Red Eagle

Chapter One

A young man awoke in the forest. He sat up and looked around him, completely confused. He patted himself down, checking for injuries. His right hand brushed against a metal object hanging from his waist.

My revolver, he thought to himself.

He looked around himself. Okay, I know I have a weapon and clothes. Now why can't I remember anything else?

That's right. This guy is an amnesiac. Lucky him.

He checked his pockets, then opened the revolver's cylinder. Great, five shots left. If I get into a firefight I'm toast.

What the hell is a firefight?

He stood up. His ears finally picked up the sound of a nearby settlement.

Might as well start there.

He began walking towards the sound.

A half an hour later, he came to the gates of a village. Two men walked up to him.

"Uh, hey. Would either of you happen to know who I am?" he asked them.

The two men stopped in their tracks. This was not a question they heard everyday.

"Okay, guess that's out. Could you tell me where I am?"

One of the men answered, "You're standing outside the Village Hidden in the Leaves, Konoha. Now, do you have any weapons on you?"

"I have only my revolver."

"What the hell is a revolver?"

"It's kinda hard to explain."

"Well, whatever it is, let me have it. We've got to clear you before you come in. What's your name?"

"Call me... Wolf."
