To a tower near the back, in front of a cliff soaring over the city (with four faces carved into it; the one second to the left is Tobirama's).

(Just out of sight, several powerful guards fall into formation around their group.)

On the way - "What were your intentions coming here?"

Permalink

"Here to Konoha, or here to this world?"

Permalink

"This world."

Permalink

"We were meditating on Anakin's vision in an effort to gain more information about it. This had unforeseen effects when the subject of our scry turned out to be engaged in combat with one who can rip holes between realities."

Permalink

Thoughtful nod.

"I've already spoken to your wife and grandson," he says then. "So some of the formalities can be handled quickly - they've indicated a desire to accompany Uchiha Tobirama for the near future."

Permalink

"Yes. She is one of the few points we recognize."

Permalink

"There are no significant problems with that, so long as Kiri approves unaffiliated guests for her."

Permalink

She nods.

"Is anything required to expedite this?"

Permalink

"They have a delegation here, who can't make that determination but could go ahead and ask the questions Kiri will have regardless."

Permalink

"Very well."

Permalink

Onward, then. Setting up the meeting with the delegates doesn't take long at all - the Hokage had warned them to expect this - and their questions are mostly rather simple. (There's some mental probes from one of them - not genjutsu and not mind reading, but it feels like a much more focused version of Tobi and the Hokage's sensory powers.) Affiliations, intentions, history with Kiri, relationship to Uchiha Tobirama, understanding of and willingness to follow the country's laws and Kiri's rules for guests...

Occlus answers the questions honestly, though many of them are meaningless, offworlders as they are. She is a polite brick wall to the mental probes.

Permalink

They don't seem surprised by 'polite brick wall,' and don't push very hard. (They do keep trying, of course.)

Kiri's main rule of note is they'll have an escort within Kiri's borders until the Mizukage judges otherwise. This seems to be a near universal procedure.

Permalink

Sensible. And acceptable.

Permalink

Alright.

They'll send their evaluation with the Hokage's message; it'll likely arrive well before Uchiha Tobirama will need to set out.

Permalink

Conveniently so.

Permalink

After:

"I'd like to spend the meantime trying to make a vehicle for you guys," she says. "Kiri's really far, and I can't Hiraishin there."

Permalink

"A fine idea. A design from our world aided by your sealwork?"

Permalink

"My thought. It'd be a good first major project, too."

Permalink

"I would be happy to assist."

Permalink

"Me too."

Permalink

"It'll be fun."

Permalink

Good.

Her brother had his own tense questioning session with the Hokage during their talk with Kiri's delegates - Jakuan's going to need to stay somewhere Konoha can monitor for a while, but she usually stays at her grandfather and his brother's place, which should count... Does Occlus and her group want to stay there, as well?

Permalink

If it won't be too crowded. She prefers having space to herself.

Permalink

It isn't. Her great-uncle really likes being surrounded by nature, and, also, usually hosts important guests like the daimyo, so there's a small compound surrounded by a forest.
