Given the general causal atmosphere of the situation, I probably should have given Kito a bit of give when he decided to laugh at my nickname and gave me a shortened and demeaning replacement (the same one Choprot taunted me with). With me and the kid assassin trading battle stories, the blond wino behind me ordered some dangerous concoction the waitress had refereed to as a "whirlpool", and all around us was breathtaking scenery of a vacation in tropical heaven, I should have just brushed it off and laughed with him. But I bristled instead, indignant that something that held significant is my world was a joke here. My frown threatened to bisect my lower jaw from the rest of my face, and I could feel the metaphorical storm cloud raging over my head. It was a quick pout, as it was only going to make me look like an ingrate and a jackass if I got pissy over a name. I regained my composure and shrugged it off, both specially and otherwise. Although If the other guy called me that, I'd deck him.
"Yeah, sure, why not?" I answered, taking a gulp of beer as the ninja laughed. At the very least, it felt good to see someone finally laugh since I've gotten here, even if it was at my expense. "Well, Kito, it seems like you have yourself situated. Better than most, probably. This Tsunade seems like she has your back, if that note is anything to go by" It was less of a deduction and more like a reasonable guess. It was either from Tsunade or some middleman for her. Or it was a sudden secret admirer, in which case it was a good idea to keep an eye on him to be on the safe side
As for my weapons, I gave my own chuckle and brightened up "Force of habit, I guess. Force of paranoia, more like. I've found that peace is temporary and fleeting. If a fraction of what it's like back home is how it is here, then you can't be too careful Of course, I also got a kick that he would ask me that while he had a sword around his back "And you're one to talk. Just because your stuff isn't as big, doesn't make it any less deadly. Certainly a ninja would have plenty of tricks up their sleeve, mystical BS or not"
Blondy then choose to speak up, giving a philosophical spin to the conversation. The fact that he mentioned 'wizards', when neither Kito or I had said anything about them, gave me the impression he was also travel experienced. Either he was also a prime, or adventuring was just the bog standard career choice around here. That and beach bum.
"The reason is that Omni is an asshole, the kind of mean kid that enjoys flipped turtles over to see if they can get back up" I would know, I was that kid. "If there is some grander reason, I don't care to be a part of it. Once I find to him, he's either sending me home or he's going to be scooping his brain off the floor with a ladle
