“Oh great… Just great…” Big Train thought out loud. “I don’t know where the hell I am!”. He had been wandering through the Fukurou Forest for days now, making wrong turn after wrong turn. But at least he’s made his way into a part of the forest that looks unfamiliar. Which was promising that he wasn’t going in another circle. He heard noises up ahead. Noises that sounded a lot like clashing metal. He was wondering if he’d run into some of these Ninjas and Samurai he had heard of… Could it be? He made his way up into the clearing and peered out from behind a rather large tree. While it was quite large, as it was, it was clearly not large enough to hide his humongous form. Luckily it wouldn’t matter much. His hunch was correct. Out there in the clearing lied a small group of samurai attacking an even smaller group of ninja.
While Big Train definitely didn’t want to see someone die, but it was hard to pass up the chance to bear witness to their style. So he decided to watch from behind the tree as the samurai made their attack. The ninjas countered valiantly but the samurai's attacks rang true. Most of them sustained injuries, it was only a matter of time before the samurai would win this battle. But as the samurai drew in for another attack, this one sure to be the final attack. Big Train decided to act and he took a hard and decisive step forward. Hoping to break it up and save some lives today. On both sides, of course. He viewed himself as neutral in all of this. But wait! Before he can make another move, a figure blazes through the trees just a few paces to the left of where he was.
The figure surged in and attacked the samurai single handedly. It was another ninja! Though this one was much smaller in build as the others. But they were just as skilled, if not more so. The tiny ninja knocked one of the samurai out completely and then elegantly disarmed another. This forced a break in their encirclement. Creating enough room for the ninja’s injured comrades to flee. The little ninja had single handedly saved their lives. But it might have come at the cost of their own. The samurai did not give chase to the injured ninjas. Instead they turn towards the miniscule ninja. One of the samurai appeared to be saying something to the ninja, but Big Train was too far away. This samurai wore red armor and seemed to be leading the others.
But regardless the samurai were closing in and the ninja was now up against 6 samurai, all by themselves. However the samurai weren’t expecting just how skilled this ninja was. When two of the samurai lunged forward towards the ninja, the ninja moved so fast that it seemed to blink completely out of existence. “Woah!” Big Train would exclaim, probably louder than he would’ve liked. But luckily the battle kept him from being heard. “That was the afterimage technique!” he thought. The little ninja would then reappear behind one of the samurai that was farthest away from his allies. The tiny ninja would hit him with an impressive attack. A wide ki blast that was conjured by a midair slash of their katana, knocking them out of the fight completely.
"This little ninja just keeps getting more and more impressive", Big Train thought. But it was still five against one, and these samurai were no chumps. They were also skilled with ki manipulation. A few coordinated ki blast got the little ninja caught in their trap. One of the samurai catching the ninja off guard, slashing a gash in the ninja’s arm, disarming them. The rest of the samurai moved in to surround the ninja as the red armored samurai slowly moved in for the killing strike. This guy was definitely the leader of the group, as he was the one doing more of the coordinating. And now he would be the one to revel in the killing blow. But not while Big Train’s around! He was already charging forward, remarkably fast for his large body. He would cut right between two of the lesser samurai to catch the leader off guard. Hitting him with a powerful ki infused strike right across the helmet. “CONVICTION!” Big Train would call out as the blow connected.
His signature attack would send the red samurai through the air and then through a couple of trees in the distance. He definitely wouldn’t be waking up for quite some time. The samurai were shocked but they soon regained composure, marching forward to get revenge for their fallen leader. But now it was four against two and the samurai were missing their commander. Big Train would reach down and lend a hand to the little ninja, which they would seem to begrudgingly accept after picking up their katana sword. It’s now that Big Train would realize just how small they are, as they use their petite hand to grasp onto his. And they couldn’t be standing any taller than 5’2! But regardless, they packed a punch that rivaled Big Train’s! And that's definitely something that Big Train respected.
The pair surprisingly worked great as a duo. The ninja’s lightning fast strikes and disappearing act opened up the samurai to fall victim to Big Train’s big K.O. blows. The pair made quick work of the last four samurai. And then, without notice, the little ninja would lunge toward the red samurai that was still lying motionless face first in the grass. The ninja was going for a killing blow! Big Train couldn’t let this happen, it’s cowardice to kill a defenseless opponent. And just plain wrong! He would sprint after the little ninja, grabbing their petite arms just in time to stop the downwards plunging blade. “You can’t do this, this is wrong!” Big Train shouted as he drove the ninja back. The ninja would then rip away from his grasp and jump backwards, removing the black garb covering their face. Long hair burst from under the cloth, like a magic trick.
The sight confused Big Train, but then his face turned beet red. This little ninja was a young girl! And she was gorgeous at that, with a face that Big Train could only imagine belonging to an angel. Big Train didn’t do well in front of girls, especially beautiful ones like her. “You don’t understand!” she shouted, “He hurt my brother and he won’t stop until he’s dead!”. Big Train sat back for a moment, family was a foreign concept to him but Master Bai was practically a father to him. So he understood how she must feel. “B-but it’s not right. Killing is wrong, especially when someone is defenseless. Do you think your brother would want you to just casually take a life like this?”. “You can’t even pretend to understand our world!” the girl shouted back, but she had withdrawn.
Apparently giving up on the idea of murder. She turned around fast in a huff and took off deeper into the forest. Big Train gave chase and eventually found himself in the middle of a ninja village. Blades were quickly drawn all around, but the ninja girl raised her hand with a sigh. “It’s ok… He’s a friend” she took a few steps closer. “I’m sorry, my father always has told me that I’m too rash. I’m truly grateful for your help, warrior. My name is Nohara, and this is my clan” around about this time an older man would be making his way towards the two. “My name is Car-Big Train! My name is Big Train and it’s a pleasure to meet you” he’d flash his iconic doofy smile. He had ALMOST given her his real name. The older ninja warrior would just about be between the two at this point. “Who is your friend, my daughter?” he had a very peaceful look about him, something that reassured Big Train that he helped the right people. “This is Big Train” she replied. “He helped… he saved me. And he knocked out Tenma in one shot” she would chuckle as the veteran ninja would be overcome with shock.
“You don’t say… Well, I am Haru, leader of this clan. I owe you a great debt for saving my daughter. Please, tell me how I can repay you”. Big Train thought for a moment, money? Nah, he wasn’t that greedy and they seemed like good folk. Food? Oh hell yeah. BUT, there was something even more important to him. “Teach me your fighting style, I want to become the greatest martial artist!” he would follow this statement with a fist pump. Haru would look stern for a moment, thinking. “Our ways are a closely kept secret… But you have proven yourself a valuable ally. We will teach you our ways… BUT, there is something you must do for us when the time is right”. Big Train would nod emphatically, as long as it didn’t go against his “code”, he would do just about anything to progress his martial arts knowledge.
And so he stayed for some time and learned the seed of the ninjutsu style to add to his own.
