chapter 5

(Hiruko)it's been 2 days since I've started traveling and I can honestly say I don't know where I'm headed I've run into a couple bandit's and and from the information I've gathered there's a village not far from here.

when I arrived at the village, I saw a beautiful dark haired woman being escorted by 7 bandit's even though I may be evil , even I can not resist a beauty In need so I attacked using my scorch I created several flaming fire balls around me one of the bandit's immediately ran towards me with his sword out I leaned out of the way and planted my knee in his stomach while empowered with dark chakra

I heard a loud crunch as he was knocked away from me I think he might've died

*ding*" killed a stage 3 qi condensation human 30 points"

while to other bandit's were distracted I immediately sent several fire balls their way only 3 of them were bright enough to dodge the other 3 were turned to charcoal I rushed to the other 3 delivery deadly strikes at their neck, head and heart killing all three

*ding* *points gained 200*

"thank you for saving me"

(Hiruko)"your welcome but truthfully I can't stand to see a woman in trouble"

"still thank you kind sir my name is hinata"

(Author's note --- don't blame me it was a moment of weakness)

(Hiruko)

hinata took me back to her house where I learned her story and her mother's story, her mother's story is that when she was a beauty who fell in love with a boy who was studying to become an official , she openly persued the guy which with how everyone in this world is it's looked down upon, but any guy being pursued by a pretty girl will not be able to resist , she got pregnant out of wedlock which is also looked down upon, hinata's mom hitomi and her father was excited, but then hinata's father left to attempt to become an official in the profound fire kingdom promising to comeback for hitomi 1 year later

hitomi later found out that hiroshi didn't comeback to get her because he had married another woman , hitomi later committed suicide in the well leaving hinata to be raise by her grandmother who recently passed away hinata was to be given to the bandit's so the village would be left alone

(Hiruko)"I'm sorry you had to go through that , how would you like to join my phantom troupe "

(hinata)"phantom troupe"

(Hiruko) "the phantom troupe is an organization I plan to create for people who have felt and known pain and betrayal , after they join we not only protect each other but should a member ever have a kid the child will also be under our protection and will have ascess to any training resources we have gathered there's only one rule every member muster travel in pairs of 2 or more "

(hinata)" then why are you the only one here"

(Hiruko)"because you are the first one I've meet on my journey if you join you'll never be alone again you have power and a group of friends, you'll be in control of your own fate"

(hinata) "I'll join"

(Hiruko) " I thought so here's a chakra cultivation technique and a list of Techniques and abilities you can exchange for using monster core's and pills they must be rank 1 and higher if it's rank 1 you need more pills to exchange, now come let's buy a map and get going.

........

(authors note I took the name phantom troupe because I like that better plus in a gang you can't mess with any of the gang member or you won't know how you died)
