Leaf Village Gate

((Accepted))

The Hokage's dog ran forward towards the gate, sniffing and tracking a sent down before sitting and waiting for Washi to catch up. The Jounin approached slowly, wind blowing his gentle hair across so that it covered his face temporarily. With one graceful movement he moved his hand across and brushed the hair away before patting the dog gently. He crouched slightly, one eye on the gate and the other on the guard nearby, grinning slightly.

"Lead on, young hound," he whispered in the dog's ears quietly before glancing at the guard,

"Official Mission, personal request by the Hokage himself," announced Washi as he got up and held up a small scroll, "I will be leaving the village temporarily."

He gave a small stare towards the guard, almost willing him on to challenge him as his eyes looked deep into the guard's.

The guards mumbled about actually having to work but nod and open the gates.

From a great desert, back to nice grass and forest. From Suna to Konoha and from the Wind to Fire. The journey took a few days of weary travelling and the ninja hound was leading on Washi as usual.

At last, as the sun rose and the dawn emerged, Washi caught the sight of Konoha. The light beaming onto the village gates. He walked quickly, intending to give the Hokage his urgent news and handed the guards his seal of approval for entry.

The hound barked loudly as if it were also aware of the importance of Washi's message and started chasing its own tail. Washi grinned slightly as he awaited the guards to open the gate.

The guard opens the gate at the sight of Washi.
(Welcome back to the Leaf.)
