A few days after the "accident", Kenji decides to take a walk and go buy some strawberries as usual... As soon as he leaves the house and goes down the stairs he hears a cry coming from above. He glances up and a Pot with all the succulent plant comes straight to his head flying from the 3rd floor.

"A-AK---!"

The child is hit hard and the vase shatters... Kenji trying to stabilize his balance strags a bit around and eventually sits down on the ground blinking and shaking his head surprised. Strangely he didn't broke his head, a normal person would at least had a concussion or got a cut but he felt okay after the hard land on his poor skull. He glances up and rubs the top of his head shouting at the woman on the balcony that looks down concerned

"Oh gosh! Are you okay ki-- oh Kenji it's you. Are you alright??"

"I'm fine!!"

Kenji gives her a thumb up with a little chuckle, standing up and removing a thorn from his cheek, he let out a little "Ow" from the pain that end as fast as it arrived. He shakes his head to remove the dirt and goes back walking... The day didn't started the way he wanted but now he was heading straight to the market to get his favorite strawberries! Meanwhile he thinks and mutters between himself

"how strange... I came out alive after taking a vase on the head of the third floor. I must be lucky"

He then smiles again, happily Reaching the market and meets the owner lady of the place. He takes out the money and looks down at the strawberries pointing them at the  lady

"A kilo of the usual, thank you!"

The Lady turns around seeing Kenji and smiles bittersweetly, taking out a paper bag and putting the fruits inside it

"oh Kenji, our usual little customer! Nice to see you here, strawberries even today mh? It's 20 ryos-"

"excuse me... Here it says 5 ryos each kilo."

Kenji corrects the lady with an innocent expression. At school he had learned to count and certainly would never be fooled by the saleswoman again. The woman's smile disappears, leaving only an annoyed expression and a sigh, taking the right amount of money and places in the hands of the boy the bag of strawberries. Kenji had grown up and she couldn't ask for more money than she had to.

"yeah kid... Right right, now go I have other customers to take care of"

"thank you for the strawberries! Byeee"

Kenji nonchalantly smiles and takes what he wanted, he didn't mind having to deal with little troubles such as money since Tobirama gave him a sum of ryos each months To survive until he was able to pay for his own needs.

He was about to take a strawberry from the paper bag and eat it when he hears a shout and joilts surprised. A man from down the street shouts:

"Make wayyyyyyy! The cow has gone crazy!"

In a flash people run away, an angry cow was running and trotting down the street right in front of Kenji. He gasps and tries to run as well to the side holding the bag of strawberries against his chest to protect them. The cow lowers its head and almost gores Kenji, one of the two horns drags him by the hood of his shirt and He lets out a cry of terror as he tries to free himself. the crowd hides and watches with terror the young boy who is carried by the cow and then rears up, throwing Kenji straight into some wooden crates a few meters away. Kenji falls to the ground with all the strawberries that unfortunately are not saved...

"uuugh... Am I dead?"

Kenji mutters in between the crates, dust and strawberry's juice. He was a little sore but managed to stand up all in one piece without a broken bone. Meanwhile, the cow had been captured by the owner, the crowd surrounds Kenji and looks a little shocked and concerned. The little one fast stands up and gives out one of his bests smiles chuckling and raising his thumbs up
