It had begun to get dark, the sun was just shy of disappearing into the darkness of the night. It was evening and Yusuke was on his way back. The weather was slightly cold and windy, clouds were all over the sky and it had just begun to rain. Yusuke had spent the entire day in the library again, studying about jutsus and clans. His yearning for learning consumed most part of his day. Especially because he wasn’t strong enough to go on complicated or tough missions. He had only taken one mission so far and that, despite being successful, wasn’t a pleasant experience. Whatever it was though, it was still an experience. It helped him learn and get a general sense of the direction he needed to head towards. He understood thanks to that one mission that he needed to improve. In his current state, he wouldn’t be of much use to anyone.
Yusuke hadn’t expected the rain, so he had no umbrella but he didn’t mind getting soaked in the rain. Despite being young, he didn’t have anyone around to tell him any better. So he enjoyed being rebellious and did what he pleased. Especially because he had just recently moved and lived alone now. He was headed to his one story apartment, lost in thought. ”So there’s a clan that uses the help of animals to add to their combat strength. These clans are seriously interesting indeed. Those unique clan jutsus, those strengths are stuff to be envied..”, he continued to think as he walked through the street. The rain had started to become heavy now and Yusuke, unlike the people around him, paid no mind to it. He was in his own world, thinking about the stuff he had read in the library.
”Hurry up, we’ll get soaked!” said a lady holding her child as the two ran across Yusuke. The mother holding a paper over her child’s head while she got drenched by the rain. Suddenly, Yusuke’s trail of thought was broken as he stared at the sight in front of him. It was then that he realized that he had gotten quite wet. If he stayed like that he would probably get sick, which wouldn’t be good since he won’t be able to study in that condition. Immediately Yusuke dashed for a nearby shelter. Coincidentally, that shelter was a restaurant where a few people were seated. The restaurant was close to his house and he frequented here because he didn’t know how to cook. ”Is that you boy?” said the old restaurant owner lady. ”Hai, I’ve just returned”, he said scratching the back of his head. ”Look at you, you’re all wet, were you sleep walking in the rain again?”, she said angrily fetching a towel placed near her. She threw the towel to Yusuke, who caught it and used it to begin drying his hairs.
”Thank you ma’am” he said bowing to her. ”Don’t thank me, just come by to help around like you do. Look in the back, we may have some dry clothes to fit you”, she said pointing to the room behind her. Yusuke visited the restaurant to eat but also helped out the old and kind restaurant owner. She wasn’t alone here, she had employees but sometimes it got too busy. Yusuke didn’t mind, she was a nice old lady. He moved to the room and after a little while came out dressed in dry clothing. The rain was now drizzling really heavily. ”Stay here until the rain stops”, she said almost ordering Yusuke before leaving to attend to restaurant matters. Yusuke nodded in compliance as he stood and began staring outside.
