[Finally. Finally. What had started as a lengthy casual trip had been cut short by the need to rendezvous with Sakura, the past few days mostly a blur as the group had trimmed almost a week off their travel and hurried to their decided meeting spot.
Minato never wanted to fly again.
But, although exhausted, they'd managed to arrive in one piece and once rooms had been rented and bags were dropped off Minato had decided to check out their new surroundings, plusle, shinx, and poliwag following closely behind him. (He felt kind of bad keeping them cooped up in the Pokeballs, even if they hadn't seemed to care one way or the other.)
He hadn't gone far though, settling in under a tree right outside the Inn after a quick walk around the 'neighborhood', watching with a bit of amusement as Hachi (plusle) and Takeo (shinx) chased and pounced at each other- more play than fight, burning off energy and getting to know one another.
Nice weather, snacks (surely his trail mix hadn't gone bad or anything... right?), he was pretty content to relax and unwind a little himself before their comrades arrived and things surely became a little hectic again.
A group of shinobi were rarely a calm and quiet bunch.]
