The mid-afternoon air was warm with cicadas chirping in the trees. Kaori made a brief return to the village to retrieve additional supplies, kiss her mother and siblings farewell, and give her best wishes to the rest of the clan. She was going to be gone for another long-stint due to information she received about Tea. There was another Dragon Statue that needed dealt with. Not only was there a Dragon Statue that needed to be tend to, Kaori also discovered something very alarming. There was someone there that she needed to rescue; someone that ONLY she could break-out due to her exposure to the Dragon Statues. If she had other people, other people she couldn't trust, she probably couldn't handle dealing with the Dragon Statue. It's not that she didn't trust those within the village, but history has taught her that trust shouldn't be wantonly distributed to just anyone.
Making her way to the gates, she pulled out her passport from her pouch and readied it for whomever would stop her from leaving. The gate procedures are kinda silly, but it's the way the ninja world works so it's something she'd have to deal with. She was ignorant of the change of the Hokage and thus she was also ignorant on IF there were any changes to the standard protocol with gate procedure. Only time will tell.
