Kisame nodded at the name in return politely and waited patiently while the Suna-nin got his weapon sorted. Puppets were always interesting, though he hadn't had a chance to really get a good fight in against a puppeteer yet. Maybe the kid would spar sometime before his visit was over.

But that would be fore later. Kisame grinned. "So, the quick way or the dry way?"

Though with the coming rain, the dry way wasn't likely to stay very dry for long. Kiri had never shied away from the wet, after all, but if the kid wanted to duck from awning, to overhang, to covered walkway, it could be done.
