Since Maru wasn't actually let into the village, he was still allowed to stay within the country so he decided to head to where that guy named Roku told him to head off to. He was to head to Soons Haven, some place ran by a group of incredibly super rich and powerful people known as the Merchant Lords. Since he's spent most of his life living on the outskirts of Konoha in Crater City which was well known as the City of Thieves. When he heard about Soons Haven he figured that there had been some people who had been using their silver spoons negatively, so why not simply rob these said people and put them out of business. Since he did have the mindset of a thief naturally he looked at this opportunity as a way to get fast money both as a thief and as a mercenary.
Maru decided to wear his puppet body with his temporal stride abilities, honestly his time bending puppet was indeed his favorite puppet to use for job like these. This body represented that of a 18-year- old, he had an all white suit with a stylish white top hat. Brown hair down to his shoulders with a fancy looking monocle with buttons so he'll be able to accelerate his movement that covered his right eye. He also had a watching to go back and forth in time and to also reset any timeline at least 3 times if he doesn't like what happens a few seconds ago. And the really beautiful thing about this Hitokugustu was that he could step out of time completely.
He wouldn't have any problem doing the task he was assigned but young mercenary ran into a slight problem…. He didn't exactly know where Soons Haven was! He scratched his head, kicking at the sand at his feet. “Now where the hell was that city again. “ he asked himself, wondering if some kind passerby would give the mercenary some directions so he could see who he could see the loot he could make off with and the bloodlines that he could add to his collection. The thought made the puppet master chuckle to himself, rubbing greedy palms together before getting back to trying to find this place.
