Ep 10: I am the ninja!

Mio's voice: This is something incredible. Ninjas here? In modern time? I thought they were only in my imagination, but after some incidents, I realized they exist. Some of them attacked my school, I don't know what are they doing. For now, the police arrived and the students were safe. I don't know where's Hasashi-san, Nakahara-senpai, Miyamoto and Hasegawa. (Imagining what she said)

Previously, Ryu was slashed mortally by Shin, then he took the Ancient katana and leaves. Ryu was faint and bleeding. Sakura and Musashi the samurai were in shock about that.

Sakura: (Very worried) Ryu! Ryu! RYU!

It's seen Ryu has a big injury over his torso and chest. He was bleeding.

Musashi: That Shin. I didn't think he came by himself, taking the advantages of our fight.

Sakura: You are…

Musashi: (Coming to Ryu) He's mortally wounded.

Sakura: I have to take him into a hospital, but he will be discovered as a ninja…

Musashi: Don't move him! A single move and he's doomed.

Sakura: What? (Tearfully) And can I do?

Musashi: Allow me.

Musashi used hands position then touched over Ryu's injury.

Ryu reacted very weak as he stops bleeding.

Sakura: Ryu!

Musashi: It should be enough. It's an ancient technic, which reduces mortal damage for a while. Now you can take him.

Sakura: Thanks.

Musashi: Tell him when he's recovered, I'll wait him for a rematch. See you.

Musashi disappeared by using ninjutsu. At that moment, Takeru and Nozomi arrived.

At his hideout, Shin was smiling as looking the Ancient katana he got.

Shin: He! So this is the Ancient katana, the Dragon blade that the Hasashi clan was protecting.

Ninja: Sir, the Samurai didn't return, he moved away.

Shin: That traitor! It doesn't matter I have what I want.

Ninja: We lost many men because of that brat. But it seems the police realized our existent. They could come here.

Shin: That's lame. I have this so they won't be a problem.

At school, the students were safe as leaving the school.

Police chief: Take those corpses. Let's investigate those from where they are!

Mio: This is going to be a good report (Worried) Hasashi-san, where are you?

At his home Ryu was on his bed. Sakura was on his side.

Sakura: (As stroking his forehead) Ryu, you can't die.

Nozomi: (Appearing) Lady Sakura, I brought more medicaments but his wound is more serious what we think.

Sakura: I must do something!

Nozomi: What about if the Shimomura clan attack?

Sakura: I asked you to watching.

Nozomi: Takeru is watching. But…

It's seen Takeru was moving to another place. He seems angry.

Takeru: The Shimomura clan is near! They killed my brother! I'll make them pay!

Sakura: Nozomi, go after Takeru. I'll take care Ryu.

Nozomi: Lady Sakura… don't tell me you…

Sakura: I'll use this to save Ryu. Even it means risky for me.

Nozomi: No my lady! It's too risky.

Sakura: I'll be fine, just go!

Nozomi: (Worried) Yes, my lady!

Nozomi leaves. Sakura was at side of Ryu.

Sakura: I'll use this to heal you. (Unzipping her shirt) Don't die Ryu.

In a past event, it's seen a kid Ryu with his family.

Ryu: Father, I'll be a ninja to honor our family. But mostly for my ancestor Hanzo.

Kyosuke: Ryu, I'm glad you take this issue for our family.

Kira: You'll need to have our successors, that's why you have to get along with the daughter of Nakamura clan.

Ryu: Fine. Mother.

Then, suddenly a ninja was with him.

Ryu: You are…

Ninja: I'm your ancestor Hanzo Hasashi. You're too young to meet me. Keep fighting to honor our clan!

Ryu: Yes! I will!

Hanzo: That's the spirit. We'll meet in a future. Do your best.

Then Ryu felt an energy covering his body.

Ryu: (With closed eyes) What's this sensation? I'm feeling energized and feeling better.

Ryu opened his eyes and realized was half-naked on his bed.

Ryu: What? (Confused) Eh? (Funny blushed) Eh?

It's seen Sakura on his side at the bed. She was full naked.

Ryu: (In his state) Sakura!

Sakura opened her eyes, she seems exhausted. When she realized Ryu was awaken, she blushed and scream.

Ryu: Hey! Hey! Why you were naked?

Sakura: It's not what you think! I wasn't making babies yet!

Ryu: What the hell?! (Realizing his body) The wounds… are gone?

Sakura: (Covering herself with bed blanket) I'm glad you're okey.

Ryu: I feel healed. How?

Sakura: I used a secret technic in my family. It's a healing skill which cures some fatal injuries. But it only works with direct contact. And it requires a lot of chi, almost finishing my life energy.

Ryu: Wait… so you were over me?

Sakura: (Blushed) Just forget that. I did it to save you.

Ryu: (Waking up) Thanks Sakura. You need to rest.

Sakura: Ryu, you'll go after Shimomura clan?

Ryu: That bastard took my katana. I have to get it back.

Sakura: (Trying to stop him) No! You almost die by him. This time you will die!

Ryu: I know, but for my family sake, I have to go. I was chosen to keep that Ancient katana. I can't fail my family trust.

Sakura: (Feeling weak) Ryu…

Ryu: I'll win, don't worry.

Outside of an old building, some cop patrols arrived.

Police officer: We tracked their hideout. It's in this old building. Team, go, shoot who represents menaces!

The police troops was heading to the building but then some armed men arrived and began shooting to the police.

Shin: I contracted more mercenaries to keep busy the police.

Ninja: Sir, why did you do that?

Shin: I need all my men to care of that Hasashi brat. He could be still alive.

As running, Takeru saw how the police was facing the mercenaries.

Takeru: It's a shooting! Then the Shimomura clan must be… there!

Nozomi: There you are, Hasegawa.

Takeru: What are you doing?

Nozomi: You'll need support. This is a suicide attack.

Takeru: If you want.

Nozomi: This is just because my lady asked me.

Takeru: His room must be… in the last floor!

They jumped and went through windows.

Takeru: I'm here to kill you!

Then the ninjas surrounded Takeru and Nozomi.

Takeru: I don't have time for weak ones!

Nozomi: Let's finish them.

Takeru and Nozomi fought and kill them.

Nozomi: That was easy… (Suddenly a slash passed over her back) What?

Takeru: What was that?

Shin used Ryu's katana and injured Nozomi, nearly killing her.

Shin: So you came to replace that Hasashi?

Takeru: (Angry) You're the boss? You ordered your clan to kill my brother years ago!

Shin: You're brother? You mean that weak boy who protected that Hasashi kid? What a waste.

Takeru: (Angry) Waste? (In rage as remembering Takashi dying) My brother… You'll pay for that!

Takeru attacked Shin but he stop him easily.

Shin: You're not worthy to kill! (Slashed and cut his katana with the dragon blade, nearly injuring Takeru) What's wrong?

Takeru: (Injured) Damn! That's the Dragon blade! I'm lucky it didn't kill me instantly.

Shin: I'm able to cut a katana but not meat?

Ryu's voice: You can't use its power to cut everything!

They realized Ryu arrived in his ninja costume. He came from the shadows.

Takeru: Ryu!

Nozomi: My lady healed you… but what about her?

Ryu: She's fine but tired.

Shin: Good skill in coming from the darkness. So you came to be killed by your own weapon?

Ryu: No, I came to avenge my family and my friend!

Shin: Let's see if you can take back this Ancient katana.

Ryu run and threw kunais to Shin. He tried to cut them but just hit them.

Shin: Shit! This katana can't cut?

Ryu: I told you! My katana doesn't recognize the user by his spirit. So you can use it as a regular blade!

Ryu moved fast and kicked to his back, making him fall.

Shin: What are you waiting for? Move your asses and kill that little bastard!

More ninjas came from shadows and went to attack Ryu. Ryu used a hands position and created clones to kill the other ninjas by using shurikens, kunais and chained spear.

Takeru: It's amazing. He can control the clones and their attacks at the same time. Even that's very hard for me!

Nozomi: That's the way Hasashi!

Ryu: (To them) You two, hold on. After I finish that man, I'll take you.

Shin: I'll show what a real ninja is!

Shin used hands position, then his shadow was moving to Ryu. He dodged but the shadow became spiky and injured Ryu.

Nozomi: What kind of skill is that?

Shin: This is the special skill of my clan! Shadow attack!

Ryu tries to avoid the shadow spikes but kept being injured.

Ryu: (Nearly bleeding) I didn't know that jutsu! But I won't be defeated!

Ryu used hands position but suddenly the shadows spikes pierced his body. Takeru and Nozomi were in shock to see that.

Shin: Ha! He's dead, now I don't have menaces against my plans.

He came to see Ryu's corpses, but he just showed his tongue as mocking.

Shin: What the hell?

It' seen he was a decoy.

Takeru: The substitution jutsu!

Shin: That bastard!

Suddenly Ryu threw shurikens to Shin, making him drop the Ancient katana. Then he injured Shin with a kunai by cutting many parts of his body.

Shin: (Injured) You cheated! My shadow attacked a decoy.

Ryu: It's not enough!

He kicked on his face then threw him away.

Shin: Don't think I'm defeated. Troops, to him!

Ryu: He! You mean, them?

It's seen more ninjas from his clan were killed, by Ryu's clones. Then they disappeared.

Ryu: I knew you fight without honor, so I sent my clones to kill you're underlings, as I was fighting you. (Feeling exhausted) But it costed me too much chi. The mercenaries are busy with the police. No one will come to help you.

Shin: Now what? You're going to kill me?

Ryu: (Serious) Right.

He launched a chained spear which pierced Shin to his chest. Also picked up his katana.

Ryu: Get over here!

Ryu brought Shin to him, as piercing him with his katana with a big strength to his body.

Shin: (As bleeding) Good, boy!

Ryu: (Angry) For my family, for my friend!

In savage mode, he cut deeply Shin until he faint.

Takeru: (Amazed) Ryu.

Nozomi: It's not good to make angry to this guy.

Ryu: I did it! I DID IT!

Sakura: (Arriving) Ryu!

Ryu: Sakura? Why you came? You're not in good condition!

Sakura: I'm fine. I see the enemies were defeated. I helped a little to the police to eliminate those mercenaries. They will come here soon.

Ryu: We must leave.

Shin: Not so fast! (As taking a device) We all are going to die here! In 30 seconds! Bye! (Dying as pressing the button)

Ryu noticed there many bombs hidden in each corners.

Ryu: Shit! Let's get out!

Sakura: Wait! I must advise the police to evacuate too. (Using hands position and summoned her wolf Sho) Indicate them there are explosives!

Sho run very fast as going down to the stairs.

The police were heading to the room.

Police: What happened, those mercenaries died in an instant? (Imagining how the mercenaries died due Sakura shot tiny pins to their heads) We have to investigate!

Police chief: Is that an act of those ninjas?

Suddenly Sho appeared to them.

Police chief: A wolf?

Sho pointed to a hidden explosive, then it run away.

Police chief: There are explosives? It's a trap. Everyone, evacuate!

The police retrieve from the building.

Ryu: Now let's jumped before being toasted!

Takeru took Nozomi and jumped to the windows. They used a big cape as parachute.

Ryu: Now us, jump!

Sakura: Yes!

Ryu and Sakura used another cape as parachute but suddenly the building exploded. The parachute was burnt. They fell in a great high.

Ryu: Oh, crap!

Sakura: We're doom!

Nozomi: (Realizing that) Sakura-sama!

Ryu: Sakura, use your weapons to avoid the fall!

Sakura: And what about you?

Ryu: Don't worry, it's in my own!

Sakura: No! (Embracing him) You promised me to stay at my side! Don't break your promise again!

Ryu: Sakura… I… don't want you risk your life for me again.

Sakura: (Sad) And yours?

Ryu: Sakura, I never had the time to respond your feelings about our engagement because you won't like me!

Sakura: I love you! That's why I want you to be at my side!

Ryu: (Smiling) I'm glad to hear that. That's why… (Using hands position, his hawk Taka was summoned) I'll put you safe. (To his hawkTaka) Taka, take her!

Taka grabbed Sakura from her shoulders with its legs. Ryu kept falling as Sakura was being carried by Taka.

Sakura: (Worried) Ryu! RYU!

Ryu: (As falling) Damn it! My chi is low, I can't do more jutsu. Only I have to do this.

Ryu was using another hands position, his body was covered by energy, until he crashed to the ground.

Sakura, Takeru and Nozomi realized how Ryu fell in a hard crash. Sakura went to him.

Sakura: (Very worried) Ryu!

She realized Ryu was very wounded and bleeding. He seems dead.

Sakura: (In shock) Ryu? Hey! Is this a decoy? Come on! (Very desperate) Ryu! Ryu!

She touched his chest.

Sakura: Ryu! Come on!

At am unknown place, Ryu was awaken but then Hanzo his ancestor appeared.

Ryu: Hanzo Hasashi, my ancestor!

Hanzo: You can't die yet. Remember? There's people who are waiting for you.

Ryu: Yeah.

Hanzo: We'll meet in the another life. Keep training to be a ninja.

Ryu: I'll do it.

Then Ryu disappeared.

Hanzo: Do your best, Ryu Hasashi.

Back to reality, Sakura keeps trying to wake him up.

Sakura: (Tearfully) Ryu!

Suddenly Ryu reacted as coughing and breathing. Sakura was surprised to see that.

Ryu: Ah! Crap!

Sakura: Ryu! Are you okey?

Ryu: Somehow I managed to reduce the damage!

Sakura: But how?

Ryu: When Musashi used a special technic on me, I was able to copy that. Remember what he said, it's like a protection which prevents deadly strikes. I risked myself because I had low chi.

Sakura: I'm glad you're alive. (Embracing him) You were so brave as a ninja.

Ryu: Yeah... (She kissed him directly) wow!

Then her wolf Sho and his hawk Taka came to them.

Sakura: (Stroking it) Good job Sho. We got the police out of the explosion.

Takeru and Nozomi came too.

Takeru: So you survived?

Nozomi: Are you okey?

Ryu: We must leave, the police will investigate this mess.

Then the police were inspecting the area.

Police chief: Begin to analizy these corpses and the rest of the building.

Ryu and his team were running until they reached a bridge. Sakura was carrying Ryu due he's still weak.

Ryu: I revenged my parents and friend. Now I'll have my peaceful life as normal teenager.

Sakura: (Little blushed) Yeah, and also we can start our relationship as lovers.

Takeru: Are you going to quit your job as ninja in order to have a boring life?

Ryu: That was I wanted, but still I'm a ninja. We have duties to kill the evil.

Nozomi: You're right.

Ryu: We're shadow killers, we must hide our identities to keep our lives. That's our legacy from our ancestors.

Sakura: Fine, let's try our double life.

Suddenly she slipped, dropping Ryu who fell from the bridge and fell to the river.

Nozomi: Again?

Ryu was floating as being carried by the river.

Sakura: (Funny desperate) Ah! Ryu!

They run at side of the river trying to get Ryu.

Ryu: (Funny weak) I'll meet you again, Hanzo Hasashi.

At next day at journalism club, Mio and her group were working a lot.

Mio: I knew it! Ninjas exist! Many students are reading our news about them.

Ryu: Congratulations. Your goal of being a news reporter is being real.

Mio: Yeah, and thanks to everyone to help me.

Ryu: No, It's your effort of looking for the true. (Thinking) "As lons as you don't discover our identity"

Mio: I'll put my effort to find out more about them. Once I graduate, I'll start my carreer as news reporter. I hope you can watch me soon.

Ryu: Yes.

Years later…

Mio's voice: Years later after the incident of ninjas in our city, there are rumours about other incidents, which involve them.

At a bar, many gangsters were drinking as exposing their guns.

Gang leader: (Drunken) Hahahahaha! Other attack to a rich company, done!

Gang member 1: Sir, we'll gain more money after that!

Gang member 2: You're going to rule more of them!

Gang leader: Yes! Let's drink a lot!

Gang member 3: More companies are under your orders.

Gang leader: Yeah! (Shooting to a bottle with a gun) Or else if they defy me!

The bar owner was scared after seeing that.

Bar owner: Sir, please, those drinks are expensives to bring!

Gang leader: (Angry) Are you giving me orders?

Bar owner: (Scared) No! It's just we don't need much problem here!

Gang leader: Ha! What problem? I do whatever I want. I rule this territory!

Ban owner: (As cleaning a bottle) I don't want more problems, like in the past.

Gang leader: Past?

Then, another gang member came to his boss.

Gang member 4: Sir, something was launched here.

Gang leader: What is it?

Gang member 4: This.

He showed to his boss an object, a kunai.

Gang leader: What the fuck is that? A kunai?

Bar owner: (In shock) No way! (The bottle fell from his hand) Like before?

Gang leader: Do you know what this is? What kind of joke is?

Bar owner: Years ago, my family was involved in an incident; an extortionist group menaced my family, I was a kid. Suddenly it came from the shadows and all those men who were armed were killed in an instant. The most brutal I've ever seen.

Gang leader: What came from the shadows?

Bar owner: A ninja!

Suddenly the gang laughed a lot.

Gang leader: Are you kidding me? A ninja? In modern time? Hahahaha!

Bar owner: I know you won't believe me.

Gang leader: Whoever he is, he won't come. I have a lot of corrupted cops under my orders. They'll shoot whoever come to disturb me!

Bar owner: Maybe, but that ninja is deadly!

Suddenly some blood drops fell from the ceiling stained the gang leader's face.

Gang leader: What?

Then a cop corpse fell from the ceiling. The gang was amazed because of that.

Gang member 1: What the hell?

The gang took their guns. The bar owner was scared and hide in his bar table.

Bar owner: He's here!

Gang leader: Do you want to screw me?

Suddenly a slash passed throught some gang members, killing them. Some kunais and shurikens came from the shadows killing other gang members.

Gang leader: (Using a phone) Where are you morons? I need support!

It's seen the corrupted cops who were watching, were killed too.

Gang leader: (Using his phone) Asnwer! Damn it! (Pointing his gun to a side) You won't scare me! I have powerfull friends, they'll hunt you…

Suddenly a slash passed throught his chest. Killing immediately. The bar owner noticed that all gang members were killed, some by being torn and some being shot.

Bar owner: So you came, even you said you won't help us. (It's revealed he's the child of the family who Ryu saved before) My family entrust our business in bar. Maybe you don't remember me.

Ryu's voice: I know you.

The bar owner noticed 4 ninjas came from the shadows. They were Ryu and his team as older teens.

Ryu: We'll kill every evil of this country.

Then they disappeared. Outside, Ryu and the others were running over some buildings.

Ryu: Another mission, success!

Sakura: Ryu, we have to have more free time for us, if we want to have our child. (Little blushed as touching her belly) Remember it, my dear husband.

Ryu: (Little blushed) Sure, Sakura.

Nozomi: I'll report our progress to your family, Sakura-sama!

Takeru: And I should send more letters to keep my contact with Mio. Hidding our identities.

Ryu: All of us have good lives too. So let's do our best to keep our double lives.

Sakura: Sure, dear husband.

Ryu: We are ninjas! Let's go!

It's seen Mio was in an journalism office as writing news in her laptop.

Mio's voice: It's said the ninjas are just killers, but some of them are honor warriors. I don't know the truth, but whoever they are we hope they are from the good side.

It's seen Ryu, Sakura, Nozomi and Takeru keep running as jumping in the night.

Mio's voice: Our world will take time to accept them. Those brave warriors, we hope you help us. Good Ninjas.

THE END.
