I met with Sensei today. He not the friendliest guy on the block. He doesn't like to talk much either. He looks just like your regular, short, run of the mill old man, but I think there's a bit more to him then just a faded robe and a wise smile.
I walked into the dojo, and surprisingly, it was crammed with tons of short, tall, fat, and skinny men everywhere. Most of them were covered in sweat, like they were fighting for their lives(Losers). I felt a little wierd being the shortest one in the group. I'm tall for my age, but let's face it, I'm no giraffe.
It didn't take me long to find Sensei. He was in the middle of the room, scanning it like a hawk. As a sign of respect, I bowed before I spoke.
"Hello Sensei, I am Zutto Hetosawgem of the Hidden Leaf Village. I'm here to ask for a job as an assistant to you"
Yama surprisingly did not question my appearance, but instead began to quiz me on my abilities.
"Do you have any experience, or a special skill?"
Ok...
"I was a top class ninja in the Leaf Village, and I specialize in taijutsu. I've been on over 20 S-ranked missions involving combat," I said.
"Great. Can you do yard work?" asked Yama.
WHAT!?
Now almost the entire dojo was either staring at me or trying to eavesdropping on the conversation. I was slightly surprised, because I felt like I would actually get the job. I felt a bit queasy too.
"Yeah, yard work is easy," I responded casually.
"Perfect. There's a small cottage behind the dojo. You can stay there. You start working tomorrow. Today unpack and settle in. When your done you can train for the next class. I make dinner, which is usually rice. Do you mind?"
Wow.I couldn't believe my stroke of luck. I could train, I gad a place to live, and I got PAID!!!! I felt like I had conquered the world. I almost didn't respond.
"O.K.," I said hiding my happiness.
I had gotten a job. By myself. Alone. But who cares, I GET PAID!!!!!
