5 Happiness.

Rumeru had drained all of his chakra, nearly dragging himself to the gates of hell. To gain some chakra he started meditation.

"A calm mind leads to victory." He said. A few minutes lead to an hour and an hour to a few. Someone knocked on the door.

"Excuse me, did you wish to eat? It is morning and for a few coins you could have breakfast." Her voice was soft and lively.

"Sure, I'll be out in a minute." Rumeru says as he stabs his chakra points. The body reformation damages the chakra pathway, some were clogged or broken. His right arm was unable to move so using the byakugan to find each precise point was the best decision. He didnt hold much information of what each chakra point can do, so he made rough estimates. It was risky and can hurt like hell.

The girl was suprised and took steps back when she heard Rumeru's sudden burst of screams and liquid falling to the ground. His attempts of fixing his arm lead to small deep cuts on his arm. In moments he started drowning them with alchohol and cauterizing them shut with fire that gathered at his fingertips

"At the very least they only have small wounds." He whispered. His arm shook to life.

When the girl suddenly barged in, rumeru whipped his head and casted a genjutsu to make him look like the man who entered yesterday. The sudden usage of chakra with damaged points made him cough blood, it was painful to say the least.

"My apologies for dirtying the room, some old wounds opened." He attempted a smile but quickly stopped.

"Jesus... What kind of wound could leave this much blood...?" Her face showed anger and sadness. She was a sort of maid of the bar, she cleaned and cooked everything and now the room was stained with red and the stench of blood.

"You either pay the cleaning fee, do it yourself, or you can leave." She growled.

"I can do it. do you have a rag or towel I can use?" Rumeru asked.

"Yeah, there is a room to the left that has cleaning supplies." She pointed to a door with a sign that read, "WORKERS ONLY". She turned back and said, "Cant you do some jutsu sh*t? You are obviously a shinobi."

"It is not that simple." He grumbled. On the walk, he saw a variety of people. A few different headbands, a few from hidden leaf and hidden sand, another from the hidden mist, and the rest were either unrecognizable or people who are not shinobi.

One person was far different from everyone else, she looked like she was in her 30. Her chakra was constantly moving, like it was a body transformation. Some of the chakra strayed from their designated path and gathered in a dense diamond on her forehead.

Even if she had looked good, when compared to his previous age it discussed him. To think his loyalty had fallen to such a degree. He continued to the door. Strange noises pierced the door and through the babbling of the people downstairs.

"Kids now a day's." He said shaking his head. "better make it quick to not stop their fun." he grinned. He quickly swung open the door and slowly grabbed a bucket and rag,

"Excuse me." Smiling his way out and closing the door. The noise was muffled but when the door opened the bar went into an awkward silence. It soon went back to its lively self, yet the couple left the storage room looking down and out of the bar.

Rumeru laughed his way back to his room. He started cleaning the floor. Time passed quickly, the moon peaked through his window. He left a hefty tip and left with a takeout box of dinner.

"The payment is in my room. Have a nice night." He looked much more happy, less cold and serious.

when he reached the exit, a man and child walked in. The kid's hair was a light yellow and clothes bright orange with a blue highlight. He had a hidden leaf headband and whisker like marks on both cheeks. The man had long white hair and red lines that lead from the bottom of his eyes down to his neck. His headband stated oil, it had no immediate meaning to Rumeru. He stepped aside so they could pass.

"If we are looking for some place to eat, why dont we just go somewhere real, like a ramen shop? Why this stinky dump?" The kid says in an infuriated tone.

"When will you learn? this is just the sort of place where you can pick up information." the man said. He turned and looked around, he seemed satisfied when he saw a woman with the diamond on her head, she was accompanied with another person with black hair.

They both squinted at each other before The man yelled,

"Tsunade?" in response the woman jumped up and shouted,

"Jiraiya?" Her chest bounced up, the kid wasnt satisfied by the meeting.
