Maikeru walked through the less wealthy parts of Iwagakure. Most of the buildings were boarded up and condemned. He decided to do a little but of patrolling to pass the time. He was in a powerful state of boredom. When he joined the Iwagakure ranks he thought that there would be more excitement in the mix. Yet, that was less than the case at the moment. He needed something to do, something exciting and adventurous. His mind drifted in and out of different topics. Chickens. Birds. Sky. Sun. Outer space. Maikeru was feeling unproductive. He started to plan in his mind.

He thought about asking Karumo to see if he is able to go to Kirigakure. Lots of ninja are there who appeare to be strong enough to put up a fight. Though, things might have changed. It has been a while since he had ever been there. And he's been hearing Konohagakure have been increasing in strength. Going there would be fun. If other nations won't see this sudden increase in power as a threat. Though, to his mind, War could be an interesting thing. He had never fought in a war before. Even between the smaller nations. He figured it would be bad for business, taking sides. If he fought against a whole nation, that would be a whole nation of potential clients lost. But he was exclusive to a nation now (technically). He will now have to refrain from bribes from other people or organizations. At least only the ones who need him to launch actions against whole nations. It's no longer about the clients. It's about the safety of Iwagakure. A while ago he would have laughed and mocked the idea of him ever joining a village. Yet here he was, bearing a uniform.

Maikeru realised how off topic his mind has been getting. Back to the initial thought: he was bored out of his mind. What could he do besides pass the time? It's the whole reason why he was in the slums, he expected to see desperation and crime. All it had was condemned buildings and desertion. Peered at one of the tallest abandoned buildings. It seemed to be an old hotel. "Since I have nothing to do at this point, time for some urban exploration." Maikeru kicked in the border window. He was somewhat excited what he might find.

The place was trashed from the inside. Lots of thrown around paper, broken pieces of glass, and server cracks and holes in the wall. "Hmm. This place could be a good hideout." Maikeru looked on some old pictures that were behind the front desk. One photo in particular, had all of what appeared to be the staff members. Maikeru threw the photo back on the floor, and hopped over the desk. He walked to the elevator. He prayed it open and looked inside. The elevator was gone, holding only an empty shaft. He decided to use the states. As he walked upward, he was often caught off guard by sudden giveaways in the stairs. He reached the top floor. It had evidents of being the nicer suit. The rooms were bigger and the chipped, fading, cracked paint was gold. He punched in the window. Getting a view of Iwagakure. Even though the place was far from livable, he did find the view, at least, to be serene.
