Chapter One: Prologue
(I know a prologue is separate from the chapters but if I did that, it would get messed up so I just put it as chapter one)
"It's just that you are no longer powerful enough. If we want to catch our biggest threat, the ninja, then I need someone more qualified for the job," a grown woman said in a clear and articulate voice of leadership.
"But, Ma'm, I've been your right hand man since you started this whole endeavor. There has to be another task for me to do?" a boy, no older than twenty five, said.
"Oh, there is no other task for you; your work is complete. I no longer have a use for you."
The boy's eyes widened as he realized what this meant. "You said if I helped you, you would let me free."
The woman just chuckled. "Funny how much one can believe a person's words. You were a great help to me, but like I said, I now need someone more qualified."
In a blink of an eye, the woman threw a knife she had hidden in her cloak towards the young boy which landed in his heart. With a tear in his eye, he fell to the ground, soon to die. The woman never flinched, nor felt a bit of pity.
"And I know just who to get..."
Ok, I know that was short but it was just the prologue. I promise my other chapters will be longer. I decided to put this up sooner than I had said simply because I wanted to. This fanfic is a continuation of my other one, Light Shall Fade, so I would suggest reading that first. If you don't want to, tell me and I would be happy to just give you a summary. I have enjoyed making this story so I hope you enjoy reading. God Bless!
