You did know a couple things that took the edge off a little bit: First, the Third Hokage was more approachable than you had probably imagined. By all accounts, you could actually just sort of walk into his office and it was fine. There are all kinds of anecdotes from the academy of kids just walking in there to bother him, and they didn’t really get in trouble. Apparently Lord Third was always willing to make time for his people. At worst he’d have you wait outside for a little bit before dealing with your whacky complaints. Also, certain things like the fact that traditionally a genin’s first mission did normally come directly from the Third Hokage himself indicated a man who genuinely did like meeting his people, and liked knowing what was going on with them.
Maybe it was your background that lead you to believe that a cold, detached personality was supposed to be intertwined with power and leadership.
You grab yourself a frigid shower, dress up in your best clothes (Same as your other clothes.), and get going. Walking pace. You had all day to spend on this one task, may as well let it take the time it needed.
You think about the jutsu you’d recommend to Masami and Naoki. Naoki’s was easy: Tell him he should learn to blow wind out of his mouth. There was a reason the water bullet was the first thing you were taught. Building up chakra in your stomach and emitting was, in your mind, the most obvious and basic use of an elemental release. Even Daigo learned fire bullet as his first elemental release too. Thinking of a person blowing a gale of wind was not illogical and an obvious starting point.
Masami’s was harder, if only because electricity was just less logical to have coming out of your face. You had seen ninja demonstrate the lightning release before, and their focus with it seemed to be on their hands. You could very easily imagine telling her that the first place to start was just releasing electricity from her fingertips in a weak to strong stream, depending on her aptitude.
As for you? You wanted an indirect attack that needn’t come from your own body. This would help with stealth, and also just for the surprise factor of an attack coming from an oblique angle. If you weren’t going to generate it from your own form it would need to rely on ambient water in the environment… Which you could generate mist for in a pinch. You’re envisioning generating mist, and then having it solidify into solid spikes of water that pierce out of the blinding fog to pierce enemies.
