It had been a while since Rotwang's latest adventures and this latest one had come in the form of his auto-didactic jutsu field testing session in which he had proceeded to work out the mechanisms of a slew of multifarious jutsu and eventually mastered their use. Since then, he had gotten back to the grind of his daily life which meant involving himself either voluntarily or involuntarily in various activities that were laid at his doorstep, whether proverbially or literally. These various activities included things such as attending to his ninja studies, accompanying his parents with all the routine inspections that they did of their mafia family's various business assets, going to mingle with the heirs as well as the heiresses of other families which were also ultra-rich and highly influential similar to his own, and naturally also immersing himself in the pursuit of his various interests.
The chief among these was none other than his two true loves. More specifically, these two were his ongoing and ever-burgeoning mad science research studies as well as his similarly long-standing and ever-increasing fascination with all things related to pop culture, history, and mythology. Of course, these relatively peaceful days that he had been enjoying to some degree came to an end in a manner that was as surreal as it was abrupt. This interruption came in the form of a memo scroll that was brought to him by one of his maids
Hmm...what is this memo scroll about? Another one of those summons that I often receive from my parents? Is it another invite to some gala? Is it some project that I have been assigned to do by the Kage's Office? Whatever the case may end up being, I hope it will not become too tedious...as that would be...truly irksome...Rotwang thought thus silently as he stirred awake from beneath the veritable mountain of research notes, medical and surgical textbooks, piles upon piles of failed model designs for puppets and other non-puppet gadgets, experimental chemical concoction recipes, and other such things. He had immersed himself in furthering his mad science research studies since this was one of his rare days away from the usual hustle and bustle of his daily life and academic work and at some point, fallen asleep without realizing it due to his penchant for willfully ignoring his bodily needs, especially that for sleep, and that was why he now found himself amidst the rather chaotic environment which was his exclusive private lab.
After he managed to finally drag himself out from underneath this heap of stuff he had been lying under within the confines of said private lab which he had set up to be located on the grounds of his family's home in the residential district of Iwagakure. Then, as Rotwang perused the memo scroll's contents after receiving them from the personal maid who had come to deliver it to him, he realized that it was a special mission scroll that had been sent to him from the Tsuchikage's Office and more specifically from the Mission Desk therein.
With that in mind, he then set about readying himself for the day's work that now lay ahead of him, specifically for preparing himself for the special mission that he had been assigned to do for the foreseeable future, namely that of traveling to some foreign village called "
Menzagakure" wherein there had appeared some sort of mysterious floating castle that needed to be investigated as thoroughly as possible by various parties from around the world. In Rotwang's case, he realized that he was to be one of the shinobi representing Iwa at this foreign locale and assisting the efforts of the local authorities to delve into the mysteries of said strange castle.
Naturally, he chose to don his puppet armor as well as his usual physician-scientist attire since it was his default attire choice and then gathered some sand. After that, he informed his personal support staff of maids and butlers about his intended destination and gathered the standard recommended traveling supplies since it would be quite a long journey to his ultimate destination, namely the "
Menzagakure" village. Once that was done, he headed off to the Southern Gate of the Iwa village since he knew from his days at the Academy and the lessons therein that it was the intended entry and exit point to and from the village for anyone and after going through all the usual travel formalities with the guards there, he stepped through the gate and headed off on his way to "
Menzagakure" and specifically, the "
Base Camp" area there since that was the designated rendezvous point.
