Maikumaru
A-rank
Maikumaru stood outside of the fortress. It was one of many. He had planned to drive out the Mercenaries from Earth Country altogether, as they would be a threat to his power. But he had decided to go a different route. If he could recruit them to his cause, if he could inspire them to do his bidding, he could gain a sizable army for the endgame. It was the Black Dragon Mercenary Group. The fortress was tall, and bulky. It looked haphazardly put together by the average person who looked on it, but rare has Maikumaru seen fortifications as fine as this. The guards watched him. The Black Dragons had been in Earth Country for some time. They knew who he was. The only watched him as he admired the fortress. He liked the rugged look. It reminded him of himself. “Excuse me. Who are you? What are you doing here?” Maikumaru looked at them. They knew who he was. But it was a bit unbelievable that the Tsuchikage would arrive to their base. “I’m the Nineteenth Tsuchikage. I’m here to see your leader. Let me in.” They looked at each other. They didn’t want to face Maikumaru. They knew that was resistance was futile. And the stepped aside, and they each pulled the lever, opening the gate to the hideout. Maikumaru’s eyes widened. It wasn’t just a fortress. It was an entire village. Granted the village was small, but the interior matched the exterior. Rugged and cruel. Everyone who was going about their business looked on him. They looked at the Tsuchikage. And in the center of the village was a hut, one of the many huts. But this one had the skull of a giant lizard at the top of it. Everyone around Maikumaru whispered and looked on him. He ignored their gaze, as no one attempted to stop him. As soon as he walked to the door, he opened it, and saw that inside was a man sitting on a hair, surrounded by women, who were lounging around. This man was particularly of a more on the larger and rounder side. A far cry from what Maikumaru expected to be a leader of a Mercenary Group. The man looked at Maikumaru, a bit startled, but unafraid. “Well isn’t it the Tsuchikage. And what a surprise. You have come into MY estate. And without guards. This is quite the situation you seem to have put your se-”
“Save it. Keep moving that jaw of yours, and I can guarantee that it will be removed from your face. If I were you I’d show me a bit more respect. Because if you don’t Not only will I enjoy butchering your fat ass, before I do I’m going to leave, kill any of your goons who decide to get in my way, and come back with all Iwagakure Shinobi to regn hell down on you. Do I make myself clear?”
His eyes were widened. He stopped lounging and leaned forward in his chair. And then he smiled. His smile immediately evolved to full on laughter. “Do you honestly think you can scare me? Huh? You are as bit of the fool as I would expect from a leashed dog. But let’s put these threats aside. You came here to talk business I’m sure. And I can be a very agreeable man if the price is right. And being a man of your status the price will probably be more than right. And as a sign of good faith, I will give you one of my females.” Maikumaru looked around. Women started to eye him hungrily. He inwardly shuttered.
“Your offer is appreciated, but I’m here for a grander reward. I am in need of your services. Your permanent services.”
“What are you saying, welp?”
“I want your organization to become officially part of Iwagakure. I have something big coming, and as of now, I’m in the need of the assistance.”
“If you want an army, you are going to have to pay for it. Just like everyone else.”
“I can assure you after the deed is done-”
“The problem with that, Lord Tsuchikage, is that we are an upfront organization.”
The Iron Lord glared at Maikumaru, who returned the gaze. “I’m not going to leave here satisfied.” The large man reached behind his throne. And when his hand reappeared, in it was a very big hammer. “Are we going to have to start this off on a bad note, Lord Tsuchikage?” Maikumaru reached behind his back, and unhooked the chains that kept a hold of his gauntlets. He placed them all, and pounded his fists together. “Looks like, I’ll have to use brute force.” The guards were about to brandish their weapons, before the Iron Lord waved them off. “No. I got this. It would be fun to do a little tussle with the Tsuchikage.
He made his move toward the Tsuchikage, his hammer hoisted up on his shoulder. He raised it up and heaved it down. Maikumaru was far faster than he could be. The Earthbound Brawer leapt to the left using his right leg, and then with his left, he pounced at the Iron Lord, his fist ramming into his side. With his left hand. And then, he used his right fist to cause an uppercut, one powerful enough to send the Iron Lord crashing out of his own roof.
Maikumaru leapt to the hotel he made, and jumped on the roof. He saw that the Iron Lord had fallen to the ground below. The Tsuchikage walked over to look down on him. He smiled. He walked off the edge of the Hutt, and landed in front of him. The Iron Lord stumped to his feet, and looked up at Maikumaru, clutching his hammer. He stood back, while Maikumaru assumed his brawler stance as his always does. The Iron Lord began to spin around, holding out his hammer. He picked up a considerable speed until he was a tornado. “Wind Release: Iron Tornado!” He started to move closer to Maikumaru who held out his hand. Immediately, he caught the hammer, putting the vortex to a halt, and baffling the Iron Lord. The Brawler pulled the Hammer out of his hands, and threw it to the ground. He took off his gauntlets, and set them on the ground. He dashed forward, and, with his bare hands, drove his fist into the man’s jaw. Maikumaru grabbed his shirt before he could fall over. And jammed his fist into his side. Maikumaru lifted him up on his shoulder, and dashed forward. The Tsuchikage charged like a relentless rhino, with everyone watching, wondering or not if they should help their leader. His charged stopped, finally slamming into another hut, causing a crack in its exterior. He let the man fall on his butt, and allowed him to lean up against the cracked hut. He looked around. “Don’t just stand there! Do something! KIll him!” Maikumaru looked at everyone with a hungry look in his eyes. He wanted some more action. But they didn’t want to be pounded into a red paste.
Maikumaru turned to them all. “You all are now in service of Iwagakure. For the time being, you will do as planned, until further notice.” Maikumaru smirked. I can assure you...you will be rich beyond your wildest dream. I swear, on my title as Kage: this will be worth your while.” They all looked at each other. The only thing these mercenaries cared about was the bottom line. They all looked back at Maikumaru. They also knew what would happen if they refused. In the end, they would be getting riches and they wouldn’t have to feel the wrath of the Tsuchikage. “As your first act in my charge…” Maikumaru pointed to The Iron Lord. “Kill him…”
