Byakko Tiger God
Chapter One- The Orgins of the Green Haired Boy
Far to the West lies a Large Tropical Island. Few of the ninja world Have made civilization here. On the Coast Lay barren Stretches of land as a result of the Islands Volcanic Activity. Here many Attempts at a village have been made for the islands many bounty. But in the jungle were many spirits of the animals that had lived there. The Tiger Clan Had Claimed a large part of forest. Made up of humans and Tigers. Their Leader was the great Tiger God Byakko. A beautiful White tiger and King to all Beasts. When the first city came they started cutting down trees and were advancing more and more. They would start hunting for food and started poaching tigers for fur. This Angered Byakko and he made the volcano erupt and burn the village down. The Humans rebuilt and continued to be a problem for the spirits. Byakko contemplated about how to deal with the humans, They just kept coming back in greater numbers and armed with fire and steel. He then devised a plan to steal their children. He built a small tribe of savage humans that worked with their tiger companions to sabotaged the villages that they had made. These humans grew to respect nature and live in harmony with the land. They were quick, stealthy and took out whole battalions of men that dared entered the sacred forest. They were feared and soon the humans learned their lesson and stopped poaching and lumbering The Island became full of many small forts. They lived off the land and nothing else. The big lumber companies left and the island was just a small fishing port now.

One night a huntress was on her night prowl threw the forest. Beke and her tiger companion Maka liked to hunt for fish at night on the coast. She stood on an outstretched tree limb overlooking the vast ocean before her. The Moon And stars reflecting on its surface. She took a deep breathe of the salty air and turned to Maka. “What a great night for fishing hey maka.” Maka rubbed its head under her arms and began to purr. “lets go get you some fish.” Maka’s ears began to twicth and she began to growl. “what is it” ask’s Beke. Then She see’s a flash and hears cannon fire. Down the coast she can see a ship approaching closer. It is a Passenger ship and it was being followed by a shinobi war ship. It started firing cannons at the other. A group of shinobi rush off the boat being attacked and into the forest. The Attacking boat resumes fire and a group of them also pursue the other ninja. The passenger boat is hit comes closer to the shore in flames right Below Beke. “Those were shinobi? What are they doing here? Byakko told us there was a war across the sea? What brings them Here.” She noticed that Maka was still looking down at the burning wreck below them. She then heard why. The sound of a crying baby was coming from inside the ship. She gasped, “It had children in it? why did they attack? Stay here Maka.” She Leapt of the limb and dove into the sea below. She swam to the sinking burning boat and entered threw a hole that was made from the hit. No one else had survived dead bodies floated around here. She followed the cries to a floating Basket. The Mother Had Died protecting her Child From falling debris . Beke Grabs the Child And Swims To safety. The Ship sinks beneath The water and Beke Holds the baby in her arms. It is a green haired boy and Maka comes down and begins to follow as she Returns to the Village. On her Way back she comes across a group of dead shinobi. She notices something shiny in one of the bodies hands. She picks it up and opens it. Its a music box with a picture of a family inside playing a lullaby. Beke recognizes the women as the mother of the child and sees her holding him in the picture. “This must have been your father.” She looks at the baby who has fallen asleep calmed by the melody in her arms peacefully. She keeps the Box and continues to walk back to her village.
She Presents the Child to Byakko back at the Village, all the members gather as He steps up to inspect the child. The Baby does not Cry at the sight of the White tiger god, and Byakko sniffs taking in a huge amount of air in, the Child laughs as he feels the air rush around him and he stretches out his hands to touch The great tigers fur. “Hmm, this child is blessed with the gift of strong chakra. You say his father was a shinobi? Very Interesting, this one will become a very powerful member of this tribe, And who better to raise him then You Beke. You will become his mother because fate has taken his. His name shall be Kiyoshi” Beke Holds the baby up and smiles. “As you wish Master Byakko.” And so she does, she raises the boy and he grows and soon becomes old enough to train.

Chapter 2 Kiyoshi the Nature Boy
Kiyoshi is 13 years old and is silently stalking a wild boar in the depths of the jungle, He is accompanied by his own tiger companion. Nagra, A light blue tiger, decedent of Byakko, who has the ability to talk. He is the same age as Kiyoshi and can do transformations and simple genjutu’s and ninjutsu’s. Kiyoshi Follows Silently in Nagra’s shadow, He stops and lowers himself and Kiyoshi mimics. Nagra looks back To Kiyoshi and Holds up his paw. He flexes it twice and Kiyoshi nods his head and Starts crawling closer to the boar. Nagra jumps up into the Canopy in an instant. The boar Lifts its head from grazing and the wind rustles threw the Forrest. it continues to eat and Kiyoshi Gets even closer. He is about 7 yards away and he see’s Nagra Drop down Silently On the opposite side of the boar. He waits for the signal and the boar starts getting closer to Kiyoshi. Nagra sticks its tail Up straight in the air and Kiyoshi charges out with his spear at the Boar, Yelling at the top of his lungs. The boar Runs away From him Right Towards Nagra, who leaps out Clawing at the Boar. Deciding that it stands a better chance against Kiyoshi It turns and Charges at him With his Tusks in front squealing a high pitched war cry. Kiyoshi Readies himself and times his strike. At the very last moment He jumps And flips over the Boar stabbing with his spear in the mid air while is his upside Down. He leaves the Spear in and Completes his Jump landing on his feet. The Boar charges a little more before stumbling over dead. Nagra and Kiyoshi walk up to their kill and examine it. “That’s a pretty big boar, and you had a perfect strike, right threw the heart.” said Nagra. “Mother Beke taught me that, when we kill to make it as quick and painless as possible because we kill only to survive. And if we kill for any other reason then it is a sin.” replied Kiyoshi. Nagra, smiled, “well this boar is huge, we shall have a feast tonight thanks to you Kiyoshi, you have officially become a Hunter!” Nagra Rubs Its Head Under his Hands. Kiyoshi Laughs and begans to scratch the top of his head. “well I couldn’t have done it without you Nagra. Now You get to do the heavy lifting.” He Lifts Up the Boar and Places in on Nagra’s back And the two of them returned to the village.

The Hunters and Huntresses all gather around The fire pit, Conversing and Congratulating Kiyoshi. “Here’s to the Newest Man in the Tribe. Kiyoshi!” the men and women cheer and the tigers roar. They began to pass bowls of rice and Boar meat. Beke walks up Behind Kiyoshi and places her hand on his head. He smiles and looks up. “well Done Kiyoshi, I never doubted you for a second.” “And that’s why I didn’t fail Mom, because I had so many people believing in me, and My first kill was just how you said, quick and painless. One strike.” Beamed Kiyoshi with a smile on his face. “So it didn’t get lost in that big head of yours” she ruffled his hair a bit. “Thats good. Now you are an important member of the Tribe. You hunt so we can eat and fight to protect our land. You and Nagra from now on. you can explore the jungle, but stay safe, and never venture outside the forest, Do not be seen by any outsiders, and if you have to defend yourself you do it with your transformation, got it?” “Yes Mom” replied Kiyoshi. She leaned down and kissed him on the forehead. Nagra was licking his bones and waits for Beke to leave before he speaks. “Hey Kiyoshi, Since we just became hunters, how about we go out exploring tomorrow, We can go anywhere.” kiyoshi smiled and looked up to the stars, “Any where in the forest.” Naga looks up at him, “whats that suppose to mean.” “We can go anywhere just not outside the Jungle. I’ve never seen what’s beyond it. Why can’t we go there?” 
“Because Kiyoshi, its the rules of this tribe, we are not to interact with outsiders, and they can’t come into our part of the jungle, You can not be seen or they will kill you because they think your savage.” Kiyoshi see’s a shooting star. “well we won’t go past the bonduries, I just wanna see is all. I want to know why they are different from us, I want to know many things.” Nagra looks up at the stars as well. “Be carful what you wish for kiyoshi you just might get it.”

Chapter 3 Kiyoshi gets his wish
Kiyoshi Was friends to many creatures in the forest. He had learned a great many things from each of them. The Great Ape Tribe taught him of releasing Chakra threw the body. Threw intense training Kiyoshi molded his body and could exert chakra to his arms and Legs to make him stronger or faster. The Jaguars Taught him to run up the trees and use the environment to your advantage. His favorite technique was when He was taught to do transformations, He could run wild with his animal friends threw the canopy's. Now that He was a Hunter He wanted to go further then he had before. He wanted to see the outsiders for himself and wanted to understand them. Early the Next Mourning Nagra and Kiyoshi leave to explore the forest and hunt boars. The Boars were a large clan but greedy. If left alone their clans would outnumber the humans tigers, and apes combined. Their numbers were kept down with hunting. Packs of the large boars attack farming lands outside the forests but mostly kept away. They were as much of a menace to the human villages as they were to the other animals.

After A long journey lasting into the early afternoon, Kiyoshi Climbs a tall tree a few yards from a clearing, The boundaries of the forest. Nagra lay upside down on a limb above him. “We shouldn’t linger here too long Kiyoshi, See what you want and lets leave.” Kiyoshi stared at the small farming village ahead of him. Something caught kiyoshi’s attention and Nagra’s ears flicked to the sound as well. It was a familiar melody to Kiyoshi and he was entranced by it. He climb down the tree and got closer to the noise. He peered threw the leaves and could see a beautiful girl humming a melody picking flowers in the clearing. She was on the outskirts of the village outside its walls. She Had a basket full of flowers and Her blonde hair shimmered like gold in the sun. Kiyoshi was lost, he had never seen anything so beautiful. Nagra gave a sigh, “Oh boy, come on lover boy don’t get any ideas.” Kiyoshi Snapped out of his stare and looked to Nagra, “Oh please, I just feel like I know that song. Like I’ve Heard it Before?” “Come on kiyoshi, I thought I saw some boar Tracks back that way.” Kiyoshi hears a stick break and and leaves being rustled, something was running out of the Forest. Kiyoshi looks at the forest floor and sees a large boar charging out of the forest heading straight for The girl. Kiyoshi Jumps up from the trees and races towards her. Nagra yells to him, “Wait Kiyoshi, You can’t Be seen!” Kiyoshi makes a sigh with his hands and transforms into a large white tiger. The Girl looks up at the noise ahead of her, She sees the crazed boar running out of the forest in front of her, with arrows in its side. The Boar Squeals loudly and Stampedes towards her. She Screams and turns to Run and freezes in fear as Kiyoshi lands in front of her. She is terrified of him and He leap's over her and attacks the Boar. The Boar Thrusts its tusks at him and Kiyoshi avoids Them And Claws its back legs. The Boar Falls over and He goes in for the kill, Bitting Down On the Neck and suffocating It. The boar lays motionless and Kiyoshi turns to the girl. She is no longer afraid of him. She Starts walking closer to him and Kiyoshi walks towards her. She gets closer to him and Suddenly an arrow hits him in the shoulder. Kiyoshi Gives out a painful Roar. Some of the villagers have come hearing The girls screams. They Attack kiyoshi thinking he is trying to eat the girl. Nagra leaps down at his side and gives a great roar towards the archers. The force knocks them down and He stands in front of Kiyoshi. The Girl Screams at the Archers who get back up and take aim. “Wait, The tiger saved me from a boar! It didn’t try and eat me.” THe archers pause as they looked at the dead boar. The girl looks back to kiyoshi, who being injured and Bleeding transforms back into his true form. The girl gasps, “It’s not a tiger, Its a boy!” Kiyoshi hops on Nagra’s back and they take off into the Forest. Kiyoshi turns once more to the girl before disappearing into the jungle. “Kiyoshi, are you ok?” Nagra asked.
“It’s not that bad Nagra, I’ll be fine.” Nagra sighed, “What you did was stupid and reckless, you could have gotten killed.” “What was I suppose to do let her get trampled.” “We weren’t suppose to be there Kiyoshi and worse yet you were seen, we just broke 2 rules. And how am I going to explain that wound to your mother.” Kiyoshi was rubbing something on his wound. “What are you talking about?” Kiyoshi had spread a herbal cream on his wound and it healed itself. “I wan’t going to leave unprepared Nagra, It’s probably better if we don’t mention this to anyone. Ok Nagra.” Nagra sighed again, “Ok, Kiyoshi, but only because my ass would get chewed out as much as yours if I told her.” Kiyoshi looked Back Towards the girl who was far off now. The Melody still was stuck in his head. He had to find out why. He planned on returning later that night alone so he could speak with the girl and find out where she heard it.
