With a courageous heart, Toroi approached the older shinobi, his determination shining in his eyes. "Excuse me, sir," he spoke with respect, "I'm Toroi, and I've been practicing my ninja techniques diligently. I was wondering if you could offer me some guidance and advice to improve further."

The older shinobi regarded Toroi with a keen interest. "Toroi, is it? Your dedication is evident in your training. I see potential in you," he replied, a hint of a smile on his face. "To become a skilled shinobi, it's crucial to master the basics. Focus on perfecting your foundational jutsus and taijutsu. Remember, patience and persistence are key."

Toroi listened attentively, absorbing every word of wisdom from the experienced shinobi. He thanked him sincerely, feeling a newfound sense of encouragement and motivation to continue his training.

Over the following days, Toroi diligently worked on improving his techniques, applying the advice he had received from the older shinobi. His progress was noticeable, and soon, some of the other children in the village began to take notice of his skills.

One day, as Toroi was practicing his shuriken throwing, a group of children gathered to watch. Among them was Aiko, the carefree boy with a mischievous glint in his eye, who had always been the center of attention in their age group.

B. He feels proud and shows off his skills, hoping to impress the other children, especially Aiko.
