The Koku Ten Tou clan was Nippon's (Japan's) most feared clan of Ninja. They were known for killing powerful government officials with ease. They were the best and no one dared offend them, except one of their own. Uhei was on of the elite five, the very best of the best. Hane was also one of the five. He remembered when he first met Uhei. He never liked him. Hane could always beat him at every drill and exercise and this made him feel good. He hated Uhei most for what happened with Yukina. Yukina was the very first person Hane had met who he could get along with. When he discovered that it was the fault of Uhei that Yukina was labeled Nukenin. It was Hane who was supposed to kill Uhei but a ninja called Oinin got the job. He became more furious when he came to the knowledge that Uhei had slain Yukina in the end. Disobeying all orders from his masters, Hane set out to find Uhei. He set out to end the life of his enemy. He wandered the county side for many years searching. He was a ninja that would take on the person with the highest bid as his master, for a task or two. Word spread of Hane and he became quite feared by most other ninja, samurai, politician and peasent. When he finally heard word about Uhei he rushed quickly to find him. Now it has become very apparent to him what his meaning in life is. He must slay Uhei. |
