Kazu watched as the boy seemed disappointed that his snacks were gone, picking up the remains of each item. When he picked up the potato, he pointed it accusingly at Kazu. It was covered in dirt after the fall that Kazu was partially to blame for, he frowned as the boy began to speak.
Luckily, he agreed they both were to blame to an extent. Kazu explained why he had been standing in the middle of the street, "Sorry, never been to any of the other countries before. I was appreciating the city. I'm usually more attentive."
As Kazu offered to buy him another set of snacks, but Hoshi didn't seem to want that, merely opting to hang out with the boy instead. What was interesting was that Hoshi was from Amegakure, a village he had yet to meet anyone from. He seemed to be some sort of performer from the way he introduced himself, something Kazu could never do. Too many eyes watching him do any kind of performance would make the genin far too nervous. "Are you the only person in the exams from Ame? Don't think I've seen anyone from there. You sound like a performer though, what do you do?" He asked, assuming that they were both in the exams at this point.
His pose was pretty impressive, whatever he did he obviously needed to be flexible. Hoshi then answered the question of if they were both in the exams by pointing to the armband they both wore, he'd worn it for so long he'd forgotten it was there. Kazu had to think about how he'd done in the first two rounds, his sensei was proud but it wasn't enough for him yet. He still hadn't done what he'd came here for. Regardless, he continued the conversation as Hoshi led him down the street. "Sorry, forgot the armband was there in all honesty. First two rounds I did good I think, but it's not quite enough yet. I don't mind them being private with the first two rounds, but people just make me more nervous. I think I'd be fine if it was a fight, but any other kind of performing I'd fail miserably." Kazu silently hoped there'd be spectators for the third round though, he wanted two people to see his improvement more than anything.
