"Testing. 1, 2, 3. Ok. My audio is clean. Please say something, Shadow."


"(Insert favorite movie quote). Is that good?"


"Indeed. Now, we have a moderate amount of knowledge about your involvement with the Kyubi Clan's split up, but we don't known how you got your powers, the suit, or anything else about you, and we were hoping you could shed some light on that."


"Well, on one hand, I really don't wanna pull a Genos on you guys and bore you out. But on the other hand, I have to let the elephant out the room, one way or another. So, I might as well go on and tell it. Also, for those of you at home that are listening to this podcast, kick back, relax, and grab some snacks, because this here is a long one..."



It all started in a suburban town called Emerald Hills. I was just your normal kid, with a normal life. I got me a family, a friend, and one big dream. That dream in particular, is to become a Ninja. The reason for that is because my mom's friend, and our next door neighbor, had a lot of movies about samurais, ninjas, and martial arts. And you best believe that left an influence on me the size of Jupiter.

Her son, Tyler, and is also my best friend, is also fond of these movies. I can't tell you how many times we reenacted the sword fights, and the martial art fights in those movies. It was a good life...until that day came. It was 4 years ago. I was 16.

It was around nighttime. All of us were asleep. In my dreams, I began to have very vague visuals of me getting operated on, getting stuff injected in me. Yep, apparently some shady company captured me and killed Mom and Dad in their sleep. I was in and out of it when they were modifying me.

Once more, I had more visuals. This time, I was in some kind of stasis chamber, Tyler set me free, he used his new powers to help us escape, and got near a railroad. He put me behind some rocks to let me rest in my semi-vegative state. I then vaguely heard muffled yells and rapid popping noises.

It was around midnight when I finally woke up. I noticed the suit you see before you on my body, then realized what happened. I rushed over to where Tyler was...but I was too late. A whole evening too late. I saw my former best friend with many bullet holes in him, with a familiar red liquid leaking out of them. Some were the size of pennies, while others were the size of nickles. As I fully registered what I saw, I completely broke down and bawled my eyes out. Like, why wouldn't I? The guy who I would even call my brother was killed, and I did absolutely nothing to prevent it.

I did had the decency and energy to make a makeshift grave for him. I then noticed that he stole a sword and a sheath from them too, and they never bothered to get it back. So before I buried him, I took the sword and the sheath, stored them on my back, hopped on the midnight train, and headed to Humdinger.

When I got there, I met Scott Garfield, a professional swordsman. He helped me train my swordsmanship. I then met a male Silver Renamon by the name of Daigo Foxtrotter. He helped me to become an actual Ninja by training my stealth, speed, agility, strength and what not.

During on of our training sessions, I was practicing jumping long distances. When I tried to get on a far platform, I slipped and cut my thigh open pretty bad. Now, that would've stopped my dream, if it didn't start rapidly healing. We were both confused, yet fascinated that I had rapid healing. As time progressed, I figured out that I had elemental powers. After a bit more training to control my powers, I was officially a Ninja. I then figured that "Hey. Maybe I can use my powers to help people in exchange for money."


"...And that's how I became the so-called Mercenary of Legend'. "


"Firstly, we are sorry for your loss. Secondly, how come you look 16, but your 20."


"Oh! I forgot to mention that I apparently have enhanced longevity, which is why I still look 16, even though I'm 20."


"I see...Well, I believe it's time for the main event. Don't you?"


"Sure thing. I will tell you the tale of me, the Kyubi Clan, and Rin."
