Team Kishimoto had all packed up and left right on time, departing for the land of Storm, to find the hidden village of Rain - Amegakure. A young village not yet poisoned by the policies and politics of the ninja world. A place lead by comrades - not by dynasties. It was romantic, when you thought about it. Kishi and his three genin made their way towards the land of storm at a walking pace, not because Kishimoto thought his students couldn't move fast, but because he thought it was important to take in the beauties of the world. Which is what he drove the conversation about, he talked about each flower they came across, as he had quite an interest for Botany. At one point, he had stopped - finding the Crimson Turtle Rose at the side of the road, asking Chikage to pick it up for him, which the Genin did, he smelled the flower, talking about the beauty in the world, that the reason Shinobi are necessary is to preserve these kind of things. 

"If you cannot see the beauty in the world, what do you fight for? This is what we fight to protect, it's the reason we're here." He exclaimed, it wasn't really an invitation to debate him about the purpose of the shinobi, not that he'd silence anyone who wanted to, but odds were the genin would not try and argue with the former Hokage.

Soon came dusk, and they were approaching Land of Storm border. Kishimoto told the kids to get into formation, The Golden Duck formation, he called it - one in front of the target, one behind, and one above in the treetops, in order to protect their VIP - in this case, Kishimoto.

It was quiet in this part of the road, they had come across several merchants and other travelers on their way, but now, it was completely empty, eery. "We're entering hostile territory, there could be non-allied shinobi at every turn, so make sure to be careful. We have to wait for our escort to find us, as we do not know where the village is." He said, very tense, till his face cracked into a smile. "So, let's sit down and enjoy a cup of tea!" He said, slinging down his backpack over his shoulder, bending his hand, with two fingers he dragged out the blanket from the top of the pack, putting it on the ground, getting out the four cups, he sat down and poured the tea, just like they had on the training field earlier the day. "If you brought food with you, it's fine to eat it now." He said, as he dug into his backpack, getting out a wooden box with Onigiri.
