Sometimes some of the best food can be founded in the unlikeliest of places – prime example being Ichiraku Ramen. A small stand, specializing in ramen and their variations. Because of it's less then stellar outer appearance, others might not give it a second glance.. Just passing it off as a run down dump, with mediocre food at best. May, Kami forgive those fools who believe such a ridiculous notion. For where many see the place as a piece of coal, others like Ritsuka sees it as a diamond. A lustrous, shimmering diamond amongst duller gems. While the food they serve there might not meet the taste buds of a master chief, the overall atmosphere and environment surely makes up for it. And that's why we find our freshly minted genin sitting at one of the few empty stools, patiently waiting for his order of a Curry Miso ramen dish – nothing more then the basic Miso ramen with curry spice added in the mix. The dish itself it one of the few favorite ramen dishes that is pleasing to his pallet – not only that but it gives a nice kick to the sense, especially if one is just about to start their day – like Ritsuka was.

The greenhorn genin had just left the comforts of the Kurama compound in a rush, forgetting to eat breakfast, wanting to get to the administration office early, to get a decent mission before they were all gone. So on his way their his stomach decided to make it's presence known, thus the reason why he's at the stand, having a quite conversation with the owner's daughter Ayame. Who Ritsuka, if he was honestly with himself, wouldn't mine dating, but alias that isn't possible for reasons better left unknown. She's beautiful. That's all Ritsuka going to say about that. So for now the talks will remain innocent and harmless, not like he had a choice, seeing how Teuchi was making menacing suggestion with that butcher knife.

Thus beginning the day of Kurama Ritsuka. . .

Saori walked near, he could smell the ramen and so he decided to sit next to a fellow genin, he said "Hey Ritsuka, nice day isn't it, what arw you doing to day?" he said reaching for a toothpick and he gently placed it in his mouth. He looked at the scar on his hand from yesterday, he put it in his hoodies pocket, he smiled with forgetful grin. One bowl please he said as he reached for his back pocket. Toward his ryo.
