On the move

As a matter of fact, he has. The Sage walks from the snowy path, looking quite disgruntled at the white powdered substance coating his jeans and sneakers..As a local from Fire Country being in Yukigakure in the LAND OF FREAKING SNOW has been quite the annoyance to him, thank goodness for that hotel..And the cute waitresses that happened to enjoy helping him keep warm. The mans goggles are slid over his eyes which take in the scene displayed before him, jutsu and fists flying as the two keep up with there little game, a chuckle escapes him and he shakes his head.
They really are stir crazy...Well, better now then later that he takes them off on a bit of a trip.
He continues walking as Youka reacts to Maku's assault and enjoys the area of melted snow and slightly charred earth..Why the hell can everyone cast a fireball but him..? He ponders for a moment as he walks past Maku "Time to go boys, we're gonna be traveling awhile, I assume you two know how to hunt and cleanse water..?" He asks rhetorically, if they don't then they will learn and as punishment for not having this knowledge they will drink and eat whatever remains after he's finished.

A backpack is visible on the back of the jinchuuriki, he's traveling light this time around he doesn't plan on spending his funds on any Inns especially since the first three lands they will be passing through is the bountiful Waterfall country, then the plains of Grass and then they will be roughing it in the frozen cliffs of the Iron country...where they will have to be wary and not insult the Samurai still positioned there...

If they don't follow he leaves them there, if they follow then there is no problem..It's a leisurely pace and it's important to enjoy the freedom of the road while one can.

As soon as darkness over came Youka his body acted on reflex quickly performing the hand seals for the substitution jutsu. His body would shift with a tree branch that had been laying on the field for sometime covered with snow. His new position would be directly behind Maku reach out his left hand for the back of Maku's neck. It would be just before he reached it that Echo would appear making his presence known by speaking.

Youka's hand would drop and he would turn in the direction of the voice still blind and nodding his head in an affirmative manner. He was blind but he could still sense out where he was, though he did hope Maku would lift the genjutsu.

"I'm ready."

WC towards Poddelka

Maku would sense Youka behind him, but the presence of his lord and savior deterred further action.  Hearing him speak, it appeared it was time to leave the immediate area.  Good think Maku had packed his copy of "So your going camping, here's 37 tips and tricks for you" that should come in handy.  Though, this was not Maku's strong suit so it might be a challenge.  However, Maku was about as a quick study as there was so he would be able to pick it up in no time.  Turning he would know Youka is still blind, so taking advantage of this he would give him a quick bunch to the privates, and then push him to knock him over, saying "I win"

Walking away, his mind would already be on the task after this little exchange.  He would be thinking if all that they would do and be doing.  Echo had mentioned fighting others to test them and see if thy were up to snuff with working with them.  This would be fun, Maku had plenty of opportunities of fighting Kira and Youka, but not very many other people.  While he felt very much prepared due to knowing how strong Youka was, but still it always was good to test oneself against numerous people.

Maku deactivated his sharingan as he walked, because he still felt like Echo was not all that impressed with his acquiring of them.  Either way however, Maku still did not regret his actions, after all if it assisted then in their mission wouldn't it be worth it.  Now though he would continue to focus on whatever skills he had at his disposable.  His powers in Genjutsu were impressive, and he would continue to work nk those.  However his new acquisition into ninjutsu also was proving to be an amazing ability.

He also still needed to work with his space time chakra as well.  Either way, times hard ahead were coming, best prepare.
