Ringo
D-rank
Ringo stood in the busy street markets of Kumo. A place he found to be more home than the inn he had been staying at. The energy that constantly filled the area between the hours of nine in the morning and five in the afternoon kept him energized and alive. Besides, people knew him best in this area, at least the shop owners. Although it wasn't exactly him that they remembered, he still felt safe around them.
Walking around the street vendors, Ringo admired the colorful decorations and cheesy puns of advertisements. He took a moment to stop at a small food cart, asking for two dumpling sticks. The man working the cart looked at Ringo suspiciously, obviously deterred by the bandana that rested around his neck. He had to show the man he had money before the man got to work.
Once the money was in sight, the man's face twisted into a large grin. He quickly got to work on the dumplings while Ringo tapped his fingers in sequence upon the edge of the cart. Leaning slightly on the cart, Ringo looked about the rest of the market, slowly inhaling the wonderful smell of the dumplings being cooked. As his eyes grazed through the crowd, his eyes rested upon one striking individual.
A ninja. Ringo knew by the forehead protector bearing Kumogakure no Sato's symbol. He had seen a few ninja every now and then passing by. Yet he had never talked with one. Most of them were men and the last two ninja, while only one had been of this village, that Ringo talked to had only ended with a fight. Restless, he decided maybe this man would be different.
He left the money on the cart as the cook handed him his two dumpling sticks. Ringo took a moment to relish the beautiful sight and delicious aroma of the dumplings before eating them. Impaling his mouth with the sticks and then pulling the sticks out clean. He quickly ate the dumplings and swallowed before approaching the Kumo-nin.
"Excuse me," he spoke up, clearing his throat of the dumpling's glaze. "Aren't you one of Kumogakure no Sato's ninja? A pleasure to meet you. My name is Ringo Ozaki."
