[quote=Sarutobi Haitani]“You have twenty minutes. Meet me at the front of the village. Now go.”[/quote]
Inori had returned to the Yamanaka Clan’s compound following Haitani’s suggestion to gather and assess what supplies she would need in her inventory for the mission that she and her group had been assigned. When the blonde-haired girl spoke outwardly that she only needed fifteen minutes she was not boasting— the Yamanaka compound not only wasn’t that relatively far in distance, but Inori was rigidly organized when it came to her shinobi tools and prepared inventory. It was something that was expected of her from her father since she was much younger; she knew that a unprepared shinobi was a [i]dead[/i] shinobi.

A sentiment she wished Kohaku took to heart herself.

However, despite said level of preparation Inori would’ve been lying if she didn’t appreciate a few minutes to meditate and half-refresh from the [i]forced[/i] training session that Haitani insisted on— an insistence that had led to her being thrown her into a shallow pond.

Following her brief time of recovery, the blonde-haired shinobi found herself as ready as she needed to be; more ready than her friend and comrade was probably going to be. As Inori moved from her compound toward the destination Haitani told them to convene at she couldn’t help but imagine a flustered Kohaku digging through countless scattered tools and items to prepare her shinobi kit as she [i]panicked[/i] about the impending time limit knowing full well if she was late again she was getting more disparaging comments and glares— Inori nearly giggled at the thought of it. Then again, perhaps her words to Kohaku had actually resonated and she would beat her to the destination by being ready even earlier than her?

The doubtful thought seemed to ring relatively true when she arrived on the scene to notice Haitani standing point, with neither of the other two genin to be found. Inori pursed a confident smirk as she put her hands on her hips as she took a look to her left and right.

[color=0054a6]“What a surprise. I’m here first, again, [i]of course I am.[/i]”[/color]
