Chapter 1 - The Dancing Forest

Chapter One

The thundering rain crashes on the rooftop as a peaceful family lay and rest. The dog sits up and stares at the door and barks every minute or two.

The father awakens and senses something is wrong before getting up to take a look.

In a instant he sees a shadow rush by the window.

Reaching to his wife he whispers "My love, get our child and go through the tunnel in the basement, ill be with you in a few minutes, now go"

As soon as the wife and kids leave the father goes to the other side of the room, slow and steady, and as soon as he is about to take the katana off its stand a loud bang interupts him. Three men in black enter his home. "So this is the trash heap the great Tabuyashi hid away in, kind of a sad look for lord Hatake's Greatest weapon, before you killed his only heir!"

They slowly walk towards him and as soon as he saw their weapons were drawn he jumped to his feet, kicked the cupboard that was displaying his katana and as soon as it fell midair he grabbed it and took his stance. "Once more i tell you, I had nothing to do with that assassination, This was all a plan to get me away from the Lords side, because as we all know im his only loyal subject!"

The men laugh as they took their attacking formation, "Dont you think we know that, who do you think sent us here, the Lord?, dont flatter yourself, he has no idea we even exist"

The first Ninja rushed towards him and attempts a fatal slash, his attack was evaded and with a swift attempt he gets a blade lunged into his back, and with a smooth motion he gets split in half from the waist down.

In astonishment the other two get aggressive and rush to take their revenge, in a delicate motion the second one got swiftly dispatched with both his hands removed clean from the wrist and a deadly bash to the skull leaving his eyes hanging out their sockets.

The last one now realized that this man is indeed no easy task to remove from this earth and tried to retread, in a second the mans body froze as Tabuyashi initiates an unknown skill and slowly approached him. "Thanks to you, i need to find a new home, and that is no easy task knowing that im a wanted man, now rest. Your miserable life has come to an end" and his knife slipped into the mans heart without any disturbance and as soon as he removed it he instantly decapitated him and left to the tunnel to join his family.

In the tunnel he sees that there were a few items out of place and more footsteps than there were supposed to be, and just after realising this he hears his wife scream "RUN SUKO, RUNNN!!! His heart races as his speed increases and anger blinds him. As soon as he reaches the end of the tunnel moonlight disturbs his vision and when he got a chance to see what was infront of him, the horror stunned him to his soul.

His wife head, held my the hair presented by her corps lying dead on the ground. This was their mission, after studying the house and mapping it to cause as much trauma and pain to his family.

Tabuyashi's eyes turned a dark red and in one surge of anger he roared before rushing to his enemies.

Tossing his sword towards one of them he pierced him and nailed him to the tree, the other tossed his wifes head and attempted to flee before getting grabbed by the hair and forced to the ground, "WHERE IS MY SON!" The man layed there with a bloody face "I dont know i swear, he ran into the woods and one of my guys went after him" Tabuyashi turned the man and brought his face towards his and asks him "Who sent you?

In terror the man refuses to say anything and then in a blink of an eye Tabuyashi saw his grin and realised its not over yet.

In seconds kusarigama blades pierce his back and leaves him with deadly wounds. The enemies in the trees pull strings and held him up before revealing themselves, "So Tabuyashi, at long last we caught you, any last words?"

He smiled as a trickle of blood runs down his mouth, "Total amateurs" and as soon as he spoke those words his eyes turned blood shot and he began growling and snarling like a wild animal, his muscles grew and grew till he resembled a giant and without warning he broke the chains which they attempted to bind him with. In total confusion they all stood back and wondered what their next move will be, now that their final attempt at catching the raging beast was a total fail. They all sprung into different directions and ran as fast as they could, and right behind them they could hear his dreadful howl.

The Raging Tabuyashi was strong on their tails and one by one they were plucked from existence and finally when the last man fell, he sat on his knees and transformed back to his original state, battered and bruised. Now after suffering all those attacks and wounds he realized that that was his final fight, all he could do now is pray his son finds refuge and safety wherever he winds up.

As he sat there his muscles weakened and his strength fades, the memories of his great adventures and the beloved ones he cared for so much start flashing before his eyes, the great Tabuyashi was about to leave this world and no one had the privilege of seeing his last great battle.

But this story does not end here, it will live on as his son will carry his legacy onward.
