Chapter / Episode 1

Prologue and pilot

"Yes," I thought to myself "finally I am no longer an academy student , I am now a genin!" I then began to smile wide as I walked into the tavern to look for my new sensei.

"Will anyone be my sensei? I cried for all to hear. I then met my sensei, VG we called her. I sat next to her and listened to all the tavern conversations, until sensei VG did something very odd.

I decided to ask around in the tavern as to why she was doing what she was doing, and found out that she had a demon inside her. I had remembered from the academy reading about a jutsu that could drain a demon of all its chakra and destroy it or contain it in an object that would not allow it to escape,

I then left the tavern, but before I left I turned and said "Do not worry sensei, I will help you get rid of that evil demon. I shall be back soon."

I then found out that it would take longer than expected to find the one who knew of this jutsu. I traveled through many towns and villages searching for a master who knew this technique. After about the 20th village I met a traveling merchant who said that their was a hermit ninja on a nearby mountain, who boasted to know every jutsu under the sun. I then thanked the man and went to the mountain the man had pointed out to me. I began my long and arduous climb up the mountain almost falling a couple of times. I decided to camp in an alcove for the night, and I could've sworn that I had seen a large tengu fly past the outcrop of the alcove.

I then continued climbing the mountain, and was relieved when I reached the top. However much to my chagrin I found out there had been a trail on the other side of the mountain. I then noticed a hut sitting next to a pond near the top of the mountain.

I walked towards thee hut when I noticed a man, balancing on a stick, balancing on a log in the middle of the pond. I took a few steps forward and stopped when the water began to ripple. The man opened his eyes, as 10 kappa jumped out of the pond (which is unusual for kappa). The kappa circled the old man .

The biggest kappa had red skin and wielded a large cleaver. He spoke to the man in a gruff voice. "we've told ya before old man, your kind isn't allowed around here. Our last group says you wiped the floor wit them. You don't look so tough." he then began to brandish his weapon.

"oh no!" I thought to myself "he is right, that man doesn't look like he stands a chance." I then did something that I didn't think I would do, for a while. I picked up a rock and lobbed it at the giant kappa hitting him in the head, and almost making him lose balance.

"Who threw that!" he yelled angrily, "who ever did that is going to have a one way trip to yami!" I then yelled to the kappa "hey turtle soup, stop picking on him! Try someone else, like me!" he then became enraged, as he pointed his cleaver at me and yelled "get em!" the kappa then began to jump towards me as the large one stayed back and watched. I jabbed one kappa in the gut with some brass knuckles. I then pulled out my enchanted sai and hacked away at another one, I was then tackled by another kappa, but then I kicked it off and it tipped over. The other 6 backed away, I felt relieved that I didn't have to fight anymore but then the large kappa shot some water into the depressions on the top of the other kappas heads. I readied myself for the next attack, but all 9 of the medium sized kappa jumped on me and I couldn't get up. Then a large gust of wind knocked the 9 kappa off of me. I got up and noticed the 9 kappa had fallen over and spilled all of there water on the ground. I then saw a giant blade in front of my face and managed to pull out my blunt tipped saber just in time to block it. The giant kappa then smacked me across the face with his left backhand. I was a little disoriented when I hit the ground but recollected my senses in time to give the large kappa a leg sweep to the back of his knees, before his blade came down. He landed on his posterior, and I jumped back to my feet . he got back up and I kicked him in the gut and he doubled over in pain as I kneed him in the beak (not a good idea). I jumped on one leg holding my knee, as he backed away mumbling something holding his beak. He then tripped over a large rock near the trail down the mountain. He stumbled backwards and then rolled up into a ball as he rolled down the mountain trail. I then turned to the man who was still balancing on the stick and log calmly. "nicely done boy. Those kappa are always bothering me. I would've done a little more than push those 9 off of you but you looked like you had it taken care of." I asked the man if he was the hermit ninja who boasts of having known all jutsus under the sun. he admitted that he had told the traveling merchant that when he was stocking up on his food supply. I asked if he would teach me all he knew. He agreed, and so my training began. If you want to call it training, all he had me do was scare off some kappa and lesser tengu, do his laundry, and then teach me some jutsu.
