Chapter 1 – The Order

Greed, greed murdered Sasuke Uchiha's parents, on the dark-side of the world, Sasuke Uchiha tasted greed, and thought he'd conquered it, but greed followed him home.

Present Day

In a warehouse along Konoha's river, several thugs were pouring gasoline over the floor of the warehouse, then all of a sudden…

"CRASH"

A man in an orange jump-suit fell through the sky-line, as the thugs turned toward him, they noticed the sword-wounds covering his arms and legs, he looked up at the thugs, and spoke, "Ronin's coming," he then died.

One of the thugs looked up, and saw a man falling toward them. The man was dressed in black boots with a gold seem that ran down the front and back. His pants were black and had Kevlar-padding that covered his muscles and made them bulge out more, there were small lines running all around the bulging pads that were gold. His shirt was the same, it was black and had Kevlar-padding covering his muscles and vital organs, and there were several lines of gold around the padding. His gloves were black, had a fin that went from the bottom of his wrist to about an inch from his elbow. His mask was black, and had a small area that went from the sides of his chin, up his mouth, and came to a point on the bridge of his nose. You couldn't see the color of his eyes because the hood attached to the cape made his eyes seem fully-white.

It was the masked vigilante, Ronin who showed up a few weeks after Sasuke Uchiha, the new boss and son of Fugaku Uchiha: the murdered CEO of Uchiha Incorporated came back from a five-year disappearance.

As soon as Ronin hit the ground, his Katana Samurai sword flashed because of the lights above as it cut the belt off one of the thug's pants, and sent it to the ground.

As the thug looked down, Ronin placed the blunt-side of his sword, against the back of his neck, and flung him in the path of his buddy's fist as it came hurdling toward his face.

As the thug knocked his buddy out, Ronin put his sword away, and delivered a devastating hay-maker against the side of another thug's face, instantly knocking him to the ground.

Ronin's knuckles were steel-plated, and as he delivered a swift blow to the side of the third thug's face, making him lose all connection he had with his conscious.

The final thug came in hard, but before he could land a blow, Ronin grabbed the thug's arm in-between his arm-pit and side, put his hand against the thug's elbow, and yanked it upwards, breaking it at the joint. One punch to the thug's throat was all it took to send him to the ground.

One man came running into the room, but before he could raise his G36C to fire, Ronin raised his fist, and a crossbow appeared on top of his forearm, as he squeezed his hand closed, a small arrow flew from the crossbow, striking the thug in the shoulder, and sending the bullets he fired into a set of propane-tanks next to him.

As the tanks exploded, Ronin contacted his butler, Naruto, "We've got a problem," Ronin said.

"I've alerted the fire-department Mr. Uchiha," Naruto said, "You want me to send in the Zero?"

"Not yet," Ronin said, "Not until I find Garra."

Garra, one of Konoha's brightest minds, but also one of the most devious, he's one of the most vicious neuropsychologists in the world, he uses sand to manipulate his patients, he studies how people react to being buried alive in sand, some say he was even searching for a way to make himself into living sand. He's been poaching Sasuke's girlfriend, Sakura Haruno ever since he took one of the patients she was treating out of Konoha Central Receiving Hospital.

Sasuke walked through the halls before coming face-to-face with one of Garra's experiments and two more thugs.

Garra's experiment was a monster made of living sand that couldn't faze through solid objects if something is around his neck, one kink he never fixed.

"You sure we should be standing this close?" one of the thugs asked.

"It doesn't matter," the second said as the monster lunged forward, unable to attack, "He can't bust through these chains, if he did, he'd beat us to a pulp."

Ronin fired one arrow at the chain holding him down, and as it snapped, he lunged forward, attacking both thugs at once.

One he was finished, he jumped out the window, fazed through the fire-escape, and disintegrated on the pavement.

Ronin walked over to the window, and climbed up the fire-escape, quickly arriving at the next floor, where he saw Garra standing in a three-piece suit, in front of several of his patients "Ronin," Garra said, "Fascinating. I'd kill to get a look inside your head, but I've got my subjects to do that."

Garra walked off as several mental patients ran toward Ronin. Ronin nailed on in the face, and that was it, the second grabbed him from behind.

Ronin threw him to the ground, and stomped his boot into the patient's face, knocking him out cold.

The final one ran at Ronin, only to take Ronin's elbow in the face, and that was it.

Ronin ran after Garra, and as he rounded a corner, he took a blast of sand to the face, stunning him.

Ronin shook it off, and ran after Garra who was running away.

As Ronin rounded a corner, his suit caught on fire.

He rounded another corner, and Garra was standing at the end of it, standing completely still.

Ronin pounced at him with his sword raised, only to discover he wasn't there as he flew through a window.

It was greed the greed to take a life, the same greed that turned Sasuke Uchiha into Ronin…
