1 Land Of Dawn

The moonshine over the world shine the land the night is calm the sound of bamboo leaves blown by the wind calm the heart of the person who listens to it.

Meanwhile, two shadows currently facing each other on top of a pavilion some cloud shroud them from the moonlight, both of them don't speak any word only silently gaze at each other.

One of the shadows begins to talk to the other shadow. "Hanabi, this battle we will not be able to fight anymore after this battle."

The cloud that covers the moonlight begins to move to reveal a black haired girl that wears a mask, but it can't hide her beauty even though she gives a cold feeling to anyone who sees her face. People can feel her fiery power inside of her giving people dangerous aura.

"I see so the elder thinks that you are ready to fight the traitor, aren't they? Hayabusa." She coldly said this sentence.

"Yes, let's fight with all we got since it will be long until I can fight with you again."

She doesn't reply to him and instead grabs her giant shuriken-like weapon and prepare herself to launch an attack. Seeing that Hayabusa also grab his weapon, he held tightly his ninjato in his back.

One leaf fluttering in the air in front of them slowly falling toward the pond below the pavilion, it reaches the surface of the pond.

Suddenly, Hayabusa uses his feet to launch himself toward Hanabi, she throws some small shuriken toward him. Clearly seeing the shuriken he repels the shuriken using his blade, successfully repel the attack he begins to counter-attack.

"I'll give my best prepare yourself." He made a hand sign and suddenly four shadows come out of his body, the shadow stays still in place but one of them fly toward Hanabi.

"I have seen this move too many time already, there is no way I will get hit by it." She roared and jump backward avoiding the shadow.

"A ninja should not underestimate their foe, You must crave this in your mind." Hayabusa suddenly already stand in front of her while the shadow replaces him in the back.

He throws shuriken that made from the shadow toward her, Hayabusa not finished attacking yet he continues to attack by dashing toward her.

Seeing the incoming attack she knows that she should dodge the shuriken since if she uses her Shuriken she will give an opening to him.

She dashes toward the left while throwing her kunai toward Hayabusa, she had successfully dodged the attack.

"Don't be proud yet. Taste my attack first." She throws the big shuriken behind her toward Hayabusa, not done yet she throws many kunai at him.

Both of them fight until the dawn come and the sun starts to warm the world from the cold night, a lot of trees destroyed in their fight how intense the fight could be seen from the aftermath.

Hanabi could be seen leaning on a boulder near the pond, debris and broken branches scattered near her.

"I know that you will also set out to find and kill the traitor and that we will probably meet again soon, but I won't fight you if we meet since our mission come first."

Hayabusa left the battlefield after saying what he needs to say leaving behind injured Hanabi.

Seeing the departing shadow her eyes flash with determination. 'I am not gonna lose.' The thought of not wanting to lose to him always followed her, she gets up and departed to toward her sect the Scarlet Crimson Sect.

Hanabi comes from Scarlet Crimson Sect while Hayabusa comes from Shadow Sect, both of that sect come from the same origin but now they become separated into two sects.

Both sect still hopes that one day they can become one again and restore their former glory, but they need a leader to unify both sects.

The leader from both sects supposed to fight to show their worth to both of the sects, The former Shadow the leader of Shadow Sect is a genius ninja that acknowledged by people from both sects.

But, the man that they put hope to betray their expectation by killing his companion the leader of Scarlet Crimson Sect at that time, the Strongest ninja from both sect hunt the traitor down but they ended up being killed.

Though their effort successfully injured badly the traitor driving him off the land of Iga, The Traitor escaped toward the Land of Dawn and join the dark forces there.

The Elder both of the sect hear the news and decided that the one that successfully brings the head of the traitor is going to be the leader of the ninja. So Hayabusa becomes the champion of the Shadow Sect and Hanabi as a champion of Scarlet Crimson Sect.

Both of them have become rival and friend since a young age, but Hayabusa doesn't know that his friend has a feeling toward him. It becomes one of her reason why she wants so badly win the competition for the leader position.

She knows that Hayabusa has already had someone on his heart, but she wouldn't give up that easily. She had trained hard to win the fight for the leader's seat.

Hayabusa currently boarding a ship that will take him to Land of Dawn, he calmly seated on the corner of the ship. 'Soon I will arrive at Land of Dawn, Hanzo your head shall be mine.' Resting his eyes he made a plan to find the traitor.

Unbeknownst to him, a ship is currently made its way toward the ship he boarded, the black flag on that ship show their hostile intention clearly. The ship filled with seaweed, moss, and starfish on every part of the ship, a man with a large blade in one of his hand and canon as his other hand stands in the hull.

His head is no man like instead, he had like an octopus, his blade covered with the aura of the sea it seems to be able to control the wave of the sea.

"You all shall tremble before the dreadful Captain Bane." The man roared at the ship Hayabusa boarded.
