The Youthful Flames of Karaz-a-Karak
Ch. 1
I OWN NOTHING
It had been a good day for Rock Lee of Konoha, he had, as a cool down, just completed 600 sit-ups and 500 pushups (He was still a little sore from his last mission). As he was heading back home for something to eat, he noticed something glinting near the base of a tree. "What is this?" He mumbled out loud. He picked up the strange device and examined it.
About the size of two walnuts, it was a small gold amulet in the shape of a bearded and wing-helmed head that also seemed to be roaring a battle cry. As he examined it the wings on the trinket clicked and shifted position. The device suddenly glowed and in a flash of light both the trinket and the 14-year-old boy were gone.
Ten years later at the same spot, with another flash of light, a huge behemoth of a man appeared. He was around 7'8" tall and about 4'6" across at the chest. He wore a heavy suit of plate and chain mail armor that was silver in color it was also covered in angular motifs and inlaid in gold and silver. He wore a heavy helm of the same material that had metallic wings come out at horizontal angle from it. His face was half hidden by a beard and moustache combo that reached mid-chest. He also wore a pair of heavy hobnail boots yet was moving with a speed that belayed his massive size. He had a small hatchet at his side yet his main weapon seemed to be the pair of gauntlets that looked to be 20 pounds of metal each.
He looked around at his surroundings took a deep breath sighed and said, "Aye by Grungi its good to be back." He immediately set off towards Konoha.
The two guards at the gatehouse almost simultaneously yawned, dang was it boring. As they sat there, they noticed the walking tank heading towards the gatehouse both made to stop him however the giant flashed a Konoha head guard plate and clenched his fist both backed off immediately. As he was almost out of sight one of the ninja shouted to the giant "Hey we still need your name."
The giant looked back at them then to the shock off both ninja he struck a Gai Maito pose and said, "I'm Lee Steelfist of the Steelfist clan of Karaz-a-Karak, ironbreaker captain, and the bane of Gorfang Rottgut! Formerly Rock Lee the handsome devil of the Village hidden in the Leaf!"
With that the giant turned and left the two guards to just stand there with jaws dropping wider then a snake and eyes that would put a bush baby to shame.
