The Situation
Ch 7 Determination
In a flash of fury, the captive turtle shoots his tormentors his best glare. He has been their victim for far too long now, here only for what appears to be their amusement.
Well no more!
He is ninja!
He is a Hamato and proud of it!
He will not simply be their entertainment; their plaything any longer.
To shell with that! His upper lip curls in a display of the furore rising within as the incensed turtle takes a sudden, threatening step forward and he notes with dark amusement that the enemy nearest him takes a rapid, fearful step back. Yeah, he may trapped in this abhorrent situation with no way out that he can find; despite how often he has intently studied his cage before but he will no longer kowtow to them. The very first chance he comes across, he will rip them apart barehanded if need be! Like his brothers, he is far stronger than the average human and he will prove it the moment they slip up and he knows that they have to sooner or later. There is no doubt of that in his mind.
He may have been weak initially from whatever it was that they did to him when they brought him to this putrid hell-hole and then from the intense hunger as he was left to rot for days. He may have been completely helpless while he was being degraded and force-fed. The nutrients he is given may turn his stomach at even the mere thought of consuming them but they also give him his strength back, he realises. Strength enough to fight if given the chance.
There may not be much space for him to move in this tiny prison that he can barely lay across but he is suddenly determined to train as often and as hard as he possibly can.
The turtle knows just how dangerously close he let them come but he is resolute; he will not let them break him!
When his precious chance comes, he will be ready.
And he will make his family proud.
