Maikumaru
A-rank
Sweat dripped from Maikumaru’s dark skin. He wiped his brow. Boulders began to tumble at him. He clung to the mountains side, creating a strong grip that ripped into the earth, creating cracks beneath his fingers. He used his arms to swing himself further up the mountain. And straight at the boulder. With his fist, it crashed into the large rock, shattering it into pieces. He thought his experience among the mountains in Earth Country and Lightning Country would give him a leg up in this journey. But the mountains in mountain country were much more harsher than either of the two. Boulders were more frequent, and the ranges were outright ridiculous. But he powered through it with relative ease. As relative as it gets. Though he was the Tsuchikage, the council put it to him quite bluntly: he was a bit more on the weaker side than some of the Kage before him.Harichimo was known as one of the weaker Tsuchikage known to the council, while those before him, Karumo and even Tsuyo were able to achieve power beyond expectations. And so they relieved him of his paperwork for some time to focus on getting stronger. He has to be at a strong power. And he couldn't have agreed more. The Tsuchikage HAS to be able to stand against the most powerful Shinobi alive. He thought about his fight in the exhibitions of the Chunin Exams. He cringes at the thought. At his lost. His face hardened with determination. He slammed his hands into the side of the mountains, this time, his fist getting in deep enough to go up to his wrists. He opened his hands, ands slingshotted himself again, moving faster and farther up. He backhanded each of the boulders out of his path before reaching the top of the mountain. He knelt down in exhaustion. There was still much of a ways to go. He stood up and looked up. Before him was possibly the tallest mountain in The Land of Mountains. The mountain he was currently was easily dwarfed by the behemoth of a land structure.
Maikumaru decided to let himself rest. He sat down while on the top of the smaller mountain. He thought about his plans for the future. He was going to make more impressive power plays. There were a couple of ways that he could do this: he could either be diplomatic, or do it by force. Considering that Imai had already started to show his violent ways, and he had gained a large amount of allies, it was time for Maikumaru to go with the route that he was meant to go. It was time to bring about a new age for The Land of Earth. It was time to bring about the age of Warriors. He stood up. Maikumaru would have to get control of the Mercenaries Groups. He would want to integrate them fully into his plans. That wouldn’t be too hard. All he needed to do was get their leaders in line. Promise them a place in his plans. Maikumaru stood up. It didn’t matter. This was the ultimate opportunity. He clenched his fist. He was going to show the world what Earth Country is capable of. Not just Iwagakure, but all of The Land of Earth. He was going to bring about the age of Warriors. The Age of Victory. And Age of an Empire, Bound by the very Earth Itself. As his last thought came across his mind, his fist clenched and he knelt down. As he did so, the entire top of the mountain began to break and crumble. He was going to put a lot of chakra and a lot of his own strength into this jump. When he released himself from off the ground, he flew in the air at an unbelievable speed. He flew up in the air for a good minute before he saw the top. He didn’t feel himself slowing down. He reached out to the mountain, and buried his hand into it, causing rocks to fly everywhere in an effort to slow himself down. And then he reached to the near top. And then, he finally reached the top, the very top of the mountain was rather flat, leading him to believe that this was a volcano that had gone dormant long ago. He looked onward. The view was magnificent. He walked to the near edge. He let everything out of his mind. He let all his troubles, his ambitions, it all was suppressed. His body relaxed. He looked on the view. He saw the legion of mountains that gave The Land of Mountains it’s namesake. He took a deep sigh, and just enjoyed the view.
