Since they make no reply, Team 4 and the two chunin are dismissed to spend the day preparing for Tora Protection Duty the following day. How much of that preparation time is spent recovering from shock is up to them.
The next day…
It’s late in the morning in Konoha, with the sun approaching its zenith, though it can’t be seen all that much with the ominous cloud cover. The humidity is particularly high today though the clouds indicate it may break at any moment with a coming storm. Of course, being surrounded by forest tends to make the humidity situation even worse.
As the hour approaches noon the daimyo, his wife, and retinue arrive at the village gates. The daimyo is a stout but hearty looking man with dark brown hair that is starting to gray at the sides. The thin blonde woman at his side, the daimyo’s wife, fusses over an orange tiger-striped cat in her purse. This is the mission objective, the cat known as Tora. And he does not seem to be having fun right now, his displeasure at being confined obvious.
The daimyo is greeted at the gate by the Hokage and pleasantries are exchanged. From a distance it isn’t clear what is being said, but as it seems things are about to move elsewhere the daimyo’s wife expresses her desire to see other parts of Konoha. Her husband acquiesces to this desire and allows her to go with a few members of the retinue to escort her. As the rest of the party heads toward the Hokage tower, the daimyo’s wife and her escort make their way towards the upscale commercial district.
