ACT ONE
CHAPTER ONE
This is the story about a gutsy shinobi who protected his village with all his might. His name was...well...I'm not at the liberty to say that now. But this shinobi was on a quest. To become a shinobi the youth of his village can look up to and depend apon. This is his story.
CHING!
That was the sound of two kunai clashing. Our hero was battling someone.
"Give up yet," asked the unknown shinobi, throwing three shuriken.
"Never," replied our hero, also throwing shuriken.
CLANG!
This shinobi, our hero thought, He's strong. He pulled a katana out of a sash on his belt. He ran for the other shinobi. That shinobi did the same thing.
CHING!
Our hero jumped backwards and threw down a smoke bomb. It exploded as he rushed forwards.
Ching! Clang! Chink!
Our hero found himself on the ground. He tried to get up. The other shinobi kicked our hero down. He pulled a kunai out of his sleeve.
"I have one last thing to say," said our hero.
The shinobi pulled him off the ground and rammed the kunai into our hero's heart. "I'm not interested in what you have to say!"
"Give up..." our hero dissappeared in a cloud of smoke and appeared behind the shinobi, "trying to make me give up." Our hero swatted the shinobi hin the back of the head to where he rammed into a tree.
"Ugh..." the shinobi said, "Even if you take me out, another assassin will just come to attack your village. Heh heh heh... As long as we live in this cursed shinobi world... there will never be peace..."
"In that case," our hero said, "I'll break that curse. If there is such a thing as peace, I will find it. I'm not giving up."
"Wh-Who are you?" asked the shinobi.
"My name is Xero," said our hero.

Chapter 2
XERO'S PROFILE
Xero is a shinobi in training. He's 13 and plans on being someone his village can look up to. He has red hair, blue eyes, and likes to eat curry alot. His mother and father dissappeared long ago, yet no one knows why.
Xero met up with that shinobi along a mountain path. He just started on a mission when that shinobi was going towards his village. So Xero asked him why he was going there and the shinobi attacked him! He never found out why the shinobi was going there but he found out one thing. The Village of Wind was planning on war with his village! That and he still left his mission uncompleted.
"I'm dead when I get there!" excaimed Xero, "The councilers don't like waiting at all!" He pressed on faster, hopping from tree to tree. He could see the council building ahead when he lost focus and slipped from a tree, landing face first in the dirt. "Eww! Dirt up my nose!!!"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------X----------------------------------------------------------------------
A young girl, new to the council, was waiting for Xero was looking out the window when she saw Xero fall from the tree.
"Oh dear!" she cried, "I hope that shinobi is alright!"
"Him? Bah! Xero is always reckless!" said another council member.
The girl looked back out the window. Xero, huh?
Xero came into the door. "Sorry I'm late!" he said, "I was fighting a shinobi and then... well..." he looked at the dirt stains on his vest.
"Hi," said the girl, "My name's Kym. You're my escort, right?"
Xero looked at Kym and froze, his heart pounding. The girl had long brown hair, green eyes, and was holding a book titled: How to be a council member.
"Umm..." said Xero, sweating, "Yeah."
"Come on!" said Kym, grabbing Xero's hand and dragging him out the door, "Let's go!"
Xero just did nothing.
