It would be ungrateful to be unhappy about rain while Konoha suffered from a snowy winter. It would be further ungrateful to complain over receiving a high ranking mission, particularly a diplomatically important one, so soon after promotion or after such a dismal result of her last mission.
Yet, she was ill equipped to deal with either. The reason she now stood within the gates of Ame instead of Konoha was the very rain that had so thoroughly soaked through her traveling cloak this time. If she hadn't slipped in the rain last year, she would never have become so tangled up in the game the leader of this village and hers insisted on playing with her.
She would also likely still be chuunin. Her path to jounin had been difficult enough that she couldn't say delaying that would have been terrible either, though.
Regret served her nothing good, however. She could do no more to change time than she could refuse the request for this mission that she so completely lacked the skills to properly accomplish. She simply hoped that, whatever the result of this would be, war between Konoha and Ame would not be due to her actions.
Which was one primary reason she would keep any dissatisfaction to herself. And any mention of her ill fit for this mission. The man who hired her had shown to be easily annoyed by her disagreeing with his decisions about her.
In truth, though, her primary concern at the moment was getting inside to where she could officially be welcomed by the God of Ame. If only because it meant she would be dry.
