Born in Hidden Snow, Gin was such a wonderful child always happy and motivated to be his best. His father was an Samurai from Hidden Thunder and his mother a Ninja from Hidden Snow. Born with the promise that one day he would be great and powerful his parentes helped him to understand what the world is and what it might not be, from their side of view, and trained him as he grew stronger and skilled with sword and ninjutsu. Gin was happy enough with his parents but, of course, he wanted more than that... Gin wanted to graduate as a ninja and that he did!
A week after the graduation Gin was formally introduced to his new partners and the Sensei.
His partners were a girl and a boy named Sekai and Ken, sister and brother who loved each other and by the time of eighteen days they became Gin's best friends.
The Sensei was a skilled woman who had a hair just as golden as the sunlight. She was just as beautiful as the nature. Her skin was smooth and just as beautiful and bright as the moon itself. Over time, she became his second mother, although she had never left the professionalism as their Sensei. Her name was [i]Ada[/i]
Four entire months training as hard as they could and doing missions within the Village. They trained so hard both day and night till the moment they were finally able to work fully as a team, trusting each other more than themselves.
They were finally ready to fulfill missions outside the Hidden Snow. Their Sensei was really proud of them and so she decided to let them choose one of the Rank C missions.
"Search and Capture"
Their goal was, briefly, to capture two assassins and bring them back to receive their due trial. One of them was already seriously wounded, he had lost one of his arms by a sharpened sword in the battlefield though it got stuck in a giant rock.
The Team left Hidden Snow as soon as possible so they could analyze the battlefield and then search for the assassins.
After arriving on the battlefield, what they saw in front of them was death. Corpses brutally scattered all around the field...
There was no living thing there, besides them. Almost 19 corpses around them.
"But how could only two assassins do such a horrible thing?" - They asked themselves
There was no answer for that question. Yet...
The view was not the best, the stench... worse! They decided to start the search for the assassins, they had to. None could escape from that without getting what they deserved. It was easy in the beginning of the search because there was a blood trail but after a while it started to vanish till the moment that the team no longer knew where to go or when to stop.
A strange feeling washed over them, lifting the fine hairs on hte napes of their necks. They were being watched. Smoothly they went into combat stances, gripping their weapons. They counted five: five assassins against three of them.
"We can't just capture them..." - Gin whispered
"Try to capture all of them, but you have my permission to kill. Try to get at least two, like the original plan."
Sweat beaded on Ada's forehead as she looked over her students. They were young, inexperienced, and this was asking too much. She hoped she wouldn't have to attend yet another funeral.
"Here they come" - The brothers cried out, fear nearly cracking their voices.
They split up in defensive formation B, desperately searching for weaknesses that could give them an edge.
The assassins were perfectly synchronized, every step was carefully executed as if drilled a thousand times.
The team's defensive formation was something hard to break, almost perfect... But then one of the assassins noticed something. One was slightly inclined, leaving his flank open. The brother was slightly inclined and they saw that. The assassins knew what to do and when exactly...
3...
2...
1...
They went to Ken. Two of them, searching nothing but death.
What they did not noticed was that the flaw they saw was nothing but a simple trap. Mixing the assassins experience, their pride and the fact that the team was young and the only threat could be the sensei so they thought none could do a thing. they were careless. What happened next wasn't good to both assassins... Sekai throwed a Kunai while the sensei was getting close to them. The kunai was a clever distraction, by the time they repulsed it the Ada was close enough to knock someone down.
"One less" - Said Ada
"It won't be easy but we CAN do this!" - Once again, encouraging her students.
As she turned to face the enemies the worse happened
"ADA-SENSEI, CAREFUL!" - Gin and Sekai shouted while two more assassins appear and cut her throat and pierced her stomach.
It seemed that the whole world went in slow motion while Sekai, Gin and Ken saw her body falling down to the ground.
Ada took one last look at her precious students one by one, smiling to them and crying while blood dripped from her mouth...
Life was leaving her body, she couldn't speak anymore for her throat had been deeply cuted.
She moved her mouth forming her last words. "Thank you... Sorry"
"Retreat!" - Said one of the assassins.
by the way he spoke Gin could realize that he was their Leader.
After the assassins had left, Gin ran to Ada's body which was surrounded by her blood.
In that day, Gin lost two important things to him... His "second mother" and his good emotions, leaving only coldness and rage within him... He blames himself for what happened, he should've done somethin instead of just warning her. But this is not the end, Gin knows all that... He's just getting started with the life he chose to live.
