Michirama, Deucalion and Godric had successfully brought the Man to his knees, well knee, it was a start at least. It felt good to have been able to coordinate a strong and powerful collaboration with the two. Michirama's lightning mixed with Duke's water had stunned and weakened the man long enough for Godric to get in there and deal a devastating blow, on anyone else the combo would have easily killed somebody but judging by the way the man shrugged off all their attacks and stood back up, introducing himself as the Smiling Mountain and congratulating them on passing the first trial.

When the man bowed, Michirama did the same showing respect for him "Take care of yourself!" He called out as the trio began to leave. They were to follow the sounds of the warhorns, the next challenge would be located at the origins of two long and drawn out bellows from the horn. Their travel would take them through more greenery, soon enough they arrived at a small river. Michirama stopped to take in the sights, it felt good to be able to admire the world between fights. They would wait where it seemed they needed to be, but nobody came, it wasn't until five minutes into waiting that a small woman came their way.

Michirama was ready for another fight and was promptly surprised to see the woman wave and point towards the base of a waterfall. He hesitated before standing down and looking to the other two until he finally shrugged and made his way over to the waterfall as instructed. When asked to sit under the waterfall, he did so, albeit with a quizzical expression. And finally came the question, to describe Loyalty in vivid detail, and he was up first. The question reminded him of he first encounter with death when he was asked what he thought he was, he had answered wrong then, thinking himself just another ninja, but after following meetings, he had come to understand he was much more.

Michirama thought for a moment, something that was hard to do due to the water falling onto him. "Loyalty .... is the willingness to die for whatever it is you are loyal to. It's something that should never waver" He would from before nodding, feeling that to be the best answer he could give under the circumstances.
