Ep 5: Revenge from the past

At school entrance, Ryu was walking as seeing other students arriving.

Ryu: I'm not sure if I should be the only ninja infiltrated. Also… Sakura and her servant.

Mio: Hasashi-san, good morning. You get early.

Ryu: Well, I was getting used to know more classmates.

Mio: Oh, look! It's Nakahara-senpai!

It's seen Sakura arriving to school as some petals fell with the wind.

Ryu: Sakura.

Mio: With that image as those petals, her name is marvelous.

Sakura: Good morning Ryu.

Ryu: Hey, Sakura.

Mio: Good morning, Nakahara-senpai.

Sakura: Good morning, Kaname.

Mio: I want to interview you, can I ask you?

Sakura: Sure, what about in break time?

Mio: Yes, thanks! You look beautiful with this environment.

Sakura: By the way, Nozomi, can you stop doing that?

It's seen Nozomi was pouring petals from a box over Sakura.

Ryu: Too exaggerated.

Later, a boy arrived to school. He seems serious.

Boy: This is where Hasashi is going?

In break time Ryu was walking as checking his katana.

Ryu: I hope those bastards won't attack here, I could put in danger the students. (Looking all sides) I can't let anyone see me holding this.

Then he saw the boy in school uniform.

Boy: I found you, Ryu Hasashi!

Ryu: (Quickly hiding his katana) You?

The boy took a katana too and pointed to Ryu.

Boy: You will pay now!

At school terrace, Sakura was taking her meal as Mio was talking with her.

Mio: So Nakahara-senpai, you came from an important family, right?

Sakura: Of course. We have big deals with other companies in Japan.

Mio: You are so popular, any boy would fall for you.

Sakura: Hehehe! (Fixing her hair) I worked a lot to keep my beauty since I was a child. (Some petals fell over her) My family raised a daughter who inherit the head of Nakahara family. (Funny upset) Nozomi, quit!

Nozomi: (As pouring more petals) But Sakura-sama, the environment fits good on you.

Then the three girls were having their meals.

Sakura: For now I want to keep this peace.

Nozomi: Agree, Sakura-sama.

Suddenly something came from the door in a big crash. It's seen Ryu and the boy were fighting using their katanas.

Ryu: Stop! We can't fight here!

Boy: I don't care!

Mio: (Surprised) What the…?

Sakura: Nozomi!

Nozomi: Yes!

Suddenly Nozomi hit Mio on back neck, knocking her.

Sakura: What are you doing?

Ryu: Don't ask me!

Boy: Hey! Don't distract! We have business to do!

Sakura: What business?

Ryu: We'd better stop now. Let's talk.

Nozomi: And who the hell is that guy?

Boy: (Looking at the girls) Oh! What pretty ladies we have. Nice to meet you, I'm Takeru Hasegawa.

Sakura: Hasegawa?

Nozomi: The Hasegawa ninja clan!

Takeru: That's right. (Flirting) Ladies.

Ryu: (Little upset) So you ignore our battle by flirting?

Takeru: Don't think I forgive what you did, Ryu!

Ryu: (In sadness) I don't want to remember that time.

Takeru: (Angry) Because…you let Takashi die!

Sakura and Nozomi were surprised to hear that.

Ryu: That's right. I let my best friend being killed, because of me.

In a flashback, a kid Ryu was holding an injured kid, who bleeding and dying.

Ryu: (Screaming) TAKASHI!

In reality, the teens were in a silent environment.

Sakura: When you told me about your friend killed, it was in your childhood.

Ryu: Yes, I was a target but Takashi was killed instead of me.

Sakura: And because of that, you left the village.

Ryu: Yes.

Takeru: It doesn't matter! You let my little brother died!

Ryu: I can't fix about death, but I wanted to continue my life without blood or killing. But I'm a ninja, that's what we do.

Takeru: Let's put an end to this! This night, let's fight, or Takashi's soul won't be in peace!

Ryu: I understand, if you want revenge I'll fight you.

Sakura: Break is almost over, we must go to class.

Ryu: You're right, but… (Realizing Mio was unconscious) What happened to Kaname?

Sakura: Are you two idiots? We can't reveal our ninjutsu to people. We must act with caution!

Ryu: (Funny worried) But she's not dead, right?

Nozomi: Don't worry, it's a technic from Miyamoto clan. It's a powerful hit which immobilizes the person, as fainting. Also an effect occurs in the nerves which connects with the brain, specially the memory zone.

Ryu: That means?

Nozomi: A hit makes the person forget what happened one hour ago. She will be fine when she wakes up.

Takeru: Let's go to our class. (To Ryu) Don't forget our fight!

Ryu: Fine.

Later, Ryu was thinking worried.

Ryu: I'll face Takeru this night.

School girl: Hey Kaname-san, why you are drowsy?

Mio: I don't remember, I fell asleep during break time?

At night; Ryu was running in his ninja costume.

Ryu: Takashi, I know your brother won't forgive me about that, but if this is the way to put an end of his revenge.

He arrived to a baseball field.

Ryu: Where are you, Takeru?

Then he saw another ninja arriving from the shadows. It was Takeru in ninja costume.

Takeru: Finally we'll put an end in this!

Ryu: Listen, what happened to Takashi…

Takeru: (Angry) Shut up! (Taking his katana) My family could forgive you but I never did that!

Ryu: I know I was the target for enemies because my family was chosen to keep the Ancient katana.

Takeru: (Angry) Even that, my brother had to pay his life because of you?

Ryu: He shouldn't be killed because of that, but I didn't want that too!

Takeru: I lost my only little brother, you'll pay with your life! Prepare yourself!

Takeru run and attacked with his katana. Ryu used his katana to protect.

Takeru: So that's the Ancient katana? It doesn't look special.

Ryu: It's just more than a simple katana!

Both began fighting with their katanas in high speed.

Ryu: Didi you forget? We used to train since our childhood.

Takeru: You're right, but I trained harder and learned my ninjutsu skills!

Takeru moved back and launch a smoke bomb. Ryu was covered by smoke. At that moment Takeru used a position hand.

After the smoke, Ryu was looking everywhere.

Ryu: Where are you?

Then Takeru was behind him, he used his katana but Ryu blocked at time.

Ryu: I told you, I know katana battle!

Takeru: Don't underestimate me!

Then another Takeru was at other side and went to attack.

Ryu: (Surprised) What the hell?

Takeru: You're finished!

Ryu reacted and launched some shurikens to the other Takeru.

Then Ryu slashed the first Takeru who then disappeared in dust.

Ryu: That technic… it must be…

Takeru: Yeah, this is the special technic from my family! Clone jutsu!

Ryu: Clone jutsu. A ninjutsu skill which a person can create a copy of himself to confuse the enemy. Like an image.

Takeru: That's right, but in my case, my clone can move and attack like it was real.

Ryu: But for that, it requires a lot of chi!

Takeru: That's why I trained a lot! To defeat you in this time!

Ryu: I know my words won't be enough to forgive me about Takashi, but listen…

Takeru: I said I won't hear your words! I'll hurt you a lot in order to you feel the same like me!

Suddenly some blades were launched to them, they evaded at time.

Ryu: What was that?

Voices: We found you! Hasashi brat!

They noticed two ancient warriors were in front of them.

Warrior 1: So it's you, Ryu Hasashi.

Warrior 2: The boss who hired us, asked us to kill you.

Ryu: Who's that boss? The same from that clan?

Takeru: I see you have problems in this place too.

Ryu: Yeah, but I'm getting used to it.

Takeru: Who the hell are you to interrupting our fight?

Warrior 1: I'm Teleklos!

Warrior 2: And I'm Nikandros!

Warrior 1 and 2: We are the Spartan warriors!

Ryu: Spartans? I think I failed in ancient history.

Takeru: Ancient warriors, but not strong like ninjas!

Teleklos: Don't underestimate the Spartan strength!

Nikandros: We were trained to be resistant, like our ancestors!

Then they showed their spears and shields, ready to face Ryu and Takeru.

Ryu: Oh yeah? Let's see who's the best? A ninja or a Spartan?

Ryu attacked to Teleklos, and Takeru faced to Nikandros.

Suddenly the Spartans used their shields to hit Ryu and Takeru, making them fall.

Ryu: They're strong.

Takeru: Damn! That's it! I'll kill them at the same time!

Ryu: Wait! They are too strong to handle.

Takeru: Don't talk to me as a friend!

Ryu: I don't like it but we have to work together.

Teleklos: You don't get along it seems.

Nikandros: It doesn't matter, we are ordered to kill the Hasashi brat and whoever is with him.

Suddenly a group of ninjas arrived to the field.

Teleklos: What are you doing here?

Ninja: Our leader Shimomura sent us to make sure you don't fail in your mission.

Nikandros: Tsk! That man didn't trust us? We'll show him we can win!

Ryu: Great! After those warriors, we'll have to handle the Shimomura clan.

Sakura's voice: Then let us help you with that!

Then Sakura and Nozomi in their ninja costumes arrived.

Ryu: Sakura! And that tiny girl.

Nozomi: (Funny angry) I'm Nozomi! You numb skull!

Sakura: Ryu, we'll take those ninjas, you two face those warriors.

Ryu: Right!

Ninja: Don't fuck us! Two girls can't defeat us!

Sakura and Nozomi moved fast and attacked the ninjas with their skills.

Ryu: You can fight with us without interferences!

Teleklos: Come! Ninjas brat can't defeat us neither!

Nikandros: Our strength is greater!

Ryu: Alright, I'll face the one of them. You can do it with the other?

Takeru: Don't give me orders!

Ryu: Just do it!

Takeru: Fine!

They moved but suddenly they crashed in funny way by hitting their heads.

Ryu: (Funny angry) What are you doing?

Takeru: (Funny angry) Focus where you are going!

Ryu: (Funny angry) I thought you go to the left!

Takeru: (Funny angry) I don't remember you ask me where to go!

Teleklos: What a group of morons.

Nikandros: Let's kill them.

Ryu: Here we go!

Takeru: Fine!

They moved but they crashed again. They were angry but trying to be calmed.

Ryu: Listen Takeru, I know you hate me for your brother but now we have to work together.

Takeru: Tch! I don't like to work with you, but our fight was interrupted so we have to do it.

Ryu: Yeah.

Sakura: (As fighting) Stop arguing and fight already!

Ryu: Let's go!

Takeru: Okey!

Ryu and Takeru attacked the spartans.

Takeru: I'll finish you! (Using hands pose) Clone jutsu!

Nikandros: What a cheap trick.

Takeru attack Nikandros with his katana but the spartan used his shield to protect. Then he used his spear to pierce Takeru but he disappeared, he was a clone.

Nikandros: I failed?

Takeru: Bad aim! (Using his katana) I'm the real one!

Nikandros: (Grabbing Takeru's arm) I knew it! I felt your presence!

Then he used his shield to hit him to the ground with too much strong.

Takeru: (Injured) Damn it!

Nikandros: We trained our senses to find our targets!

Ryu was fighting against Teleklos with kunais, Teleklos used his shield to protect.

Ryu: They're strong, my taijutsu won't be enough. So I have to use my speed!

Teleklos: Show me your skill from the Hasashi clan.

Nozomi: Sakura-sama, are you sure that kid can win?

Sakura: I don't know but as my future husband, he must prove his skills. Let's focus to take down these ninjas!

Sakura and Nozomi continued fighting the ninjas.

Ryu: (Taking his katana) Alright, this Ancient katana was kept by my family, so I have to use it to defeat my enemies!

Teleklos: You won't kill me!

Ryu run and used his katana, Teleklos used his shield but was cut by Ryu's katana.

Ryu: This is the greatest katana! The Dragon blade!

At that moment Ryu sliced Teleklos vertically, seemly killing him.

Teleklos: (Dying) That's the ancient katana!

Ryu: Takeru?

He noticed Nikandros was defeating Takeru. He grabbed him and launched him to the ground. He attempted to kill Takeru with his spear.

Nikandros: Die!

Ryu was seeing that, then he remembered his childhood, a kid embraced him as bleeding. That kid was Takashi who was protecting Ryu from a distant attack.

Takashi's voice: Ryu, you're my friend.

Ryu reacted at time and run.

Takeru: (Confused) Ryu?

Ryu arrived to saved Takeru by using his katana to stop Nikandros's spear.

Ryu: I won't let anyone die because of me!

Nikandros: (Angry) You little bastard!

Ryu: I'll handle this!

Teleklos: (Appearing) I'm not dead yet!

Nikandros: Let's kill that kid!

Takeru: (Injured) Shit! How could I be defeated?

Ryu: I'll defeat those two by myself.

Takeru: Are you insane? You are just one!

Ryu: I can do it! I owned Takashi's life. I won't let his brother suffer more!

Ryu was doing hand position.

Teleklos: We won't let you do that!

Nikandros: Let's kill him!

The two Spartans attacked Ryu at the same time. But then it's seen two Ryu were there and used their katanas to stop their attacks.

Teleklos: What?

Nikandros: Is that?

Takeru: (Surprised) How did he learn my ninjutsu skill so fast?

Teleklos: It doesn't matter because…

Nikandros: Those two aren't the real.

It's seen Ryu was behind them ready to attack.

Teleklos and Nikandros: There he is!

They used their spears and pierced Ryu, seeming killing him.

Takeru: Ryu!

But the Spartans were surprised to see that wasn't Ryu, it was a decoy.

Takeru: The substitution jutsu?

Then a fast slash appeared and killed the Spartans at the same time.

Ryu: A ninja won't die until he makes sure to kill his enemies!

Ryu used his katana in a fast slash to kill the Spartans.

Teleklos: (Dying) Damn!

Nikandros: (Dying) We lost?

Ryu was very echausted as his clones disappeared.

Sakura and Nozomi came to them.

Sakura: Ryu! Are you okey?

Ryu: I think so, what about those ninjas?

Sakura: (Feeling proud) He! Nozomi and I beat them.

Nozomi: Yeah look (Pointing the ninjas corpses) They were difficult but we could beat them.

Ryu: (Funny worried) I'm glad we're the same side.

Sakura: But Ryu, you are weak.

Nozomi: You spent a lot of chi.

Ryu: (Weak) Yeah, I fooled those guys by using different skills.

Sakura: Using different ninja skills require a lot of energy, your body could be exhausted!

Takeru: Impossible! How could you learn my skill so fast? I took me almost a year to learn and you learned by watching once?

Ryu: I had a great skill, not only in ninjutsu. Also a fast learning by watching a ninjutsu.

Sakura: As expected from my future husband.

Takeru: (Surprised) Husband?!

Nozomi: I guess you didn't know.

Sakura: I think we can work together as a team.

Nozomi: Are you sure, Sakura-sama?

Ryu: Takeru, even you hate me. You need to know why Takashi died and why those ninjas are after me.

Takeru: Tsk! I guess I'll hear your words.

At the hideout, Shin was angry. He was with an Amazon and a samurai.

Shin: Those Spartans were useless! I hope you are better than those!

Samurai: Hmm!

Amazon: (Smiling evilly) He! I'll go after that kid!

Shin: It looks like that kid got a team but they won't be a great menace!
