*ninja then dash towards hana punching her very fast but hana saw it in time to block it*
(he's fast).
*hana thought*
"hmm i see you are a very skilled lady".
*ninja then steps back*
*the smoke clears out*
*coughing* "his punch was quick but not enough power to force me down".
"i can do this!".
*hana shouts*
meanwhile at the medic room akira is watching hanas match from the tv.
"damn i got high hopes that this ninja dude is suppose to be strong but all he did is throw a gas bomb to the ground".
*akira said with a dissapointing expression*
"well i guess me and hana are gonna fight from the semi finals after all"

stealth art:invisible shurikens
(focus hana you can do this)
*hana thought*
art of the pink blossom: petal dance

*ninja unconcious body drop to the ground*
"ha..hana moriko wins the match!".
*crowd cheered loudly*
*hana then looks at his hand*
"oh no i used it again".
"woah that was awesome!".
*akira amaze from the attack hana did*
*ninja being carried away by the medic*
*hana running towards ninja*
"uhm mister ninja im very sorry i hurt you a lot".
*hana bows to ninja*.
"thats okay...you know your really strong little lady".
*ninja said*
*hana then was happy to hear that from his opponent*
*hana then goes to akiras medic room*
"akira!".
*hana slams the door open*
"what the hell don't you know how to knock".
*akira said that with a shock impression*
"oh im sorry hehe".
*hana said that while scratching her head*
"oh oh did you saw my match?".
*hana ask*
"yeh you were cool back there!"
(not gonna lie the ninja looks cooler)
*akira thought*
"hehe thank you".
"oh yeah your special move was great aswell that was so good, when you punch the wind or something and theres a huge shcokwave and flowers that was so good!".
*hana then lower her head*
"i didn't really want to use that move".
"huh what do you mean?".
"you see my art style is forbidden to be used because of its destructive power".
"eh?"
"you see 1000 years ago there was a god who was sent to earth to help the people defeat the evil forces,back then 4 clans was pick to inherit the art style that can damage the evil forces but some clans were not chosen and mine was one of them so the other clans felt jealous of the 4 because they will fight to protect while the others will just stand in the corner watching the war,so our clan leader goes to search the hidden sakura forest to train alone and create new techniques powerfull enough to harm the dark forces, and couple of years have pass 3 dark entities have come to earth ready to enslave it but the 4 clans have mastered there style of fighting and is ready for war, while that happens our clan leader has mastered the art of the pink blossom and joins the war alone without his fellow clan members and so the war began and the 4 clans have won the battle but no one notice the help of our leader,and because of that our leader was mad because the people of earth didn't notice his help, so he pledge that he will never used the art of the pink blossom again,as time went pass some of the great leaders blood line have practiced the arts secretly over the years,until the technique was pass to me the last clan member of the moriko family".
"so in other words you don't want to hurt people or accidently kill them right?".
"....yes..".
"i see but why don't you just give up fighting?".
*akira ask*
"because there is a rumor that the 3 dark entities will be back to earth....so i want to be strong to protect the people i care and the earth".
*hana said*
*akira smiles*
"you know hana i like you".
*akira said to hana*.
*hana blushes*
"wha...what!..what do you mean we just met its too early for that kind of relat-".
"your a cool friend to have hana haha".
*akira said while laughing*
"oh..oh yes a friend hehe".
*hana laughs nervously*
"by the way has the final match started?".
"oh well i don't know yet,why dont we see to the tv".
"yeah sure".
*akira grabs the remote and opens the tv*
"okay folks those last fights are intense so why dont we just go ahead and finish it of with the finals!".
*crowds cheer*
"okay let us see our final fighters!".

"woah that girl with the white hair looks cute".
*hana said*
(what the hell is a fighting style called fire of destiny?).
*akira thought*
:okay fighters i guess you should know the rules by now why dont we just start the match okay?".
*the referee said*
"yes sir".
*devilman said*
*kaze nodded*
"okay begin!".
*crowd cheering*
"hmm well lady i am impressed that you are not scared of a devil".
*devilman said with a grin*.
"i am fearless and you are not even a devil those are just fake dragon wings you bought from a store".
*kaze said calmly*
"shut the fuck up!"
"fire of destiny art: fireball!"
*kaze getting ready to dodge the unknown attack*
*devilman then drinks gas and pulls out a lighter and blow the gas that he drinks to the lighter creating a huge flame ball*
(what the hell).
*akira thought*
*kaze easily dodge the huge flame ball*
*kaze looks at devilman*
"damn you lady!".
"i'll get you!".
*devilman then dash towards kaze getting ready to punch her*.
"i have no time for you".
*kaze said*
*kaze then kicks devilman to the chest so hard that it drops him unconcious*
"you are not my target from this tournament".
*kaze said as she glares at kanji*
*kanji saw kaze glaring at him so he glares back*
"devilman is no longer unable to fight therefore kaze wins the final match and will be competing to the finals".
*the referee said*
*crowd cheers*
"akira homura"
"kanji hitodama"

"thats okay i know she's in a better place now".
*hana looks at the sky*
"how about you akira how did you learn your fire ability?".
"oh my old man taught me how to use it since my father passed away,after that izo took care of me and trained me how to defend myself...honestly i appreciate the old man more than i expected".
*hana then smiled at akira*
"your so dramatic brat"
*izo said while walking with akira and hana*
"what hell! where did you just come from?".
*akira ask*

"i see you have good eyes to look for a girl akira".
*izo said with a smirk*
"oh shut up".
"she's just my friend that's all".
"thats what they all say akira".
*akira grumping at izo*
"well since its only the two of us now akira i will tell something".
"huh what is it?".
"kanji hitodama his surname sounds familiar to me and his fighting style".
"its similar to yours akira".
"huh are you saying that kanji guy can be my relative or something?".
"*sigh* lets go home first akira".
"ah okay".
*izo and akira entering at their home*
"okay lets seat down first akira".
*akira sat down*
"i will tell you a story about a war 1000 years ag-".
"its about the dark entities and 4 clans and shit right i already know that from hana".
"oh really well thats great but do you know that your clan is one of the clan that deafeted the 4 entities?".
"my clan? you mean our fighting art came from a god?!".
"yes your flames have been a gift from a god 1000 years ago to beat the dark entities back then".
"but why are you telling me now?".
"because i don't think you are ready yet".
"ready what?".
"the dark entities in 3 years from now".
"what!?".
*akira stands up*
"i thought you said they were defeated".
"yes but that was a long time ago their powers regenerate and they will be back stronger than before,that was the prophecy".
"the prophecy is a never ending war?!".
"that is why your father wanted you to be strong to defeat those entities once and for all".
"how can i beat mythical beings old man?".
"i barely won fighting torashi from the tournament".
"i will never beat them".
"you are not alone akira there is still time to recruit the 3 other clans that fought the dark entities".
"and i think that kanji hitodama is one of them".
"judging from his fighting style earlier his likely to be one of the 4 retainers who can damage the dark entities so it's best to ask him to participate to the war that is going to happen".
"your saying from this 3 years i must find warriors and recruit them for the war that is coming?".
*izo nodded*
flashback
"akira protect the once you loved"
*akiras father said to him*
"*sigh* guess i have no other choice then since im the one of the only people that can save the world i'll just get stronger then no big deal".
*akira said with a smile*
"don't worry akira i'll be the first warrior that will join your army".
"thanks old man".
"now get to sleep or you'll get your ass beat tomorrow".
