(WARNING! THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING:

-  Violence

The trip was sure going to be long. I wanted to be as far as the capital of the swordsmen because of all the daily attacks and everything, but at the same time, there was no real good spot other than where our capital was. I was precisely looking for a place with plains near a forest to escape from potential attacks, but all I could see was trees, trees and trees again… Yeah, it’s going to take a while to find the perfect spot for our village, but I didn’t care much about how long the trip is going to take. All I wanted was to smell the incredible and fresh air of our forest. The flowers, the leaves, the beautiful sound of the birds singing… I could stay forever in this paradise. It felt like we were in heaven. Suddenly, another odor was starting to spread in my nose. This smell was weird… This wasn’t the smell of common nature… This was the smell of… BURNED WOOD! I calmly dropped Fred on the ground and climbed up the gigantic tree at my right. When I was at the top, I noticed two gigantic spots of smoke coming up to the sky. If my coordination is correct… Oh no… Those are two spots I know too well… The capital and my dojo… Don’t tell me that the ninjas have declared war on us and are currently destroying everything we have… IT’S THE LAST VILLAGE OF THE SWORDSMEN, I NEED TO ACT QUICK! When I dropped off the tree, I realized that Fred wasn’t there anymore. I looked everywhere, until I saw a group of 4 ninjas coming out of the shadow of the tree. I could clearly see them since it was a full moon. One of them was holding Fred by the neck with one of his hands, with his other holding a katana aiming directly at Fred’s torso. I wasn’t careful enough… I then started to get scared when I looked at the shoulder of the one who was holding Fred. A captain… He had the sign of a captain in the ninja army… My sensei once fighted one of them and was close to death. Those ninjas are monsters… I needed to run, but I couldn’t abandon Fred… All of those events made me feel like I was blocked by a gigantic and indestructible wall. My emotions were mixing together inside of my stomach. Anger, fear… All of these emotions made me accidently activate my swordsman mark, the mark that I was trying to master 2 days ago but wasn’t able to. The captain then provoked me:

“Try anything and we will keep the baby. I mean, our boss said that we could bring the baby alive or dead, but preferably dead since he is going to be trouble, am I right? You know like us that this baby is a demon from the royal family. We also don’t know exactly who exactly, but we are guessing that he is…”

He didn’t even have the time to finish his sentence that he probably saw his surroundings spinning. I slashed his head off with my katana. Then, mid air, I took back who was mine, Fred. 

“Shut… The fuck up. He is mine and I am going to protect him, no matter what. I’m going to kill everyone of you if it’s to restore peace in this world that you are destroying, little by little. Be careful of what you are doing, or else you may never see your capital ever again like you are currently doing to ours.”

I then slashed off two other ninjas before facing the last one. He felt on the ground, scared more than ever. 

“I am going to spare your life, because I want you to deliver one message…”

I took a break before continuing: 

“Ninjas shall never approach me or Fred, or else they are never going to see the light of the sun ever again in their shitty life. Everyone of you shall die if one of you tries to get near us.  Am I clear?”

He acquiesced before running away. I then remembered what was going on, so I rushed at the speed of light to my dojo. 

Arriving at the location, I was more shocked than ever. My sensei was agonizing on the floor, crushed by the burning building. I thought that my emotions couldn’t be worse before, but now I don't want to only crush every single one of them… I want to crush, torture every villain, every human being that are doing crimes in this world. So that’s what war is… I thought that the after war when I was borned was an atrocity, but seeing this… Assisting in a second war in question… Is way worse than what comes after the first… I shall save this world, no matter what, if it’s by helping everyone or killing anyone who stands in my way. Every villain shall understand the pain that they are making, and I’m going to be the one to make them suffer.
