Totally Legal [Requesting Entry]

[Midori Futotta]

Since the last two, three counting the one where he tried to break into clouds wasn't successful. He believed that this time he might would be let in since as of this moment he wasn't Maru, right now he carried the new identity of Yamaru Yamamoto of the stone village with a good enough passport to use to slip right in. So why come back here right away if he could just travel someplace else to hang around, well what kept having him come back was possibility because he knew Kaori was around plus that Umashi guy was in the same clan so he might as well stick around longer, after all Kaori was probably expecting him to just pop up around here and it's best not to disappoint.

Maru was now donning a new mask, mostly for casual wear when he is not doing his ‘work.’ His new mask he was wearing is a black and white mask with a small star design placed under each eye hole which covered his scar he received when he was burnt alive by spiritual fire. Of course, he hoped that news of his death would spread to konoha if it hasn't already which would be pretty cool to get them off his tail. But still, he needed to keep his distance from konoha and also to keep up the act of being a High Jonin status for a bit. So now, he's making yet another attempt at the gates.

Was it a dream? Uri didn’t think so. It was strange to find someone wishing to enter the gates while wearing a mask. This sort of reminded him of that masked goofball that had been causing trouble lately, though as far as he could remember, that guy had been apprehended and expected actions were taken regarding him. Still, it was not to say that this new masked person was any different. What is it with people and masks anyway? Not like he was one to ask as he was donning his anbu mask this time around.

Dropping from the top railing of the gate, Uri landed squarely on the ground in front of the traveler. He was in his black long and only his red oni mask colored his presence. As customary, he gave the man a look over in silence before taking a step forward and the reaching out a hand. “Please present your passport, state your name, where you come from and your purpose,” he said almost in a mechanical tone, before he went back to silence and waited. Despite the mask, Uri was very much aware of this person’s chakra pulse and was ready to jump into when necessary.

While Maru walked to the gates, he was greeted with a new ANBU at the gates who landed right in front of him, he wasn't too worried because after all he did have a passport and a great story. Adjusting his mask, Maru smirked trying to put on a friendly act. Those years in puppetry would most likely pay off at the moment. “Greetings Mr.Demon mask, if you want my name I go by Yamamoto Yamaru of Iwagakure. As for my purposes I'm here to visit my cousin around here, a person named Yamamoto Musashi.” Maru said, beginning his tale. “You see, he sent me a letter back in the ol’ stoner village that he was around here and I wanted to catch up with him.” He went into his large duffel bag, digging inside of it to pull out his passport first to hand it to the masked man which would read.

Yamamoto Yamaru
~High Jounin~​

DoB: XX / YY / ZZZZ
Village: Iwagakure
Height: 5’7 ft

​

</B>***If found, please return to either Iwagakure or Konohagakure to the attention of Umashiashikabihikoji.***<i></i>​

Then he pulled out another slip of paper that had the address of Yamamoto Musashi before rezipping his bag to let the man check his legit passport. <B>“By any chance you guys sell those kinds of mask around, haven't had one that could alter your voice and it would be cool to have one like yours.” He said, poking his own mask that seemed pretty much for style clearly having a thing for masks as a sort of style rather than hiding his identity.

 

[Kiri]

Uri raised a brow, though it wouldn’t be seen through the mask. He still did. The man before him was very suspicious. How jovial. How easy-going. And looking at the passport… how fake. Well, that was Uri’s personal opinion but he could very well tell that the make of the passport was real. Still, going by recent experience, and he had one encounter of such a strange identification even though it involved an authorized passport, this was becoming a trend for people trying to get in. It was worrisome. Just how many strangers was Kumogakure about to receive, let alone be afforded to pass a blind eye on. This masked man would not be one of those.

“Interesting,” said Uri as he held the passport and letter. The names were heard of. It wasn’t a normal name, after all, regarding the Yamamoto clan as something of importance. Yet, there was something just off. Was it the mask throwing him off? “Please elaborate further,” he kept a steady gaze through the mask, studying every feature of the man. “And I do mean to explain with details. It’s a bit dangerous to casually say you’re rendezvousing with someone in the village after having been told about it in a different village. Almost sounds like a conspiracy at work. Tell me, who exactly is this Yamamoto Musashi as well, why would he be here, and why would he ask you to come to this village just for a chat.”

Uri crossed his arms even as he held the documents. “Oh, and if you really want a mask like this, you’ll have to undergo some extreme tests, starting with taking off your clothes and braving the frigid temperatures of the mountains. It’s part of the test of endurance and will, so to speak… also a test to see if you embarrass easily when you walk around to do some errands while at it. Maybe you’re here to take such a test?”

 

[Midori Futotta]

Well, of course there would he more questions to follow since there was another masked stranger who swung by here which would make the man a bit suspicious. Lucky for him, he could come up with something based on the things that he already knew about Umashi already. The guy did teach him at one point and he did give him a cool new weapon so he could figure something out. The man wanted more details whom he was trying to visit in which he was more than happy to tell him. “Weeeeeeeeeell… besides the fact that I'm related to him, he's actually the founder of Yamamoto and a old teacher of mine. You might know him around here because he's a pretty skilled sage and his ideas for weapons are pretty great. I'm a pretty skilled weapon creator myself, but it was nice to bounce off some of his ideas every now and then.” Maru explained before continuing. “As for how do I know he's here, well his masked Tsukumogami, Gin, came to Iwagakure and pretty much invited me to come here. Said that he was around here and he has some special assignment for me to handle. Probably more research on creating effective weapons or what not. Nothing too big.”

Back on the subject on how would he go about getting a mask like his, what the man said was kinda…. odd. So in order to get a cool voice changer mask, he had to walk around in… in the cold… with these sharp ass rocks… in the nude while having to do some errands?! Better than the dog chasing exams he took but still is that really a thing here. “So you're telling me in order to get a mask like that, you have to do that as an exam? I mean I don't know much about clouds customs but surely you gotta be pulling my leg on that one.” he actually had no way of knowing if this test was real or if it was fake so he didn't ask for more information on the subject but had to ask. Knowing his luck this special test was specifically for him, but then again…. He might would be taking this exam with some nice looking girls, it was also something to consider but he probably wasn't gonna be that lucky.

 

[Kiri]

“I’ll have to confirm that, since it’s protocol and really, a rendezvous in the village sounds rather suspicious no matter how you want it to be a family reunion or whatever,” said Uri as his chakra pulse would surge out from him and then manipulate itself into forming a shape. Ultimately, it would form a spectre shade, a shadowy clone of humanoid shape. Then, in haste, it dash back inside the gates. “I’ll have someone come to confirm your story, however. It would be rude to simply kick you out. You do have a passport after all. The only problem is the lack of verification for your purpose. I apologize for that.”

It shouldn’t take long for the call, but in the mean time, Uri decided to amuse the masked fellow while they waited. “Oh and well, there’s more to the test, you know. I remember something about hunting for skywhales, jumping and getting eaten. Staying alive for years inside the belly and return alive. That would be most impressive to show your survival abilities. What about in Stone? Don’t you have means of testing your shinobis that these anecdotes sound so trivial or crazy?”

[Requesting Main Branch Sennin to come and verify the masked man’s tale]

 

[Kagetsu Yuii]

As luck would have it, said Main Branch Sennin was close at hand when the call came through about a mystery traveller. Yuii wasn't one for gate duty these days, but a scheduling mistake had turned into fisticuffs amongst a pair of hit headed Chuunin, and she had been called to put the proverbial fire out. The literal fire had been handled by a go-getter genin with water jutsu and earned him a gold star after she'd finished dressing-down the hot-tempered pair. She hoped they enjoyed six months of escorting Takaki Saeko on her tour of the worst hell holes of Lightning Country.

Hopefully, this next issue would be handled as easily as she didn't have much patience these days.

Without flash or bang, Yuii simply appeared behind Uri as if his shadow had been a mortal to another earthly plane. She matched the imposing gates and bleak landscape in her varied shades of grey knit turtleneck, form-fitting pants and long scarf pulled up against the cold. Her dress only highlighted the vividness of her own colouring; untamed short aqua blue hair, large blue eyes and pink dusted ghost white skin which had gained her notoriety. No gear or weapons were to be seen except for the headset radio attached to her right ear.

The Sennin appeared noticeably tired as she moved to join them, for reasons that Uri knew. Every shinobi in Kumogakure who paid even remote attention knew. In a glance, he could feel her judging the situation and grading it to be unworthy of her precious time.

"Good afternoon," she greeted insipidly, nodding at the masked kid. She studied him a then turned to Uri for an explanation, "What is this about, Anbu?"

 

[Midori Futotta]

Well, although his passport as pretty valid the masked man was still kinda suspicious of his story. Perhaps he didn't believe that Musashi existed or he doubted that he knew the person, he could slightly understand why the man wouldn't take his word for it. Afterall, he was known to not look that trustworthy when it comes to meeting people plus he still had a little bit of demon in him so naturally it would be a lot harder to gain people's trust. “I see, well in that case I'm sure whoever you call would straighten this whole thing out.” he said, setting his duffle bag down so he could wait around for whoever to arrive. It probably would be a little easier if the man would simply call Musashi to confirm his story, but guess it just wasn't this mans place to call him so he got someone that probably could.

After a moment if waiting, the man began to make small talk on other exams they have. Namely one about getting eaten by some skywhale then living inside of its belly and returning alive which was an interesting way to put someone to test someone. Maru could remember a couple of exams that he took so he decided to share a couple. “Well there are a couple of exams that I could think of that seemed pretty crazy, like there was this one exam where I had to stick my hand in some HUGE dogs mouth. Like the dog was like 14 feet tall! I guess it was to test your bravery or something so I did it then it ended up biting my middle finger off and I needed to get a puppet middle finger. Hence why I have a slight dislike toward those monstrous fur balls!” He cringed, and continued. “And did I mention that you had little ankle biters trying to nip your rear while you do it. Hor-ri-ble!”

After telling the man his story on a exam that he took, the person who the masked man called arrived. He was half expecting some mean looking masked dude but instead he got a rather beautiful looking blue haired woman who greeted him, Maru couldn't help himself but to just blurt out a pickup line. “Hey gurl, I see you like the color blue because you're washing over me like a title wave!” he made his usual finger guns to look cool. “Sorry couldn't help myseld but anyway, I guess my pal here wants to confirm that Musashi Yamamoto is around here. My name is Yamaru Yamamoto by the by.”

 

[Kiri]

A small talk didn't hurt. In fact, it allowed one to get a glimpse in another's personality. He obliged the other's humor, not necessarily finding fault in it, but there was an obvious case of trying to hide something. Maybe he was shy to simply let loose in front of a stranger, a guard no less. Or maybe he was already baring out his soul. He couldn't tell just yet.

No sooner would the requested Main Branch Sennin appear. Uri had a feeling she didn't like the summon. It wasn't everyday that he got to see her. In fact, this would be the first time to see her face to face, and it made him a little anxious. Right, he needed to explain.

"This man claims to be a shinobi from Stone and a member of the Yamamoto Clan. However, his reason for coming to Cloud is to rendezvous with another Yamamoto. What is the purpose of that rendezvous is still unclear. That point is what worries me, especially at a time like this when there was an attempt of entry not too long ago. And since the gate is under the jurisdiction of the Main Branch, I don't want to pre-empt or overstep my authority in this matter." Said Uri as straight and frank as he could. "He does have the proper documents," he'd move to show her the passport. "So perhaps I'm just being paranoid to think he's hiding his true identity and finding a means to enter and cause trouble. Also, he's wearing a mask... Which makes me a little more cautious because of that other incident with a masked intruder..."

 

[Kagetsu Yuii]

Yuii stared blankly at the young masked flirting savant, "I don't like blue... My favourite colour is green." she said, glancing down at his outlandish hand movements, "And I'd recommend not making such aggressive motions in Kumogakure. Someone is liable to take that as a threat." His explanation, while noted, was not the one she wanted. Yuii turned back to Uri and waited for him to say his piece.

And so he did. Neither explanation the men offered to her were a valid reason for why Yuii had been called. The boy wanted to visit his family member, the ANBU's trouble senses were tingling. So by a leap of logic that would make a parkour master balk, they had decided to trouble the leader of the Main Branch. Uri might be crushed to know that behind the placid stare she was maintaining was frustration and rage at having her time wasted. A dark aura of anger surrounded her as she smirked and snatched the offered passport to check.

"He's probably just really, really...really really ugly. Look, he's even wearing it in his passport photo. Maybe it's grafted to his skin. Is it grafted to your skin Yamaru? Have you been wearing that thing for a decade since you got your passport?" she asked casually, scanning over the pages, holding it up to the sun, gingerly licking it. "How old are you anyway? You must take really good care of your passport. Umashikasiwhatshisname has been Hokage and disassociated from Stone for quite some time but this is in pretty great shape. Were you part of the group that travelled to Konoha and helped reestablish it?" Seemingly satisfied, she tossed the passport back to Uri then reached for her headset.

"Geez though, I wasn't aware the communication chain to city registration was broken- oh look at that, it isn't," she rattled pleasantly while fumbling with the dials until an inaudible voice hummed from the other side."Yes, I'd like the verification on the existence and status of one Musashi Yamamoto," more humming while Yuii turned to look directly at Uri's masked face, "Oh, they exist? lovely. And they're free? Perfect. Send them down to the Pass."

Hmph.

With nothing left to do but wait, Yuii refocused her attention on Mister Finger guns. "Tell me about Stone while we wait for your... what was he, brother, Mister Masky." she said in a tone that was an order, not a request "I hear they've recently put up a thirty-foot statue of their current Kage. Isn't it glow worm season?"

[Calling the mysterious mister Musashi.]

 

[Seijin]

Yikes! Musashi was called to gates and from the likes of the tone, it wasn't for a play date. While he was half tempted to ignore it and claim that he was tending to other carnal desires with his wife, there was the fact that it probably truly was a very important something or another. Sighing and putting on a decent bit of clothing, he bundled up as he prepared to face the temperatures that he was still trying to get used to. Fortunately for the folks that called him, he was in the village itself instead of back home in the northern mountains. By the time that he finally made it to the gates, he'd been alerted once more that the request was by order of the Main Branch Sennin, and that's when Musashi truly started to get afraid. If Yuii was calling him then that could only mean that something was definitely afoot, something major, and that was rather troubling in and of itself.


A few steps, a hurried look and a long and drawn out sigh. Standing with his hands in his pockets, he looked like quite the sight, an earthy skin toned man wearing a snow white fur coat ensemble. Maru . . . again? Closing his eyes and counting to ten, he willed himself to ham things up by doing the absolute most in terms of a greeting.</COLOR>

<COLOR color="grey">


Although he greeted Yuii and whoever the other guy was, equally, when it came to Maru he was a completely different person. In a cultural sense it might have been jarring, but it was somewhat-kinda-sorta how he greeted people from his part of the Fire Country. Not that he'd been back there in a long time, but, again . . . it was for the culture.

"Yamaru!?! Yoooooo, I haven't seen you in ages! What's been up my ninja?!? Why didn't you tell me you were having problems at the gates, I would have buzzed you in myself!" Smiling and embracing Yamaru in an appreciative way, he finally let go of the manly embrace and shook his head as he looked from Yuii to the other guy. Did Yuii know? She definitely should have known. Unless Ayumu didn't tell her . . . but then, Musashi imagined that all the Sennin would have been privy to that knowledge. Yeah, that was probably a problem that needed to be solved extra quickly. Quickly giving a dutiful bow, he addressed the Sennin before them. "My apologies Lady Yuii, I meant no trouble. The names Yamamoto Musashi, a pleasure to get to meet you! Yamaru is my cousin but I treat him like my brother-from-another-mother. Heck, my wife loves him like a son, but yeah . . . he's a bit of a country-bumpkin from Iwa so excuse him if he's a bit . . . off. He doesn't get out much."

A fresh smile and hopefully this could all be swept under the bridge and things solved rather quickly. Seeing the passport in the hands of the other guy though, Musashi pointed at it and questioned if it was questioned."Was there a problem with the passport? Geez!" Slapping at his forehead and making a flipping motion with his other hand he spoke up about it. "There's a hologram on it if you look at it from an angle and under a light. You can't fake it, and only the then Sennin Umashi thought to leave such a watermark. In fact, you'll find the same watermark on all the passports passed under him when he was the Hokage too. No idea what they're doing for passports now but he was meticulous about the details during his reign." Nodding he continued to think quickly on his feet so that there'd be no continued problems.

[Midori Futotta]

'Finger guns are a…. aggressive motion?’ He thought to himself, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly. “Sorry about that, was taught that it was a gesture to look cool, not to threaten people.” he said, letting the ANBU explain the reasoning for her being called. She seemed to be somewhat upset although the Senin acted pretty cool as she checked his passport before making the comment that he was probably really, really...really really ugly which was probably why he wore the mask to begin with. Although the burn wound on his face was pretty nasty, he didn't think it was THAT bad to deserve four really’s. “No, I kinda have a nasty looking burn wound on my face that I got when I was sparring with some guy who used some weird spiritual fire on me. Been wearing a mask ever since, plus it makes me look like a masked hero like in manga.” Which was indeed the truth because that last fight left him a nasty looking burn wound, at times like these he wished he was still a human puppet so he could simply change his head. Plus eternal youth didn't seem half bad neither.

After examining the passport to make sure it was legit more questions followed in which he was more than happy to answer. “My age? Weeeeeeeeeeeeeelll… I would be thirtyish but I experimented with a lot of Kinjustu because I have a small fear of… getting old! Like, I was 17 for like a decade and just started aging again like a normal person if that makes sense. But I did help establish konoha! Even helped these easy going wonderful academy students, a real nice bunch too.” Another honest answer because he legit didn't know his age. Since the whole human puppet, how he messed with his own youth with his temporal puppet, and how he was once an immortal who stole life's energy from people. He didn't exactly know what his real age was but he did know that he would've been an wrinkled old man by now if it weren't for his constant rebirths.

Now that she actually called Musashi, the woman decided to make a little small talk on Stone. He didn't know much about it, but he knew a bit from what Chiyoe told him when he met with the man on a trip. He wondered what happened to that looney Uchiha, Maru shrugged then gave his answer. “He's a cousin of mine, but he acts more like a father. As for the thirty foot statute are you sure that they put one up? I'm mostly in and out of there because I'm mostly a journeyman trying to solve the worlds problems but you're telling me that they would put up a statue of our Kage even though he won't be in there long?”He folded his arms and pouted. “Hmph. We are supposed to be religious, if you are telling the truth why couldn't they put up a statue of a great god like...” before he could finish, Umashi came in to greet him. He came right on time too, playing his part to as the cool cousin who came into town.

“Ayyyye! There he is! I'm doing pretty well my ninja, didn't know you had gate duty otherwise would've asked for ya.” he said while giving Musashi a bear hug before releasing him to him tell about him. Maru acted as excited. “Oh! Speaking of your wife, how is she man. Heard you had a couple of Musashi’s running around. And have you seen Kaori around? She's been looking all over for her man.” He couldn't help but ask about Kaori. Making sure she was still around here pretty much since he saw her around the gates but didn't find her leaving yet unless he just missed her.

 

[Kiri]

Uri couldn’t help but feel as though he was being scolded rather blatantly and embarrassed without holding back. Well, considering this was probably too small a deal for the sennin to be called to, but he was sure it was only because he wanted to make sure and not make a mistake on who to bring into the village. He didn’t want to bring trouble into Kumogakure. Of course, he didn’t really voice that out, but sometimes he did wonder if his assignment in the gates a way for him to get into trouble with the main branch for things like this.

In any case, with the requested Musashi called over to clear things up, Uri hoped that this would be over with. But the more the masked man talked about his predicament, the more he couldn’t help but be suspicious. It’s like there are more questions made than answers given. He would glance between the two men and the Main Branch Sennin, trying to see from their reactions what was going on and make sense of things. Would the latter buy the story that was unfolding before them? Was this Musashi character even telling the truth? And why can’t the guy just show his face?

He sighed when he realized he was out of his element. Looking at the Sennin, he lowered his head in apology. “I apologize for making trouble. With everything seemingly in order, and if you discern his admittance to the village is acceptable, then I will now proceed to handle the document matters of it. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience.”

 

[Kagetsu Yuii]

"Oh. You have a Kinjutsu then?" Yuii sighed, already dreading the forms she knew would need to be dredged up and completed, "That could be problematic. Kumogakure's medical branch requires registration of powers classified as Kinjutsu for the safety of the village." Medical nonsense really, but if Yuii wanted to avoid being chewed out by a tiny lady man while a bunch of scantily clad nurses backed him up, she was going to have to make sure that got done.

Nothing else of what 'Yamaru said was particularly useful, though informative. Father-cousin, Journeyman, statue. And then Umashi arrived.

...

And then Umashi arrived.

...

What?

Silently she gaped at the pair of men greeting one another like the family 'Yamaru' had claimed them to be. Like nothing about this situation was out of the ordinary. Like a Hokage was supposed to be walking around in plain clothes in Kumogakure with a, now that she put it together, terrible alias. Yuii stared, and stared, becoming more frustrated by the second.

"You."[/u] she hissed, ignoring all talk about the authenticity of the passport in question. Holograms and watermarks were meaningless when the creator himself was showing them off anyway! "I'll have no more of your sick pranks. Last time was unacceptable but what kind of morbid, twisted individual orchestrates such a cruel waste of my time during such a dire time!? Can you find no better entertainment than kicking someone when they're down!? Does Kogami know about this!?"

The angry woman was referencing the cruel joke he'd played during the tournament in Tea by handing her a scalpel, of all items, which covered her in a putrid layer of slime just as the battle between her husband and the Sunan vixen had ended. She had been a literal and figurative mess when running to help her defeated husband, and Umashi was in part to blame. It had taken days to get the slime off. Yuii had half a mind to return the favour, she had the silly trinket wrapped and stashed in her pocket, but she had grown attached to it.

It didn't matter what Umashi came up with as an explanation at that point, Yuii was too angry to listen to a couple of clowns. And so, she turned to the masked AMBU whose tingly senses had started the whole matter. "These two both need to see the Raikage and explain themselves immediately because if its left to me they'll be spending six months in the Underground Prison," No way she was letting them get away with making a mockery out of her. Yamaru probably was just some cloud genin in a mask put up to all this, making the ANBU either a sucker or in on it too. She had to believe the former. "ANBU, you'll escort them direction to Raikage-sama and you have permission to end them if they so much as twitch!"

[Entry granted provisionally to go see the Raikage! Off you go!]

 

[Seijin]

Dang . . . that was messed up. On one hand, Musashi didn't want to start anything but on the same token . . . he just had to speak up. "Lady Yuii . . . you're looking as radiant as ever! More cutting to the chase of it, I'm afraid that the matter of myself and Yamaru is one of National Security and is quite literally, above this young kiddo's pay grade. It might be best if you called the honorable Lord Raikage via headset concerning me and mine or called in Okada Kaji, heck . . . walk us there yourself. Either way, I'm strongly asking that you consider my request." Or that's how the story went in his head.

He probably could have gotten away with staying what he needed to say. However that would have no doubt ended in one of those fourth wall breaking battle moderators being called, a bunch of jutsu flung, dead ANBU kiddo, possibly a dead Yuii. He really like Yuii, a dead Yuii would be a dead Musashi , and he wasn't ready to die just yet. Nodding to himself and then to Yuii, he held his hands up. "Sorry to offend you milady . . . come on Yamaru, we're off to see the Raikage, and don't do anything stupid or I'll off you myself!" Short, simple, and to the point. Musashi didn't want any trouble, and anybody who was looking to avoid trouble would certainly not make any with him today.

OOC: Topic left with Uri, Yamaru and . . . Yuii?!?

 

[Kiri]

Judging by the exchange of pleasantries, or mostly the way the Main Branch Sennin had addressed the scenario before them, even the presence of the so-called Musashi who was specifically called for to clarify the issue at hand, didn’t do so well to clear things up. From the looks of it, it only made things messy and no sooner would the Sennin order him to escort the two to the Raikage, himself, at the Torre. He gave a firm salute to the Sennin, for even if she was from a different branch, there was still the need to show respect to authority. Then, he would face the two and urge them to follow him along the path.

“As per command, please don’t think of doing anything reckless along the way. You’ll be entering the perimeter of Kumogakure, and at the moment, you’re not entirely being given access as you wished, only temporary for this moment’s sake. Rest assured, you’ll be treated nicely otherwise, and if you’re story is true, there really is no reason to fear any repercussion,”he said as they would reach the large gates.

[Topic left with Umashi and Maru… and Yuii?]

 

[Midori Futotta]

Well it would seem that everything was going well, the ANBU guy even apologizing for being quick to call her which could be understandable. However, the blue haired lady told him that he was going to have to register his Kinjustu with the medical branch which was something he didn't like nor thought was necessary. Not only he would lose his element of surprise but then he'll have to explain how the spirit of his doll (whom he found out to be alive and sitting dormant within him.) Somehow came to life and it was now a shapeshifting gun that could transform into any weapon that he could think of…. Oh and it can talk to him now, like for real talk to him. Not him having to think of what she would say but legit speak to him, although he could only hear her in his head so he hasn't actually had Kawaii communicate with other people before. “Uhhh… alright, sure. My Kinjustu now is nothing that special anyway. “

With that Umashi came and they both acted their parts… However, the woman seemingly didn't like Umashi for a prank he pulled and Maru jumped back in surprise then looked over at Umashi. Honestly he couldn't help himself but to respect the man for pulling off a prank, he thought he was just some old man who dwelled in the mountains but now he could see where him and his crew friends got their awesome personalited from. Perhaps he could get Umashi in on some crew related activities, but still the lady was not happy. Maru found himself tilting his head at the woman who was openly telling that they would be going to jail or killed just because she just didn't like Umashi. Talk about extra. “Soooo I'm gonna have to go to jail and have the threat of being killed because you just don't like my cousin?” He asked, then they were sent off to meet the kage of this village, Umashi telling him not to do anything stupid and Maru's eyes narrowed. “Well it's YOUR fault we are in this mess to begin with. Cuz." He said that last part with a bit more feeling. Fallowing him.
