Sand ninjas quickly dismissed as Izumi made her way to the Hokage mansion following her orders by doing so. Once she was about to enter the Hokage mansion she was welcomed by a Leaf jounin. "Greetings, we already expected your arrival." the jounin said and Izumi nodded. "I will be your escort. Please follow me" The jounin continued and Izumi did what the jounin asked her to do and followed. She was let trough the long hallways of the Hokage mansion before they finally reached the entrance to the meeting room. The meeting room seemed to be underground as there was a staircase leading down. "If you follow the staircase you should be able to enter the meeting room." the jounin said and a moment later the Leaf jounin dismissed.
The way down was short and before realizing Izumi entered a room lit by torches placed on support beams. Other then the torches there was a large, round table which seemed to be made of stone and five chairs for every kage to sit on. Except for the host of this meeting, the Hokage, Izumi seemed to be the first one to arrive. "It's an honor to meet you again Hokage-sama." Izumi spoke to him in a formal way so that she wouldn't offend him in any kind of way. The five Kage were all pretty much equal in rank but they were all leaders of a village and you had to show respect while speaking to them. It is pretty obvious that Izumi did also expect some respect when being talked to. Even when she was talking to people with an equal rank to hers. Izumi looked around the room but she didn't spot any other people then her and the Hokage yet. It seemed like the Leaf ninjas also were waiting outside. Or were they hiding? Well it wasn't a mayor problem as this meeting is supposed to be a peaceful one and if there were people hiding Izumi would probably find out soon enough anyways.
βAlright, Iβll see you there Hana.β Yoru said. "Stay safe Hanako, later." Koga added and not much later Hanako disappeared from their range of sight. She had to deliver everything home and get ready for some training. Hanako loved to train because it would always help her improve herself at her ninja skills. But the delivery came first. It didn't take too long before she reached her house and placed everything on a table. She would order and sort everything out later. As soon as she finished placing everything on the table she ran outside again. She sure would have to rush to get to the usual place in time for some training with her teammates. Once she arrived there she saw to her surprise that the training grounds were empty. "Were could Yoru and Koga be?" Hanako wondered aloud while she searched for them on the training grounds. Maybe they were hiding after all. But this didn't seem to be the case. There was no one around. Hanako felt a little sad. "Could they have chosen another place... Or maybe... Did they forget about it? Hanako wondered. "I guess I'll better just wait for them...But while I do so I'll better prepare myself." Hanako said and while she said this she went to the nearest log to give it some kicks and punches in attempt to improve her Taijutsu.
