I am there.
The temple of master Mori.
A great good shinobi who trained my late father and who has been trained alongside my grandfather. One of the rare wood shinobi, he fought beside kagura rank shinobi and he could have been one.
I wish to follow my father's path, become a great shinobi and fulfill my greatest desire.
Meet the great Kagura, the Youma's killer divinity.
...
Those cursed Youma.
They stole my father, along with my brothers and sisters... Only leaving my mind broken mother and our faithful dog, Chuuken.
I must become stronger, not only to avenge my family, but also to protect what is left. And master Mori is the best person to help me with this quest, I hope he will accept me as a disciple.
This temple is so huge, why living lonely in a such a place ? Cleaning should be a true aberration. If master Mori accepts me as a disciple, I'm sure I will have to take care of these stuffs...
Whatever, it will be take more than a thankless task to push me away.
A few minuts later
"Who are you ?"
"AH !"
Hell, this place is so quiet that any sound can scare...
This man... Is that him ?
"I... Are you master Mori, sir ?"
"Himself, and I think I asked you something."
Oh no, my first contact is so pitiful... I hope I will be able to make it up.
"Excuse me, sir, my name is Mure and I would like to be trained by you at shinobi's arts."
Mure is not my real name, it is the shinobi name my father gave me, his was Moku.
"And why should I train you ? I am not living in a place far from population to bother myself with people."
Furthermore, he seems to don't envoy company, very not good...
"Actually, I am Moku's daughter, who was one of your students, and..."
"Shizen's granddaughter ?"
"Eh ? Uh... Yes."
"Hum..."
I have never been this nervous before, I feel like my heart could stop every second.
"What did they tell you about me exactly ?"
Eh ?
Why he's asking me a question like this ?
By the way, It's not important, I will be honest in my answer.
"A lot of things, master, essentially good things, but also some bad things."
According to my father, master Mori is the most honest man he has never known, so, maybe he likes honesty. Anyway, I am not the one to hide behind lies.
"What sort of "bad things" are you referring to ?"
"Well, they often said that you tend to isolate yourself, even with your friends."
"And do you think is a bad thing ?"
"To be honest, Perhaps it is not your case, but another could have to seen that like a reject. So, maybe they have suffered."
What the hell I am doing ?!
I am asking him something, and I am blaming him ?! Am I really so stupid ?!
"You're right."
Eh ?
"I was the only friend of Shizen during our training years, he felt lonely, but despite of that, I often left him behind and now, I can't apologize."
"I'm sorry master Mori, I did not want to..."
"Don't apologize, I wanted to make amends by training his son, but I was too confident in my lessons and took him with me for a Youma's extermination mission with some kagura, and he hasn't survived."
I don't know what to say, I didn't think that having a disciple could hurt him so much, especially in my case.
"By the way, are you still sure you want to become a shinobi ? And by learning my lessons ?"
Eh ?
He has accepted ? Despite of his torment ?
I don't really get it, does he want to make up ? Does he want to please me ? Or deter me ?
Whatever, I have decided to do it and I always honour my agreements.
"Yes, master Mori."
His face, he is starting to smile.
"So... Prepare yourself for pain, start with 200 tours of the temple by running, without break !"
...
Did he say "200" ?
"200 tours ?!"
"Just kidding, don't worry."
I didn't know he has a sense of humor, well, It is a good thing I guess.
"400 tours, then, let's say... A thousand of squats."
...
WHAT ?!
he's really serious ?! Is it possible to do that and not die at least ?!
Father... Protect me please...
"What are you waiting for ? Come one !"
Well, It's not like I have choice, damn...
"All right master !"
I have a dream and It will be reality one day.
