Returning Once More

The carriage ride was long, but not without its merits as the salt and peppered haired male stared out into the nighttime sky, eyes filled with wonder for once to see the clear black sky twinkling with stars. He couldn't remember the last time he was able to do something like this, but it was business which only made it...lackluster. He slowly fell asleep as he continued on his way but upon morning he would find himself within the country of Haven and soon the Gates of Hoshi. The last time he had been here he found revelation and purpose which transformed him into the man he was now, but now he needed information and clarity on a situation that could prove...interesting if things went well. As the carriage stopped, he would step out and place the Hokage hat onto his head and stepped forward to be allowed in.

[Entering once let in]

Well, well wasn't Hoshi becoming the popular place to visit. Every since that move to allow foreign shinobi in they have come in droves. Now one was coming in a carriage a kage no less. Kiri's vassal, well that was dependent on how the summit went. The summit Hoshigakure was not invited to, yet was told about before it began by the leader of the Sand village.

A random person greeted the Hokage at the gate. Before Akabayashi made a wood clone and sent it to recieve this foreign dignitary. "Greetings kage of the Leaf. I am Akabayashi, welcome to the village hidden in the stars. I will be your guide to get you where you need to go and also provide protection against some of our more audacious populace. Please sign in on the visitor's log and I will escort you to wherever it is you are determined to go. The Nova would state handing him the guest log attached to a clip board along with a pen.

The real Akabayashi was 160M off watching the people at the gates with binoculars his Mangekyou active to see at greater distances. The wood clone told him everything happening telepathically. So, there was no longer a reason to watch the kage instead he was looking at the people coming in behind the man and his carriage.

When the kage signed in the clone would follow/take him to anywhere he wanted to go. With the true Akabayashi following behind at distance he couldn't be seen, yet still near the clone.

Letting in Ishimaru. Possible exit.

Ishimaru looked at the male for a moment, quizzical yet not caring of whom had met him. Walking over to the desk he would sign in and turn back to his supposed guide," I do not need the guide for I know whom I am looking for and I have been here before during the last Chuunin Exams. Now depending on if he is available that is for time to tell. What I need your assistance with however is making sure your Kage knows I am here and when I can meet with him. I think I will be taking a stroll to meet an old friend in the Gardens providing he is...awake," if that was all that was needed he would begin to walk into the village proper, his eyes setting on the North of the village to the Water Gardens, the place where his tale took a turn.

[Exit into the village]

Listening in the clone would relay all the information to Akabayashi telepathically. "The real me acknowledges your request. Someone will be sent to notify the kage of your presence. Where should the courrier meet you with the meeting location and time?" Seeing as the kage was here before likely he had a hotel or inn in mind.

The clone and Akabayashi wouldn't follow Ishimaru or his carriage. Instead he would leave to go inform the kage of their newest arrival. He would remember the place if any that Ishimaru told the messenger to seek him out. Things might just get interesting around this place.

The kage's office was quite the distance from here. Hopefully, the fire shadow wasn't in a rush. Based on wanting to go his own direction he had a different destination in mind. Otherwise he wouldn't ask someone to inform Ayato he'd just go straight there.
