Chapter 1: Prelude
In the world of everyday life there are many concealed secrets others do not know. A shinobi is one of these secrets, In the world Shinobi are employable or deadly assassins who have been undergoing these activities ever since the old age of Japan history. Today there are two types of Ninja Good or Evil. Good Ninja are legal ones who take on missions for corporations or businesses. As Evil ninja are illegal shinobi who take on destructive missions and can be considered murderers. Most shinobi are just born as others are taught at Hanzou Academy where a normal high school was a hiding place for shinobi to train.
On a tall building in a busy city a young 6 year old male watched a car drive to the curb next to it. The child had dark skin, spikey black hair, lusterless red pupils, as he wore a pair of black shorts, a black hoodie, black headphones and a pair of black sneakers on his arms and legs were bandages. A pair of dark like figures appeared behind him one in the shape of a man and the other a female.
"Remember you are to assassinate all the witnesses around your target." the man explained.
"Uh-huh." The boy said with no emotion.
"Do not hesitate to end their lives or yours will be taken away." the woman said.
"Got it." the boy took one step off the building and free-falls down to the three suit wearing men. In his mind he remembered the face of his main target it was the man with the mustache and glasses as the pair are his bodyguards. The boy dashed at the three and readied his two weapons his hands.
'This can't be seen as a assassination make it seem like they were taken out by some rival corporation lackey.' the voice of the man's explanation rang through his head.
"What the a kid!?" one of the bodyguards cried as the boy approached as he pulled his hand back and launched it forward with his index finger out and stabbed through the man's heart.
"Is this kid a monster?" the bodyguard trembled as he pulled out his gun but was too late to even use it as the boy already stabbed through his heart without his own knowledge of it. The man quickly looked back at the boy's target and said, "Mr. CEO run..." The man fell to the ground limply already grasped by death himself.
The CEO gasped and made a run for it as the boy simply walked after him not seeing the man worth the chase. The target quickly tripped on his own and fell to the ground injuring himself as tried to pick himself up he looks up to see the boy standing over him with his hands in his pockets.
"Please wait don't kill me, I have a wife and two kids don't do this to me!" the CEO cried as bowed to the boy.
"F-family?" the boy looked down at the man and questioned his words.
"Yes my family they need me and if I die they can survive so please spare me!" the CEO cried out loud.
"..." the boy went through his pockets and pulled out his phone as he scrolled down his pictures, "Is this your family?" the boy showed the man the picture as the man gasped in horror.
"Your family is it? Tell me what is your family?" the boy asked curiously never knowing the true meaning of the word only knowing the two fundamentals he was born to do kill and obey.
"N-no!" the man screamed in horror.
In the picture were 3 dead bodies one was stabbed to death, the other strangled as the last one had a potato sack over her head and was severely beaten.
"Your family what does it feel like to be in one?" the boy asked.
"NOOO!" the man cried out of depression until a white flash was connected to his neck and his head went flying. Blood sprayed on the boy as he continued to look down at the man's dead body. From behind was the shadow like man figure holding a katana.
"Your hesitation will be punished when returning home." the man said rather coldly as the female figure lands by him.
"A ninja never shows hesitation even if it means getting questions to answer that don't matter." the woman spat, "Being a tool for killing is your purpose feelings alike is nothing understand?"
"Right mother." the boy stared down at the pair of dead body.
"Lets return the mission was completed." The pair of the man and woman left the boy alone as rain began to pour down on him.
"Family." the boy sighed as he suddenly jumped into the shadows of the busy city.
(1 month later)
In an old feudal home a team of good shinobi began the infiltration of the current deadly Evil Ninja's home. The team stormed in and surveyed every room except for one as they entered they all gasped at the sight.
In the middle of the room was a pair of dead bodies as a boy stood over them covered in their blood. He looked down on them with no emotion in his eyes, not even sadness or regret shadowed over them nothing but emptiness filled or was inside his eyes.
"What is this?" one of the shinobi gasped.
"Mission Complete." the boy dropped the blood covered kunai onto the floor splashing some of the blood onto the wooden floor as the weapon made a huge... *CLANG!* that rang through the entire home.
The boy turned around to look at the team of shinobi and said, "Farewell." The boy pulled out a white pill and was about to put in his mouth the team saw the boys attempt of suicide and quickly subdued him by pinning him down and removing the cyanide from his grasp. The boy still showed no emotion as they shipped him off after recovering the dead bodies of his parents.
(3 months later)
After the incident with both his parents death the boy was shipped off to a different city in Japan. It appeared he was taken in by some legendary Shinobi called Hanzou and later into the custody of Hanzou National Academy. Arriving at his new temporary home which appeared to be a Sushi shop the boy walked into the place of business alongside the ninja childcare agency lady and entered to see an busy place of eatery manned by a pair of adults and an old man.
"Oh what have we here?" the old man smiled approaching the boy and lady.
"Hello Mr. Hanzou, this is Michael Sarutobi the child you requested to take care of." the lady smiled, "Michael say hi to Sensei Hanzou."
"..." Michael bowed to the man as the legendary ninja laughed.
"Well Michael don't be too uptight, enjoy your stay with us." Hanzou smiled.
"Gratitude." Michael said coldly.
"You know your about the same age as my granddaughter." Hanzou smiled through his thick grey beard, "She's in the bamboo forest training you can meet her if you like?"
"...Accepted." Michael bowed and dropped his backpack and went to the back of the restaurant as Hanzou and the childcare lady watched.
"Excuse me sir but I still don't know why you even bothered to take him in." the lady asked as Hanzou looked at her with a smile. She continued, "This boy was the son of a pair of infamous evil shinobi and was taught to eliminate emotion to be a tool."
"I know but I think that'll change after a while." Hanzou chuckled staring as he saw the boy pick up pace instantly disappearing from sight.
After a few minutes of running the boy was able to make it to the secret training grounds Hanzou mentioned to him. He looked around to see many trees and bamboo shoots around him. Ahead he saw many kunai and shuriken stabbed into the ground or trees in all directions. He walked over to them and picked them up suddenly a high pitched scream was heard further inside the forest. The boy followed it and peeked through the bushes to see a girl his age with black medium cut hair and hazel pupils while wearing a black and red streaked GI. Michael looked at the girl like a nuisance or threat and prepared his hands to deal her a clean death. But after looking closely at the girls failed attempts of trying to hit the targets Michael simply saw that she wasn't a threat or anything she's just a sad little girl who can't do something so simple.
By looking at her it seems she's having trouble aiming her projectile weapons at the hay targets always getting at least one shot or missing the targets badly to the point that its not even funny.
"Why is this so hard?" The girl scratched her head in frustration until she caught sight of the boy, "Hello who are you?"
"Give them to me." Michael reached out his palm for the kunai the girl held.
"U-um okay." the girl smiled as Michael forcefully took it from her.
Michael aimed the kunai at the target and threw it gaining a bulls eye.
"Yay you got it!" the girl cheered.
Michael picked up a few scattered shuriken and Kunai and threw them at the targets gaining many perfect bulls eyes. The girl laughed in enjoyment and danced around Michael singing, "Your incredible you actually got each target!"
"I don't think so they were too easy and anything I do is meaningless until I'm used by my client as a tool." Michael said with no hope in his tone.
"Don't say that!" the girl grew serious.
"It's the truth my existence is nothing but pointless unless someone uses me." Michael explained.
"But don't you have a family who cares for you?" the girl asked.
"Family? I do not have that word or know what it means." Michael looked down staring at the ground.
"Really?" The girl gasped.
"If you know then tell me what is family?" Michael asked.
"U-um family is when you have loved ones caring for you either friend or parents." the girl smiled.
"But I do not have either." the boy sighed, "My existence really is meaningless after all."
"Well then I can give you meaning if you want." the girl smiled.
"Meaning to me living?" Michael looked up at the girl.
"Yes, your existence is to be my friend and make others you meet your friends too." The girl smiled brightly.
"*Gasp*!" Michael gasped as he blushed his once lusterless eyes turned brighter as the girl laughed.
"What's your name?" Michael asked interested in the girl.
"Well I'm Asuka nice to meet you uh..." Asuka rubbed her head.
"My name is Michael." Michael said nervously, "Asuka will you marry me?"
"I'm sorry no." Asuka denied the boy.
"Oh sorry." Michael looked saddened by the rejection.
"Don't worry lets be friends!" Asuka extended her hand out to the boy.
"O-okay." Michael nods while blushing as he took Asuka's hand into his.
