Throughout human history, people have failed for they believed they had Time.
Why is this the case?
Because Death is not Seen or Felt, it comes from the Allotment of Time man has been given...has formed in Completion.
As I Ponder about Destiny and God, I picture an Office/Hall filled with hourglasses, each with their own..."name" that specifies a human's Time to Live, and wonder how reincarnation affects Time.
But Time is Money, as least for my bills, and a lot of it passes before I Meet a person's gaze who seems to be staring intently at me, Mifune's disciple, Radha.
Time, ironically, seems to sit still as voices feel like they're Fading and she comes up to me, nearly face-to-face, as hushed whispers descend upon on us like gossip, and opens her dainty little mouth with: "Do you still Love Humanity?"
Wondering if this is some sort of test, I'm left bewildered at her seemingly hysterical chuckle to the question she, Radha, herself asked.
Towering over me with a physique that's more adult-like, she circles around me once, and makes a statement to seemingly no one and yet everyone watching this spectacle with: "Ninjas seem Inhumane to me".
Radha then turns to me with blue eyes that pierce through mine after my slight reaction of eyes widening and grins all the more ferociously when she makes the statement: "I would surround you on all sides, but it seems like you would want to excuse to kill, wouldn't you Miho."
Shit. I immediately activate my sharigan and have to dodge 10 ranged sword slashes and launch a hip thruster kunai into the ceiling at a grappler.
Obviously they must be prepared for on the ceiling stood Radha herself who after slashing a sword against my kunai, cuts through it like butter, forcing me back while landing punches when her sword couldn't reach me.
As I flip back down and get cuts on my back while dodging more sword slashes, "Radha" the clone, the one I was talking to, immediately falls prey to my genjutsu paralyzer and disperses upon contact with my shuriken while Radha's main body jump down and throws out Flying Slashes that I dodge once again by a hair's breath and the Thankfulness of God.
As I'm surrounded by all Angles, and escape paths cut off, I turn to glare at the seemingly innocent "Radha" in front of me and realize that a henge is involved.
Before this dissolves further I scream out: "ALL TRIALS ARE GIVEN HONOR FOR FIRE BURNS IN ITS STEAD".
Instead of fighting to the Death, I pull out a book from the storage seal on my skin like a sneaky, Ninja-esque, seemingly paranoid person, and invoke an old rule from a Lost handbook from long ago by reading: "All men have the right to trial by Honor, especially those who wish to claim Innocence in the Hands of God whose Purity Shines Down upon Thee."
Silence remains as the samurai around, pale at the implications. I am to be given a trial for seemingly "trespassing" into the Land of Iron without permission. And by Honor means I can "fight" for my Honor in a Duel, albeit with only Samurai rules.
Radha herself seems to be aware of this too and looks furious at the implications of giving anyone Time.
No one moves in the tense silence that follows until protocols are followed and I'm escorted out with metaphorical chains and a shitstorm of politics that will no doubt be played along with assassination attempts on my person.
I guess I'll never be Low Key.
