Maiko had to make up a fake story, he didn't want to tell Masahiro that he was from Amegakure otherwise that would make him suspicious. he quickly thought up a lie and said "I am from the Land of Fangs, my parents are merchants who sell things to many different nations, and this was the first time they let me come with them on their journey to Konoha. they let me go off and explore the village while they sold their stuff, and now I am a bit lost, so do you know where i can find a map of the village?"

he hoped that it was a convincing story and also it would get him a map of Konoha which would make his mission a little easier.
