The Azuma Ninjas's Adventures
Part One:Birth of the Stealth Assassins
Chapter 3: Mountain Bandits
*It was a night like usual night in the abandoned vilage or so mountain bandits thought. One of them was
minding his busines while guarding a little hut at the village entrence. Suddenly something grapled to the
roof.*
"Who could it be at such hour?"-woundered the bandit-"Hey, Otoshi, is that you? Stop fooling around and
change me already!"
*However, it wasn't a guards friend!In fact the stranger waited until guard would turn his back and jumped
down for the stealth kill from the back!*
"This one is taken care of!"-though Rikimaru as he executed the bandit-"I better wath out for those alarms
that they setted all over the place!"
*Rikimaru exited the hut and continued down the village that was positioned between mountains. On his way
he saw a lot of corpses of villagers lying on the ground.*
"Those dirty animals, what kind of honor they have if they are killing inocent people"-those were the only
thoughs of Rikimaru at the sight of dead villagers-"Wow, watch tower!I got to be carful here"-He though after
spoting a tower with an archer at the top.
*Whithout any delayes, he used his grapling hook to graple up to the tower and executed the archer.*
"Wow, this guard had some blowing arrows, might come in handy latter!"-Rikimaru had noted to himself as he
collected his arrows.
*After that, Rikimaru continued down killing all bandits on the way until he came to the big hut. He heard a
girl screaming in there and a bandit laughing like a maniac. When he came closer he could see that girl was
tied to the pole and some bandit chief was trowing knifes in her.*
Girl:"Please stop!"
Bandit:"Oh, I will stop, when you'll die!"
*He trew knife straigh into the girl, but Rikimaru intercepted it.*
Bandit:"Who are you?!"
Rikimaru:"You have no honor to do such things to a lady, prepare to die!"
*That bandit only looked weakly, he had a pipe that could exale somekind of gass and then he was stricking with it.
However, Rikimaru defeated him. After that a girl said:*
Girl:"Wait, what is your name?"
Rikimaru:"I am the shadow and shadows have no name."
*He quickly went away, leaving a girl in confusion, but save.*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok people that is for Rikimaru and Ayame's part is comming up latter in this chapter and it will be continued.
Ok, here's long awaited Ayame's part:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Meanwhile, not that long after Rikimaru went on his first mission Ayame came to the same spot he started. There was
the same hut and there was a guard again, but different. Ayame quickly moved towards him while he wasn't looking and
sliced his troat with two of her daggers. The bandit fell to the ground in blood.*
Ayame thought: "Well, that's wasn't that hard, was it? Now if according to this map Rikimaru want that way as Master
Shiunsi said, I have to go to the other direction in the forked road, man this place is swormed with alarms, so I'd
wacth out for them!"
*As she thought that she moved carfully avoiding mettall chains with metal shels on them tied to sticks at the ground
level that would make noise if touched. It was an early eavening and the shades of night didn't came down on earth
compleately, so Ayame had hard time avoiding and killing stealthy all of the guards, but she did a nice job for a beginer
ninja. Finaly, she arived at the poit marked by a red cross on the map. It was a hill with steps leading down from it
and at the top was one lonely tree. Suddenly a horesman came from around that hill. He was of the great height and have
a beard, he probably was another leader of those bandits. He came down from the horse and began to laught.
Bandit:" Hahahaha, I can't belive that they sended a girl to fight me and what girl? I belive you are bareley sixteen,
But don't you worry you look good enough for me, even though you're young it's make thinks even more interesting, now
come here and I'll show you something!"
Ayame:"Hey, you bether watch your mouth around Ayame, I'm not the type of a little girl you know and I'll teach you how
to respect other people! Come on now, I'll cut you down the size!"
*With that, Ayame took out her daggers and bandit took a big club. Even though he was big and strong, he was much slower
and Ayame was much faster. None of his hits connected and he could not even lay a hand on Ayame, while she was running around
him cuting him with her daggers and finaly he fell down in blood.*
Bandit:" No, how could little girl like that defeated me, argh..."
Ayame:" Here's a lesson to you, never underestimate the abilities of a girl!"
*Ayame went back to the ninja village, leaving the giant bandit dieing in the pool of his own blood. When she came in village she
saw Rikimaru and Tatsumaru going to Master Shiunsi's house.*
"What are you guyes doing here?"-She asked them while they were on the way to the door steps of the house.
*When they all got there they knelt before Shiunsi who started to speak to them.*
Shiunsi:" You done well my children! Ayame and Rikimaru, you are now true Azuma ninjas and I must step down in my retirement."
Tatsumaru:" What!"
Rikimaru:" No!"
Ayame:" No way!"
Shiunsi:" I'm sorry but I'm too old to be the leader of the Azuma ninja and I must pass the sacred Izayoi sword of our clan to most
senior member of you three and that's Tatsumaru, here you go, now you are the leader of Azuma ninja clan and may you be as honorable
and devoted to our honorable lord Gohda as I was! Now, you three must go help our lord, he is under the tread from his traitorous uncle,
Gohda Motohidei, who had alied himself with an enemy general, Tojo; it's up to you three now to save our lord Gohda and bring order to our
state!"
*As he passed Izayoi sword to Tatsumaru and said those horible news, they rose and quickly departed at the speed of lighning towards the castle
of their honorable lord.*
