As he traveled through the trees heading back towards the village. Mujin's eyes took notice of an inferno blazing through them. Cursing under his breath he only speculated at what that could mean. He had found the Hokage, but it would seem unwise to impede on a situation he knew little about. Suddenly shifting his sensory skills to the forefront while halting his movement, he caught the trail of Shijo and the familiar chakra of.. Inoka?
Who were they chasing after in the forest? Mujin hesitated, he wanted to speak with Suzaku but knew this might not be the best time. He was also curious. So many interactions hovered around the Uchiha, was this one of them... Waiting until they were out of the reach of his sensory, mentally marking their pathing. Mujin shifted once again, this time deleting his presence of chakra. Becoming a ghost in the treetops as he unconsciously followed the Hokage's trail.
Mujin knew Inoka could sense his thoughts, there was no way around it. Mujin had no idea what he would find yet he continued. There was a sickness gone unseen or ignored and he felt it was all coming to a boiling point. After a while of tracking them, Mujin would turn his sensory skills on once more. Even from this distance, the heat of the Hokage singed Mujin's mind.
It was at this moment, that Mujin detected a possible target for Lord Suzaku.
" Mirai?! "
He was not far from the intersecting point, this prompted a seal of reverse summoning from Mujin. His snake Kageja appeared coiling around Mujin. From inside the snake's throat, a saber handle appeared. Mujin took it in hand. The only way he would ensure his presence was in time was by channeling the natural flow of lightning offered by the legendary sword. Igniting the lightning blade, Mujin's body was surrounded and filled with the natural pulse of lightning.
The treetop he was standing in would then explode as if struck by lightning. A visceral and loud crackle was then heard echoing through the forest. Mujin had no time to think, he moved faster than he had done in months. If Suzaku was heading towards Mirai at that speed, something bad must be coming to light.
Arriving on the outer edge of the border, Mujin would take notice of his Sharingan of clones of Mirai moving through the area, placing explosive tags around the area. Ignoring, and avoiding them for now, Mujin would then continue until he located Mirai and Suzaku. Watching from a rocky area he would notice Suzaku's fury. Mirai's body language resembled peace and serenity, but why was she out here? What did she do to insight such wrath of the Lord Hokage?
If they spared any time for sensory, Mujin would have been easily located if not seen first. A blemish in the rocky mountains of the border would show an individual in Jonin clothing sparking violently with lightning. Mujin dared not get in the way.. just yet. Mujin's mind was racing with anxiety and worry. Mujin stayed ready however, He couldn't let either one hurt the other. Mujin also had to remind himself, that Shijo and Inoka were increasingly closing their distance on the group.
What was he going to do, He preached and practiced his nonconflictive nature, and he warned them about making rash decisions, why did no one ever listen to Mujin? He was always trying to look out for the Uchiha and the leaf, people in general. He told them not to make him pick sides. He loved Tenbo and Mirai platonically, he did what they wanted without crossing the other, and he rolled over and allowed them to make names for themselves while he lived a normal life. Yet even with these warnings, they continued to carve their path, was this the accumulation of Mirai's pride or was she regretting ending up in this situation? Mujin then remembered the paper bombs, Suzaku was raging and would surely set them off right?
Mujin wanted to slap himself to wake up from all these stray thoughts, he needed to stay focused on this situation and watch it unfold. He only hoped he wouldn't have to get involved even Mujin didn't know what side his coin would land on. The constant thought of being left behind, ignored, brushed off, abandoned, it all weighed on Mujin drastically.
