謝罪

The room in which he sat wasn't typical to what Kumogakure was known for. While the caves of the upper yard were very well known for their spaciousness, there weren't too many surviving the villages modern era. In fact, this very room might have been one of the few left. While its secrecy was well known, its reality was far from it. In fact, aside from the ANBU, not too many people were aware of the room in which the Yondaime Raikage stood. His sleeves draping over his hands, and his collar falling somewhere behind his back, he would stare into the dense darkness of the cave- its depth astounding. It was his first time really seeing this cave for what it was. In the past, he had taken orders here, or passed through here on a typical routine check-up, but never really taken in just how beautiful this cave was. All around him stood the markings of what he could only assume to be his ancestors. With his family having been in this village for as long as he could remember, he held a certain bond to not only this village, but this land. He had to ensure his time spent here would go down in the history books, right alongside the man who had tamed one of the tailed beast of legend. His neck would twist to the right to take notice to the etchings of yet another beast, the eight tailed beast, Hachibi. Scowling, he would quickly turn away from the image, instantly frustrated by the thought of the beast's power. It was probably that power that would have caused the assassins to go after Eiichiro. Of course, that was something that he didn't like to dwell on. Instead, he wanted to dwell on the solution that would await him to conquer it.

Taking a few steps into the cave, he would eventually be met with the dim lights of an automatic lighting system. This was the place in which he would call his home away from home... where he would develop his tactics, techniques and systems. Nodding to himself, he would look around once more, ensuring that he was alone- even free of the ANBU that had been assigned to follow him these days. Turning back towards the back of the cavern, he would slowly remove a small red scroll, on it's side would read 'geometry,' in a very bold print. Pulling its golden string, he would begin to unravel the makimono, revealing small circles covering all of the available space. Thrusting itself open, Heihachi would hover one of his hands over the first circle. A dim light would encapsulate the script, and within a slight 'puff' of smoke, a decent sized scroll would appear in Heihachi's hand. He would continue this procedure until all five scrolls had appeared before him. He would stack them into a pyramid type fashion before opening the first one up. In the mean time he had also opened a different scroll which he would reveal to have two more scrolls, a rather large ink bottle and a fairly large paint bottle. He hadn't had much time to paint since his induction, so this was an almost therapeutic getaway.

Grasping the paintbrush with his index finger taking control, he would look down at the gridded paper and begin to envision what he would assume to be the perfect location for him to be. His mind would instantly envision one of his previous missions.
