The tree of the past (Solo training, P)

Maku made his way to the great tree of Takigakure no Sato. It had been a long time since he had been here, and truthfully he wasn't sure if he would ever return. Here now, he looked at the tree and remembered his time training with Taiga, the now leader of Takigakure. He had wished he could have revealed his true identity, but it simply was not possible at the moment. Perhaps when this world tour was over he would be able to, but for now his little hint would have to tide him over. Here at the tree, Maku decided to work on some of his skills. Snapping the goggles over his eyes, he activated his sharingan, as they would not be visible from behind the lenses. Once done, he took up a fighting stance, and worked on some taijutsu. It wasn't something he normally did, but one never knew when a close range combat would become necessary. He flung flurry after flurry of quick strikes. He wasn't nearly as strong as many ninja who practiced any form of taijutsu, but he was fast and that is what he used. It was while he trained his body that his mind continued to roam.

He thought of this world and all the desires he had in it. The physical world had so much to offer and he wanted everything he could get from it. His mounting desires seemed to make his eyes throb, as if they were drawing in chakra to them. His desire to bend the physical world to his will, and have the power to do so seemed to awaken further power within his eyes. He let his mangekyo sharingan eyes activate but for a moment, pulling the goggles off his head as black flames seemed to fire from his left eye. They burnt through branches of the tree in a moment, their heat frightening. Maku quickly deactivated his eyes, and wiped the blood from his cheek.

Maku discovered the heat did not burn him, and instead he could move it to and fro manipulating the fire. Another ancient skill, just as the scrolls had spoke of. The legendary black fire. This would be yet another awesome skill to have. He would have to report this to Youka as soon as possible, the man needed to know about this, as it could be harmful if he accidentally got in the way of the fire. Maku swore he would discover a way to decrease the pain caused by his eyes, he needed to keep practicing with them, but he couldn't risk permanent damage to his eyes at the same time just for training. Leaving the area, Maku turned his back on the great tree, leaving this area most likely for the last time.
