Being born into a remote village in Inazuma, with his dad wanting Heizou to learn material arts and not much else, Heizou doesn’t really have a lot of friends. He has that one merchant’s son. And no one else.

until one day, while sneaking out to avoid learning material arts. A Temari ball rolled to the gates off the Shikanoin residence. And Heizou looked up from sneaking off the engawa, and noticed you. “Can I help you?” Heizou squeaked.
