Enter Ragaki

I was the most revered ninja in the world. Evil trembled in my presence, and the weak felt empowered by me. My name was known far and wide…

It was a hot summer day, around 11:00 am. Everyone in the village was gathered to see the annual video game tournament in the Hidden Mist Village. I was playing against my long-time rival, Kazuma. After hours of screaming and shouting by my supporters and Kazuma's supporters, the game concluded.

"Ragaki, you suck! Haha!" Kazuma was gloating about his win. Sweating profusely, multiple sweat droplets rolled down my forehead, down my cheek, then onto the ground, and I yelled back angrily, "You only beat me because you're older!" Kazuma had a cocky look on his face and pointed to himself. "Damn right. An adult like me won't ever lose to a kid. Swag."

"You're only 13, you little rascal!" The storekeeper shouted with a big smirk on his face.

There was a figure in the distance cloaked by the mist which was running towards us. Everybody was on edge and ready, but it turned out to be my secretary. "Sir, sir!" my secretary yelled. Out of breath, she said, "Sir, you have a letter from the Hidden Leaf Village! It's urgent!"

The letter was from Minato Namikaze. My eyes bulged, and my heart sank. The letter read, "Ragaki, the Nine Tailed Beast has been released in the Hidden Leaf. Over 200 ninjas have been killed. We need your help. Please come soon!" Only at the tender age of 12, I knew that I had to take up this task. Not even the great Fourth Hokage, with the help of the mighty Leaf Village, could defeat the tailed beast. I understood that my friend needed help, and I couldn't turn a blind eye.

My village gathered to send me off. "Come back in one piece, ya runt!" the storekeeper said as a tear glistened while gracefully rolling down his left cheek. I went on my way, but before that, he left the village with a meaningful quote: "I want to help the world with a smile on my face and save as many people as possible. We should all strive to be great and use me as a role model."

I was given a pass so he could pass through other villages because I'm not an official ninja, so I'm not allowed to wear a headband and have to use a pass instead. I am neither Genin nor Jonin. I am myself, and no one can tell me otherwise. I don't want the title of either since I don't like labels. All a label does is hold you back and prevents you from being and expressing yourself.

Using my speed Jutsu, I reached the Leaf Village in a minute and five seconds. "Sweet! I just broke my record! That's pretty awesome."

"Hey, Ragaki!" Minato shouted while running towards me. He embraced each other, and we kissed each other on the cheek, forehead, and hand to show our strong friendship. "Ragaki, the fox beast is over there. Please take him down." I had a cocky smile on his face. "Of course I can beat him. Believe it!"

After the other leaf shinobi briefed me on the dire situation, I was ready to go.

"Everyone, step back, this might get dangerous," Ragaki said, smirking. "Lightning Jutsu: Electric Bazooka!!" My attack blasted at the tailed beast was destructive. It caused earthquakes all over the world from vibrations of the impact.

"Woah!! He didn't even use any hand signs!" The Leaf Shinobi were marveled by the sheer power that I possessed, all while not using any hand signs. The smoke cleared, and the tailed beast seemed unphased.

"What?! That didn't do anything to him?"

"We're so dead, dude" "I have to leave! I need to go help my family escape!! We're all dead!!"

The leaf ninjas were panicking. My Electric Bazooka was the most powerful attack they had ever seen, so it was only natural to panic when it did not affect the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Smirking, I said, "I guess that I held back a little too much. I guess we have to kick things up a notch."

The tailed beast looked like he was getting ready for an attack.

"Everyone! Take cover, he's attacking again!" Everyone except me ran. "Calm down. I'll protect you all." I wanted to reassure them that they were safe.

The tailed beast shot a powerful bomb attack at us, but it wasn't anything I couldn't handle.

The leaf shinobi were still scared, even after I tried to calm them down. "Brace!!"

I stood there with my arms folded because I knew that I could stop it with ease. The attack came closer, and I flicked it back with my fingers at the tailed beast.

The Nine-Tailed Beast was severely hurt. "That attack hurt you? Tailed beast? More like a failed beast!" Everyone laughed at my joke. They all came out because they felt safe.

I slowly unfolded my arms and stretched my muscles. "Now it's time to put the baby to sleep."

"Lighting Fire Bomb!!"

The tailed beast tried to run away from my attack, but it hit him, and it was all over.

Later that week, I was named the Kage of every village because of my power and bravery.

And my journey began.
