It just got a lot hotter. [Entering Suna]

Well no, apparently she wouldn't be downing the water. Instead, her attempt to do so was cut off by Ari. Tilting the bottle upright, her slate eyes would lock with her village mate’s for just a moment, before she would produce a short growling groan followed by, “Alright mom.” The moment mother turned around however, Risako would begin to chug the water anyway while placing her attention upon Haru and Kasuga, and why the latter was plopping down in the sand to pout. 

Shrugging her shoulders, the girl would feel some discomfort. “Hm.” Then the stomach cramps came, followed by the lightheadedness and dizzy feeling. When what is essentially a doctor tells you not to do something, it’s probably advice you should take. Quickly, she would attempt to shove the bottle back in her bag, and if Ari had noticed it somehow, she would play off the symptoms. The last thing she wanted to hear was "I told you so."

Raising her left eyebrow as another random man made an appearance, Ayumi cocked her head to the left. Well, what a surprise. Having long decided to let Haru (or whomever really) handle the situation, the girl sat down on the ground, just half a meter away from Risako. Upon her derrière's landing on the ground, the girl witnessed Risako ignoring Ari's advice as she continued to gulp down the water. After advising the younger one, the older woman made her way towards Kasuga and quietly sat beside him. At that point, Haru was the only one standing amongst the group (excluding those from Sunagakure). Ayumi would puff up her cheeks as she stared off into space, waiting for the group's entry to the village to be granted.

It seemed someone who understood the situation approached in the form of Haru, leaving the gates unattended was not an option the genin could take. It seemed the two men who had spoke were involved in some sort of rivalry. It then appeared that another man appeared over him, the ninja moved once the shadow was over him. Not going to get the jump on me. The ninja thought as he moved out of the way of the incoming Nobunaga. 

The man said that Ryu was relieved, but the genin had no idea who this guy even was. "Have we met?" He said to the new arrival who Ryu presumed was from his village. He heard the two ladies talking about drinking water quickly and he pointed to Risako. "I wouldn't..." Too late she already drank it all. "I wouldn't drink too quickly it may cause you to get sick."

He then summoned a shadow clone and sent it to the kazekage informing him of everyone from the leafs arrival. He would inform Suki if she was available.

Hopefully this was not going to be a time consuming process, Haru was annoyed with the fact that the Hokage decided to make things so secretive, if Suna had been informed of them coming beforehand then they'd probably be in the village by now and close to being done. Some good news was the fact that the Hokage's son backed down and didn't try and create a scene in front of Suna's gates, following after that was the arrival of a new person. 

This new person seemed to have more authority which provided hope for getting things going, though there seemed to be some confusion on Suna's part. The first Suna ninja seemed to not know who this new one was which was surprising. The first Suna person ended up making a third shadow clone which cause Haru to question what exactly was going on. Was Suna messing with them? It didn't matter, if they were up to no good then it'd be dealt with as needed, for now they needed to get the assignment over with. Haru reached into the inside of his jacket and removed two letters and held them up while keeping a tight grip.

"The Hokage sent for two things, first has two letters for the Kazekage, he wanted the letters to be hand delivered and read by no one else but the Kazekage. Second he sent us to investigate Salzem and determine what needs to happen with him." Haru could only hope this explanation would be enough.

Nobunaga watched as Ryu stepped aside, not understanding that he was no longer needed, unless a fight were to break out. But Nobunaga doubted that would occur. Maybe he should have told Ryu in words since he didnt seem to good at reading body language. Not being the talkative type, Nobunaga chose to ignore Ryu's question as he had more pressing matters to deal with. 

It appeared that he was right in assuming Haru was the leader of the group. The giant Suna nin remained composed and calm as he watched Haru reach into his jacket and produced two official documents. Nobunaga looked at the letters but not did take them as he was instructed it was only for the eyes of the Kazekage. He slowly nodded his head once he herd Salzem's name. Nobunaga had not met him in person however he knew all about his situation. 

"My Apologise for making you wait out in the heat for so long. I will ask that all of you sign in first." Pointing towards a small building just inside the village gate, Nobunaga continued "Leave your name, purpose of stay and estimated duration of stay. Those of you who do not need to meet with the Kazekage immediately can remain there if you so choose to. We have food, refreshments and clean clothing if need be." The village knew of the consequences of walking across the scorching sands of the Wind Country therefore they had a post prepared for visitors to get out of the heat and recuperate. "Follow me and welcome to Sunagakure no sato." Nobunaga would turn around and led the company of Konoha nin into the village, leading them to the post and then those who needed to to the Kazekage.

The more he sat in the sun the more he realized that he didn't necessarily like this situation. Laying back into the hot sand, he stared into the burning sky not bothered by the sand that had been burning his skin only lightly, no he had simply been filling up the time that it took for him to get through with this though the sound of them finally be let in the village was enough for the male to sit up and stare at the gates. Speaking of staring he had just happen to notice an odd figure standing there...watching? Now he couldn't tell because he didn't have super vision, but he could definitely see a person standing there for whatever reason. Standing up he made a single shadow clone and that would be his signee while he went and explored the village of Suna once again. The last time he had been here was rather short so this time, while he had the time, he would go about looking. While the others were busy doing their thing, he walked into the village but not before stopping just beside Haru," Hope you've been paying attention to the one just standing there like an odd duck," with that he simply began to disappear into the village. Meanwhile his clone would look at the paper and think. Signing with the following "K. Ametsuchi, and a few other things since he did not know how long they were staying, he left them blank and poofed after doing what he needed to do.

(So if not needed, that would be my exit)

Ari felt slightly dejected that Kasuga ignored her presence, still, she had things to do and couldn't create clones to do her work on her behalf. She stood up and briefly brushed off the sand from her butt before walking over to the newest arrival. Signing the paperwork with her name, 'Ari Hiyu' and purpose of stay, 'Jounin Exams.' Finally, the estimated time of stay. Ari scratched her chin briefly with her right hand before writing down 'One Month.' Unknown to her, the man holding the paperwork was a Hiyu too. She'd never met a stranger capable of using the Hiyu bloodline before. Perhaps because of this, she didn't know how to recognize one of her own. Ari would wait for the others to sign the paperwork also before following them to the visitor's post.

Getting tired of the sand burning through her shoes, the dry heat, the sun burning her skin, the lukewarm welcoming... Ari was eager to get inside the village.


[Presumably exiting to the village.]

Risako was rather annoyed with this Sunagakure ninja who told her what Ari had just warned her of. She had no need for any extra advice, especially not from these people, so the only answer the boy would receive came in the form of a glare from under her brow. Once told they could go in, she stood up, swiped the sand off of her backside, and signed the paper with her name, 'Risako Akara.' With that, she would follow along with Ari, or Haru, or whoever she was supposed to follow, didn't matter to her.

[Exit? Ye? Nay?]

The girl watched as the random man who appeared (other than that other young boy) answered Haru. She assumed that he was a member of the village, but who knows. He had asked the group to sign in before entering the village to which the girl responded with a sigh. Whether it was a sigh of exasperation or a sigh of relief, that I should not reveal and hence, you should figure it out yourself. Anyway, after seeing the rest of her teammates got up onto their feet (with the exception of Haru because he never sat his bottom down), the girl would get up onto her feet and dusted the sand off of her derrière before making her way towards the booth (or whatever it was, you tell me) to sign in. 'Ayumi' was left on the paper as her eyes skimmed over the rest of the document. Adding the word 'Inoue' after her first name, she had decided to leave the rest of the paper blank before following whomever she needed to follow.

[Exiting unless stopped or whatever I guess. I dunno]

He'd go sign in listing his name along with his rank as "Jounin" while reason for being there was listed as "Deliver letters to Kazekage" and with that as they had all signed in, he'd leave with the group to go see the Kazekage. 

[Exit]
