Shinzo hadn’t been in the hidden leaf for very long, in fact he had only just dropped off his personal belongings at home before setting back off in the direction of the Hokage mansion. Instead of simply warping from his house to the entrance to the building, Shinzo decided to take the time to stroll through his home town. Wave after wave of nostalgia hit the young shinobi as each step took him closer to meeting with Kenshin, after all, that is what Takeshi had requested when they were in tea. In truth the boy was just excited to get on with the next chapter of his life. ’I haven’t seen Kenshin-sensei since my promotion. I should probably do something to celebrate this.’ His stomach rumbled as he continued to walk. ’Maybe I should get something to eat.’ A stroke of brilliance flashed through the mind of the Seikon before he broke into a sprint, heading slightly away from the Hokage mansion.

Shinzo began the walk into the Hokage mansion, nodding to those he passed. Of course, he did get some strange looks as he carried two bowls of steaming ramen up towards the offices of the most prominent figures in the village. Balanced carefully across the top of the bowls were sets of chopsticks, one each it seemed. The boy began to climb the steps towards the main branch sennin’s office. ’Not much further now.’ He looked down to the bowls of ramen, carefully correcting his steps in order to avoid spilling any of the prized contents all over the floor. That would certainly spell disaster.
Soon he was there, stood before the door of the main branch sennin’s office, the office of his teacher. He let out a brief sigh as he realised both his hands were now full in order to support both bowls. ’Nice one Shinzo. Hmm, let’s figure something out.’ With that thought passing through his mind, the boy tapped his right foot carefully on the door before him before speaking in an artificially deepened voice. <B>“Er. This is the head Jounin here. May I request entry to meet with the main branch Sennin.” He stifled a laugh at his own failed attempt to disguise his voice. He just hoped Kenshin would be happy to see him, especially because he brought them each ramen!
