Maikumaru
A-rank
Returning to his village had always satisfied Maikumaru. It had been a while since he had been actually in the village. He had spent most of the time outside of it, fending off meer fodder of bandits left in right. He looked around, looking at the buildings made of the very Earth itself, colored to resemble ordinary buildings. He smiled a small smile. “Man, it’s good to be home.” He looked up at the tall clock tower within the village. He remembered how much he loved going inside, reading a novel for entertainment.
Snapping back to reality, he had almost forgot why he came back. “Right. Meeting.” Before going into the Kage office, where the current Daimyo resided, he looked at himself in the current a window. Even though he himself didn’t put a lot of effort into his physical appearance, he however this was an occasion to make himself look a bit less rugged and unkempt than he normally did.
He took a sigh of relief. He as nervous. The last time his heart pumped so much was when he was at the bottom of the mountain, waiting ready to meet with the Overseer for the first assassination mission. He slapped himself repeatedly across the face, straightening your nerves. He thought about what he was doing and where this was going. He was really asking the Jounin Council for him to become the Tsuchikage. It was a tall order. He was gaining the attention of people around him. Many of the people actually knew who he was. He wasn't a famous Ninja who publicly created a grand feat. Not a feat he anyone would know of anyway. He felt the confidence within himself drain. Just like at the bottom of the mountain, success was within reach. Success was in his grasp. And just as before, he was hesitating to take it.
Unconsciously he had walked onto the steps of the building. Sanroku hadn't arrived yet. Maikumaru decided to wait near the steps near him. He felt himself gain a hold of his senses. His resolve took over. With Sanroku with him, success was only imminent. He just had to remind himself how dire the situation was. He took out another cigarette, and lit it. He stuck the stick in his mouth, waiting for his companion.
