Izu face-palmed when he heard Seth mention about skipping out on training and then ask them what the Hokage had said. This was why Mist ninja were better trained and didn't slack off like Konoha shinobi.

"This is why I don't drink, he said we have a few days to prepare Seth! And if you think that slacking off is going to make ready for this war then you'll be the first to die" Izu said to the leaf Chunin with a stern voice. He honestly couldn't believe that this boy was ahead of him in rank with such a lazy personality. Izu then turned to look at Rin and replied to her question.

"Sure I would definitely love to get some training in and prepare as much as possible for this war" he said to the Hyuga with a smile. It looked like Hayashi Uchiha would also be joining them as well, at least it meant that he would have a chance to see what an Uchiha could do and find ways to outdo them.
