The four black ninjas and their boss had managed to get past Shake and the others and get inside Godo's mansion. "Find Godo and kill him. We must eleminate the entire Kiseragi bloodline." The boss said and ran off to Godo's room. When they got there, they saw Barret and Cid with their weapons aimed at them from the front of Godo's bed. "You wanna try som'thin foo." Barret said. "There are five of us and only two of you. What could you possibly do to us?" The boss asked tauntingly. "I've heard better last words." Tifa said while stepping from behind the folding wall with Cait Sith and Red. "A five on five fight sounds good to me." Barret smirked and aimed his gun again. The boss dove to the side as Barret fired. The other ninjas followed their leaders example and dove out of the way. Barret switched over to a Solid Bazooka and faced down a ninja, while Red, Cait Sith and Cid faced the other three and Tifa took the boss. Red charged his target and bit into his leg. THe ninja screamed in pain and dropped to the ground. Cid thrust his Venus Gospel at his target but the ninja jumped onit and forced it to the ground. "You can't beat me that way." The ninja taunted. "How about this way?" Cid asked and threw a shuriken. "Where'd you get that?" Red asked. "Yuffie's not the only one who can grab things without notice." Cid smirked and put his cigarette out on the ninja's face. Barret broke his ninja's weapon and clubbed him on his head, snapping his neck. Cait Sith used his Dice on his target until he defeated his ninja. Tifa traded punches and kicks with the ninja boss until she limit broke and used a full combo against him. After Tifa was done, she adjusted her Premium Heart on her hand while the ninja boss collapsed to the ground. The only ninja left alive was the one Red bit. "Why did you attack us?" Cid asked with his spear to the ninjas thoat. "The raign of the Kiseragi will soon be over and the Black Fang will rule." The ninja said before pulling a knife and commiting suicide. "Now we know what they wanted." Tifa said. "But now I'm worried about Yuffie." Godo said. "She's with Cloud and Vincent. She'll be just fine." Barret said.

Cloud and Vincent moved beside Yuffie and pulled their weapons as Yuffie pulled hers. "You're Yuffie Kiseragi aren't you?" The dark green ninja asked. "Yes I am. Who are you?" Yuffie said. "That will be explained in time. But first you're the daughter of lord Kiseragi?" The ninja asked again. "Why do you want to know?" Vincent asked. "Because if she is, then she should know the Wu-Taian martial arts style. Do you?" The ninja asked. Yuffie nodded and stepped infront of Cloud and Vincent. The ninja nodded again and pulled out two sais and promptly threw them to the side and into the walls. Yuffie recognized the challenge for unarmed combat and threw her Conformer behind her. Vincent stepped forward to stop Yuffie from fighting the ninja alone, but the Green ninja cast a barrier in front of them. "We can't have you interfering now can we?" The ninja said. "Please stay out of this guys. I need to do this alone." Yuffie said and got ready to fight. "If she was trained by her father, she should be fine. If not, then she will die by my hand." The ninja said. Cloud tried breaking the barrier with his sword and Vincent fired into it but with no luck. They finally gave up when Vincent had to reload and Cloud was getting tired and watched Yuffie fight instead. Yuffie and the ninja were executing moves like dancers preforming a perfected routine. When one threw a punch, the other blocked and countered with an attack that was blocked by the first. When Yuffie used a sweep kick, the green ninja jumped to the back wall and kicked off it and propelled himself at Yuffie. She dodged that by rolling underneath him and kicking up. The kick caught the ninja in the stomach and threw him upwards into the ceiling. The ninja rebounded and landed on Yuffie knocking her on her back. "Not bad little ninja. Not many can do something like that to me. But now I think it's time to finish this." The ninja said and used a jump kick aimed at Yuffie's head. "Yuffie duck." Vincent shouted. Yuffie ducked the kick and pulled the ninja onto his back. Yuffie then raised her arms to drop her elbows into the ninja's stomach, but the ninja acted first. In one move, the ninja put one foot infront of Yuffie's ankles and kicked the back of the knees and made sure her arms were behind her when she landed with her arms behind her. The ninja rolled to the side and culed Yuffie's legs up to her chin to keep her from moving. The ninja then threw a punch at Yuffie's temple for the final blow.

Yuffie closed her eyes and waited for the punch, but it never came. She cautiously opened her eyes and saw the ninja's fist just and inch from her head. "I win." Was all the ninja said. "I thought if she lost you were going to kill her." Cloud said. "I said if she wasn't trained in th Wu-Taian martial arts, then she would die. But she clearly was, so I'll let her live." The ninja said and dispelled the barrier and healing himslef and Yuffie. "Why did you heal me?" Yuffie asked curiously. "If I saved one member of the Kiseragi bloodline, why would I kill another?" the ninja said. "So why did you save Godo?" Vincent asked. "I have my reasons. That's all you need to know for now." The ninja said. "How about you tell us who you are now?" Cloud asked. "Most people call me Shin." The ninja said. "What about the others?" Yuffie asked. Shin just shrugged and said, "The rest don't get much of a chance to call me anything else." Shin said. "Where did you learn how to fight?" Yuffie asked. Shin reached into a spot behind his cot and pulled out a scroll. "I'm mostly self taught, but this taught me the rest." Shin said handing the scroll to Yuffie. "This is a training scroll. How did you get it?" Yuffie asked after reading some of it. "I found it in a temple and picked it up." Shin said. Suddenly Cloud's PHS started ringing. "Hello. Yes we found what we were looking for. What? is everyone okay? That's good. Alright, we're heading back." Cloud said. "What happened?" Vincent asked. "A group of ninja's attacked the Pagoda and Godo's mansion. They managed to beat them all without anyone getting hurt." Cloud explained. "Then we should leave now and get back as soon as possible." Vincent suggested. "I know a short cut to get down there." Shin said. "Lets go. Where is it?" Yuffie asked. Shin grabbed his weapons and moved a pile of rocks on one side of the cave and uncoverd a hole with a view straight to Lord Godo's house. "That's a steep drop." Cloud said. "That's why you jump to the rooftops and make your way across." Shin said. "That looks kinda difficult." Cloud said. "If you want to take the long way, I'll see you there." Shin said and jumped to the nearest rooftop. "I'm gonna follow him." Yuffie said and jumped after Shin. Vincent shrugged, changed into Chaos and flew out the hole. "Ah the hell with it." Cloud said and jumped out.

"What do you think Cloud found up there?" Red asked. "I don't know. He didn't tell me anything except they found what they were looking for. They should be here before too long." Tifa said. They waited another two minutes before two ninjas jumped through the window and into the room, one of which they recognized as Yuffie. "I win." Yuffie said triumphantly. "So you're faster than me, I still beat you in combat." The green ninja said smugly. "If we used weapons I would've won. I'm just a little out of practice fighting hand to hand." Yuffie said. "Yeah right." The green ninja remarked. Vincent soon followed the two and changed back to his normal self and made room for Cloud, who came in to fast and hit the wall. "You were jumping too hard in between buildings." Yuffie said and helped Cloud up. "What did you find?" Barret asked. "And who the hell is this guy?" Cid asked. "This is Shin, and he was the one who saved father with ground up Laviathon scales." Yuffie said. "The Jade Ninja saved me?" Godo said surprised. "The Jade Ninja?" Cloud asked looking at Shin. "That's the other thing I've been called. My fighting skills have gotten me a reputation around here." Shin said. "You're the Jade Ninja? I almost beat you in a fight." Yuffie said. "Who's the Jade Ninja?" Tifa asked. "The Jade Ninja is a strong fighter who once defeated the Black Fang's Boss in a fight to the death. It was rumored that he was now leading them. But that was only a rumor." Godo explained. "The Jade Ninja was my master. What people don't know is neither one of them survived that fight and I took over my masters reputation and Gi and earned the Jade Ninja a reputation." Shin said. "We have a celebrity with us." Tifa joked. "I used to wonder why you don't joke much Tifa, but now I remember." Barret said. "What I want to know now is why you saved me." Godo said. "I'll tell you what I told them, I have my reasons and that's all you need to know for now." Shin said "Sir, the Black Fang is back in larger numbers, we may need Avalanche's help this time." Shake announced. "We should go help them down there." Cloud said. "Who will stay with Godo?" Red asked. "I'll stay." Yuffie voluntered. "So will I." Vincent said. "I might as well." Shin said with a shrug. "The rest of us will halp Shake and the others." Cloud said and ran down the stairs. Cloud got down the stairs and shot off a blade beam. The cresent beam hit the front ninja and the following beams launched out and hurt the rest. "You think you can keep that up?" Staniv asked Cloud. "Sorry, I've been holding that Limit Break, since we left." Cloud said and summoned Knights of Round.

"How are they doing?" Godo asked. "Good, they're still up and fighting and half of the Black fang's forces are already running away." Shin said Vincent got up from his spot on the floor and started walking to the window. Just as he was in between Godo and the window, a small shuriken came flying through and hit Vincent's shoulder. Shortly after that, Vincent collapsed to the floor. "Vincent." Yuffie cried and ran over to him. Shin pulled out the shuriken and inspected the sides. "There's a weak poison on the blades, only enough to kill someone already sick or in a weakened state." Shin said. "That's right, but it was intended for Godo." A man at the window said. "Who are you?" Yuffie asked and pulled her Comformer out. "I'm the man that hired the Black fang to take out Godo." The man said. The guy was dressed in a suit like the Turks wore, only his was black and buttoned up to his neck. In his left hand he held a sword in a sheath. "You still didn't answer the question." Shin said while pulling out his sais, "Now who are you?" "I'm Shiro Katsukami, second hand to the rightful king of the planet. I was just paid to kill Lord Godo, But I'll glady finish all three Kiseragi and end the bloodline." The man said and pulled out a gun. "Three?" Yuffie asked surprised. "Yes, the man standing next to you is Kojiro Kiseragi." Shiro said. "So you know then." Shin said. Yuffie stared at Shin and quietly asked, "Is that true? Are you my brother?" Shin nodded before running at Shiro to attack. Shiro fired at Shin, but the bullet was deflected by a sai. "Shadow Pummel." Shin said using his Limit Break. Just before Shin reached Shiro, Shin faded into a black shadow and stretched to cover Shiro from anyone's view. There were sounds of several blows landing, a bone breaking, and finaly a gunshot before the black cloud dissapeared and Shin jumped back next to Yuffie. Shiro's left arm was lying limp beside him and he held a smoking gun in his right hand in a tight grip. "That was unexpected. I've never lost before." Shiro said in an almost dazed voice before falling face down on the ground.
