The flagship of Kumogakure, the Raikage's personal vessel, had made the travel from the Land of Lightning to the Land of Water a bit slower than the rest of Kumogakure's participants. This was partially due to the slower nature of her signature vessel, but also due in most parts to the unexpected nature of its travels. Nariko hadn't been planning on attending, so stocking the ship had taken time, and she'd already left later than the rest.
It took a little coordination, but the ship moored at the dock, and Nariko exited the vessel, making her way to Kirigakure from Ota.
She didn't have an honor guard like she usually would in these cases, but times were tough in Kumogakure, and she had left her forces there just in case things escalated once more while she was gone. Nariko trusted Shimiko but she didn't trust the Orthodoxy to follow through, even with Shimiko on her side.
Wearing her Infinity Armor over her Jounin outfit, Nariko sported the cloak and hat of the Raikage, showing her affiliation with the Major Nation to the north. The ship hands would deal with all the docking procedures, but for the time being, Nariko had to head into Kirigakure and watch the Exams progress.
-Exit to Kirigakure.
