...The god of Ame. Right. She'd wondered if that was a rumor (as villages sometimes had, like the ones who claimed other villages had secret kages) or not, but...apparently not.
Anxiety aside for a brief moment--the Rinnegan was really something else to look at. The side of her that enjoyed taking techniques apart and examining them wanted to get closer and investigate them (for instance, were the apparent ridges above or under the lenses?) but the rational part of her kept that well under control.
Besides, even if he wasn't the representative of the leader of another country who might easily kill or capture her, or worse cause a diplomatic incident that would end in war or killing her promotion chances ever (she's not convinced the last hasn't already happened. Wandering into the wrong country was a mistake even genin usually avoided)...she had no medical training whatsoever. Without being handed a scroll of something to explain it or give her the answers she may or may not have wanted, she would have been able to do nothing more than poke at him.
And even an academy student knew not to poke the eyes of a foreign leader.
In truth, she wasn't remotely comfortable looking away from a strange and very powerful foreign shinobi, but she gave a small, apologetic bow anyway. Although it endangered her (more than just encountering him did), it was better that than do anything further to risk angering Ame. "I am...no one important. A chuunin who's lost her way. Please accept my deep apologies for the intrusion!"
