Izo wasn't too surprised by Kohaku response to both of their criticisms of her tardiness and he simply rolled his eyes again. It felt like she was giving them an empty promise, but at least she didn't try to deflect their criticisms with useless excuses. At least it seemed that they wouldn't be getting into any needless arguments for now and that would not be the most productive course of action.

It was only a moment after their talk with tardiness that other shinobi not part of their team suddenly appeared and Izo almost jumped into a combat stance with his hands gripping his bo staff tightly. He still had his staff ready, but he didn't take any stances and instead chose to look at the newly arrived leaf shinobi with a suspicious gaze. Izo still wasn't use to seeing non Mist ninja appearing suddenly and not being enemies. It was his natural extincts and he didn't want to dull them with kindness.

The shinobi was there to give them their mission and explained the details. They were to go to the palace of Daimyo Hidematsu and escort his daughter to a village in the south.

"An escort mission, great I love them" he said with his voice full of sarcasm. These were not the missions he looked for, he preferred the ones where he got to battle stronger opponents to test his abilities. No matter he would still take this mission and do his best to complete as best as he could. Izo almost laughed when Haitani gave them the choice of either leaving now or in one hour. [i]Really? You want to spend time before going on the mission? Man these Konoha shinobi have weird ideas of what's acceptable attitudes for a mission,[/i] he thought to himself.

"Why is that even a question? We should leave immediately! We are shinobi, not children!" Izo said in a very serious and commanding voice. He may be just a genin, but that would not stop him from trying to keep the group on task and push them in the right direction. 

"This mission is what is most important, not how much rest we got. I am at full strength so I have no need for any resting and Kirigakure shinobi never get rest when they are given a mission, we start the mission instantly" he said with pride in his tone. Izo gave a twirl of his bo staff and waited for Haitani's decision.
