Yuuka sighed as he leaned back against the railing of the rooftop he was sitting on. Apparently the lag time to receive a mission was pretty high at the moment... Still at least the mission office had agreed to keep him in mind, even if they said it would probably mean working with strangers in order to get one, the income would be highly appreciated. He looked up, blocking the sun with his hand, thinking, 'Another scorcher... Why did we decide to settle in a desert anyway...?' He huffed before getting to his feet and dusting off his pants- he had dressed in his on-duty clothes having hoped for a mission, after all- glancing down at the road below to make sure he wouldn't land on anyone before hoping down. He made his way down the streets, looking around at the stalls wondering if it was worth getting something to eat, or if he should just head straight to the training grounds.

“Oh dear, it seems I'm a few Ryo short,” the boy said, as he looked through his coin pouch. On the other side of the stand, the man was getting more and more impatient. The boy was surely taking his time, and now he was “a few Ryo short”? Bah.
“Well, that's too bad, missy. No coin, no groceries,” he said, taking the basket he had been holding out of his hands. The boy looked at him, first shocked, then confused, before opening his mouth. “I'm a boy,” he said, pointing to himself, as if it was obvious. The man just replied with a muffled “If you say so,” before addressing another costumer.
“Wait, please. Can't I come back with the Ryo tomorrow? I'll be sure to have them by then, I promise,” he tried, but the man ignored him. Sighing, the boy massaged his temples. What was he to do now? His mother was waiting for those groceries. He could not just come back empty handed...

Yuuka eyed the merchant as he disregarded the -apparently very feminine (...not that he could talk if it came to hobbies...) boy, stopping in front of the stall. "Hey." he tried, holding out a string of coins, annoyed when the man ignored him. "Oi." he tried again to be ignored by the man yet again.
His eye twitched, having already been in a bad mood from the heat and then the mission delay, then to have this guy ignore himself and another shinobi, was really worsening his mood... He tried one more time, "Sir..."
The guy continued ignoring him in favor of gossiping with a woman- she wasn't even buying anything.
He slammed his hand on the wood of the stall, feeling viciously satisfied when the thing shook and startled the man, snarling, using the rude form of the words, "Hey, you!"
The man scowled, turning to him, snapping, "What do you want, brat."
Yuuka threw the string of coins at the man -more than enough to pay for the basket of food, snagging the basket and shoving it at the other boy, grumbling as he pulled him away from the stall, "Next time, buy from Akimichi Kyoko the next street over- she's a lot more amiable to shinobi than this...person." He said the word person like a curse, having dealt with this particular merchant more than once.
Calming down Yuuka eyed the boy, stating, "You... Look like a Senju."

Kaga was shocked to see the other boy suddenly walk up and wave a bunch of coins, trying to get the man's attention. When none was given, he struck the stall, causing Kaga to give a little jump. Finally, the things were paid and the basket was given to him. “T-thank you,” he said, not sure what else to say.
As he was being led away, the other boy told him to do his shopping at a local Akimichi store. Blinking, Kaga nodded. “Yes, I will make sure to do that from now on. I'm still pretty new to this village. It's so big compared to the my old one.” Just then, the boy noted that he “looked like a Senju”, to which he was surprised. “You can see that? You must have an extraordinary level of perception.”
“Oh, where are my manners?” he then said, as he presented his hand. “Senju Kaga, Genin. And you?” Smiling sweetly, the boy waited for a response from the other male, who, judging from the symbol on his sleeve, was an Uzumaki. His hair, however, told a different story...

Yuuka shrugged, placing his hand on the back of his neck when the boy suggested he had an "extraordinary level of perception," muttering, "Not really, s'just your hair facial features." He took the other teen's offered hand, introducing himself, "Uzumaki Yuuka, genin- and, just because everyone wonders it, including members of the clan, yeah I am really an Uzumaki. There's just some... Issues surrounding the circumstances of my conception and birth." He sighed, then blushed as he muttered, "Ah, uhm... I don't usually lose my temper like that, so you know. That guy though, he really dislikes shinobi. I'm not sure what his reasons were, for moving to a shinobi village." He tilted his head at the Senju, trailing off, "So, uhm..."

”I see. I feel I shouldn't ask what that is,” the boy said with a subtle smile, when the other talked about issues surrounding his birth. It was not any of Kaga's business. He then explained about the other man's tendency to dislike shinobi, and how he would not usually lose his temper, to which Kage just shook his head. “We all lose our heads sometimes.”
When the other boy then seemed at a loss for words, Kage smiled brightly. “Well, since you helped me out, I guess I'm indebted to you, huh?” he said. “I would treat you to something, but that would seem a bit … off since you just paid for my groceries.” he paused in thought.

Yuuka gave a bit of a grateful smile at the other genin for not prying, and apparently being at least relatively non judgemental about the statement. Then tilted his head as Senju seemed to ponder how to "repay" him, or return the favor at least. "You don't have to repay me." He hesitated then, haltingly, stated, "Eh...but, if you aren't busy tomorrow, could you go to the Mission Room at around 8:00? I've been waiting a while for a mission, but they don't have many for a single genin, it seems. It would be a favor to me, if you really want to repay me. In the meantime, I'm mostly looking for something to spend time on."
