Musical theme: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-tTmSY4m4M

 It was a very calm noon that Satoshi has left his village in order to travel to Aokusa. After reaching the area, he went to a small traditional building where feudal lords would rest for the meeting with the feudal lord of his area in order to discuss the matter. 
He had his regular clothing on himself. A smooth black robe with a white belt, which held his two katanas with Nara seals on them, and a white scarf on it. He also had his regular sandals supporting him. He had his Kusagakure headband attached to his fishnet shirt, beneath his robe and scarf, which would not be seen.

 Satoshi calmly knocked on the door and waited for a respond. A voice could be heard;
''Who are you and why are you here?'' The voice would be very tough and emotionless.
Satoshi would sigh and begin speaking; ''I'm coming from the Kusagakure. There is a certain mission I have to discuss with the daimyo.'' The door would be opened then. The owner of the voice was a really tall and muscular looking guy in a rather very calm clothing just like Satoshi. The person seemed to have a huge axe with broken stains on it. He pointed the daimyo at Satoshi then went back to his seat next to the door.

 '' I Thought you would be way earlier than this... Nara kid. Making late impressions isn't a good thing for a shinobi, you should know it better than I do right?.'' The daimyo would speak with a rather sarcastic and even almost friendly way. Satoshi would gently nod and daimyo would continue to speak; '' I'm not the one to believe in ghosts or another paranormal activies that has no explanations. But I believe in power of souls. I've seen many warriors and shinobis who had religious powers. But I dont think this is one of those situations. You know the issue, there is a house which was told to be haunted by the villages. And lately people of wealth and statue are getting killed by the events of the house and these deaths or the house gets no explanations. All I know about the house is that, there used to be a samurai living there and he killed himself after failing to finish his mission, but the night he was killed his corpse wasn't found at all. But, this is just a story told by the villagers. I dont think you should take it serious. Thats all, Nara genin. Good luck on your mission. Your payment will be done by your Kusakage.'' Then he would begin to laugh in a mocking way.

 Satoshi would again nod without any words and would calmly leave the place with his hands in his pockets. After leaving the place, would light a cigarette and begin his walk towards the haunted building as the day was beginning to end.

Day 2:

Satoshi went to sleep in a traditional ryokan after locating the house. He had spend the night in the japanese inn. Before he would go to his room to sleep, an half-drunken person would reach at him and would rudely hold Satoshi by the shoulder; '' You don't look from here, purple headed boyy?! Are you a shinnnobi?  Orr are you the ghost killer?!'' Satoshi would sigh, as this drunken man would remind him of his uncle. He would push away the person and speak without making an eye contact; ''Im a shinobi.'' Then he would walk by the stairs. He would hear the same person yelling; '' Listenn to my advice, young boy! The samurai is alive and even stronger as a ghost.''. Satoshi would raise a brow at the person's words, then he would continue his way to his room and would have a good sleep.

 He left the ryokan right after his sleep, without having anything to eat..He found himself an empty grassy spot and began meditating. He meditated for a few hours with a full focus. After he was satisfied with the day's meditating, he left the area and investigated the people who were killed. three people were killed. Hitori Uzuki, Shinsuke Ryu, Haku Ryan. Satoshi found their houses and inspected them. They all seemed to be important people of the village. Hitori Uzuki was known to be the daimyo's right hand and Shinsuke Ryu was the left hand. Haku Ryan was just a man of wealth. He met Haku's widow Miri and they engaged in a conversation about the matter; '' My husband done no one wrong,I dont know why or by who he was killed. These three men of the village were killed the same way, stabbed from the back then having their heads being cut slowly.'' Miri would speak outside of her home, then she would run back to her home crying with terror. Satoshi would sigh and light another cigarette as a headache would appear on himself; ''What a drag..''

 The sun was beginning to go down, It was time to enter the house itself.

[Nara Satoshi]

Satoshi slept close to the house's area and waited until it was past 00:00

Day 3:

 The night was at it's darkest. Satoshi had his heart beating faster than usual. He had a very unsettling feeling inside him. He lit another cigarette and enjoyed it until the very end. He then began walking towards the house with his right hand on one of his katanas. 
The house was coloured in black and it was almost a ruined building. Even though it was a ruined building, there wasn't any holes to enter it. Satoshi sighed and knocked on the door to try his luck. Almost ten minutes passed and there was no respond. Satoshi chuckled and sighed;
'' As I've expected, It's probably just a killer that has no relation with this house.'' Right after Satoshi's words, the door opened making a very annoying scratching sound, very slowly. Satoshi opened his eyes widely as his heart beat became even faster. He closed his eyes for a few seconds, then entered the house with a full determination after opening his lazy eyes.

 He cautiously moved around the dark house with his hand kept on his katana. He eventually found his way to the stairs. Cold sweats of fear were falling from his face. He followed the stairs and found a door opening into the roof. There was a paper on it which said;
'' I've been waiting for you, shinobi.''
Satoshi pulled his katana out and smashed the door into pieces and jumped into the roof.

 At the edge of the roof an ethereal man almost coloured in an aqua blue could be seen. It was a very tall man with a very long hair. His body had the same physique as a regular
'' ghost's '' body. The man began speaking. He had a voice of echo and a full reverb that almost echoed around the empty area; '' I only killed who had wasted my honour. After you, I will be sleeping forever with honour, freely.'' The ghost samurai spoke.
He then pulled his katana out and charged towards satoshi

 Satoshi slammed his hands together and yelled; ''Kagemane no jutsu!!''. Beams of shadows were sent towards the ghost. The shadows passed through him because he had no shadows. Satoshi opened his eyes widely and had no idea what to do. He just began dodging the samurai by jumping or runnig around the roof. The samurai began yelling and again charged at Satoshi in a very fast manner. Satoshi fell down and the samurai almost stabbed Satoshi with his blade. The automatic water orb shield appeared around Satoshi and dodged the samurai's attack. He then blowed the waters at the samurai with his chakra and jumped away from the place. The waters had no effect on the samurai. Satoshi would think;
'' Ninjutsu attacks can dodge him, but not hurt him. I need to fight without ninjutsu.''
Satoshi sighed because he never was a good user of hand to hand combat. He slammed his hands together and yelled; '' Kemuri Bunshin No jutsu!!'' 4 smoke clones of himself got created infront of him. He had a strategy in his mind..

 Satoshi charged towards the samurai with his clones. The samurai quickly smashed through the clones and left the area in an epic smoke. The ghost couldn't see properly now. Satoshi again summoned his clones and charged at the samurai within the blinding smoke. Satoshi quickly made the samurai drop his blade and made him pickup a clone Satoshi blade. The smokes were gone and only Satoshi and the samurai was left. They both charged eachother with their blades and stabbed eachother. The blade that managed to hit Satoshi had disappeared into smokes and had no damage on Satoshi, meanwhile the blade Satoshi used were deep within the samurai. The ghost body of Samurai turned into a regular human body as he was bleeding fast. The strategy worked perfect. Satoshi took samurai's sword meanwhile, samurai mistakenly took a smoke clone's sword.

 After the fight was done, Satoshi was ready to leave. The dying samurai began speaking; 
''Shinobi!'' He would cough in blood; ''Listen to my story before you leave me here dying.''

 Satoshi would raise a brow and would get closer to him.

 Samurai would continue to speak; '' I was a regular samurai of honour, who only worked for his master and doings of integrity and goodness. When my master died, I began working for the feodal lords as I had to. But the missions they were giving were making me nothing more than a worthless assasin. At that minute I decided o become a ronin. A ronin is someone who abandons the missions and title of samurai, and uses to art of samurai in a free way and takes no orders from anyone but oneself.. After travelling freely for a few months. I've found out that the Hitori Uzuki, Shinsuke Ryu, Haku Ryan imprisoned my little sister and raped her for months to get me inside the town and imprison me too. I got mad and returned to the village to kill them all and save my sister. When I entered there was a huge amount of assasins of them waiting to kill me, meanwhile I was fighting with their men they kept mocking my roped sister. He managed to kill almost all of their men but I was left in exhaustment and blood. I eventually fell down and died on my own. But I was carrying a tattoo on my body, which would revive me as a ghost after a few years for a few days. And those days were today. I've avenged my honour, my sister and my self by killing those emperialistic bastards.'' After his words, samurai would die coughing more blood.

 Satoshi would remain in a shocked attitude. He couldn't close his eyes for a few minutes. He few drops of tear fell of from his eyes. He pulled the samurai's katana from the ground and put it into his belt and left the house.

 ---
The next day he again entered the place where the daimyo would relax. He knocked the door, told his name and got in; '' Have you busted the ghosts, genin?'' The daimyo would again laugh mockingly. Satoshi would throw the samurai's blade infrontf of the daimyo in a very angry manner and would leave the place in an instant.. As soon as he would leave the place, he would head towards Kusagakure, to turn in this bloody mission.

Day 4:

 Satoshi was devastated to learn that the mission wasn't a success from kusakage's assistant Vlad. How could this be? He was sure that he killed the samurai. This could only mean that, the ghost samurai wasn't only player in this mission. Satoshi had a good shower in his home and cleaned his bloody cloths.. After a few hours of relaxing, it was already afternoon of the fourth day. He got his stuff ready to travel back to Aoukusa.

 After travelling back to the city, without visitng the daimyo's rest, he quickly went to the ''haunted'' house again. The doors seemed to be locked with chains this time. Satoshi calmly raised a brow and checked the locks if they were as serious as they looked like. He pulled out one of his sealed katanas and easily smashed through the chains in an instant slash. He then managed the open the door and two person, with guard clothings saw him. They quickly ran towards Satoshi. One was a very short person, the other was a regular sized person with a black mask covering his mouth area. The short one spoke;
'' Who the hell are you, breaking fucking chains?''
Satoshi sighed and spoke without making any eye contact with the person, this adventure and this town sure was very troublesome for someone like Satoshi;
'' I'm the one responsible for this house and anything related to it due to my mission. I'm the one that killed the samurai that was bothering you, but it seems that he wasn't the only problem.''

  The short guard would begin to laugh in a very mocking way;
'' So you're the shinobi hero that saved us from that bastard. Didn't they tell you? The Samurai wasn't the only thing that would come out of this damned house. This house had been a source of necromancy and spirit calling for a long time. I wonder what awaits you next.''

Satoshi would shiver, his facial expression would change in a very cold and scared one. He would feel like a child, in his immature fear, after the guard's words. The guard would then toughly pat Satoshi on his shoulder and would leave the area with the other guard. Satoshi lit a cigarette, with a shaking hand. He quickly entered the house with the cigarette in his mouth.
The sun was still up so there was nothing suspicious, until he had seen a door with many different writings and sealings on it. He closed his eyes and sighed. He pulled his katana and kick-opened the room and entered it. The room seemed to be pretty empty, it had four windows in it. As soon as Satoshi would enter, the windows would destroy the images of the afternon and a very dark night would be seen out of the damned windows. Satoshi's eyes would automatically be opened very widely with both caution and an un-ending fear.

[Nara Satoshi]

FINALE..

 Satoshi would feel a very cold breeze inside the room making him shiver. For the first time in his life, Satoshi thought that he wouldn't save himself out of the situation with his intelligence and mind. He just leaned towards the door with his katana on his hand, waiting for his death.

 A laugh would be heard. A man wearing acolyte clothes would approach at Satoshi, with an almost friendly attitude; '' Satoshi, aren't you dear?''
'' Brave one you are to come again, yes?'' 

 Satoshi quickly began to think of a strategy. The windows were just illusions so he was aware that the sun was still up and the windows were still open. Keeping that in mind he had to use his shadows before sun would go down. He quickly slammed his hands together and put out a really good amount of smoke out of his mouth, collapsing the whole room with smoke and blinding the dark person; ''Kemuri Kodate!!''

The ''necromancer'' would laugh; ''Aren't you just an adorable genin with simple tricks..''
The person would easily find someone at the spot satoshi was standing. The dark person choked the person he thought would be Satoshi, until it would explode and would create even more smokes. It was just a smoke clone created by Satoshi. The necromancer was immobilized right after, he killed the clone. This was Satoshi's signature move. He had given his sealed katana to the clone, so the clone could drop it and immediatly make the opponent get caught op on the katana for 18 seconds. (KageMane Shuriken No Jutsu)

 The necromancer would scream in pain; ''You cannot defeat me?!!'' ''Spirits come to my aid.''
Satoshi would laugh as he would notice the windows going back to normal;
'' You're just a genjutsu user and you had no relations with that honourable samurai. You're just trying to make yourself a name out of gloomy situations.. What a drag...''

 The necromancer would yell at Satoshi with a pure anger; '' You think you're so smart huh? God damn it, you fucking fucked up bastard. Fucking die in vain! ''

 Satoshi would emerge in with his own shadow as he would yell; ''Kagemane No Jutsu'!!' After doing the handseals. The time limit of the shadows would be gone and they would last as long as Satoshi would want them to last now. He immobilized the person with his own shadow, and the katana's shadow reached up to the person's neck and began choking him to death.
(Kage Kubi Shibari No Jutsu)
  
  Satoshi would move his fingers through his dark purple hair and sigh, leaned towards one of the windows; '' I would be lying on the soft grass, watching the clouds.. What a drag..'' 
He went out of the house with the unconscious body of the so-called necromancers. The guards noticed him, this time the one of the mask spoke; '' Who is this?!''
Satoshi would respond in a very tired manner;
'' Just an asshole, making problems out of a situation not related to him. Im not sure if I killed him or not, take him. His your property now. You've got a very problematic village...''
