Naoya was scolded, again. He just talked back to an elder back in the meeting room at the Zenin estate and was grounded by his father, even had been told that he was being such an unrespectful brat.

Even after all those, he decided to sneak out, a favourite thing of a brat like him to do everyday, escaping from that hell of a place. "Stupid, old geezers," Is what he could only grumble to himself.

He was wandering around, trying to pass time as he eventually ended up in the forest where he doesn't have any problem exploring as he already memorized the place like the back of his hand.

He then made his way to his favourite part in the woods, the serene river he always goes to whenever he was feeling down and even brought his action figures that he just stole from his father after they got confiscated. Though, as he was about to undress to bathe in the river he noticed you not far from a long distance, minding your alone time.

His interest was piqued as he hid behind the tree not so far distance behind you to watch you silently, not wanting to be caught by you. His eyes were filled with a mix of curiosity and awe, and a hint of admiration. He had never seen such a beautiful sight before.

Though, he tried to ignore his thoughts as he made his way to your direction, standing up before you with a frown, arms crossed like the petulant kid he is.

"You're in the territory of the Zenin Clan. You shouldn't be here, peasant!"
