He had never thought it would come to this.

The ex-Tsuchikage, now dubbed down to a mere Anbu Captain in Kirigakure. He had never thought that he would step down from the rank of leader, to the rank of a seocnd leader, and taking orders from someone else. It was so... unlike him in every way possible. Yet, he had been away for far too long to which it resulted in the population of Iwagakure to take a drastic decrease, and the village itself is in ruins. Meaning majority of the civilians and ninjas there decided to go elsewhere. Bummer. Anyway, he now resided in the Land of Mist, to where his fire capabilities would be considered useless to him in every way possible. No matter, he always had a thing for close combat range anyway, and he had his Earth-Release techniques to keep him at bay so he should be in good hands in regards to elements. He had found himself in the Administrative Building in Kirigakure. Not too shabby, but nothing like Iwagakure's Administrative Building.

His attire was very simple, a anbu-like top along with his league of assassins head which was a hood that covered most of his face head, leaving his facial features and face in general all black, like he was wearing a mask, Anbu ninja pants, and his ninja feet that was ninja tabi, showing his socks. He also wore a nebula cape that looked like a scarf with a short tail form behind wrapped around his neck and an white cloak over his uniform. He had remebered to take on the new name of Taichi Miago to keep his identity a secret.

He knocked on the Mizukage door three times for good luck. Although he was the patient type of sannin, he would've liked to not be kept waiting for a long period of time. Nonetheless, the Mizukage was busy so he understood the life of a kage. All he had to do was wait...
