"scoping the competition". "No matter how many people you may lose, you have no choice but to go on living." FATEFUL ENCOUNTER
So far, things had been a kind of hit or miss in his encounters with people. Shigure was absolutely happy with his roommate, especially once he found out he was also an acquaintance of his sensei. The Grass Shinobi was both pleasant and lots of fun to hang out with, and he was happy he ended up with an ally as a roommate. However, his first encounter with a Mist Shinobi was far from great, with the girl - Yoru's roommate of all things - showed him a very antagonistic stance solely based on the fact that he was a Leaf Shinobi. Shigure had only recently been made aware of how much the Leaf shinobi were hated by many nations, even those he didn't even know held animosity, such as the waterfall village. Things needed to change, and he hoped that someone as positive and heroic as Keisuke would steer the village into a new age of peace and prosperity, where new alliances could be built.
But that was not going to happen anytime soon, and in the meantime, they needed to face the fact that their forehead protector would make them a living target for many during their exams. If they wanted to succeed, they needed to not only be at their best, but also look after each other, and that was exactly what Shigure was trying to do now. Whenever he was walking around the city, he was consciously seeking out members of the Hidden Leaf of Hidden Grass. Together they were stronger, and together they could potentially help deescalating any issues that may arise.
However, he was also out to get some food. He couldn't get tired of the amazing treats they had available in the city. The local cuisine was not only exotic, but delicious. Many dishes couldn't be found in the Land of Fire, and he was writing it down in a small notebook he carried on his pocket, so that he could try and replicate it back home. This time, he had found a stand selling some incredible Taiyaki, and he bought a dozen of it.
The Hyuuga was carrying the bag with the treats, while eating one of them. "Delicious!" he exclaimed in a joyous tone, as the explosion of flavours filled up his mouth. However, his carefree enjoyment of the day was about to come to an end when his sharp eyes found a group of four people in the distance. He quickly recognize Tokaku, an old friend of his, and Asahi, who grew to become a friend; they even went on a B-Rank Mission together. Shigure would've been happy to see them, if not for their company: it was the angry girl and... The Bakudan.
His eyes widened as he saw them, and with a deep sigh, he put away the Taiyaki he was eating - he had bad experiences with Kasumi and food together - and decided to approach it. Shigure made his way to the group, standing just behind Asahi and Tokaku. "Hey guys." he greeted them, making himself known, and once he said that, his eyes locked on Kasumi for a second, but then went to Taki. He cracked a somewhat bittersweet smile to her. "Bakudan-san... It has been a while, eh?" he commented, making it known that they knew each other, but not adding any further explanation for now.
"So what if it seems hopeless? If it were me, I still wouldn't give up. Embrace your dreams. And, whatever happens, protect your honour as a Shinobi, for the price of freedom is steep."
