The Ways of the Old
AN: The reason I've decided to kick off with this is simple, the Naruto world as it is now, is in no way, shape or form, have any true ninja, the closest would propably be the ANBU Black Ops and even that is a far stretch. So on that I have, decided in my brilliant mind, to remind people what a REAL ninja is.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any Naruto related products. However any OCs are mine and mine alone.
Twas' a beautiful night in the village of Konoha, the village hidden in the leaves. The moon seemed to be three times its usual size, setting a very romantic feeling for the villagers beneath it. The happiness of the village was paramount, people were eating, going out on the town, children are being tucked into bed, and the horrid screams of a small child just outside the village are almost completely unheard.
...Wait a minute
The sickening sound of bladed objects tearing into soft flesh is heard, accompanied by a shrill scream of a hoarse and drained throat. The child, almost no older than the age of four whos sun-kissed blonde hair is matted with blood, continued to scream, even as a large hand covered his mouth. This large hand belongs to a man just entering his early forties, and goes by the name Kane. This is not his real name, just a template to strike fear into his enemies and respect among his band of bandits. He was no scholar however, as he had deduced within his small brain that a child in a small burlap sac, which served as his only clothing, had some amount of money on him.
"Now I'm going to ask this three times, by the third time I better have money in my hands" whispered Kane into the poor childs ear. The boy tried to find the strength to respond, but couldn't as the sick man twisted the blade in his thigh, "Where is your money?" screamed Kane.
"I don't have any!" screamed the pained boy. This did little to deter the man however has he removed the knife, and proceeded to stab the childs other thigh, almost to the bone. This was not an accomplishment of great strength however, as the boy was extremely malnourished. "Where is your money" Kane asked for the second time. "Hey er, boss?" said one of the five bandits behind Kane, "What?" yelled Kane as he removed the knife looking over his shoulder. "What if the kid doesn't really have any money?" spoke the bandit. Kane chuckled and then in a fast motion, slit the bandits throat. "Anyone else want to play twenty questions?" asked Kane to his men. His was response was silence, however not from fear, but from the silence of dead men.
"What the hell?" Kane expressed turning around, before his whole world went dark.
The child pinned to the tree, both by sharp objects and an assortment of rope however, saw everything. A man, covered almost entirely in black, dropped from a tree, stabbing downwards as he sliced diagonaly through a man from the collarbone to the hip, completly without sound. He then threw five shuriken from one hand, killing the two men through jugular shots closest to Kane, snapping the remaining last man's neck who was in off to the left of him with his free arm, the other extended from his throwing of the shurken. As the man fell before him he laid his eyes on Kane, throwing a senbon into the mans head between the eyes. All of this occured simultaneously, in the course of seven seconds.
There was a silent snap as the ropes that bound the boy were cut, and the weapons that pinned him there were removed. The boy fell forward, the sweet embrace of unconciousness embracing him.
AN: Hoped you enjoyed the first chapter, know that the chapters that follow will be far longer, now that the exposition is out of the way.
Also as for the look of the ninja that saved the boy, think of the stereotypical ninja garb. Really nothing special, as stated before theres going to be some old school introduced into the standard world of Naruto.
