"A Dark Ritual"
Hotsuma, leader of the Oboro clan, is fighting with several teenagers with what seems like daggers. Since Hotsuma had defeated Hiruko, he decided to "rebuild" the Oboro clan or the ninja order itself. He trained others that were descendants of the Oboro or descendant of any clan and order.
He was training with junior ninja. His moves could not be detected by their eyes and they were clearly outmatched even as a group. Hotsuma made quick work of them and then sat down.
"Don't feel bad. I have been training and have been through many missions in the real world. You see, in the future you will may face enemies as strong as I that will have absolutely no mercy. Though an enemy may be stronger than you, you must have teamwork and work with one another. Remember this."
Hotsuma left the training area outside. The junior ninjas and the lower class of cadets hurried back to their classes. They were all impressed with his incredible lightning-like moves and his incredible technique.
The training place or "school" so to speak was located in Tokyo. It was like a village surrounded by nature. It wasn't totally isolated from Tokyo though. The Japanese government had shown much gratitude toward Hotsuma for his heroic efforts and we he did for Tokyo. They had also insisted to send them aid and soldiers until everything was much better. It had been almost a year since the incident.
Five figures in dark hoods approached the village. They slowly approached the front where they met two government soldiers. One soldier asked,
"What do you need?"
None of them replied. The soldier waited but got nothing. He then asked once more,
"Do any of you need anything?"
They remained silent, not saying a single word. The soldier turned to other the soldier who shrugged. When he was going to turn around to tell them to go, he was met with a powerful punch that sent him crashing onto a wall. The second official grabbed a gun and pointed it straight at the figures but they all quickly got out of sight. One of them appeared behind the officer and snapped his neck like a twig. The other soldier watched helplessly but before he could even say a word, they had all made their way inside. He quickly alerted the government representative who was with Hotsuma.
He was shocked and quickly told Hotsuma about the event.
"What? Someone has entered the village. This could be very dangerous," Hotsuma said as he quickly took his Akujiki, daggers and such to the outside. He made his way out of the building and ran along the walls to the outside. He made it to the center of the village, but saw that everything was normal. He heard someone moving in the surroundings. His senses were sharp and he made no mistake as a dark figure lunged at him but hit nothing but a shadow image of Hotsuma. The figure landed on it's hands and feet as if it were a cat or dog. Hotsuma latched on to a wall behind the creature and threw several daggers at it. The daggers made contact and paralyzed the creature for a split second which was all Hotsuma needed.
He lunged at the creature with his sword but another figure flew through the air and knocked Hotsuma down. The figure laughed and brought out it's hands which appeared human but suddenly grew claws. The figure wanted to pierce the skull of Hotsuma and with a fierce cry brought down it's claws upon Hotsuma who swiftly dodged the attack sending the claws straight through the ground. Two other figures jumped from a nearby building. They tried attacking Hotsuma but it seemed futile as Hotsuma was much faster than either of them. The remaining hooded figure stood watching from a distance. The figure began chanting words in a strange tongue. It then ran toward Hotsuma, jumped up in the air and threw a small ball of energy at the ground. The energy expanded, covering the ground in a red bright aura. Hotsuma stood in the center and tried reacting but he immediately fell in pain. He couldn't move from his spot. It seemed the magic casted by the mysterious being made it impossible for him to move. He was defenseless. The other ninjas could not interfere as they had to to take care of the younger in-training children and teenagers. Those who didn't quickly tried to jumped in but the aura created a barrier.
The figure who created the energy ball walked inside and moved freely up to Hotsuma. He took the Akujiki blade and said,
"Our mission is complete. We must leave immediately!"
All the figures quickly ran away with an incredible speed. It looked like they had teleported out. The red barrier disappeared and Hotsuma fell on his knees.
"They took Akujiki!," he said. He turned back to the elite ninja.
"Take care of the village! I have to retrieve Akujiki!"
Hotsuma quickly made his way out of the village. He didn't need any type of transportation. Not only was he fast but his senses allowed him to slowly follow the dark figures.
Who are they? And what do they want with Akujiki?! What use is it to them he thought.
He finally arrived at what looked like an old warehouse. He ran up the wall and looked through a window as he looked at the dark figures entering. Inside, there seemed to be a small altar and a pedestal at the center. At each side was two torches. There was yet another hooded figure there. It was waiting for the others. They bowed down to the hooded figure and placed Akujiki on the pedestal. They then began chanting in yet another ancient tongue that Hotsuma could not understand. Hotsuma noticed that dark clouds were forming in the sky. The flames inside intensified and the room seemed to be changing. Each time Hotsuma blinked it seemed as if the room were to change into something more organic, and then back to the room again.
"Something here isn't right. What's happening?"
