[NPC: Shuusei Touma : Cloud ANBU Captain]

Quite some time had passed since Touma had been at these gates, yet the approach to the intimidatingly large wall obstructing passage into the village was ever familiar. As were the eyes he felt upon himself as he grew closer. Some ANBU were likely to recognize him, but he'd be going through gate procedures just like any other shinobi. Stopping a respectable distance from the gates, he pulled his passport out from his belt pouch and awaited a guard to process him. Were one to ask, he'd readily hand his passport over to be checked. He was more than ready to be back in the village and he had a report to file still, too.

More than anything he really wanted to get back to his home, though he was certain there was some substantial dusting that needed doing by now. He lived alone, and a house left alone that long was likely to be in need of some love and attention. The kind that meant he'd also need to make a stop by the market on the way to pick up some cleaning supplies. Of course, he was getting ahead of himself planning out the rest of his day. He still needed to be let inside first.

[Hotaka Kyo]

Kyo had volunteered for Guard duty at the gate once more, he had been doing it off and on since he was young, assisting at the gates whenever he had free time and lacked the motivation to do a mission, or when he had a slight injury that would cause issues if he were to do a mission of the ‘correct’ ranking. While he was sure most hated it, it was a simple task, and an important one that had to be done, and he took it seriously, checking passports and inspecting personnel as they came, looking for any of the wanted criminals and focusing on keeping the line moving as well as he could with few hiccups and issues. He liked to think he did a well enough job, and some of the members of Deathwatch occasionally thanked him for his volunteered time, so he felt that was a warranted thought.

Touma had to wait for Kyo to finish inspecting a wagon and their goods, he took the time to check them as he should, and while he knew it annoyed people by the fact that his line was always the shortest, he did it the proper way, checking everything thoroughly and as dictated. As Kyo finished up he handed the man back his approved entry and gave him a slight bow, “Your approved. Enjoy your stay in Kumogakure sir, may fortune smile upon thee.” He added as he sent him on his way entering the city, turning he called out a simple “Next.” And would indicate that Touma should approach and present his passport for inspection, he would greet the man with a simple “Good day sir, please present your identification and reason for entry.” He would inspect it and look the man over, doing his due diligence by inspecting the list of criminals and taking a moment to try and ascertain if the man before him was utilizing any transformation jutsu or other disguises before stamping and handing back the passport, “Welcome home Sir, please enjoy your time back here in Kumo.” He said politely as he allowed the man entrance to return to his home. It was always a good thing when a Nin returned from travel or missions, it meant they were more learned and capable than they had been when they left, even ones that were ranked higher than himself such as this Touma he had just granted access to. Unless he was interrupted by the returning Nin, he would return to his duties and call the next person to be checked for entry that was waiting.

Touma waited patiently as the gate guards processed those ahead of him. He was anxious to get inside, but understood all to well that there was an order to these things and he would just have to wait his turn. As one of the guards finished up with a caravan, he turned he sights next to Touma who still had his passport in hand as he awaited. He stepped forward to meet Kyo and offered up his passport when requested.

"Just returning home from a mission to Fire Country," he replied. The passport would indicate the same. The guard checked everything over before handing the passport back and welcoming Touma back. "Thank you," Touma said, giving a nod to Kyo before allowing him to move on to the next person. With that done, he began walking and passed through the gates, looking up at them with fondness.
