[While her mission was near to Konoha, it still wasn't all that usual to stumble into other shinobi. Civilians, depending on where in the country they traveled, were a possibility...but two shinobi right after one another was highly unusual.
It was even more unusual that the first would be Uchiha and the second Uzumaki (no other clan in Konoha had hair like that, it's an immediate giveaway). She squinted at the figure who approached, remaining still for the moment.
There were again, no signs of henge or genjutsu, which meant either reality or skill far beyond her own. And if it was reality...this was...Kushina Uzumaki. Wife of the Fourth Hokage, and shinobi who'd been given leave to rebuild Konoha's lost ally country.
...That didn't help her suspicion that this was a trick, honestly, but she wasn't about to disrespect a current world leader who also happened to be the wife of the previous Hokage.
She might ordinarily...bow or something, but that would be ill-advised considering there were three unconscious shinobi behind her and...other shinobi popping up out of the woods everywhere.]
...Ah, Lady Kushina. I'm sorry, I must have led these three too close to the travel seal. [Because that...seemed the only logical answer why she came across multiple uninvolved shinobi.]
