The Renku Hibachi-A date for two.

As Yamato and Rita was heading out of the tsuchikage office and making there way towards renkus hibachi Rita looked at Yamato and asked him what his favorite dish was. That was a hard one cause the BBQ joint had a lot of great dishes and some of them was not even meat dishes.

" That's a hard question as I find all of the menu there to be delicious. But if I had to pick a dish I would say it was the BBQ pork cutlets over a bed of fried rice which is then placed on top of a seasoned lettuce leaf."

Yamato said. They would then round the corner outside of the tsuchikage building and then took a right. The walk took about 5 maybe 10 minutes and that was if they was taking it slow. Once they arrived Yamato would open the door for Rita and waited for her to enter the building.

Yamato could tell Rita was jokingly mocking her surprise as she walked though the doors which Yamato opened for her. He could tell by the sound of her voice as she spoke that she was dying to try the food out as he could see the slightest twinkle of saliva on the corner of her lip. Once inside the owner him self greeted them at the door once he noticed that he had the tsuchikage making a appearance in his restaurant. He guided the two of them to there tables and placed a menu in front of them. Rita would then stretch her hand across the table and told Yamato that dinner tonight was on her, she did not want him to think that she was a gold digger just looking to get his money. She explained that tonight's dinner was about good food, good company and celebrating the raise of iwa.

" I did not mind paying but if you insest I shall not argue. And do not worry I was not worried about you being a gold digger."

His words was sincere and warm unlike his normal cold and calculated self. The waiter returned and asked them what they wanted so Yamato took a quick glance at his menu as he found what he wanted.

" Yes I would like the pineapple meat gold concor with a bottle of houshu sake please."

Yamato waited to see what Rita would order as he placed the menu in front of him, the good thing about these types of restaurants is you could order as much as you wanted.

Rita had caused Yamato to blush as she teased him telling him that she would it worth his while. He knew what she was talking about but the way she said it made him think of something completely different. When the waiter looked at her for her order Yamato grinned as she had ordered the exact same dish that he had told her about on the walk over, she also ordered a bottle of plum wine. Rita had mentioned that since his ascension he had probably had lots of woman trying to take him out to dinner but what made her like Yamato was not his money or potential or power but his personality.

She also said that it was his determination, his warmth and she said that even under those face wraps she thought he was hot. This caused Yamato face to flush red as if he had been drinking a lot, to be honest he had never had much interaction with the opposite gender as he had always been to busy.

" Well honestly I would not know, I have been to busy trying to get stronger and running a village to notice if they have. But thank you for those kind gesture lady Rita."

Rita would then ask Yamato what his plans for the future was, but she did not mean work she meant for him self once the village was up and running better. Honestly Yamato had not thought about that much, he always assumed he would be living the ninja life tell he died.

" To be honest Rita I have not really thought about it much. I have always just assumed I would be a ninja until I died, but if I am honest I would like to one day have a family and rebuild my clan. "

As Yamato said that the waiter had returned to them as he laid out there food on the table. Yamato food was pineapple cut into tiny pieces and mixed in with the meat that was mixed in with rice. this was all served inside the pineapple as if it was a bowl. The bottle of sake and two cups was sat in front of him. They also sat two wine glasses out to for the bottle of wine they sat down on the table as well.

As the waiter placed there food and drinks down for Rita and Yamato they continued to talk and flirt and just having a good time. but now it was time to eat and drink and it was hard to do that with his face wrappings so Yamato gently and ever so slowly reached up and made a slit by sliding the bandages up and down so there was room for the food and drink. The tsuchikage would then take a bite of food as he made a yumm noise before pouring him self and Rita a cup of sake before he drank his cup down.

As the two of them was talking Rita brought up how her hobbies was setting off explosions. ' Yeah that sounds about right for a Kotōshura' Yamato would think to him self as he tried to think of a good Hobbie that he had which would be interesting.

" Well my Hobbie is kinda lame compared to yours but I like to travel around and try all the sake from every restaurant and village. I make a mental note of which sake is the best and which I rank above others depending on how long they was bottled for and the taste. "

Yamato said as he poured him self another little sake cup full of sake. It might seemed like a odd Hobbie but it was a Hobbie non the less.

Rita seemed really interested in Yamato hobbies as she said that it sounded fascinating, she said he had a refined palat in order to distinguish the subtle tastes in each bottle of delicious sake. As she spoke about it it made him want a drink of the sake in front of him so he poured him self a glass and drank it down.

" why thank you Rita, I never really saw it just like that but yeah it really is like a little adventure. "

While they was talking she suddenly whispered as if she was telling him a secret, she told Yamato that her hobbies was also building puppets and tinkering with them. That sounded very interesting to Yamato so he listened intently to what she was saying. Even when he lived in the land of wind suna it was rare to find a puppet user within the ranks of the village. Even once he came to iwa he had seen one or two but not as many as there used to be in the past. It was almost as if the art of puppet making was almost dead. She said that maybe one day her puppets could travel around with him and carry the bottles of sake even tale down notes for him.

" You know I'm glad that there are still people out there that still enjoy the art of puppet making, it's almost as if the art has dried up like the desert and died out. That is also a great idea, I could use my magnet style to have them follow me with out needing to ise chakra strings"

Yamato was surprised that he could be having such a nice time at dinner with Rita, they sat there for what seemed like hours but was probably only 30 minutes talking about there many hobbies and what not. As they was talking about there hobbies Rita said that some one a while back tried to start up a society for puppet users but he must have gotten sick cause the whole thing fizzled out. This was News to Yamato cause he had no idea about any of that but It was surely a shame to hear. She mentioned how they could collaborate something one day, she could use her art of puppet making with his expertise in sake.

" Yeah that would surely be a interesting thing to see, we should definitely do that one day."

Yamato said as he took a bite of his food. Rita would then ask the tsuchikage about his travels and what his favorite sake discovery was. Yamato had to think about it as he had a few story's where he discovered a excellent strand of sake that was just to die for.

" Well let's see, ah I know. A few years ago I was on a routine scouting mission to the land of clouds, wasn't nothing to major I was just asked to track the whereabouts of a missing ninja who went Rouge and escaped into lightning territory. While I was out unfortunately I lost my footing and fell into a large ravine and was washed down the water. Luckily for me a old man found me and nursed me back to health, as we talked and got to know each other he shared some of his own blend of sake and I'm not sure what ingredients he used but that was some of the best sake I have ever tried."

Yamato said while he poured him self a cup of sake and drank it down. He would love to find that man again if he could and get that recipe for that sake of his cause he would like to place it with the other recipe he had acquired over the years.

As the conversation progressed Rita mentioned how iwa could make some extra money by opening up a brewery, Yamato kinda like that idea in fact. As Yamato was telling her his story she said that was the kind of adventure she would sign up for besides the falling into the ravine part. She said that she always did have a soft spot for boose just as she did with explosions.

" You know Rita that is a great idea, I'm not sure of iwa already has one but if not we should definitely build one."

Yamato said as he took up his cup of sake and tipped it back. Rita would lean in closer as she placed her hand on his arm and Yamato could tell that she was teasing him as she said that she would love to show him there clans special drink the bomb sake. Yamato would give off a sly cocky grin as he looked at Rita.

" My oh my, that drink sounds like it would be to die for, I would love to try it one day."

Yamato said as he teased Rita back then tossed another shot of sake back. Reaching over he would also take a bite of his food as the two of them continued to talk the night away.

Rita was excited to hear Yamato say that they should make a brewery in iwa, she was right tho it would make for a great place to come gather and have a drink over a story or just to have a drink after a hard day of working. There could be music and snacks as well. It would have to be a little different then a restaurant but he was sure it could work. She then said that he was right the bomb sake was to die for but hopefully not in a literal sense of corse.

" It goes with out saying I don't think anyone would wish to actually die having a drink."

Yamato said as he chuckled then took another bite of his food. Rita then said something very interesting as she spoke about sports, Yamato did not know much about sports but he was always fascinated by how people was.

" Yes sports is a odd thing to me, never was able to get into it. But I do that that one sport where the team holds a ball and tries to get it to the other side of the field."

Yamato would say, Yamato would then pour a cup of sake and passed it to Rita before he poured his self another cup as well. She had made the joke of how she would like to see him in action on and off of the field. He would just give a cocky grin as he look at her.

" I bet you would, you play your cards right and you just might still get your wish "

Yamato would jokingly say tho half serious as well. Yamato was enjoying his night out with Rita she really knew how to keep the mood light but fun as well.

Yamato laughed as Rita mentioned that senor would probably prefor to go out with a good drink, the tsuchikage could not agree more he had known a few elderly in his days that was just like that. Rita would accept the cup of sake from Yamato and he would warmly smile in return. It seemed she also understand his his view toward sports as she said that it was a preferred taste, she mentioned how she found it odd why they called the sport football since there was hardly any kicking done.

" I could not agree with that more Rita, they should probably rename it to handball instead"

Yamato would say as he attempted his hand at a joke, it was probably a lame joke but a joke no less. The two of them continued to enjoy there food and drinks and then Rita asked Yamato if he collected anything. Her self she collected golf balls as she hung them up on her wall. She would probably laugh at what Yamato collected but he found them quite interesting.

" It's nothing to special but I like to collect Ninja info cards. They can give you information on different ninja as well as information on nation's or even different ninja weapons. I find them both neat and educational in a way."

Yamato said as he took a bite of his food then took the napkin and wiped his mouth. He did not know many other people to collect them so he was probably one of the rare ones who dose.
