I know.
I just know.
I don't remember why and how, but I just know, even though I have never lived a moment of it.
I know what I am here to do.
To obliterate the Kurahashi Clan.
***
A long time ago, in a land sheltered far away between the mountains and rivers, was the village of Kurosaki Clan.
They were the Ninjas who had been protecting their sacred grounds since time immemorial.
But since the last decade, Kurahashi Clan, a clan of foreign ninjas, has been trying to capture the sacred lands and has been continuously increasing in strength and power.
Kurahashi Clan captured many of the smaller Kurosaki Villages and has been planning since long to subjugate their main village of the Sacred Land.
Enter: Takeshi Kuro
Enter: Kosei Kuro
Takeshi: I'll be hanged today, AND ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!
Kosei: Like I said, it's not my fault if my teacher was in a bad mood.
Takeshi: Of course, you bunk two consecutive classes and he is supposed to be the happiest person alive.
Kosei: Mom won't say a thing, I promise.
Takeshi: We're already an hour late because of your punishme-
Both stop short, right in front of their village gates. They sense something.
Alert mode activated
Agility activated
Cautious stance
Both advance cautiously and noiselessly inside the village.
The village seems normal but there is something different in the air.
Not one person can be seen outside.
Kosei: ...I ... smell something
Takeshi: So do I...
They both soon realise what it was...
BLOOD
And then right on top of the Town Hall, a huge man climbs up and hoists a Flag with his bloodied hands.
The Kurahashi Clan flag.
Takeshi: . . .
Kosei: . . .
Then he sees them
Kurahashi Leader: THE HELL!! I WANT THEIR SKINS RIGHT NOW!!!
His voice booked like thunder as Takeshi and Kosei made the dash.
They were pursued by 3 of the Kurahashi men.
Parkour activated
Takeshi ran at full speed.
He jumped over the trees and slide through the branches instinctively, it was all spontaneous.
Soon he was tired but the enemies still pursued.
He tried to look at Kosei but all he could manage to see was a blur at his sides. He was approaching a cliff, and now he would have to make a real long jump if he had to land on the ledge in the front.
His body became tensed and...
He heard a loud rumble, louder than thunder, ring in the sky.
Then his body became overly tensed and he fell down.
Immobile.
He could not move anything except for his eyes. He saw Kosei collapsed beside him, and men seemed to have been paralysed in a similar fashion.
Then it was all pitch black...
