Alright, so Kashizudoto had just abandoned everything that he was going to do at the market, going out of his way to help a blind boy find the lost shipment of citrus fruits in the forest. What happened? It all started at the marketplace, as was already said. Kashizudoto was going there to buy some fresh fruits. As he made his way to a reliable kyoho stand to buy some, a boy bumped into him. It took Kashizudoto little time to notice that the boy was blind and offered him a hand (not in a literal way - as the boy seemed to expect at first) in finding his way to various stands. Somewhere along the conversation, they both found out that the other person was a genin, much to the satisfaction of both of them. The boy said he needed some citrus fruit, so Kashizudoto brought him over to a reliable stand that he knew sold lemons, oranges, and other citrus fruits; however, to his surprise, the stand was empty. The vendor told him that, for some reason or other, the shipment - supplied by Kodashi Town - didn't arrive on time. So Kashizudoto - along with the blind kid - decided to travel all the way to through the Dense Forest to that town to find out what happened. They made a dead right turn at the village gate, and now they were jumping through the trees, Kashizudoto making sure that the kid was alright.
Truth be told, Kashizudoto had never actually been in the Dense Forest. It was the cover that protected Konohagakure from enemies, but it was also, consequentially, the most dangerous part of the wilderness. Rumors had it that there were a lot of bandits, missing-nin, and other criminals scattered around there - bad news for the blind kid - along with, of course, dangerous wild animals and toxic plants. He really hoped that this kid's enhanced sense of smell would help him to keep himself safe. The place was extremely dark, a result of the tall trees covering up the sun's rays. That gave fungus the perfect conditions to grow all around - many being very toxic. Bats and such were also a common occurrence - at least the blind bats could sympathize with Takashi. The moist, cool air was a little unsettling in such a setting, but Kashizudoto was sure that the boy, being blind, would be able to use the air as one of his cues to replace vision. He hoped that one day this boy would get a pet, maybe a dog or even a cat, to be his set of eyes.
Kashizudoto had done about five missions before; however, he'd never done one off the cuff without any wages like he was doing now. He was just doing this adventure out of his heart, for the sake of protecting the village and the next generation of shinobi. This was something that almost any Sarutobi - excluding perhaps his vile, mentally insane parents - would do. Since this wasn't really an assigned mission, he wouldn't be reporting back to Konoha's Administration Building. However, he would obviously be reporting back to the vendor on the situation, hopefully with citrus fruits and a mission complete.
Kashizudoto definitely had his doubts that this boy's headband was there for anything but show. That is, he doubted that if a criminal showed up, the blind boy would be ready to fight alongside him as an equal. Perhaps this would change if Takashi got himself a seijutsu pet, of course. So, at least for now, Kashizudoto would have to protect the boy. Of course, like any Sarutobi following the Paladin Path of the Will of Fire, he would "defend" in his own way. That is, he would use offense as a defense. This sort of style was widely criticized, of course, by the Sarutobi clan members following the Sentinel Path of the Will of Fire, who preferred direct defense over offense. So if he was going to protect the kid from anything, it would be through beating the living crap out of the criminal(s) before they could get to him. An effective strategy, at least in his view.
