Maru marched along to the forest of death, meeting up with other Konoha ANBU operatives who were checking in for training. The raven haired man wore his usual mask containing the features of a crying clown with the typical painted face and big smiles that clowns usually have. Usually, he would prefer to train at night, but this was the only time he would actually get to see other ANBU operatives. Some sat on logs staring at Maru, while some did their training with other ANBU as sparring partners. Maru looked around the training area for a moment, then stopped when seeing a armored stomach in his way that seemed like he wasn't going to move. "Hm?” Maru sounded curious, looking up to see a man in a white bear mask looking down at him. He was a lot bigger than Maru considering how skinny the puppet master looked, compared to him this guy looked like he could snap Maru and make him into a toothpick. The other ANBU operatives stopped training to look over to where Maru and this big meathead looking guy were standing, looking to see how the situation had unfolded.
Noticing this, Maru narrowed his eyes then politely said. "Get the hell out of my way you grizzly bear looking son of a bitch.”Hearing this disrespect, the muscular ANBU brought his head back in surprised clearly not used to newbies disrespecting him like that. Pushing down the urge to beat the scrawny brat, he decided to give a actual reason to why he blocked Maru's way to justify his bullying. "Well, well… seems like this kid likes doing things the hard way.” He sneered glaring down at Maru. "You know Lord Hokage was crazy to think that a common criminal like you has what it takes to be one of us.” He said, looking from left to right seeing if some people would agree with him and truth be told they all thought of Maru as a danger to them, but yet he was allowed into the ANBU because he shown "potential” that they weren't seeing. Maru balled his fist up, then two other Anbu operatives came to the side of the boy. One was a fat kid, and the other was a lanky guy in a bird mask.
“Well then, let's start telling the crimes that our newbie here had already done and he got a mere slap on the wrist.” His two partners decided to seal off an area with a powerful wall of chakra; preventing both entry and exit for a limited time so they could protect this hero from being prosecuted for teaching Maru a lesson. “He attempt to murder everyone in the students tournament, vandalized the hokage rock, destroyed ANBU property, looting in tea, Aaron in tea, and assault with a deadly weapon….” he stood there knowing the the crowd would have his back, then began cracking his knuckles while his two sidekicks got their kunai ready. Maru raised his hand… “So in the name of the law, and the will of fire! I, Nikumu! Will serve just-” Maru didn't listen to anymore of this trash, the boy was on the ground before he knew what was happening. While the boy ranted Maru gave him a fist of sin right to his gut along with death touch! So much for hero saving the day.
Angered, his two partners who were lower ranking ninja than Nikumu charged at Maru, kunai’s ready. So Maru made a strong looking barrier appear to block the strikes, then it disappeared into the ground only to trap both attackers in a barrier like prison! While the boy laid there on the ground.. he groaned in pain and Maru turned right around to leave the training area…. Making a mental note to train in the city of thieves only.
