Jirou woke up early knowing that today was the day when they would get to meet with the Hokage. He knew that the Hokage was very busy, which is why he had made an appointment the day before to schedule a time to meet. Jirou got dressed in his familiar coat and pants. His coat had his family’s crest on the back. This was the symbol of Raijin in white emblazoned against a blue background. He didn’t really have nicer pants, but his pants were clean at least. After washing up Jirou got dressed completing his outfit with the shoulder strap that went across his chest and was where he wore the katana on his back. Taking a quick look in the mirror and making sure that he had everything, Jirou headed downstairs with Kashikoi where Hiro had already placed a bowl of millet porridge and fruit on the table. Jirou sat down and ate the porridge and fruit. Kashikoi ate his breakfast that had been placed down on the floor for him. Once they were done with their breakfast, Jirou gave Hiro a nod calling Kashikoi to his side, “Let’s go Kashikoi. We have a meeting with the Hokage today.” He waves back to Hiro with a big smile and starts outside.
The morning was exceptional as Jirou and Kashikoi traversed the distance to the Hokage Mansion. Kashikoi of course made several stops to both relieve himself and mark his territory along the way. Once they arrived at the mansion they both looked up at the imposing building, “It looks smaller from farther away. Anyway let’s see if he is ready to see us.” Both of them walk inside the building and make their way up to the Hokage’s office. Approaching the door Jirou knocks on the door and waits for a response.
