Kashizudoto heard the news: the Hokage and his group had finally arrived in Iwa! They were late as hell, at least to Kashizudoto who had come much earlier than expected to deliver the letter to the Tsuchikage. Though he was only in Iwa for a few days, he had made a pledge to become twice as great as he was before. The result? All in this time, he literally crammed in six short term missions and countless random adventures where he fought annoying girls, monsters, criminals, and even geographic features of the land, met old friends from Konoha, strangers, and animals alike, and saw everything in the Land of Earth from markets to mountains. He'd also ended up joining the Order of the White Lotus, a transnational secret society aimed at achieving global peace; who could have guessed that Master Piandao, the man that he apprenticed under to create his katana, was the Grand Lotus himself! As a result, he received, only a few hours ago, a notice from the jonin promotion council that they had heard of his exploits and promoted him to special jonin. It was a big step in his career as a shinobi; although, the young man couldn't really be all that excited considering the half-awake state that he was in at the time.
Towards the end of the stay, the boy had gotten extremely sleep deprived, as he had missed at least a day's worth of his Zs in all the adventures and missions that he'd been doing. So much so that he was basically sleepwalking through the last two missions that he did; it was dangerous, but the dreaming kid was lucky and somehow managed it (barely though). Only a few hours ago did the boy, with help from two random genin, channel chakra to his brain to enter a kind of power nap, a lucid sleeping state where he (and the two who were helping him) sped up the process of sleep artificially in his brain by a factor of about twenty. Of course, this was no substitute for natural sleep, and it would have very adverse affects if he used it often, so he took note to use it extremely sparingly, only when he was in situations like this where he'd been on super cram mode for a while. Sheesh, this kid needed to take a break, but his adventurous spirit stopped him from doing so. He wanted a new thing to do immediately: he was considering asking the Hokage whether he could skip out on returning to Konoha and instead go to Kumo or Kiri to observe the truth of war with his own eyes. He wanted to see it firsthand.
The special jonin's appearance would look exponentially different than the whole green jacket look that the Hokage saw him in during their private meeting earlier. First off, he had a black swordsman's robe (the rain earlier had washed off all the dirt and grime that was on it a few hours earlier) on him that covered most of his body, a gift from Master Piandao after he completed his apprenticeship under him; that's how Monk Iriku of the Fire Temple recognized him earlier as a student of the Grand Lotus. On his left hip was a bamboo sheath containing the Tentetsutou or the Sword of Heaven, a blade that he had forged out of a four billion year old meteorite while he apprenticed under Master Piandao during that interim period between his meeting with the Hokage and his departure to Iwa to deliver the message. Next to it was a coil of wire measuring about 50 meters long. It had been extremely useful during his adventures in iwa as a kind of spool that he used when lost in the tunnels to backtrack his steps, a thread that he attached to his kunai knife to make sure that he didn't plummet to his death if Fukai betrayed him when he was crossing the chasm, and as a way to propel himself forward to a surface. It was also handy as a way to rappel up surfaces without the Supernatural Walking Practice and to set up traps in order to slow down enemy shinobi. Below it was a holster containing one kunai and three shuriken, just some basic projectiles to serve in a variety of combat situations. With all this, he was ready to see the Hokage again and meet the genin who was slowing down Lord Kenta.
