He had a plan, a simple direction he felt he must take before returning to the lands of wind and into the embrace of the demon... And the first step, a conversation with the only Sennin a Myakashi had fought with where neither was dead at the end, and in Yong's eyes the only thing standing between Konoha and destruction, Sennin Nao. Yong wore light yellow, large rimmed glasses and a cheap grey suit, though it fit him well as if it had been made for the man wearing it. The shinobi looked blankly ahead through the dense trees as if trying to discern the forests opinion on his new suit. The forest remained quiet, only a few opinionated insects pierced the otherwise calm silence of the night.
"Hmm... Urufuebi... What do you think about my suit? Looking... Non threatening?"
A long low grumble came from somewhere deep within the body of the monstrous creature floating gently above the forest canopy over Yong. From organs not meant for human speech came a vibration of sound almost gelatinous in nature though each word pronounced perfectly and clearly.
"I, a creature of the deepest waters, beyond light and weight, beyond time, I who dwelt with the Mad Blind Goddess for an eternity, I who was king before you were meat... You wish my opinion on a SUIT!!"
The large jellyfish/lobster creature swirled out of the air and down to the ground, smashing the trees around Yong as it circled him a few times before coming to a crashing halt through the debris of the upturned trees in front on Yong who was lighting a cigarette nonchalantly in the centre of the momentary chaos.
"Well yeah?"
Yong gave his best non threatening smile to the massive monster as it closely inspected it's tiny companion, inspection lasting an uncomfortably long time before the creature grumbled it's thoughts.
"Clothes are foolish... Do as instinct dictates... Eat Nao's heart and send their soul to the Goddess for judgement... Why do you humans have to make everything so complex?"
Giving the large creature a dismissive waive of his hand Yong turned to the unnatural monster sprawling around him in the small clearing it had made for itself when landing. His tone turned sharp for a moment before asking his question again.
"I will do as I see fit Lord Urufuebi... And you failed to answer me... The suit? The suit?!"
With another deep grumble the gelatinous monster shifted somewhat uncomfortably under the momentary scolding from the Champion of the Goddess on this plain of existence.
"Hmmm.... yes... it is a good suit for not killing humans in... its fragile cloth will do little to protect your soft meat from the teeth of your enemies..."
Lifting off into the air once more, Urufuebi grumbled it's parting thoughts to Yong before departing rapidly towards the west.
"I go now to hunt... Protect yourself in my absence Champion of Dark Waters..."
"I will meet you here tomorrow, you be safe too Uru!"
Yong gave the rapidly parting creature a wave and a smile before turning in the direction of Leaf Village now only a few dozen kilometers away. With a smile and a newfound determination Yong walked through the night to his destination.
Yong had a good feeling about this!

Yong had a bad feeling about this!
Despite the late hour the great gates of Konoha were still bustling with activity but as his unmasked face entered the strong pool of light around the security checkpoint it took only moments for him to be recognised. Suddenly multiple spotlights surged to life and swinging their strong beams to focus on the grey suited Yong out amongst the quickly scattering crowd.
A lone gate guard wearing the insignia of a Jounin of Konoha seperated from the group and approached him hesitantly, his hand gripped unsteadily around the hilt of the sword at his hip, his fingers whitening in an effort to hide its trembling. It seemed this particular gate guard was familiar with the Myakashi's work.
"Halt! You are not welcome here, if you try and proceed we will be forced to stop you..."
Yong could tell by the guards shaking hands that he was by no means sure if they could stop him but Yong could also tell by the conviction in his voice that they were willing to lay down their lives for even a chance to stop the Myakashi's potential bloodshed withing the village they protected this night.
Yong paused for a moment, lifting his hands up above his head in a visual indication of surrender before moving them interlaced behind his head. He breathed out deeply before lowering himself to his knees, the dirt of the Konoha gates soiling the knees of his grey suit. His eyes focusing on the stoic though obviously frightened gate guardian standing before his now kneeling form. A subtle disarming smile came over his unshaven face as he gave the man a conspiratorial wink.
"I surrender."
The guards words were hesitant and stuttered, like the mans brain had been discombobulated by Yong's two simple words. To the shinobi's credit though he did not hesitate for long, regaining his composure enough to reach his hand not clasping the hilt of his weapon up to the side of his head, quickly depressing the function button on his headset as he broadcast to the ANBU and Sennin bandwidth a brief yet important message.
"Requesting immediate backup at the Phoenix Gates! Myakashi Yong has... Surrendered. Repeat, requesting immediate backup at the Phoenix Gates! Myakashi Yong has surrendered... What do I do?!"
