Naruto Fanfic: Through the Still Night
Prologue
By PsychicNinja
Warm blood on cold skin. A kunai driven deep into an opponent’s chest. The hoot of an owl. And a full moon. The leaves of a bush bristled behind him as the lifeless body hit the ground. There was a slight displacement of air, and a dark figure jumped out from behind him.
“We better get back soon. He wants us back for the next mission as soon as possible,” the figure whispered.
“Yes, of course.”
The branch above him shook as the owl flew into the night; the leaves drifted around him like falling feathers. Takuro Kimura looked behind him at the body mangled in the grass. This place reeked of death. Then the leaves were still. There was no wind tonight, but there never was on nights such as these. The ninja in front of Takuro bent over to check the body of the man he had just killed.
“Not much left of him, Takuro-kun. Sensei will be pleased,” he said.
Takuro said nothing. It was not as if he enjoyed killing, as his master did. To him it was pleasure. To Takuro it was a necessity.
“We better go,” Takuro mumbled.
“Right,” the other ninja said, as the two leapt up into the trees.
Of course, it had not always been this way. Takuro had once be a ninja who lived a peaceful life, full of his so-called friends and family. He didn’t need them now. His only purpose was to serve his lord, and to eventually become stronger than him. It just took time, training, and some planning. Takuro was never a patient person, but he knew he had to wait.
And as Takuro and his partner sailed through the trees toward the Sound Village, it reminded him of that time. That time in the Leaf Village. When he had been out too late training, and stumbled upon a horrendous murder…
Oh, and guess what, my brother (ninja-Z) is now going to help me write. He's not like really the writer (so not really co-writer), just helping with ideas and gives tips and stuff.
