The Rise of Jericho Part 1

A 12 year old Jericho washes into the shore of Wariko. He has his gun beside him with some bullets in it. His hair is shorter than present time.

He wakes up coughing and choking on sea water. He gets up and rub his eyes.

"Where the hell am I?"

He sees a sign in the distance. He runs up to it.

'Welcome to Wariko'.

"So I'm at Wariko."

Jericho smiles.

"It's time to make this country my BITCH!"

He lets off an evil laugh.

He walks into the first city he comes across. It seems like there's a parade going on.

"What are they celebrating?"

There's dancing, songs being played out loud. The scent of delicious food covers the whole place.

Jericho then sees a gang of people mugging a lady. They take her purse and start running. Jericho gets interested so he climbs up a building and follows them. Jumping from building to building.

The guys who mugged the lady meet up a big guy in an alleway. He has two people beside them. One a swordsman.

They give him the purse. The big guy gives them money as a reward. The three of them leave. As they make distance away from them, Jericho shoots one of the grunts dead. They all look at where the bullet came from. No one's there.

They're all mortified. Jericho appears behind one and puts the gun to his head.

"Tell me where your boss stays if you don't want to end up like your friend!"

"Even if I tell you, he'll kill you. There's no way a kid like you could beat hi-"

Jericho shoots his head. The others get scared.

"In a place not to far from here. Just keep going straight from here. It's next to the store that sells apples and pineapples."

"Thanks guys."

Jericho looks at the dead body.

"You see, it wasn't that hard now was it?"

Jericho then heads to the base. One of the grunts call their boss to warn him that a kid with a gun is coming.

"It's just a kid. What harm could he do. After all, we're now with the Peace Hunters."

He hangs up.

He tells the swordsman to search for Jericho. He then goes and does just that.

On the way, Jericho gets attacked. A wave of Inferno Flames target him. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, an Inferno Swordsman appears and attempts to murder Jericho with his blade. Jericho evades and then kicks his knee. The swordsman falls to his knees as a result of this. He then smacks him with his sword, jumps up on his knee, and fires a slew of Light Bullets at him.

The swordsman uses his sword to block does bullets. However, he's unable to react to any of the bullets in time, he blocks some out of luck.

The bullets pierced his body. He does an excellent job at repairing the damage. He stands up and begins to charge the aura in his blade.

"You seem tough kid. But even if you beat me, never in a million years will you beat the boss!"

"I'll fight whoever I need to fight. I can tell you guys do a lot of bad things. It's time for that to change!"

"You can't change anything once your dead!"

"Huh?"

Jericho takes a step back. He notices a large man behind him and immediately has his head slammed to the ground.

"I didn't expect you to come all the way out here because of a kid."

"What?! A kid that put a good amount of bullets in you. Go back to base and heal up."

"Yes sir."

The swordsman walks away. Leaving Jericho and the boss alone.

Jericho gets up slowly.

"Damn. So you're the boss? You sure pack a punch."

"Where the hell did you come from. I heard you attacked some of my men. And you also made light work of my strongest soldier. Who are you?!"

Jericho swiftly points his gun towards him.

"You don't need to worry about that. You're dead."

Jericho shoots. The boss stops the bullet with his bare hand. Jericho is startled.

"Argh! You're strong. Okay, I have to take a different approach."

Jericho puts his gun in his holder.

"What's your name?"

"Tsunuma. I'm a Water Disciple. And yourself?"

"Jericho, a Light Disciple."

Jericho raises his aura. He dashes towards Tsunuma and kicks him away at light speed.

Tsunuma stays on his feet. He punches the ground with his bare fist creating a hole. He then raises aura at the palm of his hand.

He puts his hand in the hole.

"Water Technique: Underground Seas!"

The ground beneath them starts to get filled with water. It causes the ground to rumble. Jericho can't keep balance so he falls on the bottom.

"What the hell!"

Then suddenly, the ground shatters. The water rises and overwhelms Jericho. It's as if Tsunuma created a sea below Wariko. Being unable to swim, Jericho drowns.

"This dumb kid wasn't all that."

Tsunuma looks closely. The water starts glowing.

"What the hell is that?"

Huge amounts of aura start beaming out from the water. Then all of a sudden, Kiritsu Jericho leaps out and onto solid ground.

Tsunuma senses the aura being released from Kiritsu Jericho. He's confused to how his aura changed within seconds.

"This has gotten interesting."

He pulls out a little knife.

He runs to Kiritsu Jericho but he vanishes. He then looks around to see where he went.

"Stop hiding!"

Jericho appears in front of him. He slaps the knife out of his hand and catches it.

"Wait-"

Then at light speed, Jericho dashes to him and chops his head off.

The Kiritsu form fades away. He picks up his head and goes to the base.

The Inferno Swordsman is hosting a meeting with all the gang members in the base. His gang name is Machete.

"Let's all wait for boss to come back. He's definitely beating that kid."

Jericho storms in. They're all startled. Some then start vomiting. They see Tsunuma's head in his hands. Machete doesn't know what to say.

"No way. He killed him."

Machete starts laughing.

"We're free!"

Everyone starts cheering.

Jericho jumps on the stage.

"From now on, all of you answer to me! We're going to be doing things the right way! The way where no one has to get hurt!"
