Chapter 1 - Shinra Akatsuki

"centuries ago, dark forces invade the world and brought chaos upon mankind, giant creatures called Kaiju and some demons, they destroy cities and devour any human the come across, two clan of warriors emerges from the shadow and fought against the demons and Kaiju, up till today the clans continue to fight off the dark forces to protect mankind, and these warriors are known as ninja and samurai".

In the woods a ninja was running in a tremendous speed, he leap on a tree and started leaping through trees, he got to a place and took to a stop, he observed the dark forest searching for something, after a short second he heard a slight sound and instantly made a flip as he skillfully dodged the fist of a demon, the branch of the tree could not withstand the force from the demon's punch so it was severed from the tree.

"It's quite a punch you have you know", the ninja said, he was wearing a traditional ninja attire with a hoodie over his head, the demon who was standing on the ground look up at the ninja, the demon was having dark grey skin and his eyes were sharp piercing blue with a shape pupil.

"You little brat, I'm going to crush you", the demon clinch his fist.

"crush me you said, if you really can do that, then why have you been running the whole time, is it because you are scared of just one guy? ".

This made the demon grit his teeth," you bastard, who do you think you are that I will be scared of, I have crush hundreds of kōjin level ninja, with my bare hands ", the demon ball his fist.

" It's because those kōjin were not a real ninja", the ninja then stand up from his crouching position on the tree branch," I am Shinra Akatsuki of the ninja clan".

" What!? ", the demon started shivering," no way, he can't be you ".

"Yes, it is", he placed his right hand on his sword and his left hand grabbed unto the sword that was facing down, both swords were in a single sword shelter, he then pulled out the swords and the demon started begging for his life.

"Please don't kill me, I beg of you, forgive me, I swear I won't do anything evil again, please", the demon bow with his head on the ground.

"This is the time for you to face justice, demon, and that justice will be my swords".

" Shinra, will you caught the crap out and train like you mean it? ", a raven haired boy ask with a look of annoyance, Shinra frow at the raven haired boy, Shinra who just a fourteen years old boy, the upper part of his hair were white, while the lower part was shaved and remain black.

"What do you think I'm doing you idiot", Shinra was wearing his training gear like every other person on the training ground, it was a black handless and pants with ninja sandals, Shinra was holding two wooden swords.

"What you are doing is not training ok?, you are only being imaginative", a blue haired girl pipe in," and there's no way you can face off with a zenith nonetheless a soul breaker ", the blue haired girl laugh and others joined her.

"You idiots can laugh all you want, don't be amazed when I become the hero that save your asses for the grip of death", Shinra point one of his wooden swords at the raven haired boy," idiot".

"Who are you calling an idiot?", the raven haired boy ask angrily.

" Everyone, including you, idiot ".

"You bastard!", he attacked Shinra and they swung their wooden swords at each other, Shinra maneuver through the boy's attacks and knocked him down.

*Hehehe* "how do you like that? Idiot", Shinra grin.

*Ah!!* " You bastard! ", he skillfully got off the ground and threw a punch, his fist stopped right in front of Shinra's face.

*Huh* Shinra blink at the fist that was almost touching him.

"That's enough", the person that stepped in was the group captain, he was a guy in his early twenties with brown hair and eyes.

"Ca... Captain Kai", the boy was surprised to see him, Kai let go of his fist and gave the two boys a stern look.

"Hi cap", Shinra grin at him.

"What is the matter with you two, or have you forgotten that you are a ninja, and the most inferior at that, a genin, your fist were made to strike the demons out there, not yourselves", his hand where crossed.

" Sir! It was all Shinra's fault, he started it ", the raven haired boy pointed at Shinra.

"What!? You started it so don't put the blame on me ok!?", Shinra swat the boy's hand away.

" Yes the blames on you because you called me an idiot! ", the boy yelled at Shinra.

" The reason I called you an idiot is because you are an idiot! ", Shinra yelled back at him.

" I dare you to call me an idiot again! ".

" You are an idiot! ".

" Enough of the bickering you idiots! ", Kai was now annoyed," it seems like you boys need to be disciplined, and that I will gladly render to you ".

" (Jeez, this guy seems like his head is going to blow off)", Shinra made a weird face.

" Your punishment for picking up a fight among yourselves is for you two to run three thousand laps around the village", Kai said to them.

" What!? We can't do that", Shinra protest.

" That's too much for us to handle sir", the raven haired boy said.

" Move out now! Or face my fury ", Kai yelled at them and without hesitation they ran off, Kai then turn to face the other genin with a straight face and they almost lost color," as for the rest of you, your punishment for not stopping the fight, is one thousand five hundred pushups, your time start now ".

" Mummy!!!!! ", one of the genin cried out in horror.

***

Shinra and the raven haired boy were panting as they jog through a path, their training gear was soaking wet from their sweating.

"This is all your fault you know?", the boy ask through heavy panting.

" Will you stop whining ", Shinra glared at him," I won't have called you an idiot if you hadn't look down on me ".

" You can't blame me, you are just a genin yet you imagine about taking down a soul breaker, the highest rank of the demons".

" Yes I know, and I'm going to prove it".

" How are you going to do that? You are a genin, just as captain Kai said, we are the inferior ones among the ninja clan, you can't use techniques and your aim with shuriken and kunai are not that accurate ".

" Yeah yeah, I'm going to do my best to become a jōnin, after that I will work my way into being a kōjin or even a korei ".

" You have a vast range of imagination you know ".

" Speak for yourself, I'm not the only genin here remember?", Shinra said as they continue with their jogging, Shinra heard a sound and stop.

"Why are you stopping?", the boy stop as well, Shinra grin cheekily and walk off into the woods," hey Shinra, were are you going? ", Shinra ignored him as he continue," dammit, you brat", he followed Shinra, after a few seconds they got to a hot spring and a girl was there bathing, "wha!!!".

Shinra instantly clapped his hand on the boy's mouth *shh!* " She's going to hear us you idiot".

" Stop calling me an idiot you idiot, what do you think will happen if we got caught? ".

" Don't worry, as long as we stay quiet no one will hear us".

" Really? ".

" Yes really ".

" It seems like you are enjoying the sense", the boy ask and Shinra nod with a slight grin," I can help you out you know? ".

"How?".

" You moron, look over there and see for yourself ".

*Umm* Shinra look away from the raven haired boy, the boy smirk evilly and push Shinra from behind," oh shit ", Shinra fall off the cliff *ah!!!!!* He hit the water and sank in, seconds later he surface and took a sharp breath, he shook his head to get rid of the water," damn that bastard ", Shinra open his eyes and gasp in shock and awe, the girl was staring straight at him, her hair and eyes were violet which almost made her look like a goddess.

Shinra didn't realize that he was staring at her until his senses came back to him, their cheeks grew shade of red as they realize how close they were.

"H... Hi... I'm... Shinra, and I am about to take my leave", Shinra said with a force smile.

***

Shinra was heading up the stairs of his apartment, and his apartment was on fifth floor, he was soaking from head to toe from falling into the hot springs.

"She might look so innocent and beautiful as a goddess, only if I had know she was pretty rough and aggressive... All of this happened because of captain Kai, I'm not going back there and I'm not going to complete the laps, captain Kai can eat dirt if he wants, I don't care if he's a jōnin or not I will do my things my way ", Shinra was unlocking his door.

" Oh really? I should have known it was so", Kai was standing behind Shinra .

*Ah!!!* Shinra almost jumped out of his skin," Ca... Ca... Ca... Captain Kai?, what are you doing here? ", Shinra ask trying to act cool.

" That's exactly what I was about to ask you... Shinra, and what's up with what you were saying earlier? Oh let me see ", Kai placed his hand on his chin and look up as if he was trying to think about it," yes, now I remember, that I can eat dirt if I want, was it? ".
