Travels with a Hermit Part 3

"Hmm? Learn what, Ero-Senin?"

"All of that. You've never been outta Konoha, but you're taking to the desert like a fish to water."

"Eh? Hehehe… I read that you need to do that in a desert. In a book. Back while I was in the Academy…It really was a great read..."

"I can too read! I just…never did."

"Okay, gaki, okay."

"Hmph."
