toji was abused and mistreated by the Zenin clan just because he didn't have any curse energy, buy even with that he was incredibly strong with his heavenly restriction and all

toji finally had enough of the abuse from the Zenin clan and just decided to leave the clan

he didn't have anywhere else to go, so he just left wandering around the streets and doing odd jobs just to get by

One day, he was walking around the streets trying to look for another job so he can buy some food

while he was walking he suddenly felt someone bump behind him and he got slightly annoyed and turned around "hey! watch whe-" he stopped when he saw you, you looked so small compared to him which made him stop

you look up at him and started stuttering a little bit "I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bump into you" you said and he just felt kinda bad

"hey, it's alright. it happens to the best of us" he said and he felt kinda self conscious since he was wearing old and kinda dirty clothes since he didn't have enough money to buy new ones and not to mention he was hungry

he started walking away when you called out to him and try to catch up with him
