Azuma Ninjas' adventures
Ok this will be based on the famous Tenchu series for PS1 and PS2. I think I
don't have to specify the rating of this story (It is rated R). I will take
Rikimaru as my character in here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Prologue
It was a time of hiatus in a period of bitter wars and great
turmoil. Lord Ghoda did know that the Azuma ninjas served him with their lives
and with their honor-delivering midnight messages to neighboring states and
punishment in the shadows to those who turned against him. They were a feared
yet unknown group, a faceless arm of justice masked in a cloud of secrets. Most
importantly, they were his merciless force of silent assassins.
This is the tale of two shadows born unto darkness and destined to die in
darkness.
(Ok, this is meant to be a story from the beginning, but I don't have the first
Tenchu, so I had to take some lines from the third.)
I indended to make it a complete story that will start from the Birth of
Stealth Assassins and end with the last part of the trilogy, The Wrath of Heavens
from the prespective of Rikimaru as a main character.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part one-Birth of the Stealth Assassins
Chapter one-Rikimaru becomes a shadow warrior
(I think I will narrate this chapter from the first person view)
The action is taking place in the Azuma ninja village, Rikimaru must pass
master Azuma Shiunsi's test to become a true ninja. He begins in a cortyard when he
he practices his skills.
-I am Rikimaru, today is a day when I will become a true shadow warrior, but
first I have to practice my skills.-
He practicing his movements and his skills of checking out the environment,
Also he must know that to move faster, you have to sheet your weapon first. After
this, Rikimaru must move on to the next area.
-Alright, now I have to practice my skills of climbing the walls, crouching along
them and to use my shibutana to cut boxes and baskets, this is very valuable skills
for ninja!-
Now, he must target practice with surrikens and most importanly, how to use
watter to his good.
-Surrikens are very hard to master, but you have to know the importance of this,
thus that ninjas' items are their first friends on the battlefield. Now I have
to practice my skills of using water as my benefit, which is very easy for me;
since I mastered all of the swiming techniques. Ok, here is a real deal, I have
to practice my assassination or perchaps combat skills.-
Rikimaru is moving into a bamboo forest near the vilage, where he's practicing
by cuting bamboo shoots. However, there is a real challenge ahead. There are two ninjas
lurking in this forest and Rikimaru have to practice in his assassination techniques,
before going to master Shiunsi's house.
-Ok, I think the first one is eassy to stealth kill.-
Rikimaru, patiently moved closer to the first ninja from behhind and cuted his troat
with his shibutana sword.
-Second one is much harder to stelth kill wait, I can take him out with my shuriken!-
Rikimaru took out his surriken and aimed for the head of the second ninja.
After the surriken went through that ninja's empty head, Rikimaru headed to his
master's house that was located on the clifs, above the vilage.
Rikimaru:"Master, I had succeded in your test, now I'm a real ninja!"
Shiunsi:"Don't be so sure just yet!"
As he said that, he puled a rope and Rikimaru fell into a traphole
that brought him into the underground passege. From there, he heard the voice of
his master:
Shiunsi:"Come back, if you can survive like a real ninja!"
-Ok, I didn't expected that from master, but I have to follow this tunnel if I
want to recive a title of ninja and I have to be really carefull.-
Rikimaru moved down the tunnel stealth killing all who he met on his way.
Sometimes he had to graple up with a graping hook and finaly he reached somekind
of caverns filled with water.
-Great, I get to swim again! No wait this time it's different, I think
I have to search for the underwater passage now. This might be harder then it looks,
but this is the only way to become ninja!-
Rikimaru swam in that underground lake in search of passage and finaly
he saw the light comming from above, which meant that he reached the exit from that
passage. There was at leat two ninjas guarding that area, but they were no match
for Rikimaru and he finaly reached the end of master Shiunsi's test and he, himself
was standing there holding the scroll.
Master Shiunsi:"Congratulations Rikimaru, you are now a true shadow warrior!"
He gave him the scroll and said to him: "Your first mission as a ninja
will be taking care of the mountain bandits who had occupied the abandoned vilage
in the mountains and you have to free all of the civilians in there, good luck!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok this might have been rather borring then interesting, but I will work on the
second chapter later and note: Rikimaru had a shibutana in Birth of Stealth Ass-
assins, which is a selfmade version of the kattana sword. Only at the end he
received an Isayoi-kattana sword.
