Although there was some hesitation for a moment they began to realize that the symbol of the scroll was indeed the symbol of the Daimyo's approval, fearing the wrath of their Daimyo upon Mikumi threatening to tell him four of the guards quickly hurried out of sight afraid to keep pestering her, all except one, the one who confronted her. "I see, my apologies honored guest, follow me and I'll lead you to the Daimyo." Is all the guard would say before walking forward which Mikumi following closely behind, walking for several minutes they eventually reached a large courtyard with nearly a hundred soldiers lined up while the Daimyo sat in front about fifteen meters away in a chair with tall umbrella's blocking the sun out providing shade, the guard stopped just ten meters short and announced whom Mikumi was, a few seconds later she heard a powerful and commanding voice, "Walk forward eight meters and kneel before me." Mikumi did just that and kneeled before the Daimyo, "So you're the shinobi that they've have sent to aid me in my time of need, a woman no less, what good will that do me?" Mikumi at first was going to hold her tongue and apology for her being late but because of that reaction she forgot her previous plan and spoke, "If you have not witnessed a kunoichi in action then, by all means, tell me what I am doing here and I promise to satisfy whatever you require Daimyo."
She heard the Daimyo chuckle from his chair, "A hot-blooded one huh? Very well let's see you in action, but let me start from the beginning. I have a group of dignitaries from the smaller neighboring nations, but as you know these nations are always looking to overthrow larger ones, this is why I requested a shinobi skilled in armed combat. In order to maintain the appearance of a nation with highly trained soldiers I will be putting on a displaying show of my soldiers practicing, however, there is an issue, most of the veteran soldiers are out on business for me leaving new ones that have hardly touched a blade in their life, your job is to teach them the basics so that I may boast our military prowess to the other nations, good luck because you have three hours." The Daimyo would say waving his hand to shoo Mikumi away and towards the one hundred Soldiers.
Mikumi initial didn't say anything, she looked over the mass of soldiers seeing many faces, some full of excitement, others boredom, and others with disguise, from the crowd she picked two random soldiers to come up to her and display what they know, it was apparent within the first few seconds Mikumi task was no mere one as their footwork was terrible, they put way too much effort into every swing and by vice versa made it look worst. Mikumi stopped their sparing and begun to yell at the large mass of soldiers to get in pairs of two but before she could give any directions a yell emanated, "NO!"
Mikumi addressed the issue and learned that the soldier who made a scene along with others felt Mikumi wasn't right for the job, to settle their worries Mikumi challenged the man who spoke out and four other of the soldiers defeating them quickly and without much effort, now that they had been bested they got quiet and Mikumi officially began teaching the soldiers how to better their footwork, stances, and the proper action to take when countering for two hours, once the final hour approached Mikumi took thirty mintues watching the best soldiers spar and decided to put them in the front so that the the Daimyo's guest would pay little attention to the few that had a harder time learning her material.
In time the Daimyo's guest came and when they sweeped throught the area to watch the soldiers they looked at awe and praised the Daimyo for his well trained army, with her work done Mikumi made her exit from the palace as quickly as she had arrived to go back to Konohagakure.
