Just a stroll through the Forest of Death

[Kureji]

​

Kurejī has learned the art of acting. When he is in his original body, he acts like himself. As for Slim, the green mask puppet, he acts more carefree, amusing, and downright weird and confusing. As for this newest edition of a persona, Rox, take a bit more serious and sterner look about him despite the mask making it look like he is smiling. Rox, this new identity that Kurejī came up with, keeps to himself and today was the first time that he has walked around the Village. What caught his attention the most was the forest. He couldn't help but feel pulled by some force to investigate it.

Walking around, he heard the creatures of the area as they milled about. Now living at Tea for some time, he became familiar with actual plant life rather than desert cacti and other sand-based flora, but still walking around in the middle of a forest full of life is still a mind-boggling experience for him. He fixed the strappings of his rifle, a way to fend himself against any animals or other sort of things or people might target him, and also made sure that newspaper article he found at Tea was on his person as he wandered through the Forest.

Now he may have come with the idea of finding out what happened with this Maru guy, but who said that he can't have fun on the way to him? That Obi Wan Shinobi at the Village Gates talked about the Lolli Kage. From just listening around town, Obi Wan Shinobi might be a little bit off his rockers as nobody even mentions a 'Lolli Kage', only this Hokage chick. He stopped in his tracks, hokage.... kage.... ah, that's a leader person of a Village. Might be good to find a way to contact this Hokage after he is done vibing at this Forest.

As he strolled, he figured that the least he can do is train himself. The Leafies should at the very least leave him alone as long as he doesn't try anything to hurt the general population. But before he thought about it too much, a mischievous thought came to mind. Though the puppet looked to be of an adult man, the vessel controlling, the soul that resides within, is still a teenager at latest age of 18. Pulling some pranks that would leave the Leafies scratching their heads would be a worthwhile thing to see.

But... in the case of if a Leafie doesn't take the joke for what it is, Kurejī should train himself for a fight. First things first, he trained with his rifle as this puppet excelled with this gun. Putting up makeshift targets, the Rox puppet shot each one effortlessly. He was careful to not use up too much ammo, as such a component is an uncommon thing in the world of shinobi. Only ten shots were made perfectly before he switched to the Kota puppet, his old body. Bringing out one of his favorite puppets, Teddy Bear, an eight-foot-tall stuffed bear made to now be a weapon as it swung its arms through a tree leaving a big gash in it. And just as fast as he had summoned it, it was gone and Kurejī and pressurized water came from a mechanical joint in his hands and obliterated a nearby boulder. With a sigh, he knew that he still has a long way to go on becoming strong enough to be confident with handling himself in a fight. Part of him had wondered if he had made the mistake going off on his own. But then the other thought being that he probably would never be as experienced than he is now. That, and the cool new crazy things he can get himself into.
