Maigo
D-rank
Maigo walked through the halls of the Kirigakure no Sato administration building, his mind in a bit of a fritz, a mischievous thought on his mind. Word had spread around the campfire, not even campfire of the entrance of a few ninja from Iwagakure no Sato into the village. One of them also rumored to be the Tsuchikage, no doubt an esteemed ninja, but Maigo wanted to see him for himself. Confirm a few things through him if possible, involving the world and ideology if he would have the time to deal with Maigo or care for that. After all, Maigo was just a Kirigakure ninja, and only a special jounin at that. Besides! The rumors of other jounin on guard duty were hardly a viable source of information... half the time they were around would be spent on gossip and complaining of their wives and families. Maigo needed something more than guard duty, he couldn't connect with those conversations, he was still just a kid in their eyes.
But then again, would the leader of a great ninja village see him any differently? Hopefully he wouldn't have heard his name in the chuunin exams or anything like that, given he was a rather apathetic name to have heard and didn't make much of a splash outside making it to the tournament. No, he wasn't even a seven swordsmen yet or the worlds foremost expert on genjutsu like he planned out to be! So why would he be seeking out the Tsuchikage? When his interactions with his own Mizukage would be little to none and far weighted heavily towards the none side of the spectrum. Well, there was an answer there but not for the mind of Maigo, he'd already made up his mind to try and find him, wherever he might be.
Maigo approached the secretaries desk of the administration building, an old tease of his still working the desk, a sly idea ran into his mind to turn his suave on and find out what he could from the gorgeous blonde behind the desk. "Hey there..." Maigo would say as he approached and leaned into the desk using his elbow to support himself, "I've heard a rumor about the village, and I think you're the only one who can help me..." he led on with a smile. Her face blushed a bit as she thought it through but quickly turned sour.
"Wait a minute! Don't you have a girlfriend already?" she nearly shouted as she could hardly contain herself, half in anger and worry and the other half in anticipation. Maigo had a quick lapse in judgement where he would say no and get what he wanted from her then take off to deal with that entire situation another time, but truth be told, he didn't even remember her name. There was no way he'd be able to play that one off for long...
"Yeah, I do..." his face dropped to a normal tone and he stood up and away from the counter, crossing his arms behind his head and holding himself like he were laying on a bed. "But that has nothing to do with this. What'd you think I meant?" he added on trying to save face a bit. He was so shameless when it came to pretty women, hell, even Aizou gave him enough trouble as it was and he made it no easy task for the two of them to be around each other.
The woman's blush went away, her tone dropped as she slide back against her chair a bit, a sigh as she spoke, "Nothing Maigo... what is it today? Can't find your sensei again or something?" her tone seemed almost immediately annoyed with his presence. He mused over his thoughts slightly, he had been annoying them a lot lately but this time it was a serious matter, or more serious? Well, this was more serious than some of the things and less serious than others. Which pretty much adds nothing to his thought process in the end... Snapping out of it he chimed in, "No no, and I don't always lose Dameon-sensei! He just tends to disappear..." he added with a soft chuckle to the end of it, another pause as he continued to think it over.
"Maigo! What is it that you want?!" her tone had gone from subtly annoyed to full blown annoyed. It was obvious that she had neither the time nor patience to be annoyed today. "Oh, right..." he said and scratched the side of his face lightly, "Well, there's a rumor going around that the Tsuchikage is in town! And I want to find him..." he said with another shameless smile on his face. The woman sighed with a heavy exhale and face-palmed herself lightly and rubbed her forehead at the same time. "Maigo, what do you want with the Tsuchikage... not that he's even here or anything."
He mused over that for a second, briefly humming to himself, "Well... that's not your business! I just have something I want to talk and ask him about, some things I'd like to confirm." he said with as genuine a smile as he could provide. She shook her head and exhaled sharply in disapproval, "Listen Maigo, you shouldn't go get involved with people like him. He's very powerful and your stupidity might upset him, and get you killed! You'd be better off just going to the library or whatever." she said a bit smugly. Maigo narrowed his eyebrows a bit and raised one, questioning her decision to try and lecture him. He already made up his mind! Had he not? She should have known better by now...
"Come on, you gotta know something, right? Where his hotel is, does he have a meeting with Lady Mizukage? Anything at all?" he asked putting his elbows back on the desk to support himself and asking with inquisitive and hopeful eyes. "No! Maigo, I don't know anything and if I did, I'd only tell you if you needed to know!" she retorted and waved at him, shooing him away. "Now, go do something productive! Stop wasting your time, and more importantly, my time!" she went back to the papers at her desk and evened them out by tapping them on her desk. Maigo sighed and stepped back from the desk, "Fine! You're no help, Mitsumi?" he said as he squinted his eyebrows hoping he guessed her name correctly.
She grunted angrily, "Do you not know my name?! It's Masumi!!" she yelled and tossed a pencil at him. Maigo ducked while laughing to himself, the pencil lazily hit his side as he walked away, no doubt he was certainly going to be in trouble for sometime on that one. He sighed as he made his way away from the desk though, wondering to himself, If I were the Tsuchikage and visiting the village, where would I be? he whispered to himself quietly as he walked through the lobby to wherever his next destination might be...
