"What is your name, wakamono?" the man inquired. He puffed on his pipe as the boy sat down and prepared himself for a lengthy series of questions.
"I am Seitetsu Genpaku," he replied, "but people call me Tetsune - Iron Leg - Genpaku." He was seated Indian-style and knocked his left hand against one of his shins. The sound of metal hitting metal sounded in the air, which took the master back a bit. Smoke left his nostrils as he continued to seek information on his pupil.
"Well, it is evident that your gender is that of male; now tell me, what is your age? Your height - weight?" Whatever the master craftsman had in his pipe sure caused him to ask trivial things. Genpaku kept his steeled composure and answered straightaway:
"Correct," he nodded, "I am seventeen; I am five-foot, eleven-inches; and I weigh two hundred pounds even. Exactly what else is it that you must know about me before I become your apprentice? You have asked of me all these things, yet I do not even know your name."
With another long drag of his pipe, the older male blew a plume of smoke towards Genpaku. "I am Magoichi. You will refer to me as Sensei if you wish to increase your knowledge of both cooking and Ake Sune, Nasubi." Magoichi motioned towards Gen to follow him into his abode; from there, he poured himself a cup of sake as he continued to find out more about his Eggplant Pupil.
"You are a village shinobi, yes? What rank, exactly?"
Genpaku bit his tongue. His jaw muscles flexed before answering, "Yes, I am a D-ranked Genin of Kusagakure-no-Sato." Magoichi was throwing shots back by now.
"Annnnnd~ you hail from these lands of Grass, I am assuming."
Genpaku simply nodded.
"What are yo-" he threw back another sake shot, "What are your views? As in, what is your alignment, if you have any?"
Genpaku hesitated for a moment. He wasn't too sure if this was a trick question or not in regards of the Red Leg master wanting to train him or not; however, as he saw the man throw back round after round of alcohol, he shrugged and thought why the hell not.
"I could be considered as Neutral Evil, I suppose. I'm not moved by any of my village's motives, be them chaotic or lawful, but I do have hostile tendencies." He figured that it didn't really matter at this point what his alignment was. Magoichi seemed interested enough in him it seemed. Upon thinking this, his master let out a loud burp before wiping his mouth.
"Alright, little Eggplant. Now what do you specialize in? I know a view ninja arts, but crafting and Red Leg is where my heart is." Finally a simple question that Genpaku didn't mind answering. He didn't love talking about himself, but he did love his proclivities.
"I am a Ninja and Body Art specialist," he wanted to suggest the man teach him some ninjutsu, but kept his thoughts to himself. As he answered this final question, Magoichi stood up and turned away. Genpaku thought that the man was denying him tutelage; yet that had not been the case.
"Well, that's all for today's lesson," the drinker said, as he turned to smile at Genpaku, "meet me here tomorrow... I think I'll head to sleep, now."TETSUNE GENPAKU
