Masumi Inuzaka was traveling to the Village Hidden in the Ash from the Village Hidden in the Leaves and sighed. All she could really smell at this point was sulfur and the acrid smell of heat. She rode on the back of her wolfish looking companion Akiomaru. The telltale signs of the red triangles on her cheeks barely showed. "There better be a decent place to cool down from this heat. Don't you think Akiomaru?" She aked having Akiomaru bark at her in return.<br/><br/>She finally arrived in time to see the firework go off and grinned jumping off of Akiomaru and challenged him to a race. She touched down after the rest of the ninjas had and smirked in confidence. "The names Masumi Inuzuka, I believe the Leaf sent word they would be sending me?" She asked and bowed to Tetsuya. She seemed out of breath as did Akiomaru. Her long hair was back in a ponytail except for the two strands that hung at her face.
