After a long day of carrying out of Akatsuki responsibilities Hibiki was ready to confine himself to regular society, temporarily. He couldn’t help it; considering he was part of a criminal organization and he had the Shinigami breathing down his neck, it was the closes he could get to a normal life. He was dressed in the clothing of a Kirigakure citizen. He never visited the area before. But he knew there was a first for everything. He left his Akatsuki robe and hat back at the base to avoid drawing attention if they ever were revealed. The clouds were very difficult obstacles to navigate through, but he managed his way through fairly well. Hibiki used his “Spirit of the Living” technique to allow him to appear “normal” to further mask his disguise. He stopped for a few minutes to rest. He had been pulling this false supply cart up the mountain all day and he wasn’t use to such labor. He gave a small sight before he continued his way.
About a half an hour later he reached the entrance and was stopped by the guards. They asked why he was here and he simply replied “Oh to make some trade. Is there a problem?” He pretended to sound innocent. Apparently it worked because he got through.

Maro Konpaku recently left the office, leaving his Kage robes, and hate. He is wearing his usual red jacket over his black tank-top, and his fingerless glove. He is also wearing black pants with black shinobi shoes. He wasn't paying much attention to where he was going, because he was thinking about the jinchuuriki. Kumogakure was the only place where he didn't let his paranoia get to him because he didn't want to frighten the citizens. The next thing he knew, he was on the ground because he fell over someone's supply cart. He is in a bad mood right now because his Anbu has told him about spotting the missing-nin he wants to kill, and this just made it a little worse, "Ouch! Watch where your going next time," he said to the man pushing the supply cart, and while getting up.
When Maro turned and looked at the person, he knew at once the guy wasn't from around here, "Oh I'm sorry. Your trying to find the store so you can trade your supplies aren't you? Let me take you there," he said to the man.

Hibiki didn’t even notice the man that walked by and apparently tripped over his cart. He quickly turned around to see who it was, at first he thought it was a thief, trying to take his stuff. But, he then noticed it was just an average cluts. “Oh, I’m sorry. Getting here was quite a trip. I must of not of bin paying attention,” said Hibiki apologetically. He quickly checked to see if everything in the cart was covered up by the blanket. Most of the stuff in the cart was weapons that were thrown all over the place back at the hideout. He couldn’t help it that some of his team mates were a bit sloppy when it came to cleaning up after themselves.
“Oh I'm sorry. Your trying to find the store so you can trade your supplies aren't you? Let me take you there,"
“Oh, thank you. I was trying to find a place to put these. They are kind of a heavy load so sometimes I’m not paying much attention to who’s around. More of just getting the stuff from point A to point B.” said Hibiki in a polite tone. He then waited for the man to lead the way.

Maro started to lead the way, but he stopped suddenly. HE just realized that he doesn't know what the person is selling. Without that, he wouldn't know which store to take the guy too. "So what are you selling, and, or, buying?" he asked, trying to sound as polite as he possibly could. Maro has yet to see a point in activating his kekkei genkai, and he also sees no point in exchanging names. As long as he knows what the person is doing, and where he is going, that is all that matters in this situation.

“Oh, tell you the truth I’m not a really trader. I’m just a delivery boy,” answered Hibiki. He felt a bit embarrassed saying delivery boy mostly because he considers himself far from a boy. “I work for a weapons smith a bit away from here. I was told to deliver these “weapons”. He whispered the word weapons because in his time of travelling, when someone says weapons it attracts everyone’s attention. Well in his time for that matter. “Tell you the truth I’m not sure where to drop it off. The smith gave me a note but in the end I lost it on the way up here,” said Hibiki. It was then he forgot to tell the stranger his name. “Oh, forgive my rudeness my name is Ryuu.” He always love making up names. It was always a new name every time and making up a past that follows it made it even better as well.
He continued walking before asking “So any interesting news lately? I never travelled this far for a delivery before so it’s pretty much like am walking into a thick fog for me. I always like to know about places I never been to. You when I was young I use to dream about traveling to faraway places; to get to know the people and the culture,” said Hibiki. He wasn’t lying at this part. It was one of the factors why he come to places like this in his spare time.

Pointless! Everything Ryuu said was pointless to Maro. Being the respectful types that he his, he knows it's common curtasy to give a name in return, "My name is maro Konpaku. I am the Raikage of this vilage. If you have weapons, let me see them," he said stopping in his tracks. The Anbu he usually has fallowing him came out of hiding and came up to the cart, incase Ryuu tried anything.

Hibiki was somewhat shocked that he was talking to the Raikage and didn’t even notice. “Oh, I’m so sorry I didn’t know you were the leader of the Village. Well of course go ahead and look. I never wielded these but I’m sure you ninjas know how to handle them,” said Hibiki in a surprised tone. He pulled the sheet off quickly and revealed the cart full of kunis and katanas. The Anbu’s were intimidating and Hibiki pretends to act fearful. But he knew he could take them out easily if he wanted to. He noticed some people were look at them. This made him feel a bit uncomfortable. He was always the shy kind when it came to public events such as these. “Is there a law not to allow weapon trade? If so I can go get the weapon smith or something,” added Hibiki to his last comment.
This was the first Kage he had met since his last meditation, which lasted a life time. He figured being away from society for so long made his ability to distinguish a Kage a bit dull.

"There's no law of that sort. They are here to make sure you don't try anything," Maro said. With weapons Maro grew a little suspicious of Ryuu, which he's always suspicious of everyone. He looked down at his feet to hide his eyes, and activated his Kekkei Genkai. He performed the hand seals to Soul Reading, but to keep Ryuu thinking, he placed his hands on the weapons, as if he had a jutsu that allowed him to search through the pile for anything suspicious. This may take awhile, he thought to himself.
For about 45 seconds Maro used his jutsu. He has finally completed it, and now knew something was wrong for sure. "Anbu, take the weapons and go through them one at a time and make sure they are legit. Hibiki Yamada, your coming with me for a little walk," he said looking up with his kekkei genkai deactivated. Right now he was wishing he can read more then just the name, but that is har far his jutsu can allow him, but it was enough.

Hibiki knew something was up. The only regret he had was that he couldn’t enjoy life as a citizen any longer. Then the Raikage knew his name. This was certainly surprising. Hibiki gave a small sigh before nodding in agreement. “So much for a normal life,” though Hibiki as he placed his hands in his pockets. He dropped the timid act and his face turned somewhat serious. “I believe a little walk would be nice. I love taking strolls from time to time. Relives the pressure of over working you know?” said Hibiki before handing the blanket over the ANBU. He had forgotten that he had it on the ground next to his foot the whole time.
“Here I use this to cover them up to prevent thieves from just coming up and taking one,” said Hibiki. Even though he may end up not welcomed here anymore, he still believed it was a good idea to be polite. Then the Kage ordered them to take all the weapons. “Ugh, I’m not getting paid enough for this,” joked Hibiki. He never really joked much. For the most part he really was a shy person but when he’s trying to blend in. He found that Being loud makes you appear more normal and less supsious then being silent.

"Don't worry, with anbu around, I don't think thieves would dare try and steal the weapons. Now the question is, why would you use a fake name? And regardless of that, I'll cominsate you fo the weapons," Maro said. He wasn't going to pay much for them, but he hope it would be enough. He pulled out his wallet, and pulled out 500 Ryu. He knew the total amount of the weapons, but he was only willing to pay for ¼ the price.

Hibiki gave a small smile. “Because I always wanted to live a life of an average person,” answered Hibiki in a serious manner. He figured he should tell him the truth but minus a few other things as well, Akatsuki being one of them. “I wasn’t lying when I said I wanted to see places. I always wanted a new name and a differently life for a long time. It was my escape of a sort. Ah well, you caught me,” continued Hibiki. But, when the Raikage pulled the money out he just smile and accepted. “For a Raikage you sure are cheap,” mumbled Hibiki. He had pulled pashed the cart up the mounted to get paid 500 ryu.
Hibiki gave a small sigh before asking “Besides what’s wrong with making a new name?”

Maro only laughed at what Hibiki said. There was nothing wrong with it, he was only curious, and in Maro's opinion, it was a good point. "I never said there was anything wrong with it. But a word of advice, if your lugging weapons around like thatt, maybe you should give your real name first. If you have done that, maybe I would've paid you more then just that," he said pointing at the money. He was serious, and he still knew this person wasn't telling him anything. In Maro's opinion nothing is better then a lie.
"Now my question to you is, why are you truely here? Your listed in my bingo book as an S ranked criminal. I can understand you wanting to start a different life, but marked as something like that, I should have you arrested, or killed. When you answer me that question, I want you out of my village. You can also tell you Akatsuki friends, that the Rokubi is mine," Maro said with a little anger in his voice. He enjoyed Bingo Books, and he has memorized everyone in it, and marked known members of the Akatsuki as well. He was serious when he said his last part about the Rokubi, and he wasn't going to let the Akatsuki have him, because he wanted to kill the jinchuuriki himself.

“I suppose so Raikage,” said Hibiki with a small smile to Maro’s comment on false names. But, the conversation turned from light to serious. Hibiki still gave a false smile through his accusations of him being an S ranked criminal. “My how the times have changed,” said Hibiki. He laughed when Maro said “Akatsuki Friends”. It was a true laugh because it was somewhat ironic. “First of all this is my time off. I have no orders what so ever to do anything. Secondly, Akatsuki friends? Tell you something between me and you. I don’t want to be affiliated with them. Heck I really don’t want to do anything that has Akatuski in it,” replied Hibiki. When he saw the Bingo book it brought back old memories.
“So I’m a criminal huh? It has come down to this,” said Hibiki is a low tone. “Don’t worry about me trying to taking the Rokubi. I have no plans for that. I can’t guarantee about the others however,” continued Hibiki. He gave yet again another small sight before saying “Not to worry I will do this village no harm. It’s not my nature.” He had always believed himself to be a pacifist.

((OOC: Sorry for this being late. Had a lot of things to do, and then having to try and think of something to reply with))
Maro now took on a more serious look now. He wasn't sure what to say at this point. He had many replies running through his mind and decided to stop thinking to much into it. "If you don't want to be affiliated with the Akatsuki, then why did you join their organization? Your also part of the spirit clan aren't you? And don't try to lie to me about it, I can tell by your soul," he said in a serious tone. With their clans rivaly, and his paranoia, he takes things a little to far, because he called some Anbu, "Take this man into custady, he's a member of the Akatasuki, and with him being part of my clan's rival, I will find a nice punishment for him," he said, turning his head to the Anbu behind him. "Yes lord Raikage," the Anbu replied back.
Maro knows that this isn't going to be easy, so he is readying for a fight that might possibly happen. "There is two ways we can do this, the easy way, or the hard way. I've got a nice cell for you with seals that will prevente even a spirit clan member from escaping," he said with a smile. HE also laughed a little from what he said.
