Although the incoming explosion wasn't exactly expected, any one man present at the derelict building could tell something wasn't right which was exactly why Ieyasu went into the building with his hands together ready to make a hand seal at a moment's notice. Obviously there was no way Ieyasu could know of the timer that had been set off, he could quickly tell that something wasn't right as the sounds became more and more apparent. An empty building that sounded like a full inn? Not likely. Yet, by the time he picked up on this it was already too late.

Everything in front of him lit up in a blaze and simultaneously the floor under him ripped apart within a microsecond as the building was blown to pieces. While Ieyasu already had incredible durability and could likely survive this ont hat alone, he would've most likely taken too much damage from resulting shrapnel and pressure-related injuries that would've put him down for the count. However, there was one powerful jutsu that he often referred to given its versatile powers. Earth Spear.

Ieyasu was rather familiar with both this jutsu and the similarly basic Akimichi techniques that required little to no hand seals at all. It should stand to reason given his proficient hand seals and experiences from before should be enough to allow him to use this technique on mental command and with such proficiency in ninjutsu he shouldn't have had any issue covering himself. AS soon as the building blew up, Ieyasu would've used Earth Spear on this mental command and his skin turning pitch before being enveloped by the flames around him.

From there, he would've been thrown out of the building by the force of the explosion, barrelling into the ground as his clothes were on fire. Ieyasu stayed on the ground, rolling until the fire was put out and only then letting down his impenetrable defense. He'd stand up and quickly take off his ruined jacket while muttering.

"Damn it, I hate when this shit happens."

Ieyasu turned to Asher mentioning something about mercenary work. It was something to seriously consider even if it were off topic, Ieyasu had to keep making money somehow even if he had constant shelter from being around Gouda and friends. There were plans for the future that he needed those kinds of resources for.

"Well, let's talk about it when we head back to Kusa. I doubt the killer was around here because of that trap waiting for us. We should try to join back up with Keru and Yuudai since they're probably on the real trail. Let's head out!"

There was no time to waste, Ieyasu turned around and began to sprint back down from where they came from.

"Asher, if you know any shortcuts back to them, I'll let you take lead and we can take them so we don't take so long trying to find the two."

If Asher did have anything that would help with that, then like Ieyasu said he'd follow behind as they made leeway to Keru and Yuudai's trail.
