Yuhara's first reaction had actually been to refuse the so-called companion, because he felt it would be more convenient to operate alone. However, after thinking it over, he decided that acting alone wasn't appropriate... As the official envoy of a great nation, he should at least have some basic pageantry. Once he reached Sunagakure, Yuhara's face would no longer be merely Yuhara's face—it would also be Konoha's face, and the Land of Fire's face.

"Is there a problem?"
"No. Come with me."
The mission seemed somewhat urgent. It might
