GAAAAHHHH!!!!!![Private.]

The demon child of Volcano, a Destruction Lord heralded as the one who when in full maturity will bring about a great disaster and enslave all of the human race, is currently sitting at home on the couch having a staring contest with an oofloo baring his fangs at the thing while growling in a feral manner.

'Just blink you stupid beast!' He rages in his head hoping to pounce on the creature as soon as it does.
He's focused on his prey and not his surroundings as this in his mind is marked as his safe haven.

Shouten has once again entered his home base, the village of Funkagakure no Sato. Multiple thoughts swirl through his head, mostly about the recent mission he undertook, hopefully they connect the pieces of his beloved, and Kumogakure. However, with them ignoring the clone and attempting to move past it, may mean that they caught on to him, a potential setback that will need to be remedied once his partners return from their meeting.

Shouten returns now to his home, pushing upon the door with his left hand as the dust is moved across the floor, the man curious if his house guests are here. Shouten however spies the youngest guest perched upon the couch, his eyes staring at his original Oofloo, Geoffrey.

Stepping into his house, the door closes by itself behind him, he does not lock the door for who would dare enter his home uninvited? He would honestly enjoy crushing such an individual that had the balls to do as such. Shouten upon inspecting the child however, notes no bandages are present, the gloves, and scarf he left the boy seem to of found their way to him.

Shouten speaks to the boy with a slight smirk, "You clean up pretty nice Shanik." The man says with a soft chuckle, slowly advancing towards the couch.

Shanks hears the man enter but does not take his eyes off the creature, as he passes and speaks however his eyes gleam red in rage and he whips his head around "MY NAME IS SHANKS YA FRUITLOOP LOOKING BASTARD!!!!!" He shouts his right fist shaking in the mans direction, however his eyes widen and his head whips in 'Geoffreys' direction and he goes unnaturally still his eyes widening and looking slightly hungry...almost like a feline would look upon being spotted by it's prey.

Hearing the boy speak causes his right brow to arc upwards in confusion, what did he miss while he was gone, and what does he mean by "fruitloop looking"? He notes however how the boy immediately goes back to looking towards Geoffrey, it seems his pet found a new friend, or at least someone it can fuck with. Whilst the staring contest begins again, Geoffrey opens his mouth, the shrill ear piercing call of the Oofloo being let out in the boys face, the eyes remaining open and fixed upon the boy, the Oofloo having clearly caught onto this game just by watching the boys eyes.

Shouten observes such, he shrugs his Shoulders as his ears have grown accustom to the Oofloo sounds over time, due to him being their creator. He stops to the left of the couch, leaning his right side against it as he watches the events of the two. Should the boy blink, and drawback, the creature jumps only to make an attempt at bouncing off his head, and fluttering up the stairs. Should the creature miss however, it simply bonces off the back of the couch and preforms the aforementioned, going to the nest in the mans room.

Should the Oofloo be out of the room, Shouten speaks once more.
"So, what did I miss SHANKS?" The man ensures he says his name louder than the rest, making sure the boy hears the name being used properly. Shouten however still feels that even if this boys name is not Shanik, he must of been lied to upon their initial meeting since he clearly wrote it down as such.

Shanks glares gritting his teeth with his eyes wavering while he recoils away the creature tiny feet impacting against his forehead causing him to roar and leap up trying to claw at it and jump up and catch it.
He leaks his Youki and it swirls upwards and outwards the primal fear that the Hakai Hanshu causes being unleashed to the denizens of the house.

He scoffs and glances upwards with a frown on his face looking towards the boy "The magic headbands aren't working! Ever since I passed that silly human test I haven't gotten any stronger!" He complains crossing his arms over his chest while looking up "Is there some kind of secret passcode??" He asks his eyes narrowing slightly.

He watches the Oofloo rebound off his forehead which causes a soft chuckle, as the boy speaks of the headband however his eyes focus upon it, the steel formed with the scarf, very interesting. He thinks of the best way to explain this to him, since the boy is obviously not in his right mind, or simply not from around here. "That headband does not give you any powers, it simply welcomes you into the ranks of the ninja system. I take it you stumbled into the Genin exam?" The man inquires, he speaks further if the boy agrees to of gone to the Genin exam. "If your really interested in power so much, I'll teach you a thing or two, this way you can go out and bring back some money from missions since I'm letting you live here rent free." The last of his words bring a chuckle from his form, his shaded visage looking towards the boy.

Shanks pauses his eyes widening and his fangs being bared in a growl upon this realization "THAT DAMNED HUMAN LIED TO ME!!" He shouts the scarf wavering and flapping around in a rage, the boy was not actually lied too but he thinks he was promised power.

His rampage is paused by the mans next words and he tilts his head to the left "Money?? Missions??" He asks his brow furrowing, what is it that a ninja does anyway?? He thought it was just some stupid human thing..but it seems really complicated.

Shouten sighs, leaning more on the couch as he gathers the right word. "Missions are tasks the Shinobi of each village do, that bring in currency for the village, while getting a percentage themselves, the more missions a village receives, the greater its economy becomes." Hopefully the boy grasps the just of it, he ponders how complicated this must be for a foreign child to comprehend.

His eyes narrow and his brow furrows further his lips forming a thoughtful frown, humans are weird, his parents never explained anything like this to him...they just fed him and kept there distance...

Knives wasn't helping either, fool thought he could kill him when he was distracted but he taught that little wretch a thing or two!
And later when he's built up enough power...
A grin filled with sadistic glee forms across the boys face as rage burns into his eyes 'He'll kill, the boy and make him pay for his transgressions!!'
Shanks blinks and shakes his head "What was that about power?" He states from earlier finally realizing that an offer was made.

Shouten sighs a bit, shaking his head lightly as the boys facial gestures seem to shift back and forth, grins, narrowed eyes, all of it seeming to reflect some internal conversation with himself. Finally the boy seems to clear his mind, shaking his head and speaking, just now questioning power. "Depending on what your more accustom to on the battle field, I could help you get that aspect higher in power. I know in our little bout you used mostly your strength, though hopefully you have more than that hidden under your bandages" He says casually, interested in how the boy will respond to this.
