Even if he didn't look it, Manju was quite old. Centuries old in fact! But when you were around for that long, one thing you'd pick up over the years was the ability to read people, and Manju was a wise ape, as well as a patient one. So even though his lack of a brow made him appear as though he had a murderous look in his eyes, he was truthfully listening to the boy's plight. Manju could sense no ill will or malice coming from him, and the fact that he asked of friendship....why....it nearly softened his heart. And because of this, the ape did something he had only done one other time out of the dozens of masters he served. He brought up a massive hand to Hayato's face and touched two spray-can large fingers to his forehead. Hayato could feel his chakra begin to churn and oscillate within him as Manju read his mind and peered through his memories. Within seconds he lowered his hand and stared at him as he boxed, maintaining a death glare of a stare between the two of them.

When Hayato didn't back down after some seconds, the large ape rolled back to crouch on his shorter back legs and bowed his large head in return. "I have seen into your soul, mortal, and you have the purest heart of all the humans who have come before me. If it is friendship and assistance you wish to seek from me and my family...then you shall have it." His voice was loud enough to carry a slight vibration through the enormous room, but his tone was even, almost serene. Manju allowed his affirmation to sink in with Hayato before pulling a small silver dagger from a decadent bracelet [that was actually a necklace] from his very wide wrist. He held out the blade in his vast palm toward Hayato, which was for him to take and draw blood if he so chose. "The beings you see in here are my wives, my brothers and their wives. I will always answer your call, but sometimes, my brothers will come as well. If what you say is true, then know that you shall be summoned back here when you are wanted or needed."

Once Hayato had signed his name in blood with a finger print, Manju held out his hand once again for the scroll.
