After a brief rest in order to restore her chakra reserves and a small investigation of the surrounding area, Ichika recovered her kunai from the corpse of the first man she killed. Along with removing his headband as evidence. With her Sharingan no longer active and her wounds wiped clean, her face had become the monochrome vision of elegance that she was known for amongst her clan. With a swivel of her heels, Ichika turned back to the Genin whom she had placed under genjutsu in the earlier engagement and walked towards him;which caused visible distress for the man. Without saying anything, she retrieved the length of rope which she kept at her hip on her right side and began to restrain the rogue Genin with it. [color=gold][I] I wonder what Takayuki is doing right now...[/I][/color] Ichika thought to herself. 

Placing a hand on his shoulder once she had finished, Ichika closed her eyes and and blocked off her external sense. This was something she hated doing, but it was a necessity when making use of the Flying Thunder God technique to transport herself long distances. It was especially required when the Uchiha intended to transport another person along with herself. Searching her tenketsu network for the formulae connected to the space-time ninjutsu's seals. It took a moment, but she eventually found the secret seal which she had hidden roughly one hundred meters from the front entrance of the Hokage's office building. 

[color=gold][I]Got it.[/I][/color] She thought to herself, prompting a confused response from her captive before the pair suddenly transported to an alley parralel to the central road of the hidden Leaf once the Uchiha had finished infusing her chakra. Once they appeared, the first immediate sight for them, was a seal with the words 'Duty' 'Power' and 'Kindness' worked into its design. The Hokage's office came into clear sight as she pushed her charge around the corner. He whimpered and panted in an anxious stupor as he realised where he was, but not understanding how.

Ichika's sudden arrival within the leaf with a prisoner sparked a few cheers from those that she passed, random citizens and a few faces that she recognised. Her face never once changing expression. The same was said for the Uchiha woman when her presence was met with sneers and looks of vehement disgust. Because of her brother's actions during the Nine-Tails' rampage years before, there were many within the villlage whom did not trust the Uchiha any more. Believing them to serve their own interests, and their interests alone.

But none of that mattered to Ichika, all that mattered to her was that she served her village and by extension, her Hokage. To the best of her ability. As far as she was concerned, that was all anybody who resided within the Land of Fire should worry about. Power earned through service to a just cause was absolute in her opinion. This was made evident by the fact that it was her, bringing home this man as a prisoner and not the othet eay around.

After a short while, Ichika made it to the gates that prevented crowds and queues from forming outside the Hokage's office. They also served as an additional layer of defense in the event of an invasion. Upon arrival, she was met by one of Seiji Hyuuga's aides. Ichika handed off her prisoner, requesting that they have the rogue shinobi taken to ANBU headquarters for interrogation, before ignoring anything else that they had to say; almost brushing off their entire existence thereafter.

It did not take Ichika long to navigate her way to the door of the Hokage's office itself. A few of the workers had attempted to stop her whilst she was walking in order to make casual conversation. But that was not what she was here for, and so the Uchiha had ignored all such attempts at small talk. With a trio of knocks at the door, Ichika was welcomed into the room with a stern, authoritative tone. [B]"Come in."[/B]

Opening the door gently, Ichika strolled silently into the room and knelt before Seiji Hyuuga and nowed her head as she did so. Her respect for the man was absolute, and she [I]always[/I] made that abundantly clear. [color=gold]"Lord Hokage, I bring you information from my investigation in the north. Additionally, I captured one of the belligerents; he is being taken to ANBU headquarters as we speak my Lord."[/color] She explained, never once raising her head to meet his gaze as she awaited his gaze. Instead, she pulled the steel container from her back and held it before her with upward facing open palms.
