I'm Here for my Kid!

He came with switftness over the borders of the water, seeing the massive storm circle coming up he would stop 30 meters out, to not get caught inside of the massive wall but close enough to where his chakra could be felt. Clearing his throat he would let out a boisterous tone to alert someone of his presence," I am Ibari, envoy of Suna and its current Deputy Kage. I am here on orders of Guren to retrieve our Ninja Souji. Will your kage or representative come out to let me in or bring the boy to me," he would still be flying as he awaited an answer and hopefully the handing off of Souji without an issue.

Though Murata had not been informed ahead of time to expect an alternate delegate, the appearance of a lone and confident Suna-nin in the Land of Islands could only have one explanation. Upon hearing reports of his presence at the borders, she arranged for Souji to be informed and to meet up with her so they might go meet their visitor at the edge of the storm circle.

As though in answer to Ibari's call, the storm parts, and the Deputy can see a pair of ANBU slip back into the storm from where they'd been quietly observing him. In the distance, two people step across the waves, slowly coming into focus as Souji [looking particularly handsome today] and the presumed Mizukage, joined by the pale-masked pair that had heard his introduction.

"Pleasure to meet you, Ibari. I keep hearing from people I didn't expect in this matter," Murata says. The ANBU in no way impede Souji's movement, and he is allowed to freely walk alongside her - and at this point, to simply continue walking to join Ibari, even as Murata's entourage stops before the floating deputy. "I'd thought Mizuki would handle this."

As the storm began to split, Ibari would begin to land slowly until his feet were touching the water and with a simple application of the surface walking technique he would stand on top of the water as they approached with Souji seemingly unharmed. The statement by the Mizukage caused him to chuckle just ever so slightly as he crossed his arms," Guren is busy getting into his role as Kazekage and Mizu? Well we can see from my stead being here that isn't a reality anymore. Sorry Souji," he'd rest a hand on top of the boys head for a moment before continuing onward," Thank you for making this pleasant and...not messy. Seems you are quite different than what I imagined of you," it was more of a compliment than a diss, but he would smile none the less as he waited for a response. Once their business had been concluded and the Kiri delegation began to head back, Ibari would pick Souji up with a hand of black sand and begin to float upward," So...We have a lot to discuss when we get back...," he would say as they took off toward the Land of Suna.

[Exit w/Souji]

"Whatever you want to with that information Lady Mizukage...The winds are changing for the shinobi lands and maybe...just maybe we can find something in common to change the regime of the world. Next time lets talk over tea or something," he would give a small smile as he wrapped an arm around Souji and thought about his question. Before they flashed away he would smile and look to the Horizon," To the home of an old friend. The borders of Hoshigakure." And with that the two would disappear in a flash of light.

[Exiting with Souji to Hoshi borders.]
