Rising Shinobis [Discontinued]

Special: Shuji Akutō Edition ✔️

A child was slapped and thrown to the grown by a large muscular man. 

"Idiot child!" yelled the man as he kicked the boy. 

The little boy only stayed quiet as his little brother hid behind a tree, watching the scene. 

"You are supposed to become the next Rogue Prince! If you don't do this mission, then you'll never become powerful enough to make your dead mother proud!" yelled the man. 

The child of nine slowly stood up, holding his left side. 

"I'll never hurt her," mumbled the boy as he gritted his teeth. 

The little boy was punched into a tree. The man walked up to the weak child and picked him up by the neck, holding him into the air against the tree. 

"You will do as I say, remember who's in charge here, ya little shit," sternly said the man as he threw the boy to the ground. 

Before leaving, the man said, "Do it tomorrow tonight, or I'll have to kill you." 

The boy sat up and coughed blood. 

"Shuji!" yelled the little figure that ran from his hiding spot. 

"Sh, it's okay," mumbled Shuji as he let his little brother lay on him. 

"Br-Brother, I'm scared," cried out his little brother.

"It's okay Nobu, he's gone," reassured Shuji as he rubs Nobu's back.

"Are you going to kill the girl?" questioned Nobu. 

"No, of course not, she's too beautiful to be killed," stated Shuji as he thought about Tamit.

~~A Few Hours Ago~~

Shuji followed closely behind his father in the night, leaping from tree to tree. They came upon a village. The words, "Shizen Village," were spelled upon the sign that was nailed onto the front gates. 

"Shuji, my dear son, you must kill someone in this village to become The Rogue Prince," sternly said his father. 

Shuji didn't want to kill anyone, but he nodded and let his father continue. 

"Her name is Tamit Hikari, after you kill her, bring her back to The Rogue Caves. We'll conduct studies and find out the secret of the Hikari trait," explained his father. 

Shuji gulped, "Why a girl father?"

"Because the girls tend to be weaker. Be glad that I gave you an easy task child, not many kids get a mission this easy," said his father. 

His father was on the move again. Shuji followed behind as they quickly jumped from rooftop to rooftop without being detected. Soon, they came to a stop at a large house with dim lights. A little girl that looked to be Shuji's age walked out into the backyard to sit at a Koi pond. 

"That's her son, report back as soon as possible," said his father as he retreated back to The Rogue Caves. 

Shuji sat there for a minute, pondering. At last, he tied a bandana over his face, his eyes being the only thing showing. Shuji leaped down to meet the girl, holding an uncovered wakizashi in his hands.

"Do you intend on killing me?" questioned the girl as calm as ever. 

"I'm supposed to," replied back Shuji. 

"Then do it," said the brown-haired female. 

Shuji stared at the face of the girl. She was far more beautiful than all the girls he ever saw.
