Maikumaru let the wind flow through his face and hair, at ease with the cool calming breeze. Dawn was breaking in the sky. The sun was just about to rise, within less than thirty minutes to emit its rays upon the world. Maikumaru was looking for someone. And his search had led him here. He had came back to Kirigakure in search of someone. Specifically a Missing Ninja. And this time, he wasn't hunting him as he usually did. He had his plan set. His plan to launch against the monster. An enemy. The Village of the Clouds. A monster. And he was going to enter the Belly of the Beast. The driver of the boat had an eerie feeling. It was apparent. “You know what's around this island don't you?”

“I have a feeling I might.”

“They call him the Wild Man. Been recent attacks. Some go in and don't come out. If you gonna go looking for him, better have a Death Wish.”

Maikumaru ignored his warnings. He had a hunch that the Missing Ninja, Burritsu, was the Wild Man in the Forest Island. He was going through the Bingo Book and a certain Kirigakure Nuke Nin caught his eye. If it had been a year ago, he would have done everything in his power to track him down and make sure he was captured and brought to Justice. But things are different, and Maik had a shortage of allies at the moment. He had contacted a small village in The Land of Lightning. They despised Hastur. But their loathing was secret to the world. Except to Maikumaru. He had met someone in a bar who was ranting about Hastur in a drunkard state. His lips were loose, but Maik's ears listened tightly. He had explained that his entire village hated Hastur, and that Kumogakure would come and use inscription to take their villagers to aid Hastur and his army. After the man had passed out, Maikumaru helped him to a hotel, where he gave the man his proposed plan. It didn't take long for HIM to be on on board. Maikumaru had established the man as his contact between him and his village. And after back and forth messages, it was confirmed that, as much as they share no friendship towards Hastur, but they couldn't risk their own like that. Which was fine by Maikumaru. He could infiltrate Kumogakure under the guise of being a member of their village. Him and other allies he could potentially recruit to the cause.

Maikeru arrived to the island. It was primarily woodlands. And he noticed how peaceful and quiet it was, the moisture of the nist. It was serene. Smaller animals scattered about. Nothing too dangerous. Maikumaru walked around the forest carefully. He looked all around him, questioning if this was a good idea. But he reminded himself what he was here for and what he needed to do.

“Is anyone here?”

The sun destroyed the darkness of the sky spreading the light across the sky turning it from black to a low pitch orange color it was a beautiful sight to watch the stars slowly blend in with the light. Burittsu himself sported a full skin tight black bodysuit covering half of his face only revealing his eyes as it stretched down to his ankles he sported regular shinobi footwear. His dark blue eyes matched that of his hair as it danced back and forth as the breeze hit his body the island was quiet and peaceful well it was until shinobi or wandering idiots decided to take a chance and set foot on the island. Sitting on a branch in the forest having a clear view and sight the horizon the island did have its creatures around and about but the chain of dominance was already set in place once he walked on the island. He didn’t need to kill any just simply wound the beast’s that walked the land to them he was the highest there was no such reason for them to try to challenge the alpha but every so often shinobi would dare step on the island and get mauled or bearly live to return.

Burittsu simply watched the creatures do what mother nature allows he himself never had to raise a finger the only thing on his mind was how was going to show his face to the others that actually knew him before he decided to go down his own path. Life itself for the shinobi was crazy enough at least the Mizukage herself took him into account the man only wanted to mind his business until it was time for him to reveal himself to the public and former comrades. Things were indeed going smoothly until the sound of a voice disturbed the peace a voice that asked a question but the answer would not come forth he only hoped mother nature would take her course and attempt to be rid of this stanger.

“If the stranger may proceed through the forest and live he shall find the prize that he is looking for.. Bold calling out into the wild if he lives I will listen..”

Minding his own business as he turned his head slightly to hear from the direction its coming from only allowed the man to think over and over why did people actually look for him he was home. He minded his own business yet people seemed to be attracted to him as if his hard was hard enough if he did kill this man he would completely give up his reason for returning home and be on the run again. This time he would doubt he would make it out in one piece everyone was probably on their guard waiting for him to slip up once more but for now his goal was to play it silent. Anyone else that would attempt to throw him off would have to be ignored for now till he could get on the good side of at least a couple more of his comrades for now the man would have to wonder what did the one actually want of him. Scratching the back of his head he set his focus back on the horizon as the sun continued to take over the sky shining down on the darkness that filled the land. As the ray of light touched on his skin he could only think the possibilities of his future how strong did he have to be in order to reach his goal as for the stranger if he wanted to find him he would have to simply to go on a expedition.

Maikumaru looked around the forest. No answer. He continued to walk, forward. The dense wet msit continued to attach itself to his face. It was odd. It was thick enough for him to be able to feel it but light enough for him to clearly see the forest. The Land of Water was such an odd country. He listened to the sounds of the forest. They were small animals here and there, but nothing dangerous. The trees were tall and mighty. The grass beneath his feet feet felt slippery and wet. Maikeru wouldn’t have to look too far. He activated his Gaia’s Eyes Jutsu to sense the area’s vibration around him, feeling the earth at a supernatural level. Mentally scanning the area, he saw a few animals, as to be expected. But he also saw a man sitting in a tree. From the pictures in the bingo book, that was him. But he also was being watched by others that peered at him from other trees. Maikeru noticed that the one he was looking for wasn’t interested in him too much. But the others very much were stalking him. There were three of them. He turned his head into their direction if looking at them.

They noticed. They knew that their games were done. They jumped from the tree. Maik kept his Gaia’s Eye’s on, making sure they weren’t hiding anything. Which they were, but it was common practice in the land of shinobi. “So...any reason you three are following me?” Maikeru looked down on them. Literally. He was taller than most shinobi. But they didn’t seem to be intimidated by the height. “Yeah. Why the hell are you here?”

“I am looking for the one called Burritsu. A missing ninja from Kirigakure.”

“No you aren’t. You are going to turn your ass right around, and get lost.”

“Why?”

“We are the ones who are collecting that bounty. Not you...not anyone else. Got that?”

“Maikeru grabbed the man by the shirt and lifted him in the air. He threw him to one of his companions, knocking them both down viciously. He needed to get these men out of the way, and dispatch them. They were a threat to his operation, to his master plan. The plan that was built on the very thing he was entrusted to. And he would be damned to hell if he was going to let anyone hinder his progress. One of them tried to attack Maikumaru. But he simply pushed him into a tree. He yielded his fist back, and launched it into him. The Landmine fist broke the young man through the tree, and farther back. “I’m not going to let any of you get in my way. Do you understand me? ANY OF YOU!?” Maikeru took out a Kunai, and shoved it in the leg of one of the men who were getting up. He grabbed one of them and lifted them into the air in a military press position. He gave a mighty, powerful, and angry roar, and began to bring him down on his knee. Before impact was reached, rock grew on his knee in the form of a wedge made of stone. And when the man’s back would be met wit the stone, he screamed a blood curdling scream, before Maikeru rolled him off. Two dispatched. One left. He cracked his knuckles and approached him.
