Kisame didn't wait to see if Kankuro was following as he started off. The quick way was the most common way, a stone and mortar street, sometimes far above or below the ground of the village itself. The construction had an elegance to it, and it was certainly unobstructed as it wound through the village, but it was also cut off slightly from the rest. Steep stairs, ladders, and in one case, even a flimsy looking rope bridge, connected the road to the other roads through the village. A visitor coming through would be easily seen, and even more easily surrounded with escape certainly more work, if not necessarily much more difficult.
It passed the arena, and the guest housing, and went directly through the other gates inside the village itself towards the main administration area of the village, surrounding the Mizukage spire. Convenient, if nothing else.
Also, definitely not a way to stay dry whenever it rained, or whenever it was particularly misty, which was often. Kisame didn't bother pointing out most things as they passed, figuring the younger man would ask if he was interested, but he did take a glance towards the Hoshigaki compound. Easy enough to see from the main road, the whole thing right in the middle of a lake, and the cliffside the lake butted up against, and, well, Kisame very much enjoyed the reactions of Suna-nin to it.
"What part of your business do you want to finish first?"
That would determine where exactly Kisame led the kid, once they departed from the main street.
