictable creature.

-------------------

On the top floor of the tower,

"Bastard!!, what just happened? Where did the scroll with dumplings go?"

Anko, who finally reached the tower, went straight to her private room to rest but seeing the scroll sealing the dumplings missing, she went mad.

Just outside the death forest, she was robbed, and when she wanted to go to the death forest tower, she was reported about two corpses with no faces.

She knew immediately who was behind it, so she searched the whole forest thoroughly but still couldn't find Orochimaru.

Finally, with no success, Anko returned to the tower to rest for a while, but the missing dumpling scroll riled her even more.

Munch…

"Hey~ will you keep it down?"

When Anko was about to have a mental breakdown, she suddenly heard munch sounds from behind, followed by a teasing voice.

She immediately looked back, and on the sofa that was empty just a few moments ago, a figure with white hair and a blindfold was sitting; in his hands were the missing dumplings.

"You… what are you doing here…?"

Seeing the guy who robbed her outside the forest, Anko was shocked.

Only half a day has passed since the start of the exam, and someone could reach the tower so easily.

"Hmm~ what's with the shocked face? If someone like you can reach this place, why can't I?"

Gojo took out another dumpling stick from the scroll, and while eating, he replied to Anko causally not caring for the emotional damage his words brought to Anko.

Hearing his words, Anko felt a bit angry but suddenly remembered the terrifying feeling outside the forest and how he had toyed with her.

Now that she thinks about it, someone who can scare her with just his aura, if he can't even reach the tower, won't it be too pathetic.

"Don't eat all by yourself"

Thinking this way, the shock and anger in the heart of Anko disappeared as she sat beside him on the sofa and demanded the dumplings.

"Did you fight anyone earlier… someone strong?"

The scroll had enough for Gojo to eat for a few days, so he didn't mind sharing it with her, while eating Anko looked at him and asked curiously.

She saw a massive pit of hundreds of meters earlier, proving a big fight had occurred there.

Only a fight between strong guys can cause such destruction.

"Oh~ I did fight a woman with a "Real Longue Tongue"; she was somewhat strong"

Hearing her question, Gojo replied casually, his last attack that disintegrated the snake woman was strong; it was hard not to be noticed.
