Ryou walks down the hall, stopping at the Hokage's office. Once inside, he bows to the Kage, presenting his inquiry.
"Lord Hokage, I'd like to request leave from the village. Kyuu and I-"
A huge, man-sized jellyfish suddenly floats into the room, its tendrils moving in a wave. "We need to go see King Inazuma! Ryou needs help honing his skills!"
"Show respect to our Hokage, Kyuu!" He scolds, then bows his head shamefully. "It is true though, Lord Hokage. We do need to seek the jellyfish monarch, Inazuma. I'm sure you're aware he resides in the Lightning Country, but I hope you'll consider my request." He shoves Kyuu's mass to the floor, awaiting retort.
(( I made the BIGGEEEEEEEST mistake ever. ;3 Ryuu=Kyuu, I got them mixed up myself. Also, the Hokage knows about Ryuu's blood seal and all that jazz.
