A village within the sand. (Open)

The marine. The village was more impressive the more yen heard more from the boy as he nodded and smiled once more. Set and ready with the supplies in hand yen was prepared.

"Sounds like a deal. I am curious to what we can find for my princess and have her wear."

Yen spoke and opend the door for ryo as he sure struggled a bit with his lack of strength but in the slight heave the door opend and yen offered. 

"By all means ryo lead my freind"

Ryou gives a puzzled look but smiles. "Um.. Thanks." Ryou walks out. "Come again!" Sakura yells after He left her sight. "So Yen, off to find your princess some clothes." Ryou laughs at calling his daughter princess.

Ryou mind the wondered looking at Yen. So he is from the Hidden leaf, I wonder if he is a shinobi but he has no headband, I wonder if the leaf have strong shinobi, like Ryu or Kuro.

Yen smiled at ryo as he adressed his daughter. It was a grand feeling yet his expression dropped slightly as he opend up.

" i missed her birth since i lost my eye and was in the middle of surgery.... still i love my family with all my heart and soul. But one must pay the bills so duty always calls. Before i met her i worked alone. Now i simply at request do sight seeing on their behaf and  disire for before my son and daughter's birthday to give them gifts. A liberty i never had would be handled by me. To have a fmily watch them grow. Perhaps they can be shinobi!. The world has many possibilities for babies, for the children are the seeds of the future, we cannot set them in stone, but we can sure raise them as parents remembered. Its the same fo a teacher. They sacrifice much for the future. Yet there is nothing but lessons from the past. For you cannot change the past ryo, but the future! That is the real goal."

Yen spoke as they travled through the marine and found the cutest purple dress and an nice  little garb for his son. Respectively buying each one with a bow to the shopkeepers.

Ryou couldn't help Yen with picking out clothes, he had never seen the girl. Yen seemed to know what he was doing so he let it slide. The thing mostly in his mind was Yen's story. "It must be nice having a father like you, My parents died when I was six, they were killed by some rouge ninja along with my uncle now i live with aunt." Ryou didn't even realize he was telling his story. Then a question popped in his head. "How did you lose your eye?" He had noticed his eye patch before but didn't really think about it until now.

Yen frowned at the meantioning of the eye patch. It was a sour moment but honorable as well. Yen however spoke grimly as he recollected the loss of  his eye.

"I was doing some training. It was an honest accident in the end however i collapsed and lost quiet a bit of blood"

Yen nodded solemly at the boy's remark and spoke on a grim note.

"It is hard at times. Even i lost my parents at a young age, but i learned. I watched. I want to give each of my children the care i never recived. Sometimes you must think on your dreams and enact them on others. That is often what i belive. But on to a lighter note. Howlong have you been training ryo?

Ryou responds to Yen. "Well, I have been training ever since I became a ninja so about five months, why?" Ryou then started thinking about how long and hard he has been trying to become stronger. He wasn't faster nor strong and sometimes he likes to think he's really good at ninjutsu but some times he questions. Then thinking back on what Yen said about his eyes patch. "Wait, Training? Are you a ninja like me?"

Yen chuckled as he held the bags of stuff loosely.it was fun seeing an young shinobi fresh and trying to find their way, because they learn with intent to grow. A hunger which sort of staves off in time.

"Yeah i do a bit of work in the village, never the fastest nor strongest however you ses ryo. But i serve konoha"

This was the first time Ryou has seen a Hidden Leaf shinobi and he wasn't disappointed. "What's a Lead ninja doing here?" Ryou then asked not knowing to much about other villages beside his own. Which was sad, he wanted to see more than just desert.

Then Ryou saw Yen's eye patch and thought about train he had to go threw to end up in the hospital. The only training Ryou has done mild compared to something that lands you into the hospital. Ryou thought about these things but decided to ask him later. Which brought him to a different question, how long is he staying here.

Yen laughed once more at the question and shook his head. "Travleling is a shinobis duty ryo my boy. You keep missions and even for sight seeing you see. In time with completed training you shall see more of the world. I say it is loyalty that does it for a shinobi. Not to just ones family, but the village. Where there is violence. One can always make an diffrent decision. As long as you remain honest to yourself and your leaders you will grow. 5 months ryo is a great start, but test yourself press your limits. Grow and be like this village. A major contribution. It is never easy. However with willpower you can accomplish many things. But most importantly teamwork between your comrades and yourself. This is the most important skill of all ryo." 

Yen stated stopping mid way wandering the city and smiling. 

"You trust your mates, and be open. In my experience you will go very far."

Ryou smiles and laughs a bit from Yen talking all philosophical. Even though Yen seemed to be talking like some preacher as a ninja, Ryou took his words to heart. What's the point of fighting as a ninja if I don't fight for anything so from now on Ill fight for my friends and maybe even potential friends. Ryou smiles brighter. "Thanks Yen, say, when are you going to work on the food?" Ryou says with his belly scratching him. He hasn't eaten for hours. That also made his think about the grocery trip he was on. "Oh crap, The groceries!" He yell still holding the idem that he bought not that long ago.
