Michirama would nod "That'll have to do, won't it? Still, I'm glad you're on the road to recovery" He would give a thumbs up to Mountain "Don't over do yourself" With that, Michirama would break off with his splinter group and they would set out deeper into the desert. The gourd was nearing on empty which of course meant it was both lighter and a signal that their expedition would need to come to an end soon. For almost 4 hours they trekked the desert, the beating sun became hotter and hotter before it would gradually cool down as it began to approach dusk. When Mountain finally spoke up, announcing that he had spotted a building of sorts over the dunes, the whole group seemed to gain a second wind as they sprinted towards the building.

As Alphonse and Puma combed the building, Michirama would wait patiently with his arms crossed. Soon enough, Alphonse announced what they'd all been hoping for; The Demon Desert Dungeon was right before them. As They prepared to set inside, Mountain accepted his destiny to stand guard. Like Godric, Michirama placed the Goard beside mountain and stepped inside. The interior was dark and gloomy, as Alphonse began to tear at his shirt Michirama tapped his shoulder "I got it" He said as he held his hand out with the palm facing upwards, soon a ball of condensed chakra would appear over his hand, illuminating the way much better than a torch ever could, Alphonse could instead use the rock and oil to light the other torches as they passed while keeping his garments in one piece.

As they descended deeper into the dungeon, they eventually entered a large open room, once it was lit up, the skelton of a robed man chained by the neck to a wall came into view "Hmm ... Judging by the robes, my money's on the Ex-Kazekage". However, before they had a chance to really do anything, Golden eyes would appear in the darkness along with the sound of shifting sands, soon enough they were face to face with a massive beast whose eyes were trained on Michirama's. Godric stepped back, announcing to everyone that this was indeed Shukaku. Having never been face to face with one of these creatures Michirama was equal parts terrified and awestruck. When it made its comment Michirama snapped out of his terror.

"I do ... He's dead now though, ironically. Left to rot in the sands just like you" He would look at the skeleton and then to Shukaku once more "And just like you, if the legends about you are true, he came back, in a sense, through ... Reincarnation. Or so to speak" This would be the first time any of them had heard him talk about just how he gained the Rinnegan. He had no doubt that the Shukaku wanted to take out its revenge, but he had to curse Death for his stupidity, now he was face to face with the repercussions of the actions of his past life "Why did you stay here? You're free from your Jinchuuriki after all" Judging by the way it stared at Michirama, he assumed it was likely going to ignore everyone else.
