BLACK despair
PART FOUR
"HOPE"
[Setting: Root sub-department division session chambers]
Narrator: There had been an occurrence in which the child almost could not fathom; other children. A tiny shimmer of hope had reached the child in his darkest hours. He began to think, pacing back and forth the plots and the surreal fact that he was not alone and then it hit him like a ton of bricks.
Child: (In thought) Is it possible that most, maybe all are here of their own free will or trapped just like me?
Narrator: Thought after thought encased his brain and left no room for anything else. The teaching assailant continued his lessons and this child was lost in contemplation. Kou standing against the wall starred at the child with no emotion whatsoever but had his own thoughts.
Kou: (In Thought) He apparently seems to be in a compelling trance…just what is he thinking about?
Kou: (Continued in thought) Could it be a vendetta against us?
Assailant #3: Pencils down..lessons over…until tomorrow, remember this is all to further Danzou-sama’s objectives
Narrator: Following orders, the small group of children one after the other exited the room and continued on to the next course. The child somehow snapped himself out of it and before he knew it, all children were gone. His eyes widened as he looked around the room. He then spotted Kou and sensei quietly conversing with one another. As silently as he could, acknowledging the chances being highly low, he began to rise off of the seat and make his way to the door. His plan had thus far been successful as he made it out the room supposedly unseen. Eyes nervously scanned each side of the corridors and he then emitted chakra throughout his fingertips and feet. Swift and silent was he climbing the side walls and onto the ceiling. As quickly as possible did he race through the corridor ceiling searching for any signs of a child.
Assailant #3: You are testing him?
Kou: Yes
Assailant #3: Is this not sufficient enough for Danzou-sama
Kou: No it is not..our leader believes that this child is worth the trials
Assailant #3: How much longer do you intend to wait?
Kou: I suppose it is ample
Kou: (Continued) This child is good although I do not think he is hiding anything else
Assailant #3: Stay guarded and I will keep my eye on him as well
Kou: Understood…
Narrator: With his mind decided, Kou takes off thinking the time he offered the child might prove enough to disobey Danzou.
[Setting: Root sub-department division corridors]
Narrator: Brimming outside light could be seen at the end of one of the division corridors.
Child: (In thought) What awaits me out there?
Narrator: Closer and closer did the light gleam from the outside as if hope and despair simultaneously lied just beyond the exterior. Nearing the end of the path, he dropped to the floor and landed on his feet. First glance reveals what appeared to be an open training field. His slight smile broke and he grew tense as there was no sign of any children, villagers, nobody. He knew that in no time would there be one of those men ready to take him back for most likely his death sentence. All the child desired was for at least one child to be present for questions to be asked with no surveillance. That way he might have been able to make sense of this forced horrendous life. Yet, his cries for help went unanswered. Eyes close and the little hope held within his heart felt drained as well as anguish crept up from behind him. The thought of giving up had begun to flash his mind in that moment. Suddenly his eyes shoot open as he realized he had not yet been captured and maybe there was still a chance. Turning around he faced the corridor with no sign of life. He then decided to seize the opportunity and headed back the way he came. Remembering that there had been an intersected path somewhat midway kept him going.
Child: (In thought) I am close..
Narrator: Any glimmer of hope had been shot down as Kou could now be seen from the other end closing in.
Child: *gasp* No not yet, please not now
Narrator: His heart began to pound hard. He still raced for the opening in the center but Kou caught up. The child entered but had his arms contained by the Root ANBU. An uncontrollable struggle then broke between the two.

Setting Insight – Konohagakure forest revealed:
Narrator: Ryuuta spread himself through the surrounding area. It had been the location where the child was initially found. He carefully examined the ground, trees, etc. to the best of his abilities. Having scanned most of the vast arborous vicinity left only about a quarter unchecked. As he headed in that direction did he feel another presence nearby through the scattered insects he released out of his body earlier. His hand lowered behind his back and gripped firmly onto the guard of his blade.
Note:
Narrator: He stopped in his tracks and began to analyze the situation. Communication immediately began between the insect user and his insects. They were all commanded to locate the supposed intruder. Although, the shinobi saved him the trouble by coming out into the open of his own free will. Ryuuta realized that for this to occur could have only meant that he was confident in his skills as a ninja. The ANBU Root shinobi leaped backwards onto a tree branch as the other made his way to a nearby branch and they starred one another for a moment. Waiting to see who would have the audacity to attack first.
Character Insight – Unknown shinobi:
Ryuuta: (In thought) He seems to be a very formidable opponent and his eyes are covered
Ryuuta: (Continued in thought) He is a definite sensor..I wonder if he ever sensed my insects?
Ryuuta: (In thought) That headband symbol does not look familiar in the least…could it be that he is linked to this child and was sent here as backup or to locate him?
Narrator: The shady character’s headband displayed a symbol with a slash over it which could not be identified by Ryuuta as well as a mask that covered his entire face excluding his mouth. He tried not to stray too far away in thought as his opponent could strike at any time. Since a small distance existed, he felt that he might as well use it as an opening opportunity. This was also a chance to test his opponent. A barrage of kunai is hurled at the enemy. Ryuuta’s fighting style was mainly close-range therefore it would be sufficient for him to be as close as possible. The man stood his ground and allowed the launched kunai to transpire. The small blades passed clear through his body revealing numerous holes that released a smoke-like substance.
Character Insight revisted – Unknown shinobi:
Note: Kekkei Genkai translates to blood lineage limit.
Ryuuta: (In thought) I see…
Ryuuta: A smoke ninjutsu user...
Narrator: The smoke almost instantly reformed the bodily openings.
Jutsu Insight – Unknown shinobi:
Narrator: The enemy shinobi then shouts from another location.
Unknown Shinobi: Is that all you are capable of?!
Ryuuta: (In thought) Che…that was a clone and he used that as a diversion which means the rea-
Note: Bunshin translates to clone.
Narrator: A line of blood suddenly slides down from his mouth as he had been pierced through the side of his stomach by a jutsu the shinobi used. What penetrated, his arm was an axe-like form of smoke.
Jutsu Insight – Unknown shinobi:
Narrator: Although, after the strike was made what was exposed had been a gaping wound. However, Ryuuta’s body then dispersed into insects as it too was a clone.
Jutsu Insight – Ryuuta:
Note: Mushi translates to insect.
Unknown Shinobi: (In thought) Insect clone?
Unknown Shinobi: (Continued in thought) He is an insect user
Narrator: The man let out a sadistic laugh, then looked around in an attempt to search out Ryuuta’s hidden location.
[Setting: Root sub-department division corridors)
Narrator: The uncontainable child’s body began to illuminate a bright white light. It was so intense that Kou had to turn his face in the dangerous possibility of blindness. This type of light started to expand throughout the child. Kou had not the choice but to let go and backed off a couple feet away.
Kou: (In thought) I cannot let this get out of my control
Narrator: Kou prepared himself.
Fifth part will be released next week, same day, titled Forgotten (Look for it!).

Ichizoku roughly translates to family. Mushi translates to insect. Ninjutsu translates to ninja technique. Tantou is roughly translated to short sword and is a commonly single or double-edged knife or dagger. The blade usually contains a length of about six to twelve inches. In this case, Ryuuta’s Tantou has a resemblance more to that of a knife.
