Hi, I'm Minato Namikaze

Konohagakure village. The street was crowded with a large number of people. Stalls with various goods were open everywhere. There was a pleasant smell of delicious street food in the air.

Somewhere in the center of the village, on one of the roofs of buildings, dressed in a black T-shirt with a high collar and blue trousers, a boy of about four years old was jumping from one roof to another, doing various acrobatic movements.

Noticing the mesh shadow, he quickly climbed up the mesh fence doing a somersault in the air, but seeing emptiness in front of him, he could not control his body in any way and was already getting ready to feel pain on his fifth point, but surprisingly the landing seemed soft to him.

- "A-a-a! Painfully.. Who in general rushes at people in broad daylight.." - hearing a voice under him, Makira immediately realized that he accidentally fell on a passerby, he quickly got up and helped the boy to stand up, making sure that he could stand, he quickly bowed 90 degrees and turned around to leave.

- "What impolite Uchiha went today, at least they said a word when they apologize. Eh.." - said the boy, forcing Makira to stop for a second, but not deciding to say anything, he ran further in his direction.

Slipping through a large crowd, he looked around until his gaze came across a plate-shaped sign with a small ledge on top, he realized that this was the place he needed, he quickly found the entrance, where he was met by a noisy room in which a large number of people were present who enjoyed the food.

When he approached the counter, he was a little nervous, since this was the first time he had communicated with any of the villagers except his brother. Plucking up the courage, he asked: "Wh-what do you have to eat?"

The man who took orders looked at the boy strangely, then took the menu from under him and handed it to the boy to choose.

Picking up a strange book, Makira examined it carefully, but did not make out anything that was depicted on it. He decided to ask again, trying to be more polite in his words: - "-I-I..I can't read it, you can recommend something that you have the most popular... please "

- "Eh.. Children are now completely lazy, they do not want to learn to read or write, but only have fun, especially a child from the Uchih clan, here, choose this dish, it is not expensive, but you will be full to the brim.." - said the man, making Makira feel strange, but before he could finish, a boy of the same height as him appeared behind him, who decided to intervene: - "I advise you to choose curry, it's very tasty here "

Makira only nodded in response and sat down at an empty table in the corner and less than a second later the same boy appeared in front of him, who looked at him from head to toe and asked: "Are you not a local here?"

Not hearing the answer from Makira, the boy propped his chin on his hand and said: "I have a feeling that you don't seem to remember me." stroking his smooth chin, he got up from his seat and stretched out his hand with the words: "Let's get acquainted, my name is Minato Namikaze and I'm the guy you knocked down a few minutes ago."

Makira experienced a slight shock from the fact that this is again the guy he knocked down earlier, so also the guy who helped him choose a purchase and who at that moment decided for no reason decided to start a conversation with him, but deciding not to dwell on it, he just stood up to shake his hand and said: - "Makira.. My name is Makira.. And I'm not an Uchiha."

With these words, he sat down again in his seat and began to wait for his dish. After sitting in silence for a while, neither of them uttered a single word until a man came to their table with an order. Seeing chopsticks on the table, Makira decided to ask: "Don't you have a spoon?"

- "Who in their right mind will use spoons in this institution, if you want to eat with spoons, take them at home and bring them with you." - having said this, the man took the money lying on the table and left with a tray, slightly snorting along the way.

Picking up chopsticks, Minato began to eat his curry with pleasure, but seeing that the boy opposite him was looking at the plate with a dull look, he decided to ask: "Have you ever picked up chopsticks? Well, you give.. Let me show you how it should be" - taking a plate with him, he moved as close to Makira as possible.

Taking his chopsticks, he took them in his hands and separated them, he slowly brought them to his hand, holding them so that he could use them properly. Makira, who was looking at Minato, carefully watched how his silhouette moved and began trying to take food with his chopsticks, bringing it to his mouth, he slowly put rice in his mouth.

After tasting the food, he immediately attacked it again, until at one point his chopsticks flew out of his hand, hitting directly into the back of the head of one of the customers sitting at the table in front of them. Makira, who still did not understand that one of the sticks flew out of his hands, continued to try to take food that for some reason could not be taken.

Minato, who was looking at his new acquaintance with his eyes wide open, could not help but laugh, he himself apologized to the person opposite and looked at Makira's eyes, which were like a bottomless pit, the longer he looked at them, the deeper he plunged into those eyes, causing him to be covered with goosebumps.

Helping him to get new chopsticks, he helped him finish eating. With their bellies full, they looked at each other, which made Minato unable to hold back a chuckle again due to Makira's slightly silly expression. Once they were both sated, they decided to leave the diner, leaving empty plates behind.

With his hands in his pockets, Minato, walking along with Makira, looked at him attentively, could not help smiling until they reached the playground, where they both sat on a swing and enjoyed the wind blowing on their face. Having completely given themselves up to pleasure, they did not notice that it had been evening for a long time.

Getting up from the swing, Makira looked towards Minato, deciding that he should have been more polite when apologizing, he rummaged in his pockets where he found a packed candy, approaching the boy, he took him by the hand and put the candy in his hands.

Looking up at the sky, he gently waved towards his first friend and said, "More.. See you later, Minato" - he ran towards the house, where a barely noticeable smile appeared on his face. Leaving Minato to look in his direction in surprise until he also went home.
