"Oh great and mighty Zelel! We worship you, today! Well, we worship you every day. But today! On the day that is now, we worship you even more so! We're like, super duper worshipping you today. There is a significant amount of worship heading your way, oh Zelel. Worship, worship, worship! Hear me worship as you are really appreciated for being overall awesome and amazing!"

Toki knew that he was overselling his religious beliefs. Between his loud chanting and his ritualistic like dancing around large wax candles he knew he was creating quite the unorthodox scene. Still, such things could not be helped when trying to cause a ruckus. This village, while he loved dearly, was deeply endowed in the religion of Everdeen and the children of Nature. While Toki had no problem with that religion, he also had never met Everdeen personally, and thus had no strong feelings on her one way or another. Zelel, on the other hand, he met and had the pleasure of having her help him regain a sense of control of his life. It was for this reason that he chose to make such a large ceremony in the middle of the dojo.

Well, that was one reason to make such a ruckus. In truth, Toki's following of Zelel instructed him that the best way to praise the goddess was through constant improvement on the self. Unfortunately, the academy didn't really teach him how to properly improve oneself. He was a proud student of Saegahara academy, which was of course named after the Uzushiokage whom gave her life for her village. After reading books and learning techniques, however, Toki felt a significant lack of self-improvement. It wasn't like the school didn't help, so much as it placed him in a glass ceiling which he felt no ability to propel beyond.

That's what brought him to the arena! Arena's are designed to position ninja against each other in glorious combat. Like iron clashing against the hammer the purpose of this location was to strengthen oneself into an incredible blade of steel. Toki felt like he needed to be clashed against. He felt like he needed to draw the attention of strong ninja in order to enhance his own strength. After all, another virtue of Zelel is to gather fame in his name. Well, her name, but since most people were under the strange delusion that Zelel is a man, Toki doesn't bother correcting people about it anymore.

Toki's antics continued just as passionately and just as loudly. In the middle of the main arena stage the young man danced wildly around the candle. Halfway through the dance Toki decided to do a bit of teen pop idol dancing, which of course meant sliding his hands into his shirt to slowly and seductively unbutton it. At this point a small crowd of curious people arose, and once the dancing became more contemporary and silly the crowd grew larger. There were equal measure of people laughing both with and at Toki as this teenage boy ignored the beats of the crowd and danced to his own rhythm.

Of course, as he continued to dance, a large man appeared. This shirtless brute stood easily a foot above Toki, and his bulging muscles suggested that he had nothing fun to do except work out at Karuto's muscle mansion. "Hey kid! Get your s**t out of here. This is a place for legitimate combat. Not for fairies who like to dance around fires." He said in a gruff, masculine voice. Toki took a moment to pause as he faced the man. He then continued to dance, chanting even louder than he has before.

"Oh Zelel! Please give this man a shirt, for he cannot afford one." He chimed in his rhythmic dancing. While he partially meant it as an insult, he did wonder why this guy would just walk around shirtless. Didn't he get cold? Were his nipples not uncomfortable being bare and out? Such thoughts did make the boy look over to him and stare intently at the man's nipples. This notion was easily perceived by the crowd, which continued to laugh at the man who was already insulted by Toki, and was now further being degraded by the whimsical teenager.

"Insolent Child! Prepare to face the wrath of Grogthar; champion of the arena." The man shouted as he took a forward stance with his left foot and fist. Silence immediately fell over the crowd, which caused Toki to take notice and stop his flamboyant gestures. It was then that his eyes widened as his entire body darted to the right in order to avoid a steady stream of earthern spikes which suddenly arose from the ground he stood upon. Suddenly bets were being taken; all of them siding with Grogthar. Although Toki could only hear snippets of the conversation, he gathered that this man in front of him was some sort of legitimate fighter, and that good ole Sunny was at a disadvantage for an actual fight.

"I have to warn you mister perky nipples. If we do fight, then I can't protect your ego while keeping myself alive." Toki said with a shrug of his shoulders. Laughter erupted from the crowd, but at that moment Toki truly did not mean to incite a riot. In truth he already forgot the name of the fighter, and instead remembered him from the one detail he cared to recall; his nipples. To be fair, they were incredibly well defined nipples. Grogthar of course did not take well to this, and stomped his back foot furiously.

"I will END YOU!" He shouted. At that moment he suddenly flew into the air on top of a boulder. He then rode the boulder in an arc directly aimed to collide into Toki. The teenager looked up and analyzed the manner of which this man has struck thus far. True to his appearance, he seemed focused on making direct, flashy moves. Therefore, the best manner to defeat him was to use deceit and trickery. As the boulder came within range, Toki dragged his thumb over his arm and activated his body's seal. This caused a large puff of smoke to arise over the arena within a ten foot diameter of the two of them. Grogthar was surprised by the smoke, and even more surprised by the fact that his boulder strike did not collide with the boy. What surprised him the most, however, was that as the smoke cleared, he found himself surrounded by three explosive tags. From behind him he heard Toki smile and snap his fingers.

The three tags collided from all angles around Grogthar. The boulder beneath his feet crumbled as he then slide onto the ground. Medical ninja immediately game, and the match, as impromptu as it was, was declared in Toki's favor. The chants of praise and joy were nearly drowned out by the myriad people who expected to win easy money by watching Grogthar destroy a tiny twink. The loud groans of disapproval soured Toki, who came here to spread the good word of Zelel. "Yikes. Guess I should find somewhere else to bring her blessings to the world." Toki said with a sigh. He disappeared into a body flicker as he looked for somewhere more fun to spread the word of Zelel.
