Leiko had been walking north west with her two escorts for some days now, all she had been told so far was to follow her escorts. All Leiko could do so far was to make a educated guess, which meant that they were either going to Tsuchi no Kuni (land of earth) or towards that no name country with Takigakure no Sato (or village hidden in the waterfall). Of the two, Leiko figured that they were most likely going towards Takigakure no Sato. Since Iwagakure no Sate (village hidden by rocks) has more then enough shinobi to complete any job, without the help of outside shinobi, like her.
"Ugh, why is that no name country so far away. I am getting fed up walking there, if it weren't for these two. I am sure I would have been there by now." She thought to herself. She would never voice her complaints ofcourse, since it would be unbecoming of a future clan head to complain about such trivial things. She would rather suffer the boredom in silence.
Why wasn't hokage-sama clearer about the mission, all he did was give two scrolls to Kenta (her uncle) before dismissing me" Leiko thought to herself, while thinking back about her meeting with the Hogake.
{Flashback: 4 days ago}
Leiko was standing in her clans private training grounds, going through some basic kata's in order to warm up for her dailey training schedule. As her personal servant (Kaoru) came up to her. "Leiko-sama, we have received word from Hokage-sama. He requests your presence in a hour, the message further explains that you should prepare for a extended mission" Kaoru explained with a slight bow, as she handed the scroll with the message to Leiko. "Thank you Kaoru, please gather the items I will need. While I finish of my training session and take a quick bath." Leiko replied as she turned away from Kaoru and started her kata's again, clearly dismissing the young girl in the proces. "Ofcourse, Leiko-sama" Kaoru replied before walking away, in order to quickly arange everything that Leiko would need.
A hour later Leiko was walking towards the Hokage's tower with her uncle Kenta and her niece Haruko, she was a clan heir afterall so it was normal for her to have some form of a escort while she was outside of her clan compund. As she approached the Hokage's secretary, she gestured towards Kenta and Haruko to wait for her as she spoke to the Hokage. "Hokage-sama is expecting me." Leiko told the secretary as she approached the young woman. "Ofcourse, go right in." The secretary replied with a smile as she waved her hand towards the door, showing that Leiko could just enter the Hokage's office. "Hotaru Leiko reporting for duty, Hokage-sama." She said with a serious tone of voice as she entered the romm. Just as she finished her sentence, both Kenta and Haruko also entered the room. "Reporting as requested, Hokage-sama." Kenta calmy said as he moved closer, in order to stand next to Leiko.
"Ah, Kenta-kun, Leiko-chan and Haruko-chan, just the people I wanted to see. Your mission is described in the first scroll, the second one is for Leiko-chan once you reach your destination." The Hokage said with a small smile on his face, as he tossed two scrolls towards Kenta. "If there are no further questions." He continued dismissively, before turning to some paperwork.
{Flashback end}
"We have arrived." Kenta suddenly said as he stopped walking. "All you have to do, is walk about half a mile north and your at the meeting point." he continued as he produced the second scroll and tossed it towards Leiko. "Ja matane (see you later)" Both Kenta and Haruko said while forming a single handseal and dissapearing in a swirl of leaves as they used a Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique). Leiko walked the last few hunderd yards while she read the scroll she was given.
Leiko-chan,
I have send you to Takigakure no Sato in order to receive training in the use of your bijuu. Good luck and make your village proud.
Sincerely,
The Hokage
ps. Please be nice to the other students.
Just as Leiko finished reading the scroll, a small clearing with a waterfall came in to view. Most noticably were the two person who were standing closer to the waterfall, and seemed to be talking with each other. But she was still too far away to make out what was being said. Leiko puts away the scroll, before she walked over towards the two people. As she got closer, she observed their appearance. Both persons were boys, and if she had to guess they were both older then her aswell. judging by the headbands they wore, she was dealing with a shinobi from Kumogakure no Sato (or village hidden by clouds) and a shinobi from Kirigakure no Sato (or village hidden in the mist).
"So these are some of the other students the scroll mentioned. And considering I was send here for training in the usage of my bijuu's chakra, then it would be logical that these two are jinchūriki aswell." She mused to herself. "Konnichiwa (good afternoon/hello), I am Hotaru Leiko, and I am from Knohagakure no Sato (village hidden in the leaves). What are your names?" Leiko asked tenatively, not because she was shy or anything, but more because she didn't know how they would react to her presence. They were afterall shinobi from different villages.
