Hokage's Room

Chapter Fifteen: Wondering Soul

                Kokoro was wondering for twelve days trying to find Nando when suddenly he bumps into a man “Oh sorry sir.” He looks and sees a man wearing his long black hair up in a ponytail. He had blue eyes that looked intelligent and strong. He wore a white shirt under a long black coat that had no sleeves. Over his forearms he wore iron protectors that were tied off by red leather straps. He wore long black baggy pants and had his shins protected by the same iron protectors on his forearms. He wore boots under the shin protectors that were dirt colored. On his back was strapped a musket.

“Oh don’t worry kid its nothing.” The man started to walk by him.

“Wait sir would you happen to know a man who goes by the name Nando. I was told to search for him and I haven’t been able to find him.”

The man stopped and faced away from Kokoro “Why are you searching for this man?” Nando had his right hand out reaching forward as a small black portal opened. He reached threw it and pulled out a revolver.

“I was told by master Delfino to find him and train under him so that I may one day save our planet and become a great hero.”

Nando put the gun away in his pocket and turned to Kokoro “Oh man I thought I was gonna have to kill you. Well I’m the man you’ve been searching for. The names Nando.” He extended his right hand.

Kokoro promptly shook his hand “Oh it’s so great to meet you Nando.” The two walked off towards a nearby village.

Two years later….

                Nando is watching Kokoro who’s standing in front of him about thirty feet away. Kokoro extends his hand like Nando did to retrieve his revolver and a small portal opens up. Kokoro puts his hand in and pulls out a long saber and the portal closes. “Excellent job Kokoro, it only took you two years to be able to open and close portals and even be able to use them to gather weapons.”

“Thank you for training me to be able to do this Master Nando and for training me in the use of lightning.” He bowed to him.

“Hey Kokoro come here I got something for you.” He opened a portal and reached in as Kokoro walked over to him. Nando pulled out a small handgun and handed it to Kokoro. The gun hand an engraving on the barrel that said light.

“Thank you Nando I will keep it safe.”

Nando smiled and then suddenly felt a chill go down his spine as the earth started to shake and the sky became black. Nando looked around when he heard a evil voice “So This is the child that I have just been missing over and over again. Well this time the boy won’t get away.”

Then suddenly from behind Kokoro Ankoku shot out of the woods dashing at him with a sword in hand.  Nando pulled out his revolver and kicked Kokoro to the ground and began to fire at Ankoku. Two of the bullets wised past Ankoku and he looked to see what that was “what sort of attack was that.” Then three bullets at once hit him one in his right shoulder another in his left rib cage and the final one hitting him in his right leg. He fell to the ground breathing hard from the pain “What in the world was that!?” Ankoku reached into the wounds and pulled out the lead pieces and crushed them in his hands.

Kokoro got up and saw Ankoku remembering that he was the one who had killed all his previous masters and destroyed his village. Rage built in him as he started to charge at the slightly wounded Ankoku. “You * Ill kill you for what you’ve done!”

“No Kokoro you don’t stand a chance. Run away!”

Kokoro stopped and looked at Nando “This thing killed so many people dear to me I cant let that go.”

“If you fight him now you’ll only die like the rest. If you flee now then you can become more powerful and fight back against him.”

“Yes run away.” Kokoro turned to Ankoku “Run away and let me find you. Cause you know well enough Ill find you and kill you like all the rest.”

Kokoro got enraged by this but turned and ran away. Ankoku got back up and started to chase him when he was sent flying by a kick from Nando to the chest. “This fight is between you and me Ankoku.”

Ankoku got up and looked to see where Kokoro was but he was now out of sight “* you Nando. Fine Ill kill you and then catch up with the boy.” Ankoku charged at Nando.
