Many years had pass since that night. Jo train his son, Ryu on the art of being ninja not knowing his true up bring. Ryu trained hard every day to provide his worth and earn the name dragon ninja. Throughout the years, fiends present have been slowly increasing in number. Jo had been worry by this and try to understand why the reason. With that he was left with no other choice.

"You're leaving?" Ryu asked wondering why father is leaving.

"Your training is going well. With that I myself must train." Jo said as he gearing up to leave. He then pull out a sword and show it Ryu. Ryu eye's went wide known what that sword is. The Dragon sword.

"Ryu. I want you to take care of the Dragon sword."

"But father, I'm not finish with my training and…" Ryu look at the sword "And I don't think I'm ready." Ryu said as put his head down in shame. For most of his life he never knew the why he afraid of the sword. It's as it something in him tell him not to touch it. Jo know that even with dragon blood running threw his son's vain he was not sure if sword would reject his son for being half fiend. Jo put his hand on his son's shoulder.

"Ryu, I'm leaving the sword so you can take care of it. You don't have to use it if you don't want to. But when the time is right you know what to do."

Ryu nodded and took the sword, even though the sword was sheath he can feel it power. Ryu look at father who was about to leave.

"How long would you be gone?" Ryu asked

"I don't known. When I feel like I'm ready to return. I leave the sword and the village in your care." Jo said as he left.

Ryu sigh, wondering on what to do now. He train all morning.

"Guess I can go see Kureha and see how she doing."

Ryu head towards the dragon shrine were Kureha guards the dragon eye and the evil sister blade, the dark dragon blade. Kureha and Ryu have been best friends for years ever since he was little. She one of the few people who hang out with Ryu most because his father want to train him to be a fine warrior.

Kureha was mediating to make sure the dark dragon blade power were seal. As she mediated she felt the dark dragon blade power flare up a little. She was shocking thinking that the seal might be loose but heard a voice from the sword.

"I'll soon return and rid that traitor's spawn."

Kureha eye snap open in shock, and she broken in a cold sweat. Just as broke from mediation Ryu enter temple having a worry look on his face see his friend in a shock state.

"Kureha! What happen?" Ryu rush to her side he can sense dark blade energy slightly.

"I don't know the blade never act like this before. I might because the more fiend as of late." Kureha got up from her spot.

"Where master Jo?"

Ryu look down with a sadden look "My father went to train. I don't know when he'll return." He them look down at the dragon sword.

"I wish father would tell me why he left he felt trouble."

Kureha hate to see her best friend down Ryu always been the strong one of the two.

"I may have idea. Follow me." Kureha lead Ryu to her room and then show him a note that seem written from his father.

"Master Murai came here the other day. He was hoping to train you too. I think him a good choice since you want to get stronger." Kureha said as she gave Ryu the note.

"I think it have his location in it."

Ryu look at the note. She was right, if he want to be worthy to weld the dragon sword he must train harder now that he the last dragon ninja warrior left in the village. He must get stronger.

"Alright. I'll go to the Shadow ninja fortress tomorrow. And you should get some rest, whatever that was look like it drain you." Ryu said seeing his friend a little pale. Kureha nodded as Ryu left her room. As he was about out leave dragon shrine, he heard a voice from behind.

"Half Breed."

Ryu quickly turn around ready his sword but found that there were no one behind. He let go of sword wondering what that was.

The next day Ryu suit up ready to go to the Shadow ninja fortress. Wear his training gear and putting on his headband. Before he off he went to Kureha to see if she much better. When he got up temple she up and about. She much better then when he left.

"Off to Shadow fortress?"

Ryu nodded

"Be safe, Ryu" Kureha said with a smile

Ryu nodded again and vanish to Shadow Fortress. As he left the Dark dragon blade flare up again without Kureha and Ryu knowledge.

Ryu quickly when through the Shadow Fortress fighting and killing the ninja that was getting in his away as reach the main door to Shadow fortress. He open the door to see Murai waiting for. They fought that as Murai was tough opponent the Ryu ever fought he was able to defeat him barely.

"It seem that you were train well, Ryu." Murai said as sat down.

Ryu nodded try not to show his fatigue from battle.

"Where your father Ryu?"

"He went off training in the in the sacred wilderness. He never seem satisfied the power he have." Ryu said in emotionless tone

"When you get older you'll understand the power means everything. Especially since the increase of fiends around. How is the sister blade of the dragon sword, the Dark dragon?"

"It under protection of the village it power untouched." Ryu said not mentioning the flare up it been getting.

"What a shame. A Sword like that to be never to use."

Ryu was about to say some before he heard the door bust open to see Ayane running in.

"Master Murai the Hayabusa village-" Ayane then look at Ryu as she didn't realize he was there. "Master Ryu."

From the look from her eye tell that there was something was wrong. Ryu look out the window where the direction where Hayabusa village would be. He saw flame from distance. Ryu eyes widen and quickly ran off towards the village.

As he reach village some house were on fire and there were dead body around. As Ryu fought the samurais that was attacking the village. He fought many of them trying reach the scared temple know that main source of why they were there.

When he finally got to the dark dragon temple that was on fire. Ryu eyes widen as reach the enterist to she Kureha was there hold her stomach. Ryu can see the massive wound there, before Kureha could say anything to Ryu a sword burst through her chest. Ryu's widen in shock as he saw the dark dragon blade rip through his best friend. Kureha fall on floor bloody and not moving. Ryu try to move till his sense a powerful fiend. He saw someone step out of temple. They were clad in a dark armor of a samurai. The dark armor samurai didn't have a face but insist purple flames.

The samurai turn to Ryu "well, the half breed is here. I was also was looking for you. Now I can kill two birds with one." The samurai pointed the dark dragon blade towards Ryu.

Ryu was still in shock of what he saw but soon he felt angry for what happen. His village is in ruin, the dark dragon blade been stolen, and worse of all his best friend had been killed by this fiend. Ryu pull out his training blade and charge at the samurai.

"fufu. You charge at me, half –breed? I thought that dragon warrior taught you better than that."

There blade clash before Ryu's blade broke in two.

"Why not come at with your dragon blade? Or maybe that you can't weld the blade?" the Samurai laughed

"Shut up!" Ryu hissed as he was about sheath the dragon sword, he felt something in him telling him not to do it. But in that point he didn't care. He pull the sword from his sheath to reveal the blade to the fiend. As hold the sword, it felt like his hands were on fire.

"Look like a half-breed like you couldn't hold blade."

Before Ryu could do anything the samurai made one might slash across his upper body. Ryu collapse on the ground. The Samurai look down to see if dragon warrior was alive before he left.

Everything went dark for Ryu and the only thing he before he fell to dark he could hear a voice.

"Ryu. Live."
