Dango seemed to be the food of the hour -- or at least for Saito it would be, as he directed himself down the Red Oak District to Azumi's shop. He'd heard of the amazing shops of Ichiraku Ramen and Azumi's Dangos, but hadn't been to either yet and so he couldn't reasonably contribute to the debate of which was better. Today was the Dango day, tomorrow would be Ramen -- and THEN he'd be able to tell people what he thought.
Stepping into Azumi's, the boy orders a plate of dango as he takes a seat. Waiting for the food to come, an old voice catches his attention, calling to him from across the shop to his left. "Hey... hey, are you Tatsuo-chan's student? From Kumogakure?" The old, shrunken geezer smiled at the young cloudie warmly. "I hope you're enjoying Konoha! Happy holidays, young man!"
"Yes, hello! Tatsuo-sensei is my teacher, I'm Samsara Saito! Thank you, I am loving Konoha so far. Happy holidays! How do you know Tatsuo-sensei?"
"Why, cute little Tatsuo-chan? I knew him when he was your age, even smaller! He sped around here like a little hellion, talking about getting stronger and being a ninja... and now he's a strong ninja who's training his own protege... how the wheel turns..." the old man smiled wistfully, reflecting on life in a way that Saito could not even begin to fathom at so few years. Saito felt happy inside, seeing that Tatsuo had touched so many lives positively and created so many happy memories. It made the young Kumo even more certain of his choice to follow the leafie back to his village. He smiled at the old man. "Yeah he's REALLY strong! And I'm gonna be just as strong, if not stronger! I can't wait to fight him as an equal one day!"
"Hah, that day will be a far ways off, young man! But keep trying!" the old man laughed, the sound a bit of a cackle, as he grins at Saito. "Has he taught you the Rasengan yet?"
A pause. "...the what?" the young boy asks, looking at the older man with a serious expression. The old man takes no note and laughs again. "The Rasengan! Boy, if he hasn't taught you the Rasengan yet, can you really call yourself his student? It's one of the most powerful jutsu there is, and your teacher has mastered it. Teaching it to other kids too, so I hear!" the troublemaking old man continued with a grin on his face, bored with his day and keen on stirring up a little trouble for one of his favorite grown-up leaf kid ninja. Nor did he fail; the minute Saito had heard that other kids learned the Rasengan from his sensei, his mind locked into single-focus mode. Quickly thanking the old man (who laughed about his little gag for the rest of the day), Saito left money for the uneaten Dangos he'd ordered and sped home.
"SHINRIN-SENSEI!!!!!!" the boy called out from the front door, kicking off his shoes before racing into the apartment looking for Tatsuo. "Please teach me the Rasengan! I heard it's one of your best jutsu! I'm ready, sensei! Train me!"
