Mas seems to approve, at least. 

They reach the next outpost without major incident. Shinrei leaves the genin to trade scrolls with the outpost's lieutenant while she steps inside to talk to the captain. 

The handoff happens easily enough.

Elaise wants to do her own check of the perimeter.

Same. 

(There's no argument from the outpost.)

Great.

Hopefully there's nothing to be seen, but.

Doesn't look like it, even with Amajina and Mas joining them...

Well. Good.

Shinrei emerges after a short while.

"I've handed off the last bit of our mission," she says. "We need to return to Mist as soon as possible, with the new information we have."

"...That's good."

She nods. "We can afford to take more of a straight shot - and if you three don't mind being carried by my clones or riding summons, we can move very fast."

"Faster is better, however it happens."

"Yeah. I can get pretty fast in water, but - not as fast as you, definitely, especially not without making myself really obvious..."

Sayuri nods.

Nod. "Okay. Get a quick bite to eat, then we'll head out."

Elaise breaks out the rations.

Well, it'll be nice getting back to the village and real food, if nothing else.

One thing that can be said for the village, it's got food in it.

A couple of the outposts in actual settlements have had food, but yeah they've been at a bit of a dry spell on those...

So, eat and then they can move out?

Yup.

Mas can keep up with Shinrei, but most of the jaguars have more trouble, so they'll be swinging out into the ocean - fewer obstacles, fewer people to notice Shinrei's speed - and Shinrei can carry Sayuri, one of her clones with Amajina, and Mas can carry Elaise.

That works.

She ends up running through the night, but - they're to the gates of Hidden Mist by morning. She lets them down to walk on their own before they're in sight, and she does want them approaching without too much suspicious urgency - still, to the central tower, to let Mei know that there's something to discuss.

Shinrei's able to get in to see the Fifth Mizukage without much waiting at all (unsurprisingly, given what her genin now know about her).

So! This is Very An Issue and it touches on Very A Classified. Is this a good place and time to talk Very A Classified.

(She does not actually directly say that but it is communicated.)

Mei sighs and rubs her temple with one hand while tapping out a coded message to the ANBU guards with her other hand. The shutters on the window flip shut and the seal-based defenses activate.

"I sent you on a C-rank, Shinrei-san. You truly have a talent."
