I slowly opened my eyes, my face was in pain, so was my entire body. I opened my eyes to blackness, what is this.

I slowly rose up, my face was on the ground, on the dirt. It hurt to look around, but I kept doing it.

It was only tree's, just like before when I helped that Ninja.

My balance was really bad, I could barely keep still.

Every step I took was unbalanced and heavy, it felt like I was gonna fall every step.

It was day time, I could hear the birds twittering. I could hear water flowing not too long away.

I could hear, faintly, a bunch of people. They were screaming something, at the same time.

I should...

No.

I can't trust them, I have to help myself.

I could feel my right leg not working, I kept dragging it. I couldn't lift it up.

I looked down at my stomach.

The hole, it's noticeable, but not as big as it was before.

I saw some kind of paper, a flier.

It landed in front of me.

I slowly bent down to pick it up, it hurt a lot.

I looked at it.

A wanted man, I looked at the picture.

It was..

Me?!

I'm wanted for, 250.000 thomes. (5.000$)

But, what did I do?

I could feel myself sweating, my body became hot in no time.

I quickly threw away the paper, and kept walking.

I had no idea where I was, but I kept walking until I could find anything, food, water, anything to keep me alive.

But I could feel my leg shaking.

I can't keep..

Walki..

I felt my eyes blacking out.

...

. . .

I could hear noise.

I slowly opened my eyes.

I was in a..

Room.

Someone had found me.

I could hear people screaming, as if they were attacking.

"HAA!"

"KYA!"

I rose up.

"Oh no, keep resting well my son" I heard.

I looked around, just by the entrance I saw a man.

He had pulled back hair, a long but thin beard.

His outfit was long, like a martial artist's.

His pants were black and big.

"I saw that you had passed out in the forest when I was collecting mushrooms"

"You have a powerful looking sword son, please, be my guest and train at my masters dojo" he asked.

...

I only have one task right now.

I have to find the Ninja.

I have to find out who that drunk guy was.

"You were damaged too, so I took out extra clothes for you to put on".

I looked to my right, it was a chair, on it were the clothes.

I looked back at him, he was smiling.

I looked at my hand, it was bandaged.

"I took the time to treat your wounds, your clothes were severely damaged as well, even though you only have pants" he said.

"Thank you.." I said quietly.

"Oh well, I have to go and continue the training for the other students, I'll be back soon" he said and walked out.

He closed the door behind me.

The room had one window, as it was pretty small.

I noticed my sword were on the ground of the room, I felt relieved.

I rose up and changed into the clothes he had given me. They were just the right size.

As soon as I was done I went back to the bed and layed down.

After some time someone opened the door, I was still awake.

It was a girl.

"I was ordered to give food to you" she said and gave me a plate of what looked like buns.

She walked out and closed the doors behind her.

I took a bite out of one, there was meat inside.

I ate all of them and put the plate on the chair.

I went out to reach my sword, that's when someone opened the door.

He quickly closed the door behind him.

"Already leaving?" he said.

I looked up, it was the one who saved me.

"Train with us, we can make you a powerful warrior!" he said with a smile.

He took my hand and guided me.

We walked to a closed area surrounded by the building.

In front of me were 50..

No. more than 100 people.
