When Izu got to the grill he was very amused by Rin's use of her Byakugan to see if there were any other benefactors in this feast. Izu was glad that there was a good amount of meat and crab stew, it looks like Leaf ninja knew how to cook after all. He dug into the grub and was surprised by the taste and loved it. It reminded him a bit of the place he went to in Kirigakure and he felt himself miss his home and he wondered how long he would be staying in the leaf village. [b]Next Day[/b] Izu was surprised that he was getting to see the Hokage himself and this made suspect that something important must have happened at the Summit and he was now very curious. Akio was kind enough to let them all come along and upon entering the Hokage's office Izu got his first close up look of Itachi Uchiha. He had heard many stories of the shinobi's incredible skills in the arts of ninjutsu and even though he had problem with the Uchiha Izu was trained enough to know better than to be disrespectful a Kage. "It's an honor to meet the famed Fifth Hokage. My stay here has been good, the village is so different from Kirigakure" he replied to the Hokage. When Itachi talked about him staying longer than expected, Izu already knew that. Just before coming to the Hokage's office he had received a letter from his master about the situation and instructed him to stay in Konoha and assist in the war effort. Izu didn't mind too much, but he would have liked to have seen his parents before this whole started. Just a few days to get ready for war, Izu would try and spend as much time training as he could so that he was as prepared as he could be for the coming battles.
