It's Just Business

Hours following the meeting with his siblings in the Land of Tea, the Second Uzushiokage needed to make one more stop prior to returning to his village. But, unlike the previous meeting, this confrontation needed to be unknown to anyone. In the midst of the night, as Shenron and his guards made their way back to the village by boat, the Kage swiftly knocked out his own protectors in order to be alone. Leaving a clone in his place just in case his guards woke up, Shenron made his way to the only island insight 一. Upon making it to his destination, Shenron surveyed the area making sure he was the only person there within a thirty kilometer radius. Once he was positive, he masked his identity with a black coat and a mask that resembled that of the Shinigami. He then activated one of his seals to mask his shinobi presence and then made his way into the forest.

The forest was ancient. The trees thick and old, roots that were twisted. It might once have been filled with bird-song and animals that roamed. But now it was ages past its former glory. Its canopy was so dense that one could only see the occasional streak of moonlight that rarely touched the forest floor. It was indeed the ideal location. Withdrawing a scroll, Shenron shifted his eyes to the blank page. Suddenly, kanji emerged on the scroll writing a single phrase, "I'm here". The scroll then disappeared, and he then sat patiently waiting.
