KOTONARU
Throughout the Hidden Sound Village there lived a boy named Samu with a family of four, his mother and father along with the oldest son, Tanahu. The Hidden Sound Village had been created and formed for peace and living quarters for the people and prosperous forms of civilization. The villagers provided everything the family needed, up until that night… the time where Samu and Tanahu saw only true fear upon everything else.
On that very night, Tanahu brought Samu outside in the middle of their supper, whilst their parents were fighting and shouting at each other over other reasons… the two had an idea, but both had different perspectives.
"Samu, stay outside now before they notice us!"
Samu only nodded in confusion, for he was but a child still, younger than Tanahu.
"I need you to stay away and don't let them notice you, okay? Just head around the garden quickly," he said as they heard shouting and a small act of violence around the dojo.
Samu went around through the garden and left their home across the fence that was surrounding the dojo, and as he walked further he seemed more confused, for Tanahu had something in mind he wanted to share with his brother.
"You need to stay strong brother. What I have to say to you may not get through your head just yet, but I have to tell you now. Mother and father… they… keep fighting so much.." Tanahu had trouble saying it all.
As he explained to his little brother the both of them could hear shouts of people calling their names. It was their parents.
"Samu!" Tanahu said as the voices got closer, and he threw his backpack at his little brother, making Samu trip and fall down the small hill that they thought was an enormous drop.
"Samu no!"
Little Samu fell and plunged down again and again, then stopped with more grunts than he's ever done before. He had gotten up quickly when he stopped tumbling though… his heart racing as he searched for his brother. He only heard his parents call for him, but that didn't stop Samu to remember what his brother said, "You need to stay strong brother."
If only Samu knew what to do through the beautiful sunset and across the Sound Village. If only I had known this boy was to get into this sort of thing. So young, and prosperous indeed. The country was hard on this boy.
Many years pass, and I find the boy wanting to be a ninja. Who knew that through all my years as a sensei, I would have such a trio of promising Genin. Well, at least they know the basics of being students.
They best be prepared. I can tell they show much promise. Especially you Samu…
