If anyone thinks that Ryozan's reasoning is... unreasonable, here is a breakdown of why I feel it's perfectly reasonable for him to come to the conclusions that he did. If you're not interested, I'll put it in a hider.

If you'll pay attention Matsuka trained in COMBAT, not subterfuge. Her entire shinobi life has been missions where force, not finesse was required. And she didn't ask "what's happening" the second time, she asked "what's going to happen to us", and the question was mostly rhetorical.

Matsuka has every reason to have an itchy trigger finger right now. She's several hours away from a battle in which her and everybody around her dying is a distinct possibility.

You would also know not to underestimate a potential enemy, no matter how harmless he seemed. Remember that he opened his "talk" by posing a hypothetical ambush he might be part of, and explaining how the target could be inside the ramen stand.

Ryozan took a seat at the ramen stand, leaving an empty chair between Matsuka and himself, and ordered a small bowl. He wasn't very hungry, but it would look ridiculous if he sat down at a stand without ordering anything. He doubted that Matsuka would recognize a new Jounin like himself, so he figured it would be up to him to break the ice. "This has been some strange weather, hasn't it senpai?" he said in a calm, even voice. He looked over at the woman to see her reaction, unsure if he ought to offer her a handshake or not. Introductions were always rather awkward for him.

I find this whole thing fairly amusing tbh.

You're really oversimplifying those second and third steps. Matsuka is not "tripping, she's responding to her instincts the way I created her personality. Do you have a problem with how I created my character?
