Just before he could reply to Haruka, Ren was alarmed by something he had never once heard before. Even though the Haruno had been a regular for years and ordered his 1000th curry two months ago, he had never heard the old Chef speak, not once. But he couldn’t now clearly and see the stocky little man, with a round face, narrow eyes, and buzz-cut hairstyle, engaged in conversation with a Genin he remembered seeing in a file. –This must be the guy that the Tuchikage was telling me about.- Thought Ren as he turned back to Haruka who had her head on his shoulder.

“I don’t think you’ll be good, flower power, I know you’ll be.”

Even with the sarcastic nickname thrown in there, Ren’s words were forthright and spoke nothing but the truth, although there were a few things he left out intentionally. For there were always things in the future that could take anyone aback, even a Jounin like him or her. No one would be able to do ‘good’ forever yet without mistakes one would never become good. Ren frowned a bit and broke free from his train of thought, never showing anything to those around him, and turned his gaze down at the big-cheeked face of the Genin he remembered had the name Bolt. The looked about to explode in laughter for a short moment but then decided the curry was more interesting than Ren. Ren didn’t know what to make of it and showed an overdone, duck-lipped, look of sullen sarcasm on his face while muttering.

“Tch, such a little brat. At least tell me you’ve fixed the bridge when coming over here? The east winds are about to kick in which will jumping to the other side impossible from this direction.”

While Ren said this, the chef started roping his cart to large surrounding rocks as if anchoring it for an expected change.
