_________ POV Narration _________ The war raged on between all factions in the Shinobi World. Nations ate at each other's throats with ravenous fury and greed. The Shinobi World was never peaceful, to them, peace was a strange state of being, one that they couldn't quite understand. In truth, ever since the Warring States, things had never really gotten better. The only actual period of peace was when the First Hokage, the God of Shinobi, was still alive to uphold it. 'Only someone on the level of…-

_________ POV Narration _________ The constant training was starting to take its toll on some of the Blades... More specifically, Akira was bored out of his mind and wanted to do something more productive with his time. It seemed that he now found killing off random bandit hideouts boring as well, so in the end, he started sparring with the others... Well, he tried to anyway. Saburo told him off in the kindest way possible, and Tosho told him it was a complete waste of good training time. Ken was also…

_________ POV Narration _________ 'Hello, Father! I hope this letter finds you well and healthy... Sorry for not being able to come and visit, I didn't want to interrupt my training just yet. The months that followed my arrival at the Dark Brotherhood compound have been amazing! Sir Ken is undoubtedly a great teacher, and more than anything, a very creative person! His training regime is both gruelling and compelling. It's nothing like the boring sword swinging that Grampa Mifune had me do! (PS: Please…

_________ POV Yue_________ Lord Ken can only really be described as a strict teacher... It's only been a day since we've left the capital. One day since I've left the safe confines of my father's palace, and I'm already having to struggle to catch my own food in the wild... Lord Ken still gave me the appropriate knowledge, told me how some animals behaved, how to successfully corner them, where their most vital spots are... It was basic knowledge, the type I am used to cramming already. I could tell…

__________ POV Narration__________ "I-is something wrong, Father?..." Yue's voice rang out as she stood before her father inside his office. She was dressed in new clothes, all blood was washed off. She now looked just like before, as if nothing at all had happened. Behind the Daimyō stood Mifune and Ken, shoulder to shoulder... Well, close to that at least. Mifune was still taller than Ken by quite a bit, at least while Ken's transformation was still active. "Yue... We need to talk about what…

_________ POV Narration _________ Ken studied the little girl's shaking figure with curiosity, unsure of what to expect from her. The samurai present seemed to be rather confused at the Assassin's intentions. Why would he tell their young lady to get her hands dirty in such a gruesome manner?! Well, not like she would accept... Right? ... Reality is oftentimes different than what you would normally expect. With not even a second's hesitation, the little girl seemed to be possessed, she lounged…

____________ POV Narration ____________ "... So that's the plan, huh?..." Ken's shoulders slumped a bit as he tilted his head. 'At least I won't have to teach some spoiled brat... I can also always refuse, but making Daimyō owe me another favour is certainly going to be helpful in the future... The more leverage I have over him the better... This also sounds like easy money regardless...' "Yep... Do you think you can do it? Not that I doubt you can get your hands dirty, but we don't wish to…

_________ POV Narration _________ Things were going quite well for Harada Yuichi, as the Daimyō of the Land of Iron, everything was proceeding in the best way possible. The Land of Iron was prospering, and crime was becoming more and more of a rarity, as the iron rule of both the samurai and the Dark Brotherhood made criminal groups extremely rare. Much to Yuichi's surprise, the Dark Brotherhood had managed to rack up enough bounties to discourage criminal organizations from settling in their 'turf'…

_________ POV Narration _________ The three Shinobi/Assassins made their way to Ken's office without much issue. Ken sat down in his chair, resting his feet on his desk while stretching his upper body and sighing deeply. Tosho, the First Blade, stepped by his side and stood straight with his arms crossed. And Kazue dragged a random chair in front of Ken's desk and sat down. He only did so after Ken nodded, however, not wanting to appear disrespectful to the Organization Leader. The three of them…

_________ POV Narration _________ Kazue didn't quite know what to make of the Dark Brotherhood leader during their first meeting. The Red Dot, or Ken as he preferred to be called, was a quiet and reserved individual. But he also had an air of mystery around him, certainly aided by the fact that he always wore a mask. No one really knew how he looked from reports. No one had ever seen his 'real' face... At least nothing like that was ever made public. The first thing that Kazue did was shake the Red…
