Chapter 3

Kage after the mission had spent a month in US to create new branch for his company here,but when he returned back to the Clan he found Hardmaster was killed and the person who did it was storm shadow.Kage didn't believe it and said"Storm Shadow is not someone who would just kill Hardmaster."

But Master Renji objected"We all know he was angry and Jealous about Hardmaster's new apprentice Snake eyes."Kage frowned he knew this bastard was making Storm Shadow to be any enemy as he knew the fact before Hardmaster named him the future clan head Renji was actually the one who was supposed be inherit the position.Renji hated Kage since that day and had tried many methods to discredit him.

Kage noticed some of the masters agreeing with him as Kage keeping him emotions check replied"You must remember that Snake eyes never beaten Storm shadow and also their is no clear evidence about him being the attacker."

As Snake eyes and sword which looked similar to Storm Shadows as he thought"That is not storm shadows sword."

Renji with smug look said"As you can see young Snake eyes here saw Storm Shadow attacking Hardmaster and we also have his weapon."

Kage narrowed his eyes at snake eyes and asked"Did you see Snake eyes stab the Hardmaster?"

Snake eyes gulped and replied"No,I only saw him runaway from the dojo.I didn't see him for it."

Kage then turned to Renji who was gritting his teeth and said"So everyone just blamed my little brother without much evidence."before Renji could point the sword Kage cut in"The sword could be used by anyone,their could be people who wanted to frame him.Also we can't take snake eyes words as he has very hostile relationship with storm shadow."

Renji saw their was murmur of agreement with master as he spoke up"So you can't also defend young storm shadow because of your relationship with him."

Kage once gain saw some were actually agreeing with this bullshit as he clenched his fist and said"Then so be it,since no one wants to give my brother a fair trial.I am exiling myself from the clan until I find the real culprit."

Everyone was shocked some of the masters who were looking forward to seeing Kage take the clan head position was no glaring at Renji who was slightly sweating he knew if Kage went many of their recurits will follow him and the backlash he would receive would be so great that the rest of the masters would vote for his removal.

Kage then walked out as some of the masters tried to stop him only for him ignore it,also they saw many students follow behind him as they felt Storm Shadow didn't get fair trial,since some of the points brought out by Kage was valid.

Renji slumped into his seat seeing many students leave with him as he knew his position as master in the clan is gone.The backlash of a future clan head and so many students leaving was too huge to just ignore.

Blind master was sad at the fact their student left the clan because of the injustice Storm Shadow suffered.He knew Hard master was favoring Snake eyes due to his own childhood being the same.Every master in the clan felt the same after all they lost two important students one was Hardmasters nephew,while other was chosen as the next clan head.

The first thing Kage did was try to search for Storm shadow who seemed to have disappeared of the radar as he bit his lip and thought"Someone got through all the trouble to frame him.The question is why."Kage knew it was not snake eyes nor was it Renji as sighed and muttered"Where have you disappeared to little brother?"

The next week Kage took the name Alexander Kage and settled in new york with the rest of his fellow clan members and the most intresting thing is Blind master had given his info to GI joe General Hawk who  was the G.I. Joe's Commander,he had personally fought in several conflicts around the world.
