Fourth door on the left lead towards a Library, a vast space filled with hundreds of thousands of books and scrolls dating back to the beginning of writing and the knowledge of Chakra. These books and scrolls hold a vast amount of information, detailed data about anything that one can imagine. Unfortunately, due to the nature of which these have been found, some of the written text requires decoding to understand, others are sealed in complex Fuuinjutsu that make it either impossible to open or difficult to understand. Regardless, one is capable of finding a nearly endless amount of information, seek for the truth of this universe. The location is usually empty at most, rarely do members of the Shinto clan wander here, especially during such important period.

Maguro created 3 clones as he ran. They all split up into the castle. The real Maguro ran turned around a corner and ran into a room, slamming the door behind him.
He didn’t have much time to look around as he ran, but seeing all the books here, he mentally sighed, remembering his last encounter with the library. Libraries made him feel stupid...
He ran behind a bookshelf. IHe pulled some books off the shelf, crammed into the tiny space and transformed himself into a book. If anyone happened to open the book, the pages would be filled with pictures of Maguro using his sexy no jutsu.
Clack, clack, clack. The sound of heels kissing the tile ground echoed through the empty library, inaudible mumbling soon followed each step. Unsure words left what seemed to be a female's lips, books violently trashing about which was immediately followed by a sobbing apologetic tone. "M-Miss Himiko, you shouldn't push yourself too hard!" A male's voice rang through the nearly-empty library, a tone of uncertainty as if question if they were allowed to remotely speak. "Shut up! Shut up! ShUt uP! sHuT Up! They infected them, my kids, all of my kids, they were mine, mine! They infected them, those damn, ******** Muramasa! Aaaaah!!!" A bloodcurdling scream consumed the library, books scattered violently like bullets all throughout the area. "Miss Himiko!" Sobbing soon followed, a mixture of uncontrolled emotions could be felt and heard through this interaction.
The entrance door to the library opened once more as a hoard of footsteps could be heard rushing inside, it sounded as if ten if not twenty individuals had rushed inside the building. A few voices interacted between the group, trading their greetings until one familiar voice spoke out openly. "Himiko-sensei, the prisoner Uzumaki Maguro has managed to escape.... Somehow he overtook the Cortex Link, his mental capabilities were far beyond our understanding." A loud smack filled the briefly silent room, the sound of more books crashing onto the ground as Leon painfilled voice left her lips. "You useless piece of s**t! Aah! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry! No, no, don't be scared... It's okay, it wasn't your fault.... Right?" Another pause filled the room which was followed by movement.
"We've already contacted the higher-ups, Takuma and the remaining Tengu's are cleared of a potential cause, shall we do a sweep of the castle for the escapee?" No responses could be heard coming from the individual named Himiko, instead, footsteps gradually grew closer towards Maguro's location as the rest followed, all twenty-two. "Why... Why are you all following me? GeT AwAy! Go FiNd HiM! Go! gO!!!" Within that instant, the group rushed out from the library and out to the hallway, only two remained.

Maguro listend to this woman, who seemed to hate the Muramasa. He hadn't heard of them before. Were they like the Masamune? Spiders that could turn into people? So, now her books were full of spiders!? He grew nervous thinking that he might be surrounded by spiders. What if one crawled inside his cover?
Maguro's lightning clones' memories came to him one by one. One had gone into a vault, another into a prison, both of those had me their ends. He was still waiting on the third... what he didn't know was that the third had plummeted off of a bridge and was still falling.
Then he heard Leon and someone else. He wanted to smack this other woman back but... he needed to stay hidden. Why the Hell did he always take peoples sides after they did horrible things to him!? That was frustrating him more an more. Virgil had been horrible too... though he'd been kind at other times.
So,there was something called the Takuma and Tengu. How many divisions did these guys have!? He felt totally out of his element. Science and then a Library, and having to remember so many groups.
He heard someone getting closer, but he couldn't really see because he'd put his eyes inside the book on one of his pictures. His heart beat faster as they approached... or it would have if he weren't currently a book. Instead he just had to resist the urge to flutter his pages.
Himiko continued her ramblings, incomprehensible words that were followed by random screams and cries. Himiko screams grew closer and closer, with every few seconds the sound of shelves crashing could be heard. "Miss Himiko, this isn't a productive way to study. Lord Chaigidel will require an update soon..." Himiko paused, her voice a whimper as she tightly gripped at the shelf that Maguro resided within. "That b*****d.... ********... Shinto b*****d... How, how dare he!" With a powerful swing, Himiko brought the large shelf down towards the ground potentially with Maguro. Had Maguro somehow maintain his secret, Himiko and her company would make their way out of the library. "We should find Takuma, he may provide information about the infections... I believe he is currently in the Council of Light." Although, had Maguro revealed himself, the Uzumaki would be met with a strangely... Attractive female who wore a long dress, her ivory locks hung widly and untaimed, her expression.... Haunted, not by Maguro, but by something deep within her own psyche.

Dammit! It was just his luck that she picked the one bookshelf in the library the he was hiding in.
Maguro felt the bookshelf fall over and found himself thrown to the floor before the bookshelf fell on top of him causing the transformation to be undone. Looking around, he couldn't see much, with the bookshelf on top of him, other than this person's feet.
He wasn't sure whether he would be detected or not. Would they notice the lump under the bookshelf? Well... he would transform once more just in case.
into...
He'd seen enough Masamune to know what they looked like basically, so he now transformed into a little girl with white hair and pink eyes. Hopefully they would write this off as a child's mischief... though Maguro had no idea where he was really, or how this place operated.
Himiko's eyes veered towards the collapse bookshelf, the lump was a bit unusual by even more was the sensation that Himiko picked up on....A sensation of a living organism, Himiko made her way towards the bundle of books and immediately started to remove them, to her surprise she was met with a rather young Masamune even in standard Masamune aging standards. A scowl found itself on the female's expression as she spoke. "Another one of Takuma's pathetic offsprings?! Two wasn't enough and now he's birthing a third!" Visibly annoyed, Himiko arm reached out to grab Maguro's lengthened ivory locks in an iron-clad grip. Had this proven successful, Himiko would violently lift the child up and make her way out of the Library as she muttered to herself, speaking about individuals named, Yuno, Takuma, and lastly.... Kini.

Maguro rolled and got to his feet as she reached for him, but he wasn't used to having such long hair and he suddenly found himself jerked back by his head as he took a few steps forward. "Oi, let me go Obaachan!" He shouted as he failed his arms and legs at her wildly "That's right. I'll tell my daddy you were mean!"
He decided to try and ride this out. He couldn't really hide in this castle from sensory types... but he might be able to hide in plain sight.
She mentioned that Takuma was Kini's father as well. He hadn't really heard anything about Kini's past though... Kini had never wanted to talk about that. Would Kini's father help him? If he was in this place... she doubted it.
