Ep 6: The Dragon blade

It's seen a kid Ryu along with another ninja. He was his father Kyosuke.

Kyosuke: Ryu, I'll teach you a helpful ninjutsu.

Ryu: (Excited) Really, father?

Then he used hands positions and took the ground.

Kyosuke: Summoning jutsu!

After a smoke, a wild dog appeared.

Kyosuke: This is my partner animal.

Ryu: (Funny amazed) Wow! That's cool!

Kyosuke: This technic requires a big focus in your chi and imagining your animal familiar. Try it using your blood mark.

Ryu: Alright, my animal familiar would be… a hawk!

Ryu: (Using hands position) Summoming jutsu!

After the smoke, appeared an egg.

Ryu was funny confused.

Kyosuke: (Funny worried) An egg? Well, I can't believe my son is lacking in this skill.

At present, Ryu in ninja costume was at night training, then another one appeared. It was Sakura in her kunoichi costume.

Sakura: You keep training.

Ryu: Yeah, I must be stronger to face those from Shimomura clan.

Sakura: You're right but aren't you force your body. Won't you be late for school tomorrow.

Ryu: No problem, I'll be at time.

At next day in morning. Ryu was sleeping yet. But then he woke up fast.

Ryu's voice: AAAAAAH! I OVERSLEEEEEEPED!

Ryu washed himself and took a bread and ate it too fast, then he run to school.

Ryu realized the time from a building.

Ryu: I don't have time for the bus! Then…

Ryu went to an alley and used hands, he changed into his ninja costume.

Ryu: Alright!

Ryu run too fast through the ceilings. He was increasing his speed.

Ryu: As ninja, I'm good in speed!

But then he stopped to see some students were arriving but others were checking at the entrance.

Ryu: The school counseling members! I must distract them, let's see.

Ryu used summoning jutsu and his hawk appeared.

Ryu: Taka, distract them.

Taka flew and scared the school counseling members.

S.C 1: Ah! What it is?

S.C 2: A hawk in this city?

At that time Ryu run very fast jumping above the walls and headed to terrace. There used hands position turning him into his school uniform.

Ryu: At time, thanks Taka.

Then, at break time, Ryu was with Sakura, Nozomi and Takeru at the balcony.

Takeru: Then, let's talk about years ago.

Ryu: Yeah, about why those ninjas are after me, and about what happen to Takashi.

//Flashback//

Ryu's voice: As you know, my family is Hasashi clan. A ninja clan who was found by my ancestor, the great ninja Hanzo Hasashi. He discover a great katana. The Dragon blade which legend says it was forged by a dragon scale. It's edge is able to cut anything. My family protected the katana for many generations, it could only be used by someone with the blood of the Hasashi clan.

Kid Ryu was with his father, training in fighting.

Ryu: How was that, father?

Kyosuke: Your hand-to-hand fight is good, also your katana skill. But your mana is wasting for no using mostly ninjutsu.

Ryu: My strength and speed should be enough.

Kyosuke: A ninjutsu like summoming is required when you are in danger. You must train that to carry a big responsibility.

Ryu: I want to learn more about this ninja skill.

Kyosuke: You can play with the other kids but you must focus in summoning jutsu.

Later, Ryu was practicing summoning jutsu but it's always an egg.

Ryu: (Angry) Shit! Why I can't summon a hawk?

Kyosuke: You must use more chi to summon your partner.

Ryu: Alright. (Focusing more energy, then used a hand position) Summoning jutsu!

Then a hawk chick appeared.

Ryu: I failed again!

Kyosuke: Unless you're still in progress.

//End of flashback//

Ryu: My father was training me to inherit my clan skill.

Takeru: Don't forget the other clans were training their kids for being ninjas. Including my family.

Ryu: Yeah, Takashi and I were training together.

Sakura: And what about our childhood relationship?

Ryu: Do I need to tell that?

Nozomi: That's right! I want to know why my lady is interested with you?

//Flashback//

It's seen kid Ryu and kid Sakura were together with their family in a party.

Kyosuke: (Smiling) Come on Ryu, relax. You're not training so enjoy this party with your future wife!

Ryu: Father! I want to become a ninja soon!

Sakura: You should be glad, a member of your family will form part of my great clan.

Ryu: Shut up, girly!

At other day, Ryu and Sakura were on a field at a tree.

Sakura: Come on, let's play climbing.

Ryu: Hey!

Sakura climbed the tree very easy.

Sakura: Try to climb to here, midget!

Ryu: (Funny angry) You'll see!

Ryu used his speed to climb the tree but with difficult.

Ryu: I did it!

Sakura: Oh! Not bad for a ninja amateur.

Ryu: You'll see! I will become the greatest ninja!

Sakura: I hope to see you. But honestly I love that determination.

Ryu: Really?

Sakura: (Little blushed) But also I love you.

Ryu: (Confused) What?

Sakura: This is just because of my family engagement! So be sure to love me!

Ryu: Eh?

Then a ninja appeared to them.

Ninja: Lady Sakura, your father asked you to come your mansion.

Sakura: About what?

Ninja: About your engagement with Hasashi clan.

Sakura: Fine, I'll go so you leave.

Ninja: Yes. (Disappearing)

Ryu: About our marriage?

Sakura: (Little blushed) Yes. Remember your promise about being at my side.

Ryu: Yeah.

//End of flashback//

Sakura: I would say that was little romantic for a simple boy like you.

Ryu: (Little upset) Simple?

Sakura: But then you abandoned me! What a bad boy!

Ryu: Sorry, I was angry about Takashi's death so I forgot that promise.

Takeru: (Angry) I don't want to hear your love story! What about my brother?

Ryu: Okey okey. I'll tell you.

//Flashback//

It's seen kid Ryu was playing with kid Takashi as training.

Ryu: How was that, Takashi?

Takashi: Not bad, as expected from Hasashi clan.

Ryu: Your skills aren't bad. So let's keep training.

At other side, Kyosuke was reunited with other ninjas and with the headmaster.

Kyosuke: What do you want to talk, sir?

Headmaster: Kyosuke Hasashi, your clan was chosen to keep the ancient katana. But we heard some people want it for its power.

Kyosuke: Impossible! Then I have to order my family to be warned about attacks.

Headmaster: You should be careful, the heir from your family would be the target.

Kyosuke: Heir? No way! (Worried) Ryu!

At other side in a field, Ryu and Takashi were playing.

Ryu: I must get better to learn the summoning jutsu!

Takashi: Really, and what would it be your animal partner?

Ryu: That's…

Suddenly Takashi detected something and grabbed Ryu to pull him down.

Ryu: What are you…?

Then some knives passed over them. They dodged at time.

Takashi: Watch out!

Then a group of ninjas appeared and surrounded them.

Ryu: Who you are?

Ninja: He's Hasashi heir. Kill him.

The ninjas went to attack but suddenly Kyosuke with other ninjas appeared to Ryu and Takashi.

Kyosuke: Are you okey, Ryu?

Ryu: Father!

Ninja: Kill them!

Kyousuke and his company fought against the ninjas.

Ryu: I must help.

Takashi: (Stopping him) No Ryu! We're not ready to a real fight!

Ryu: But…

Then Kyosuke slashed a ninja, but that ninja launched some kunais to Ryu.

Kyousuke: (Realizing the kunais) Those… they carry poison! Ryu! Dodge them!

The kunais went to Ryu but suddenly Takashi was in front of him. He was injured by the kunais, which pierced him on his back. He protected Ryu from that attack.

Ryu: (In shock) Takashi.

Takashi was bleeding and fell. Ryu embraced him to hold him.

Takashi: (As dying) Ryu… promise you will be a great ninja… tell my brother I saved you even if he hates you…

At that moment he gave him a tiny stone with a seal on it.

Ryu: (Tearfully) Takashi… TAKASHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!

Kyosuke and his company killed the ninja attackers but he only saw how Ryu was embracing Takashi's corpse with tears and in shock.

Ryu's voice: Takashi sacrificed himself to protect me, but some people didn't believe it. Some said it was my fault because I was the heir of Hasashi clan.

After Takashi's funeral, Ryu was training very hard with a serious mood.

Ryu's voice: Takashi, one day I'll avenge your death once I discover the guilty!

Then he was with his father.

Kyosuke: Sorry about your friend, but we couldn't find out who was the group after you.

Ryu: (Angry) I swear I'll find them!

Kyosuke: I'm sure but first focus in your training.

Ryu: Yes! (Using hands position) Summoning jutsu!

After a smoke, a hawk appeared a regular one.

Ryu: I made it!

Kyosuke: Good, now you need to put your blood seal to make a bound to summon it in your missions. What about a name?

Ryu: A name, let's see… I'll call it… Taka!

Kyosuke: Because it's a hawk or for your friend?

Ryu: Both.

//End of flashback//

Ryu: As you know, that was my past. After that I decided to leave my village to start another life.

Nozomi: (Funny crying) WAAAAHH! What a sad story!

Sakura: Hard to believe you were so sensible.

Takeru: You wanted to abandon your ninja training to live a boring life.

Ryu: I wanted to try but because of the Dragon blade I have to train aside to inherit it.

Sakura: The Dragon blade? That katana which your family was entrusted!

Ryu: That's right.

//Flashback//

Kyosuke was reunited with a headmaster and other ninjas, Ryu was also there.

Headmaster: As you know this katana, is called the Dragon blade. The most powerful katana which edge can cut everything. It was made with a dragon scale in ancient times. A ninja can use its power full only it's worthy.

Kyosuke: We know that story sir.

Headmaster: Kyosuke Hasashi, we entrust your clan with the Dragon blade. You know your ancestor, the great Hanzo Hasashi used it in many wars, so it's clear his clan should have it.

Kyosuke: Thanks, sir!

Headmaster: However your recent members aren't ready to use this katana. You must have skill more than a regular ninja. Until now you should improve your skills of your clan.

Kyosuke: My son is training hard to inherit our clan skill.

Ryu: Yeah! I want to be a great ninja like Hanzo Hasashi!

Headmaster: I see you have a great determination despite being a kid. Maybe was right that the Nakahara clan wants you form part of their family.

Ryu: I'm only focusing in my ninja training.

Headmaster: Alright, Kyosuke you better train your son. I heard some people are hunting other ninja villages. They could be looking for the Dragon blade. We don't know when they will attack again.

Kyosuke: Yes, my son's friend was killed. We be ready for another menace!

Headmaster: Ryu Hasashi, good luck in your training.

Ryu: Yes!

Ryu's voice: After training a lot, I decided to leave my village to have another life as a normal teenager when I grow up. I moved fast I forgot to say goodbye to Sakura and her family.

Ryu was carrying a pack then he was heading to the city.

Ryu: I'll have to keep my ninja training, even if I have to be involved in killing missions.

//End of flashback//

Ryu: Sometimes I was killing some criminals, but it was difficult to hide from investigations.

Takeru: You keep in ninja missions? Even you wanted a peaceful life.

Ryu: Right, I'm a ninja, we kill people right?

Takeru: I can't believe your words when you said my brother sacrificed for you.

Ryu: Well (Taking the little stone) Takashi gave me this but it seems to have a seal. I don't recognize this symbol.

Takeru: (Taking the stone) This is… It has the symbol of my clan! Then I should do it.

He used hand position to activate the symbol then some telepathic words were on his mind.

Takashi's voice: This is a message to my brother Takeru. If you hear this message then something bad happened to me. I don't want you hate Ryu, he's my best friend and I respect him as ninja partner. Maybe you won't believe him but unless don't hate him because he's from other clan.

Takeru: (Sad) Takashi… why you…

Ryu: I didn't want Takashi risked his life for me. That's why I'm going to hunt those murders. Maybe they are the same that kill in my village.

Nozomi: I had a report about an unknown clan who were killing other ninja villages.

Sakura: They could be from…

Then a group of ninjas appeared, taking their katanas.

Ryu: The Shimomura clan?

Sakura: They found us!

Takeru: Don't screw us!

Ninja: Kill that boy and his alleys!

Ryu: Let's do it!

Ryu, Sakura, Takeru and Nozomi used hands moves and turned into their ninjas costumes.

Ninja: Don't show mercy only because they are young!

Ryu: Attack!

At other side Mio was walking.

Mio: Where's Hasashi? It's supposed he should give us the photos of other attractions.

Then she heard some noises from the balcony.

Mio: What is it?

At the balcony, Ryu and the other were fighting with the ninjas using their own blades with difficult.

Ryu: They seem using their blades with more violence!

Sakura: Watch out! They seem using Iaijutsu!

Ryu: Iaijutsu, the sword technique of a sudden mortal attack! An attack and we're done!

Sakura: We must be careful.

Ryu: Then (Using hands position) Summoning jutsu!

Then his hawk Taka appeared.

Ryu: Distract them a little!

Taka was attacking some ninjas as Ryu and the other keep attacking.

Nozomi used some kunais to hurt ninjas feet and then run fast to slashed them.

Nozomi: Never provoke a lady's servant!

Takeru used his clone jutsu, being three of him and slashed other ninjas at the same time.

Takeru: I won't let interrupt my search of my brother's death!

Sakura moved fast and skilly as slashing other ninjas.

Sakura: Even a kunoichi can be fatal!

Ryu and Taka was attacking and slashing the rest of the ninjas.

Ryu: I won't die yet! Until I revenge my family and friend!

The battle was over, the ninjas enemies were dead.

Ryu: Damn, we made a mess here in school. How do we suppose to hide this?

Sakura: I'll help with that. (Using hands move) Summoning jutsu!

Then a wolf appeared to them.

Sakura: Here you are, my little friend.

Nozomi: Lady Sakura, you domain that jutsu.

Ryu: So you know summoning jutsu?

Sakura: Yep! Do you think you were the only to learn this jutsu?

They realized there was a woman who was watching the battle. It was the Amazon.

Amazon: I found you! Hasashi boy! (Disappearing)

Ryu: Damn it! That woman, is she working with them?

Then Mio arrived to the balcony and taking her camera.

Mio: I saw them! I saw them! Ninjas! This is going to be the greatest news…

Suddenly Nozomi was behind her and knocked her with a hit.

Ryu: Again? I hope that didn't kill her.

Nozomi: It's my special skill, she will forget this so don't worry.

Sakura: I'll call some of my servants to take those corpses. We can't let any evidences. (To her wolf) Inform this to Nakahara family, quick!

The wolf howled and run.

Nozomi: I'll go too to inform your parents.

At a hideout, Shin was with his clan. Then the Amazon arrived.

Shin: So you found him?

Amazon: Yes, also his allies are ninjas from other clans.

Shin: I don't care them. But if they are at my objective, kill them.

Amazon: Let me handle them.

Then the Samurai was there too.

Samurai: You let the mission to her? Those Spartans failed!

Amazon: I won't fail, don't compare me to them!

Shin: Just make sure to bring me the Dragon Blade than that kid has.

Amazon: Sure, that kid is Ryu Hasashi and he's assistant at that school. (Smiling) And I have a plan to hunt them.

At school balcony Ryu and the others were talking. Mio was still funny unconscious.

Ryu: The Shimomura ninjas discovered I'm in this school! We must be warned by any attack. So I asked you, become a team to protect this place we can't involve these teenagers in our problem.

Sakura: Don't worry, we're together in this.

Nozomi: If lady Sakura is agreed, then I'm on it.

Ryu: Takeru?

Takeru: Tsk! I'm clling this a temporaly team-up, so don't think we're friends!

Ryu: (Smiling a little) Thanks.

Ryu showed his hand, then Sakura put her hand on his, then Nozomi and finally Takeru.

Ryu: We are killers, we are shadows, we are ninjas. Let's defend our young lives!
