Maru sat in the middle of the arena, a huge smug grin plastered across his plastic lips like a spreading disease. He chuckled to himself as the thought of what he just did came to his mind.
Flashback:
"There we go!” Maru was pretty satisfied after writing a huge ‘MARU WAS HERE’ in the hokage's office… in ink too. It was a good thing he didn't have to worry about Takeshi barging in before he could admire his work, breaking into the office was a piece of cake! Maru picked up the bucket of ink, splashing it on the table, then on the floor before gently setting the bucket near the desk. After successfully ruining the office of their ‘great’ leader, Maru unbuttoned his shirt to open a hatch within his wooden body to pull out a small doll dressed in a red kimono with a note which read;
=P That was for backhanding me in front of two nice looking cloudies! I'll be straightforward and say I'm not gonna report to that pansy Tamashii, green hair! Want me punished? Meet me at Kitsune Park at midnight! Bring that royal butt so I can kick it!
Love, MARU OF DARKNESS
Love, MARU OF DARKNESS
Midnight:
After laughing a bit after that memory of his open challenge to Takeshi, he looked up at the moon. Seeing ebony clouds beginning to float by as the chilly night wind blew. The dark puppet master remembered when he was a academy student, he was beaten right here in exactly four seconds. Now he was a academy student again, opening challenging Takeshi in the same place where the man defeated him when he was at his darkest and when he was weaker. However, the difference between then and now was that now he had enough power to do some damage to the Uchiha. Creator or not, friend or foe. He had been waiting for this night where he gets to battle the man again. Nee Hee Hee! Let's see if he takes the bate!"The dark puppet master snickered.
