Chapter 2 - Raijin, the Smartest

Yin Fang wiped his Kunai on his sleeve and looked at Jin like a dead man. "Really? This is how you treat me after I gave you some dog meat?"

Twitching his eyebrow, Yin Fang said, "This is not personal, this is business."

Using Shadow Step, Jin watched as Yin began to multiply circling the entire room. "I can do that too."

Jin began to use Shadow Step as well but made it so every one of his illusions walked in different directions. Closing his eyes, Jin began to listen, he heard the heartbeat of Zao, but where is Yin Fang?

A small tick was heard behind him, and without hesitation, Jin spun a kick behind him, hitting Yin Fang who blocked the kick with his katana sheathe. Pushing Jin away as Jin lands softly on the ground.

"I never believed you when you said he was superior to the average human, but I guess he is..."

Jin smiled, "I am way stronger than the average human, let me show you one of my techniques!"

Using a Rin hand sign, which translates to power. Circulating his chi in his body, Jin threw a punch at Yin, who clearly dodged it but he flew back as a fist mark appeared on his chest that caved his chest in.

Spitting out some blood, Yin was confused, Rin hand sign is only used for enhancing the power of stuff or oneself, but how did he get hit when he dodged it? Standing up, Yin asked, "How did you do that?"

Jin smirked and blew the hair on his face, "You want to learn? Be my student."

Hearing the remark, Yin gritted his teeth and did the Sha hand sign, healing his body at the cost of his stamina. "Okay, Fine, it is over now."

Taking out his katana, Jin saw that the blade was black and releasing an ominous feeling. "A cursed blade?"

Nodding, Yin smiled, "This sword has consumed 10,000 people, you will be its first 10,001."

Sneezing, Jin said, "Sorry, your backstory of this sword is quite dull."

Feeling a bit disrespected, Yin wiped his blood on the katana enhancing it with chi. Holding the katana sideways pointing towards Jin, Yin used all of his Chi and enhanced his speed appearing right in front of Jin.

Sheating his katana slowly, Yin calmly walked toward Zao and kneeled, "It is done, Leader."

Zao smiled and signaled to turn around, being confused, Yin turned around and looked at Jin's body which was not moving. Suddenly his body turned into a log which was cut 20 times in all lethal parts of the body.

Clapping his hands, Jin came out of the corner of the room, "Amazing technique, it seems you cannot control your chi as much as you thought."

Standing there in absolute confusion, Yin was shocked that he couldn't speak. "Y-You..."

"Me? I injected you with some of my chi when I kicked your katana, making you more susceptible to illusions. Also, it is not luck, I practice this a lot, you can ask your leader," said Jin rolling his eyes.

Zao cleared his throat and said, "Jin, stop playing around, and finish this."

Before Yin knew it, Jin was in front of him, as if he was a ghost that didn't exist. If one didn't concentrate, you would not know Jin was standing in front of you. Hiding everything, including the chi.

Yin jumped back and felt his cheek get cut, "How is he so fast?" wondered Yin as he used the Sha hand sign, healing his cut. 

Feeling nothing, Yin felt his leg get cut off as he maintained a calm face and landed softly. Looking down, his left leg was still intact, so why did he feel so weird?

Looking down, he found that his leg was dead. blood was cut off, and using the Sha hand sign again, he found that he could not circulate his chi to his leg to heal it.

Gulping loudly, Yin saw that Jin was still in the same spot, it looked like he didn't move one inch. "Is he that fast that he can return to his original spot after attacking?" wondered Yin.

Moving in front of Yin, Jin faked a jab and liver-punched Yin, blocking the liver punch, Yin spun and sweep-kicked using one leg. Timing the kick, Jin stomped Yin's kneecap in and made Yin scream a little.

Laying on the ground, Jin walked towards Yin and saw that he closed his eyes. "I lose, just spare me, please."

Shaking his head, Jin whispered in his ear, but before he could talk, Yin swung a kunai at Jin's neck using the last bit of strength he had. Rolling his eyes, Jin caught the kunai with two fingers.

Using the Rin hand sign on his other hand to enhance his physical strength, with the added strength, he broke the kunai in half and plunged the kunai's two halves into Yin's heart and lung.

Sighing, Yin fell asleep, and will never wake up again. Getting up, Jin wiped the blood off his feet and fixed his hair. "Good job, you are now free, so, what do you want to do first?"

Jin cracked his muscles and said, "I want to drink, in a bar."

Nodding, Zao watched as Jin vanished and sighed, "His future is filled with dangerous things, I hope he can survive."

Suddenly a bald man came out of the corner, "Zao, your disciple will overturn the world, I assume you know this already?"

"I do, he is someone special to me, his grandmother was my foster mother."

"A clan leader in charge of killing machines, is feeling sentimental?" said the bald man as he slowly caressed his long beard.

"Knowing what he is gonna accomplish, yes. Don't you have stuff to do, Crazy Monk?"

Crazy Monk laughed, "Shut up old man, you are dying, don't you have the stuff to do as well?"

Rolling his eyes, Zao vanished with Crazy Monk.

In Jin's room. It was quite small but it fit what Jin needed, packing his stuff, Jin decided to leave the weapons in the room, he had a multitude of weapons from the people who were trying to infiltrate the Azuka Clan.

The only thing he grabbed was one Kunai gifted to him by Zao. Looking at the room with nostalgia, he walked out of the Azuka Clan, the other ninjas all bowed to him with respect. His nickname in the Azuka Clan was the training maniac.

Defeating a lot of intruders who were martial arts masters, gave him this title as the next day, he would continue his training as if he didn't fight the number 20 strongest martial artist.

Stopping in front of the entrance, Jin looked back at the big mansion with some sadness, Zao became a father figure for him, even if he was cruel and uncaring sometimes, Jin considers him a good friend.

Smiling sadly, Jin set out on his journey. Little did he know, this was the start of the legend. Raijin, the one who lurks.
