I know I have to complete a lot of chapter but this particular story would not leave me alone at all, you won't believe it, but I was thinking about the story so intensely that I sub-consciously wrote it in my English homework , please read and review .
Furinji Hayato, the elder of the Ryozanpaku dojo, also known as the invincible superman, a man in his eighties but could give youngsters a run for money in terms of both stamina and power. The old man was a master of martial arts, and it is said that he had never lost a single match in his whole life .
The old man often enjoyed the calmness and the tranquility of the night by taking long walk It always calmed him down and let him think more clearly. Right now he was taking a walk under the full moon thinking about the events transpired during the last few months; The dojo had been extra energetic during the last few months due to the presence of their one and only no 1 disciple Kenichi. Kenichi's arrival though random and unexpected had a lot of positive impact on the other members of the dojo, Miu who had always been a lonely child as she was to perfect for others to approach had gotten a good friend and looked more cheerful than ever, the masters who were rather uncomfortable with each other's presence had come closer and were on their way to become a tight-knit family.
The old man could not help but chuckle at the thought of the brown haired boy; the boy had grown a lot in terms of power and technique, defeating opponents stronger than him one after another even though he had no potential for fighting. The masters had really out done themselves on this one, who would have thought that the boy who was constantly bullied throughout his life through primary and middle school would rise to become such a strong adversary,holding his ground in the cruel world of martial arts.
'The boy is growing well but his growth has attracted the attention of quite troublesome group, the kid is a magnet for trouble that's for sure 'the old man chuckled once again scaring a no people around him. The message he had received from Ogata was really troubling if Yami had started to move, it would not end well . The old man was so lost in thought that he did not notice that he walked quite a distance from the dojo and reached the 'park'.
The park was a very important landmark in the lives of Kenichi , Miu and Odin Aka Ryuto, It was the place was a turning point for Ryuto who later became Odin. Kenichi and Miu had exchanged badges here which was the foundation for their this place would once again be the starting place of another legend.
the Elder's train of thought were halted by a particular scene before him, a blonde boy was sleeping on a park bench, he had covered himself with a blanket but the blanket was too small so his head and feet were visible to him .The boy must have been around a year older than his granddaughter. Looking closely the elder found that one of the eye of the boy was covered with a white cloth.
The old man was a curious man by nature,fact that the teen had only one eye increased his curiosity. It's not everyday you find a one-eyed boy sleeping out in the park. 'Must have lost it in some kind of fight'Hayato thought, as he made his way towards the sleeping blond teen.
'Looks like the kid had run from home or something 'the elder concluded as the boy had a luggage bag with him and a scroll, scroll? what an odd child.
The elder slowly approached the blond teenager to ask him whether he was OK and whether he had a place to sleep as sleeping in the park was a crime which could lead to a week in jail;just before he could touch the child to wake him up the boy opened his eye.
"How may I help you sir?" the blonde asked irritated by the fact that his nap had been disturbed. 'Holy shit he is huge good thing I was always surrounded by giants' Naruto though as he prepared himself for a fight.
The elder was surprised by that fact that the blond kid could actually sense his presence. Even though he had not intentionally tried to hide himself, but still it was quite a feat for someone so young.
Another thing that surprised the elder more than the fact that the kid could actually sense him was his eye, that single blue eye, contained more pain that a human could bear .In that single eye Hayato could see the turbulent emotions regret ,guilt and sadness.
'What happened to young man that you bear such look in your eye?' Hayato thought as he made eye contact with Boy in front of him, the look in his eyes where sending chills down his spine, it was like glazing into eyes of the dead, From the look in his eye Hayato could easily figure out that that kid had lost hope and had no strength to fight anymore.
'That look in his eye should not be on a man that young 'he thought sadly. But the world was a cruel place, on his travels around the world the elder had already witnessed how low men could stoop for the sake of their greed and meaningless ambitions mercilessly destroying lives of the innocent around them .
Being the kind hearten old man he was Hayato decided to help the blond child. After all it was the duty of the old and experienced generation to guide the young one and set them on the right path.
"Do you have a place to sleep boy since sleeping in the park could give you a lot of trouble with the authorities? "Hayato asked in a booming voice waing the animal that were sleeping in the vicinity.
"What do you think? I am sleeping outside in the cold for fun "Naruto replied sarcastically
It was not his fault that he was so grumpy, but he had not eaten anything the whole day because his stash of money had become empty, and no one was hiring him for any work because they thought that he was some kind of delinquent, it's not his fault that he was tall and had blonde hair and lost an eye.
It was true that he could have just stolen the money and food very easily but Naruto had no spirit to do so, not after what had happened to him…..
"Ha Ha Ha cheeky brat… I like you kid, why don't you come sleep at my place I have a lot of empty space and could do with some company "Hayato suggested.
Naruto looked at the man with un-trusting eyes (or eye doesn't really matter as long as you get the idea), Naruto knew that the man in front of him was not a normal old man considering he had almost sneaked up to him which was a very huge achievement, from what Naruto had deduced from the old man's build and over-whelming presence, he was quite a accomplished fighter with a lot of experience under his belt , a taijutsu user who could give Might guy a run for money.
Hayato easily saw the distrust in his eyes, but chose to ignore it for the sake of winning the kids trust. After a few moments silence the blond replied "Ok, but first tell me your name and why are you doing this? ".
"Sorry my bad I should have introduced myself earlier, my name is Furinji Hayato I am just an old man who likes to use his experience in life to guide the next generation just like your typical jiji Ha Ha "Hayato finished his sentence with a booming laugh.
'Typical jiji my ass look at that build and the look of predator in his eyes' Naruto thought
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto "Naruto introduced himself with a short bow.
"No point in wasting time right Mr. fishcake, lets go "Hayato said jollily
"It's maelstrom dattebayo "Naruto grumbled
"Dattebayo? " Hayato teased
"Shut up old man " Naruto grumbled
"But before we leave I would like to clear one thing I don't want to mooch off on anybody If I am staying then I will pay for it "Naruto said with a serious tone making it clear that Naruto Uzumaki was not a helpless child.
"That works really well, truth to be told the dojo has been in quite a pinch for a while taking a tenant or two will sure help out a lot "Hayato said as he turned towards the dojo.
Naruto lifted his stuff which included a backpack and huge scroll. Hayato raised his eyebrows at the strange luggage but didn't comment on it.
Both the man started to walk towards the dojo, on their way to the dojo Hayato observed two things about the blond enigma, one that he could not feel the presence of the blond, if he were not seeing him walking in front of him he would not have been able to tell he was there it was like he was some kind of ghost.
The second thing he noted was that Naruto was always cautious of his surrounding it was like he was expecting an attack any moment a little shift in the air would cause him to jump, his ears would twitch at every sound produced in the area. The air around him was that of an experienced warrior, one who had already seen multiple life and death situation and was ready for anything expecting the worst.
_Scene change; the Ryozanpaku Dojo
Naruto and the old man arrived at the gates of the dojo. The shrewd old man decided to stay back to get an estimate of Naruto's physical strength by observing him open the dojo's gate. His suspicion that Naruto was very well trained solidified when he saw Naruto opening the door without any problem.
"sugai(awesome) Ne jiji what is this place and who else lives here "Naruto asked in wonder impressed by the amount of space the place had.
"This Ryozanpaku dojo a place where several masters meet and train in their art "The elder spoke
Just as they entered inside the main building of the dojo Naruto's internal danger sensor started to blip like crazy.
"Get back old man "Naruto shouted as he took out a kunai hidden in his sleeve and jumped back to avoid a nasty slash from a katana. The wielder of the katana was a young lady with black hair in a tight purple dress. ( go Shigure-chan I just love U, by the log our awkward love will prevail)
Before the elder could stop both of them Naruto stepped forward with lightning speed surprising everyone in the room. No one expected such swift and fluid motion from a boy as young as him. Even Shigure who was referred as a prodigy all around the world had not achieved such finesse at that age.
Shigure jumped back to avoid the slash from the knife but was too late, the knife entered her guard and nicked her on arm. She stepped back cursing herself for doing a immature and rookie mistake it was the first rule for combat never underestimate an opponent no matter the age or gender. She prepared herself to defend from the next attack that never came never came. She looked up and found the young man frozen in place staring at the knife in his hand.
"Blood "Naruto said softly as he looked at the knife with a fearful expression like he had seen some looked at his trembling, blood soaked hand and muttered some thing inaudible.
"IT'S BLOOD "he shouted surprising the people in the room.
"MEDIC WE NEED A MEDIC HERE" he shouted as he started to madly search for a medic.
"It's ok Naruto-kun it's only a flesh wound give it time and it will completely heal"The elder tried to calm him down, but he noticed something was wrong about Naruto, his eye. It was like he was looking through them.
"SOMEBODY SAVE HER… PLEASE DON'T DIE HINATA-CHAN "he shrieked, his body was shaking in agony
"PLEASE DON'T DIE …..IT'S OK I AM HERE I WONT LET ANYTHING HAPPEN TO YOU"
Hearing the ruckus everyone else in the dojo rushed into the room to witness a scene that will be etched in their memory for ever.
The face of the young man pleading the deities begging them for help, That voice full of desperation would haunt them for weeks.
Soon his shrieking turned into sobbing "YOU ARE GOING TO BE MOTHER OF MY CHILD PLEASE DON'T DIE OR ELSE I WILL BREAK" spasm ran through his body, after a moment his body became rigid and he fell like a sack.
Akisame immediately tended to the boy he checked his pulse and was relived to find that he was ok"looks like his mind shut down to protect it from breaking down"
"must be some kind of defense mechanism "Kensei wondered out loud
"where did you find him anyway old man " Akisame asked as he checked for a fever "He's ok but needs rest I will carry him to one of the guest room but first tell us where did you find him"
The elder told the other how he found Naruto and his observation about the kid.
"He may be a member of Yami " Akisame thought
"Whatever we will talk about this in the morning I think it's time for bed" the elder herded everyone back to their rooms.
"What a troublesome guy " he comment as he left for his room I guess times have gotten more erratic.
