Chapter 5

Kage was now having tea at Ana's home as she asked"So where did you live before here ?"

Kage smiled and replied"I lived in Japan most of my life."Ana was surprised and was now curious as she questioned"So any particular reason you wanted to move to the states."Kage shook his head and answered"Nothing actually it was some personal reasons.I am looking for my little,he ran away from home."Kage had searched for Storm Shadow a lot,but nothing but small info about someone seeing with oldman.But other than that nothing Kage knew one thing who ever framed storm shadow wanted him for his potential as fighter and their was the fact he was related to the Hardmaster.The first thing he guessed was Renji was behind it,but it soon proved wrong after he hacked and checked all of his past calls and dealings.

Ana felt pity as she said"I can understand,I have little brother if my own.I would have been doing the same thing"As both of heard someone open the door and say"Sis I am back."

Kage saw the Ana's brother he was skinny guy with dark eyes and very formal haircut as he looked confused seeing me and questioned"Who is this Ana?"

Ana smiled introduced me while gesturing towards her brother and said"This is my genius, egghead brother Rexford Lewis."

Rex groaned and corrected"It's Rex nor Rexford Ana."Kage who just smiled at seeing the interaction between the siblings,he found Rex was a friendly guy and was very intelligent and Ana affectionately referred to him as her "

Kage got to know Ana little better as she was kind and funny,Kage also easily befriended her brother Rex.But things were pretty tense when he met one of Rex's friend Duke the guy was glaring at me most of the time.Kage could see he was jealous of Ana's attraction toward me which is something he had nor control over.As months passed by quickly.

In that time he sharpened the teachniques he learned under his sensei,these secret techniques that belonged to the clan.Kage had mastered the ways of the Arashikage and became skilled in various skills and other abilities.These abilities are able to give make normal humans into super-humans.But not everyone can master them.

The first one is Arashikage Mind-Set it is a form of self hypnotism that requires extreme concentration and focus. It is perhaps the most powerful and dangerous of the Arashikage secrets, granting a warrior unshakable resolve and tenacity. The Mind-Set will cause a warrior to ignore pain and fear, and has proven capable of casting off the effects of brainwashing.

The second one is the Cloak of the Chameleon,which Using extreme physical control, the Cloak of the Chameleon alters breathing and circulatory patterns, in order to perfectly mimic the sounds of another person. which has the ability to alter the breathing and the bio rhythmic patterns to mimic the resonance of another person -- almost to the point of becoming them.

The third one is Ear That Sees,it is an exercise that concentrates hearing, to compensate for loss of sight. The Ear That Sees allows a warrior to identify a foe through sound alone, with cues such as heartbeat, the sound of cloth against cloth, and the patterns of breathing and other movement.

The fourth technique is Sleeping Phoenix,this technique mimics death, by exerting extreme physical control over involuntary bodily processes. It has proven valuable in fooling enemies, and in extending survival.

Finally the last one is The Blind Sword,a lesser sword fighting technique that allows the practitioner to defend itself on no visibility conditions, consisting in just extending the sword using its scabbard for touch and compensate loss of sight.

This technique was a creation of Kage himself it is called the Art Of Self Healing.It is special technique which uses the sleeping phoenix to heal wounds,although you can still succumb to your wounds if you lose too much blood.Kage created this skill for Storm Shadow as this could save his life if he gets injured.

After practicing each technique Kage heard the doorbell ring as he went found it was Ana who on seeing Kage is shirtless blushed and turned away saying"Sorry it seems I came at the wrong time."

Kage quickly went and put his shirt on as he said"Your can turned around if you want."

Ana turned arounf to see Alex all coverd up as she asked"So I wanted to ask if you wanted to join us for breakfast."Kage smiled and replied"Yeah,that sounds nice."
