TMNT X Shinobi Reader

7.

Y/n stays behind as Donnie and the Pulverizer suddenly leave in quite a hurry. She wanted to help, but Donnie ended up convincing her to stay in the lair. So, she took that chance to get to talk with the mutant rat. "So, if I may ask, why did you want to meet me?" She askes before getting the tea cup he offers her. That before she served his - if I'm not mistaken, in Japan, first you serve others, then you wait for one of them to serve you - and took a sip of hers.

"You see, Y/n. Many years ago, me and my sons lived in Japan before moving to America. Back then, near Mt. Mito, we found this family of the Murakami Clan. I took my time and ended up learning that some branches of the family became ninjas. Is that correct?"

"Hai. (Yes.) That is the branch of the Murakami Clan where I was born. My uncle and my father taught me almost everything I know nowadays."

He nods, takes a sip of his tea and turns back to her. "Would you mind telling me why you came to America with only your uncle?"

She frowns before looking down. "... When I was little, the Foot Clan attacked us unprovoked and killed everyone. Only my uncle and I were able to survive that massacre. But with a cost. My uncle lost his sight, and I have scars to let the memories of that night hunt me down until the end of my days." She answers him with a tone filled with sadness, fear and anger. But those feelings are washed away as she looks up at him with curiosity in her eyes. "Why do you ask?"

"The reason why I brought my sons to America was because I heard that the Murakami Clan was slaughtered by the Foot Clan. And since they were the only ones living near us, I decided to flee back to America."

"I see... But... Why would the Foot Clan concern you so much?"

"Their leader, Oroku Saki, took everything from me. My name, my wife... And my little daughter."

Y/n covers her mouth in horror before laying her hand on one of Splinter's. "Hontōni mōshiwakenai. (I am so sorry.)"

He smiles softly and takes her hand on his, like a father would to thank his daughter. "Arigatō, watashi no aisuruhito. (Thank you, my dear.)"

After that, Master Splinter and Y/n kept speaking about their experiences in New York city so far.

"So you have not finished your training yet?" He askes her with his eyes a tad wide. "But my sons said that you are a great fighter."

She blushes a bit as she hears that his sons have been talking about you to their father so highly. "W-Well... It is true that my training in ninjutsu is far from over, but I've been taking lessons in other martial arts in order to get stronger. But I would be lying if I said that I didn't want to start training ninjutsu again. But only my uncle used to teach me, and now he's blind and completely out of practice."

"Then... Would you like if I took the charge of being your mentor in ninjutsu?" He askes and as soon as he sees her surprised face, he smiles. "Shinkendesu ka? (Are you serious?)" She askes him with hope clear in her voice and his smiles only gets bigger. "Of course. I believe that not only you will become a great friend to my sons, but a powerful ally as well. So, what do you say? Will you be my apprentice?"

She thinks for a bit before bowing her head. "Anata no tsubasa no shita de benkyō suru koto wa meiyodesu. (It will be an honor to study under your wing.)"

"Soshite, ashita kara torēningu ga hajimarimasu. (Then, starting tomorrow, your training will begin.)"

"Wakatta, sensei. (Understood, sensei.)"

He smiles at his new pupil. (I believe my sons will be very surprised with this, but for now, the more allies we have, the better for us all.)
