[center][b] Katsumi, Kumo ANBU Member [/b][/center] After breifing with the Raikage, something she felt proud of and eager to begin her mission, but first she had to pay a visit with this diplomat. Looking at the address she was given, she scanned over the roof tops of the village until she found the one that matched the photo, beginning her descent down from the roof of the Raikages office and towards the house. It wasn't long before she arrived at the said diplomats residence and was knocking on the door patiently, waiting for him to answer. A moment later, an old man opened the door nervously and eyed her. [b]"Hello..."[/b] the diplomat said cautiously. Katsumi bowed her head before looking him in the eyes and squaring her shoulders. [b]"May I help you?"[/b] he asked, still eying her. [b]"The Raikage has given orders to escort and guard you to the Snow Country within the next two days. I am here to inform you to be ready to depart from the village at first light tomorrow, any questions?"[/b] Katsumi asked in a rather uniform tone. She wasn't sure why she asked him if he had any questions, she didn't really leave any room for him to question. [b]"Your safety will be ensured on the path we choose to take, yours and the gift you will be presenting Daimyo. Myself, as well as nearly four teams of ANBU will be ensuring your safety,"[/b] Katsumi said in the same uniform tone. The last tidbit of information was added to hopefully calm his nerves, he looked startled by the news. [b]"First light is awfully early, are you sure that we can't depart at a later time? Maybe at noon, noon is a lovely time,"[/b] he asked, she could hear the hopefulness in his voice as he tried to persuade her to change her mind. Sadly for him, there was no changing her mind once it was made. The degree of hardness in her eyes stopped him from continuing his attempts as he bowed his head in defeat, it was a fight that he would not win. [b]"First light, I will be waiting at the gate at first light as requested of you, ma'am," [/b] he said, before closing the door. With a nod, she turned to leave as well, heading towards the ANBU head quarters, where she would inform those who were told to be on the four teams that they were to be ready to leave with the gift at first light as well.
