#002 ? The fish and the bait
The boy continues to shout out across to the villain, ?what are you?re reasons for this murder? Explain to me!??
The man replies in quick response ?I have no intention on telling you a single word, if you feel as if you need to beat it out of me, well be my guest!?
Exchanging words, the boy follows on ?I shall break every bone in you?re body, old man!?
The boy and the man look at each other, the rookie ninja seemingly helpless and resists to confront the man dressed in clean white robes.
?Just as I thought, all talk; no action, this will of fire motto doesn?t see the day of light when it comes down to it?
The man slowly pauses as he looks fairly intrigued.
?you interest me, how old are you?? the man questioned to the konoha ninja.
The Young ninja slowly answers ?Me? I?m sixteen?
Immediately replied by the man ?and still a wannabe hero? Pitiful?
The mysterious man picks up his sword and carries it along his back as he walks away from the scene.
The boy shouts out ?Who are you? How old are you??
The man shouts across, back to the young ninja ?I?m twenty three, Call me Gats cause everyone else does?
The boy, now curious replies back ?Who?s ?Everyone else???
The man digs his sword into the ground, scarring a trail in the earth and continues to walk the path he follows and again, shouts across ?Follow the trail and you will find out?
The boy follows the mysterious yet interesting man.
Gats continues to walk slowly, toward the destination which is now in sight, the boy follows only a few yards away.
He reaches his target, a large plateau with five holes with oddly shaped slots, Gats holds up his overwhelming sword and inserts it into the slot which perfectly fits his swords blade.
At a sudden, the earth on the plateau starts to descend, revealing a dark path.
He then slowly looks back to the kid and says to him ?Follow me, don?t be scared?
They continue down the darkened pathway, reaching an open space where a shadow of a figure is somewhat distant from they?re situated spot
An Echoing voice is heard ?Everything went to plan?"
Gats replied to the mysterious voice ?Yeah, everything apart from one hitch?
The echoing voice returns ?Meaning what??
Gats turns around slightly to look back at the kid and continues speaking ?This guy over here?
The mysterious figure reveals himself, dressed in a similar robe to what Gats fashions, except with a blue lining than a red one shown on Gats
?So, who is he then?? The newly revealed man asks Gats
?You know what, he never introduced himself? Gats replied to the man
The boy continues Gats statement by adding on with ?I?m Flo, From Konoha?
Devlin then follows up with ?Nice to meet you?
Gats speaks to Devlin.
?Where is everyone else then?"
Devlin Replies ?Round the back?
Gats then continues to walk, targeting an opening which leads to another dark alleyway of rock, with Devlin and Flo following closely behind him.
They go forward; a blinding light engulfs the former darkness of the pathway.
