A Hero's Tale
~-~ 20 Years Post-Amtasu Kami (Or, what I'm calling it from now on, PAK) ~-~
A young boy, particularly frail and weak, farms crops in the fields "Just another day, as always" He would say to himself, frustrated. "Lord Madara and Lord Blackbeard need crops, they'll get them alright". The boy would continue to farm as an ear-wrenching scream blares from far away, as he dropped everything and began to run toward it. There are screams of terror every day, he's used to it, but, this one, wasn't some random nobody from the town who stole some bread, it was his caretaker, only known to him as the Sister of Life. The boy was unusually fast, with his long legs and athletic frame, arriving at the location of the frames, the town square, in only minutes, when it normally would take hours. In the center of the town, he would see The Sister, being entirely ignored, surrounded by guards. With blistering pace, he would sprint through the crowds and between the pirates, attempting to help the sister up. "
D-Deo, you came for me!"
"I wasn't going to let you die without attempting to help"
"Leave me here, please"
"What? No!"
"They're far too strong for even your brothers to handle, If I die, I'm the only one who will"
Almost as soon as he helped her up, both were kicked to the floor.
"Two perps instead of one, perfect." boomed the guard captain. Even when Deo stands up, the man towers above him. 20 swords would be inches away from there heads, one wrong move means death for both of them.
"This woman evaded us for years, refusing to let us on her property, refusing to have her children enlisted. And this child tried to break a criminal free. I sentence her to a swift death, this is a warning for the boy." Deo would scream in agony as he was pulled away and forced to watch as The Sister would be held in place, a blade being slowly shoved through her heart. In a matter of seconds, her life would be done. The guards would walk toward him, with a stern look on there face. "Now, run away, boy, before I change my mind," says the captain.
Instead of running, Deo would hold his ground. He may be weak, he may be young, but he isn't a coward. "I won't let you push us around like this anymore! I don't care if I lose my life here, at least I'd do something with it!" He would boldly state, raising his fists into a fighting stance. "
Oh, foolish, foolish boy. We gave you a chance"
A shining blade would be swung, attempting to slash the boy directly down the chest. At the last second, he would evade the blow, moving slightly to the side. He never learned to fight, all he could do is doge until he can get a clean hit on the captain. The man would repeatedly swing, each one evaded by the skin of Deo's teeth, a fire was lit underneath the boy that wasn't going out any time soon. On the final swing, the captain overexerted himself, his blade now stuck on the floor. As quickly as he could, Deo would punch the man three times directly in the face, finishing it with a kick to the chest. The man would be knocked back, stumbling to his feet without a blade. "Alright then, boy, death it is." He would begin to weave his hands together in rapid succession,
Horse, Serpent, Ram, Monkey, Boar, Horse, Tiger
The captain would suck in air as he breathed with explosive force, a blazing heat coming out, slowly developing into a ball of fire.
"This is it, I'm dead," Deo thought, he can't dodge this even if he tried.
He would open his arms, planning to embrace death rather than run from it.
At the final second, instead of a blazing death, Deo would feel the ground shake like a tree sprouted beneath his feet. As the tree rose, Deo felt empowered, as if he couldn't be stopped again.
"Oh, my soldiers, my shinobi, my pirates, let this oy live. The fire I sense within him rivals that of my own.
Atop a tree directly behind his would be a figure, dressed in maroon armor. His long, spiky black hair was iconic, his dark, Edo Tensei eyes strike fear into the hearts of those who peer into them. For this man was Lord Madara Uchiha, one of the Three Kings of a planet only known as B3. He would have a menacing smirk upon his face,
"Don't be scared, boy, you are safe."
