| The third Hokage |
Office of the Hokage,
The third hokage sat in his office looking into his evana ball, watching Kane as he approached with three iron ninja.
"hmm.... Kane.. there is no surprise that you have come..", he said to no one, "but i did not expect this would happen so soon.."
He kept watching as Kane sent the three men in three directions and walked towards the office alone. He smiled knowing exactly what Kane was trying. soon he heard the chaos outside that was caused by the iron ninja to distract all the security ninjas. Kane walked freely making his way to the office. The door broke open but the hokage did not turn as he said, "welcome prince of fire.. how may i help you?"
The sound of a sharp metal sliding against metal ran through the room as Kane pulled out his katana sword and kept the sharp blade on the hokage's neck, "first of all, the answer that i wanted since a long time, why do you hide in the hidden leaf?"
The Hokage couldn't help smiling. He couldn't make out if it was over-confidence, foolishness, or an attempt to feel powerful that made Kane visit the most powerful ninja of the land of Fire in such a way, "i have always failed to understand your father and it seems....", The old man said, "you are just as unpredictable ....."
"Answer me!," Kane snapped back showcasing his fearlessness while in his full knowledge he knew even though old, the hokage was still pretty much unbeatable.
"It is a long story my child.....", he replied, "it was a long time ago... your father had just come back after plundering the land of life.... and he was furious for he couldn't get the princess who was just a newborn back then... i was always against the ways of your father, his lust for power, even before him, our kings took our land in the wrong direction... i have studied deeply how the land of fire, its people under the wrong guidance of the kings made their own laws, all their wrong desires were right to them... their lust for women and power just kept growing and as you can see, today, in the name of establishing peace by becoming the dominant world power, our people are all kings in other lands.. because they know the result of insulting any individual of the fire... this is tyranny Kane, not peace, and i have throughout my life tried to prevent this.. but why would anyone like the man who says they're wrong?"
As the hokage kept talking, Kane couldn't help loosing himself in his thoughts, his mind kept playing slideshows of images, burning houses, murdered people, crying children, women being dragged mercilessly.. "i have seen all those images in your books.. with my own eyes, and it is very disappointing to know our people take pride in it."
"get to the point..", Kane ordered.
The hokage smiled again at the young man," where was i... yes.. your father.. he was furious.. he was furious because he could not bring a baby girl who he wanted to use as another of his sex slaves when she grew up.. it was a disgusting thought to even touch a woman so young to yourself with lustful hands... and i tried to convey the same to him, so he would forget the girl..but he was sick of my constant opposition through the years of his Kingship i think, and he attempted to kill me.. i managed to escape but my family..... was not so lucky. they were murdered. Your father was powerful, as a ninja and as a King, i was no match. So with a stone upon my heart, i got over my loss, my family, and decided to stop worrying about this world anymore where nobody cared for me.. it was useless being right among a crowd of wrong, and i disappeared into the hidden leaf, and as i tell you this now, i am curious to know how did you find me? and the hidden leaf?"
Kane smirked, "With your evana ball being used so much, Dranzer can easily sense the energy... not to mention, the third hokage is the only one to have used his ninjutsu to create the evana ball...this is my second time to the leaf, and probably last."
The hokage couldn't help being impressed, this boy had the legendary Phoenix of Fire under his control..."that is impressive, now if you can stop pretending you're not afraid, i would like to take this.."
"huh?" Kane was surprised when he realized his sword had been so smoothly pulled out already from his hand and now it was upon his neck, in the hands of the old man standing behind him... his eyes couldn't believe the hokage was not in front of them anymore as they went wide in disbelief, "how did you....??"
"i am now the most powerful fire ninja ever Kane... you did know it didn't you?", the Hokage asked as he closed the distance between him and Kane's back, sliding the sword to the frot of his neck.
"the most powerful... heh.. not for long.." Kane said in a voice as cold-hearted as ever,"tell me why Brooklyn killed my clan and family."
"are you in a questioning position here my child?", the hokage chuckled lightly but was replied with silence, "ok... i'll tell you... i do not know.."
"why don't you? you are the wisest and the most knowledgeable living ninja in the fire.. you have to know!", Kane screamed.
"you have a sword over your neck, and you demand like the neck is mine...", the hokage smiled, "i do not know if i should be impressed, call you brave or foolish.. you confuse me since the moment i saw you in my evana ball... neither the wisest man of fire understands you Kane, neither he knows about your brother and his problems"
"uaAARGH!!" the hokage screamed and stepped back leaving the sword which Kane quickly grabbed again, he turned back to see his kunai knife firmly stuck into the old man's thigh, "powerful but old... rmember the book you wrote, 'path of the ninja'?"
"ugh.. y.. argh,, yes,"the hokage replied groaning in pain as he tried to pull out the thick but sharp knife.
"then you must not forget your own writings," Kane walked to the door and turned back to look at the hurt man, "never get too over confident..."
Having shown his unpredictability and impressive ninja talent, Kane ran away as fast as he could disappearing into the dark corridor.
Soon the informer of the hokage arrived, "oh my god! Lord Hokage!"
he ran to the silver haired man and helped him to a seat, "i'll bring help!"
"No!... i am fine.. a little knife can't do much.. why are you here?",asked the hokage.
"My lord, we have captured the three ninjas that were attacking people around the office, they are from the land of iron"
"good...argh...let them go with a warning...they've been used", the hokage struggled with the knife wondering what kind of a kunai it was that caused so much pain.
"leave them??", the informer asked surprised.
"yes.. do not question... blind fold them and let them loose in the jungle", he ordered again and the informer left.
The old man groaned again as he finally pulled out the kunai, panting, he muttered under his breath, "Kane.........."
King's Palace,
Land of Life,
"i think they know that Kane has been working against them for a while now.. i can't imagine what would have happened had they caught me...", Scarlet expressed he thoughts sadly to the Suchikage as she sat on the Cathedra of the Queen of Life, which was left vacant since the death of her mother.
"hmm... this isn't good.", the Suchikage said appearing to be in a deep thought, " If they know you're here it will be even bad than it is now."
"let it be Lord Suchikage.. it is now or never.. we will talk out with other lands and reduced cities to join forces with us and fight back.," the girl draped in black said immediately with a firmness.
"why would they fight with us Sunaina?", Shikamaru raised a questioning eyebrow,"because OUR princess is in danger?"
Scarlet interrupted the conversation,"Shikamaru is right, nobody will help us.. even if they do, we still have pretty less chances.. i shouldn't have come here.."
"no.. no my dear... where else would you go? after all this is your home.. ", the Suchikage smiled, "we will find a way.. i am calling a meeting of all the top officials...you go and have some rest. we will talk later. where is the Phoenix?"
"it went back to find Kane..", she replied as she rose from the throne.
The princess was taken into her mother's chamber, the Queen's chamber, while the others sat back trying to think of something.
Sitting back in her comfy bed, Scarlet wondered how her life was turning and where would it go, what was Kane up to?
She heard the sound of a rumbling cape behind her from the window, which was so familiar and she knew was not of the curtains, she didn't had to look and she knew Kane was here. Her heart skipped a beat and her tensed face glowed with a soft smile as she felt his warmth behind her as he got closer, his strong arms slowly wrapped around her slender waist and she was pulled back against him. She let her body fall back into his arms, leaning her head to one side making way for Kane's lips to fall on her neck and love her skin. Kane softly kissed her neck pouring his love on her skin that loved being burnt by it.
She moaned softly, "oh Kane...", and breathed deep.
"i am glad to see you're fine," he whispered into her year and planted another kiss below her ear making her body jerk backwards into him. Scarlet breathed deeply again as she spoke, "you knew they were going to come after us?"
She felt his lips slide up her neck and then his face pressed into her cheek,"yes", was all he said. She turned to face him feeling such a sudden eruption of love from her heart like lava erupts from a volcano, "promise me we'll be together my love", she said before her lips found his and they shared their immense love for each other... a promise was made in the kiss, that not even the air around could sense, only the two united souls did.
