Jr stepped into the front room. He was wearing a cloak similar to his fathers, except Jr's didn't have a life all it's own, and there were a pair of wings colored orange stitched into the back of it. He carried the Kage hat in his right hand; he didn't want to wear it while traveling.

”You two ready? Let's get this journey over with,” he said to Kinzoku and Hanako, heading out the door. He wasn't going to fly because he'd probably leave them behind, so he settled for running instead. The child took off down stairs and across the bottomless moat to head through the village and to the exit.

The plague was now gone, meaning he didn't have to run through the tunnels if he didn't want to. He remained above ground, running along the normal path that people took. What would take a normal person several hours seemed to take the child several minutes. Running past several other villages but giving them a wide berth, before long one could see the many trees that surrounded Niwa, signaling their arrival.

”Right behind you, little Kane,” answered Kinzoku, re-fitting the gourd upon his back again after standing from the table in the front room. He followed the child outside, beginning to run with him when he took off. To be as small as he was he was incredibly quick.

Kinzoku managed to keep up with the child the entire time. Down the front steps, across the moat, down the main street of Makkura and out into the wilds. He kept his eyes and nose open just in case someone tried to pull an ambush. There didn't seem to be any immediate threats, but that smiling man may have had family members looking for revenge. In which case Kinzoku was always up for some exercise.

It may have seemed difficult to run with a gourd filled with Iron Sand on his back, but Kinzoku had no difficulties. He followed the child across the countries until Niwa came into view, somewhere he'd never been. This would be interesting...

"After you." She spoke simply as Jr entered the room and spoke. It seemed that Kinzoku was ready as well, and off the trio went. Jr was incredibly fast, as could be expected, but Kinzoku and even Hanako were able to keep up. They sped through Makkura and headed off to the foriegn lands. Trees rushed by them as they moved at incredible speeds. She stayed active in being aware, just in case someone was stupid enough to attack. Not only was she able to protect her comrades, she could track anything in her area with her doujutsu. A perfect companion for Jr to have on this trip.

Within a short time period, the appearance of Niwa was before them. The trip was rather short, which was fine with her. The sooner they got this over with, the sooner they would know how to prepare Makkura for the coming days. It was time to meet these Kage.
