It. Was. Time! Time for Kitsune, Rei, and the time sliding Shiro, to make their trip to Konohagakure. It was gonna be a long trip. Or, it would’ve been, ordinarily. But they were going by airship, so it’d be a breeze, instead. The airship was one of the more luxurious models available, and it’d been kitted out with all sorts of tech. It even had private cabins for passengers, with ensuite bathrooms, a fully loaded kitchen with everything the heart might desire in the pantry. Kitsune had also, of course, had one of her maids ensure that all the clothes she’d need had been brought on board. She wasn’t going to Konoha looking below her status.
While the airship would be departing from the Torre Empirea, all traffic still had to pass by the gates for inspection. Luckily, the gates were tall as all heck, and after the advent of airship traffic, had been expanded upwards, so they could handle inspections of airships coming in and out. This meant a short pitstop at the gates to be allowed through, which should be a mere formality at this point, as the trip had been in the works for weeks at this point.
So when the airship docked with one of the gate towers, Kitsune walked from the bridge down to the saloon where the entry door was, and took a seat, waiting for her travelling companions to join her so they could show their passports to whomever got assigned to let them out the door, so to speak.
