Trail Of Tears {Training}

[jenzo]

“ In order to fight your enemy you might first fight yourself”

Alone in a crowd people, Jenzo pays no mind to the world around him as he walks down the streets of Sand Capital reading his book in silence.

The lushes scent of moon flowers (Ipomoea Alba) fill the street corner nearby. They are lovely white flowers that are round in shape like the full moon –hence- the name ‘Moon Flowers’ with a heavenly nighttime scent. Ipomoea alba’s unfold at night and have a luminescent, being cover in a heart-shaped leaves only adds more complement to their beauty.

As people passed by the street corner they couldn’t help but be enticed by the scent and go investigate. It was unusually and very unlikely to ever see Ipomoea Alba’s in sand country, due to its dry and humid climate. There at the street corner stood a young woman barely in her teens, there she stands by a small flower cart covered by the lovely Ipomoea flower. There she pleads with the people passing by to buy a flower for Five Ryo or even a bokay of flowers for Twenty Ryo for their loved ones. Most of the people actually passed the young girl by and paid to mind to her, only a few stopped to chat with the young girl and actually buy her flowers.

In truth, the young woman would have had a better time selling the lushes small of the flowers then the flowers them self.

As Jenzo passed by the corner he couldn’t help but stop and flowers.

As Jenzo passed by the corner he couldn’t help but stop and smell the flowers. As he stood his distance from the cart, he could hear the young woman plea with everyone as she tried her best to sell as many flowers as she can. Being somewhat mesmerized by the smell of the flower, he seemed to drift away into silence as the scent over powered him. “Hmm…” He muttered underneath his breath “The scent is quite pleasant”

“Excuse me…Sir?” Snapping out memorized state, Jenzo came face to face with the young flower girl. “Excuse me…um” She said with a quite timid voice, “Eh, Would you…um like to buy a flower?” She seemed a bit intimidated by Jenzo as he had the physique of a strong individually that has nothing but combat his whole life. The fear could have also came from the oversize cross he had strap to his back wrapped in nothing but a cloth like material with a black leather belt. Not everyone knew who the man was; it had been some years since he had walked down this street. His name would most likely been wildly know but his appearance was always stretched out.

“A flower huh?” He said a bit puzzled at the thought of getting one. “Ye..Yes. It would make a lovely gift for a loved one.” She said in a timid voice as she squirmed around a bit. Standing in silence jenzo seemed to pounder on the words the young woman said to him, ‘A loved one…I have no loved ones left…’ Snapping out of his thoughts he smiled warmly at the young woman “Sure, one flower.” With that a cheerful screech let out of the young girl as she rushed to her cart to pick out a flower for him. He chuckled a bit the girl’s childish action as she went into his pocket to pull out his Ryo, “Five Ryo please.” She said with an overwhelming smile on her face. Pulling out five Ryo out of his pocket it had the cash to the young girl were she shoved it into her apron. Before Jenzo had any time to reach for the flower he paid for. The young woman lend over placing the flower in a small hole in his cloak. “There, now you won’t look so mean.” She said with a big smile on her face. “Uh, thank you.” Saying a bit embraced, Jenzo gentle smiled at here and waved his good-byes as he parted ways.

Continuing down the street of the capital city, Jenzo started to wonder how life had changed back at his home town. “Home…” He muttered under his breath as he walked down the beaten streets, “It’s been sometime since I been there, I hope everyone isn’t upset with me.” As he continued down the street wondering about how life has changed since his absence. He heard the screams of terror call out from behind him. Turning back around with an appetent stare, he gazed down the street as people ran away from the direction. “Thugs are attacking the streets!” An elderly man cried out as he rushed by him.

Down the street corner where he had came from, a bunch a menacing looking men appeared crowding the streets as they surround the corner where the flower girl was at. There three men approached the frighten girl with sinister stare in there, “Makoto” One of the three men called out, “Times up!” the young girl seemed to tremble a bit, “Please…just a little more time! I can get the money in another two weeks.” The man that was talking laughed a bit as he examined the flower, “Please!? Don’t please me you twit. You really think you could raise Twenty thousand Ryo by selling nothing flowers?” Throwing the cart over the man head over toward the girl as the other two stomped the flower into the ground. “You know…” the man said as he approached her, “You could make more money if you sell your body” Grabbing hold of her by her waist he pulled her close to him as he lifted up her chin to look him in the eyes, “Hell, Since I’m such a nice guy Makoto I’ll even be your first customer.” The lackeys he came with that were running amuck up and down the streets started to laugh at their boss’s great idea.

Makoto tried her best to look away but every time she averted her eyes, he would violently shake her till she was looking back up at him, “So what do you say Makoto? Be my first?” She stood silent as she gazed up at him with a disguised look, “Only if you take a bath you pig…” She said with a firm voice right before she spat in his face. With that the man’s lackeys began to gasp and laugh as he wiped the spit from his face, “You little bitch!” He shouted as he slapped her down to the ground. With that he quickly withdrew a knife and grabbed her by her hair lifting her back to her feet. “I should gut you right now!”

Just as the man put the knife to the girls face a large cross came whistling threw the air almost hitting the leader of the gang, “What the hell!?” One of the men cried out as it crashed into a building wall destroying it on impact. “Who the hell did that!?” The leader of the gang shouted out as she looked around for the culprit Walking down the road was none other Jenzo, as he walked he stood in silence as he gazed at the group of men. “What the hell?” the leader cried out as he watched Jenzo walk through all his men paying no mind to them. “Yo!” He said as he stopped in the center of the group.

“Who the hell are you?” The leader cried out once again as he stared at him. “Huh, I missed.” Jenzo said as he stared at the leader of the bandit as he itch the back of his head “Wha..What did you say!?” The leader cried out once again as he seemed to grow more anger. “I never miss, guess your hideous grotesque face turn the trajectory off my cross.” Saying with a smirk on his face as he shrugged his shoulders, the man started to shake with anger as he started to make a mockery of him in front of his men. “Ho..How Dare You!” He shouted at he pointed his knife at him now, “Do you have any clue who I am?” Another smirk came across Jenzo face as he pointed back at him, “A Dumbass?” With the man started to twitch a bit as he pulled the girl up to him wrapping his arm around her neck, “Let’s see how smart you are when I cut her!” Jenzo stood silent as he gazed back at him.

“What’s a matter got nothing more to say?” The man said with confidence as he thought he had silence the man before, “Ah…Sorry, I haven’t recover yet from you dragon breath attack. Ever heard of mouth wash?” Even thought the young girl was in parole she couldn’t help but to chuckle herself, same went for the man’s henchmen. “Yoo…You Son of a Bitch! Get him you idiots!” He shouted in frustration. Gritting his teeth Jenzo watched as the group of thugs started to move in all around him. He didn’t worry much about them; his main concern was the girl. The man seemed unstable and any threat towards him he might harm the girl. Because of this factor Jenzo had no choice but to do what he must to try to save her life.

From behind Jenzo a man carried a wooden bat, thinking he had the element of surprise he cocked the bat has far back as he can and with all his might sent the bat crashing down the right side of his face. On impact the bat burst as it collided with his face sending him crashing to the floor. There Jenzo lied in silence as the group of thugs began to swarm the fallen shinobi. [/size]

“Don’t Hurt Him!” Makoto cried as she watched the group of thugs start to stomp Jenzo into the ground. Blow after blow Jenzo stood silent as he gazed up at the young girl watching tears flow down here cheek. “Please Stop It!” She cried out again as she struggled to break the man’s grip, but to no success. The man was too strong for her to overpower to break his grip, and all she could do is scream and plead with the people to stop hurting man. As the leader of the gang watched on he started to laugh at the man that belittle him so much was not getting –his- just-desert. The two watched as the leader’s men stomped and pound away at Jenzo with anything they could get their hands on. Except two the guy’s henchmen, they sought out the giant cross the man threw, they both went over to the remains of the side of the building examining the giant cross. One of the two bent over to pick up the cross, but the man seemed to have a hard time even budging the oversize thing. “What is this made of?” The man cried out as his buddy joined in to help him stand it up and nothing more. “It has to weight a ton or something!?” The man’s friend said as he patted the cross to see if it was rock solid.

“This guy is a punk!” One of the men shouted as he kicked Jenzo in his side, a giggle came from most of the men. Other seemed to grow tired of pounding away at him and decided to step aside and let others with more energy to come in to take their place. “Please!!!” Makoto plead once again to the boss, “Let Him Go! I’ll Do Anything…PLEASE!!!” The stopped laughing looking down at the girl and smirked, “Sure…I’ll let him go.” With that he tossed the flower girl down to the floor. “I’ll let him go right to the Afterlife! Pick him up!” He shouted as he headed towards Jenzo twirling the knife in his hand. The men took heed and stopped what they were doing, but not after they got in a last kick in. Two of the men lifted the fallen hero to his feet both holding one arm each to keep him stand. “So mister big shoot, you’re not so funny anymore now are you?” Jenzo stood silent as his body was limp and his head fall down into his chest, blood trickled down his forehead and to the ground. The man snickered as stood in front of Jenzo lifting him up by his hair to see Jenzo eyes were closed. “Out cold huh? Oh well, guess it means you won’t fell a thing.” The man let go of his hair and watched Jenzo head fall back down into his chest. “Please! Don’t!” Makoto cried out once again. The man turned around and smiled, “What you said let him go and I am. And what nicer way to go, he won’t even feel a thing. It is like he fell into a deep sleep. Aren’t I nice?” With that his entire mean chanted at their boss calling him the nice gent that ever lived.

As the man turned back around he heard muttering come from Jenzo “Oh? Still with us. How unfortunate, I hate seeing people suffer like this. Let me…ease your pain.” Jenzo smiled a bit as he chuckled, “Come…closer…I..” Jenzo muttered as he tried to lift his head. “Huh? A last request is it?” the man said as he moved a bit closer to him. “I…I…Wa…” Jenzo muttered as he had a hard time speaking. “You, Wa? Can’t understand.” Jenzo looked up at the man as he stared down at him, “I want you to die.” Jenzo spoke out loud and clear. With that Jenzo stood up by his own picking up to the two men as they still held tightly onto his arm “Ah! Bo..Boss!” One of the men cried out as they were lifted off the ground still clinging on to Jenzo arm’s. “What!?” The man cried out “What are you!?” He shouted as he slowly started to back up a bit. Jenzo looked at him with a blanket state of emotion as he gazed heavily at him, “Your worst nightmare.” The man started to shake out of fear and with that he trusted his blade into the stomach of Jenzo. Nothing even flinching as he was stabbed Jenzo stood in silence gazing at him for a bit before staring down at the knife in his stomach. “Wrong move.” Jenzo said as he grabbed the man’s hand and started to crush his hand as he pulled the knife out his stomach.

The man screamed in pain as he squirmed to try to get away from him, “Ah! He..Help Me!” The man shouted as he tried his best to break his grip. Jenzo smiled as he gaze at him with sinister eyes, and without any warning Jenzo strike the man square in the face he sent the boss of the thugs flying forty meters back, but before the man could fly thirty two meters back he went crashing head first into the wall causing the wall to crumble on him. The man that was clinging onto Jenzo right arm that threw the punched went falling to the ground shaking in terror he felt the might of the punch as he went with it. The other one who was on his left arm let go and started to head backwards into the crowd of thugs who were shocked to see their boss go out with one punch. As they all gasped at the sight of it, Jenzo turned to them as blood still rushed down his forehead, “So…Who hit me with a brick.” All the men stood silent as they gocked at Jenzo as he stood calm looking at them with a uneasy stare. “Ge…Get Him!” One of the men cried out from the back as he pointed his metal pipe at him. With that said all the men cried out in a battle cry as they all charged him.

Jenzo smiled as heard the words ‘get him’ “Hehe” He chuckled under his breath as he watched the first guy charge him from the font, “Looks like I get to have fun.” He said as he watched the man throw a punch at him. Quickly ducking down, Jenzo evaded the punch and trusted his right fist into the man’s abdomen, sending crashing back into the crowd of thugs were he bounds off the first line of them and headed into the second. Quickly turning about-face, Jenzo quickly counter a man that was swinging down a metal bat to hit his head. Catching the bat before it even touched him, the man struggled to get the bat free from his grip, but couldn’t. Before the man knew it Jenzo sucked punch the man right in the spleen sending him falling to his knees puking his guts out. Jenzo quickly turned to his side as a man came rushing up on his left to hit him with an axe. Ducking down once again, Jenzo caused the man to trip over him and fall into the puddle of puke the man was still throwing up. Not giving the man a chance to get back up to do anything. Jenzo quickly strike the man in the chest causing a rib to break. The man had now where to go except down as the earth exploded underneath him from the force of the punch. As the man lied in a small creator of puke, Jenzo quickly punted the man that was throwing up next to him into a group of thugs that were rushing from his left. With the same power he used just like before he sent the man crashing into the group sending them all crashing on the ground as the man still was puking.

As Jenzo quickly looked around, he noticed someone rushing up behind him to make an attempt to grapple him. Without letting him have the chance, he trusted his right elbow into the face of the man with such force as last time he sent the man flying passed the flower girl and right into the building were his boss crashed into. Makoto watched in silence as she was stunned by the man’s might as he flung the thugs left and right with great ease . As Jenzo continued to fight the group of thugs a big smile came across his face as small chuckles escaped his lips as he fought.

After striking the man with his elbow; Jenzo turned around only t o be suckered punched in the face, his face cocked a bit from the punch as it really didn’t have any effect on the tyrant. Jenzo only smiled as he pulled back a bit and headed butted the man in the face breaking his noise and sent him flying back just like the others. Turning to his left, he watched as one of the thugs came at him swinging wilding at him. Dodging the first two punches, Jenzo managed to catch his right hook with his own right hand. As quickly as he caught it, Jenzo uppercut the man in the chin almost sending him flying into the air, but if it wasn’t for Jenzo still holding on to the man’s right arm. He would have surely gone flying forty meters into the air. With a smile on his face, Jenzo trusted the man back to earth were he sent him crashing into the earth. “Die!” One of the men shouted from behind him as he rushed at him with a knife, looking back at him Jenzo only chuckled as he quickly turned around and slammed the guy down with the other man he was still clinging on to. He sent both men flying into a group of thugs were once again their own allies collided with their partners sending them falling back.

Finding himself in a endless situation, Jenzo rushed one of the men grabbing him by the face where he lifted the man clear off the ground and slammed him in the floor with a bone shattering force that cracked the earth. Not letting go of the man he hurled him up into the air and went onto his next opponent to let the man free fall back to the ground. Wasting no time, Jenzo turned to the next guy who oddly enough was the one that shouted ‘get him’. The man quivered in fear but it didn’t stop him from swinging his metallic bat at Jenzo. With a smirk on his face, Jenzo trusted his fist towards the bat for a head on collision, on impact the back went flying with great force it ripped right out the man’s hand nearly shattering his own hands. The thug fall on his knees as he looked up at Jenzo who wasted no time kneeing the man in the face as he gazed up at him, sending the man bouncing of the pavement he turned about-face striking a man in chest that was trying to get the jump on him. He also sent the man bouncing off the pavement with great force. Most of the thugs were fleeing, while others were knocked out, only a handful stated to try to fight Jenzo head on.

Taking a deep breath, Jenzo stood still watching three of the thugs circle around him hoping to get him by surprise. It wasn’t long till one of the men finally got behind Jenzo were he charged him shouting at the top of his lungs, Jenzo side step out the man’s way watching him rush right by him, but before the man got out of his attack range. Jenzo sent a powerful karate chop to the back of the man’s head sending him bouncing off the floor. From Jenzo side once again one of the men tried to strike Jenzo with a lead pipe, reacting quickly Jenzo strike the man in his face with a bone shattering elbow. The man was sent flying like so many before him into a building wall. The man in front of Jenzo had no choice but to attack or be attack, moving with the better initiative the man trusted a powerful punch to Jenzo chest, though it was quite powerful the man was slow. Catching the punch before it even reached him, Jenzo trusted his right fight that held the man’s own fist into his face, it somewhat gave new meaning –hitting yourself- as the man was sent flying into a streetlight.

Everyone who was still able to move flee the streets as they knew they had no hopes in defeating Jenzo. He looked around with solace look as he shrugged his shoulder with a heavy sigh, “Hopefully I got the one who hit me with a brick” He muttered to himself. Turn back to Makoto he smiled gentle at her like he did before and spoke in a soft tone, “Are you ok?” Makoto stared in silence as she seemed to be dazed. Heading over their Jenzo got on one knee and looked straight at the girl, “Are you hurt?” Jenzo asked as he was in her face. The girl snapped back to reality with a jump of fright as she fell over “Auuuu…”

Jenzo stood back up, but not without offering the young girl a hand. She looked up at him with tearful eyes as she seemed she wanted to cry. “Why?” She said before taking his hand, “Because it’s my job to help people.” Jenzo said as he pulled the girl back up to her feet. “But you…got hurt.” Jenzo chuckled a bit at the girl “Nothing I can’t heal.” She looked up at him with teary eyes. “Thank you.” Jenzo turned away a bit bashful, “Eh…Don’t mention it.” With that Jenzo headed over to the crumble wall to retrieve his weapon. As he picked up cross up with no problems he headed to the boss of the gang who was slowly gaining conscientious. Grabbing the man by the collar of his shirt, Jenzo lifted the man straight up into the air and slammed him up against the wall. “Listen to me!” Jenzo shouted at the man “If catch word that you are in my city again….I’ll kill you.” The man was too scared to speak, and to show he agreed with Jenzo terms he only nodded his head. “That’s a boy.” Jenzo said as he tossed the man aside.

Turning around, he saw Makoto back on the floor near her cart digging threw her flower. Walking over to her, Makoto jumped up with a flower in her hand and with a big smile on her face. “Here you go.” She said with a cheerful tone. Jenzo looked at her with a bit puzzled look, “What this for?” Makoto reached over pulling the flower he purchased out from his coat. “Your last flower got destroy, so I am replacing.” Jenzo looked down at her as he watched her replace the flower he once had. “Thank you” Jenzo said a bit embraced. She nodded as she looked up to him, “No, Thank you.” With that Jenzo patted the girl on the head and sated down the road once again, but before he turned the street corner the girl cried out to him. “Wait!” Jenzo turned back around looking at the girl, “What is your name?” She asked with a sincere voice,

Jenzo only smiled as he tossed a bag towards her, without warning the girl juggled the bag in her hands as she tried to get a hold of it. After finally getting a good grip upon it, she opened the bag to discover a wad of cash. “But…” She said as she looked back at him. “A gift from the thugs” Jenzo shouted. Tears started to form once again as she stared at him “Thank You.” She said once again under her breath. Jenzo turned around once again to head down the road back to his home. “And my name…Is Jenzo Kamyuja!” The girls eyes opened why as she knew the name all too well, “Sannin of Sand. The Demon of the Desert.” [/size]
