Ryujou finally made his way into the Outer Village area after ages. It had been complex journey and had needed some tricky finagling with time management, but he eventually made his way out and into the great unknown. As his bees swirled around him, coming and going for as much information as possible, he walked into the woods with excitement. He had gone far too long with a honey supply crushingly low and that needed solving as soon as possible. Away from the central influence of these lame Leaf Ninja, with good luck, there should be some good hives ripe for the pickin'. The God of Honey grants good fortune to those who seek it out.
Luck it seemed, was not on the Bee Boy's side at all. The deeper he got into the forest, the less sunlight shone through the thick woodland canopy and more bees came back with the sad, sad news that there were almost no native bees, and no hives at all. Maybe it was the fact that the influence of Ninjas blasting chakra everywhere was further reaching than he had though. Perhaps it was simply a geological hazard that kept cool bugs away from the area. In any case, there wasn't anything that the young kid could do. The God of Honey's actions are profound and mortals cannot hope to comprehend them.
Except pout. All young children like pouting and Ryujou was no exception in the slightest. Rage he did, hopping around all mad and sad, a lad with vengeance to be had. Why had he been forsaken with his only desire in life being that of honey? This was outrageous! This was unfair! Suddenly, as though a greater being had willed it, a ray of sunshine made its way past the leaves blotting out the sky and landed on the ground before him, lighting up a small oblong piece of rock. The God of Honey shows a path to those who are lost.
The bee boy was shaken out of his despair, looking towards the sky for It had just given him the answer that he sought. Here he was, further from the chaotic inner village area that most Nin resided in. Surely there would be people here lacking a purpose in life and lacking the abilities needed to pursue their dreams. Ryujou had been brought here by lack of honey, forced to stay by lack of hives and thus needed to show people the mentality of bees. The God of Honey bestows his wisdom to those whom deserve it.
After all, bees are hard working creatures! Toiling endlessly to produce their honey and feed their people, noble creatures who sacrificed their livelihoods for the benefit of others! This was a just cause and Ryujou needed to throw away his own selfish desires to help spread this ideal to other people and creatures as well. If this truly was the goal of the God who ordained this quest to Ryujou, then such a God could surely help him with the honey issue afterwards. The God of Honey's stratagems know no bounds.
And so, Ryujou decided to set out wherever he needed to in order to fulfill this goal. Be it mountain or valley, forest or desert, he would find a way to fulfill this quest or search long enough that he found honey. People, he decided, were often unworthy of such attention give by the Lord of Honey. With bees being such noble and intelligent creatures, there existed within others the potential for such greatness too. With other creatures, like bees, possessing a single-minded determination for their goals, all that they lacked was the aid of others and the power that such union could bring. Bees work in a hive and with others; Ryujou had his fellow companions to aid him, and any such being could achieve greatness too as long as there existed others to propel them to that pedestal. The bees too, understood the importance of Ryujou's quest and with a divine fervor, they set out to find a worthy creature to assist. Bee it any sort of animal, creature or anything with the potential and drive for greatness, Ryujou would bee there. For the God of Honey is benevolent to all under his domain.
