Chapter 11
[Hidden Thunder Village, The Market]
1:00PM, Day 4
ArashiArashi was wondering around the market of his home village, Hidden Thunder.
Arashi was a proud Himitsu, he wore his Himitsu cloak with pride and had a mysterious scroll on his back which was said to contain the Himitsu's secret to which he was the protector of. His white, spiky hair stood up by his forehead protector.
As Arashi was walking down the road, rowed with shopping stands selling things from food to merchandise.
"Arashi? Is that you?" A familiar voice echoed from behind.
As Arashi turned he saw Reminance walking up to him.
"Oh, hey Remi. Long time no see. I thought you was in the Hidden Forest?" Arashi asked his fellow Himitsu brethren.
Remi began to walk with him down through the market. "I had to come back on business. Anyway, is it safe to carry that scroll on your back?" Remi questioned with unease that Arashi was so careless with the Himitsu secret scroll.
Arashi laughed in response. "Remi, how can I protect the scroll if it is not with me?"
Arashi made a good point.
As the two walked down the market, they passed Mars' Ramen.
"Wanna grab a bite before going our separate ways? It'll be nice to catch up." Remi asked.
"Sure." Arashi answered as they turned to head inside.
"Welcome!" The chef said with cheer.
The two placed an order of ramen and sat at their table.
Mars' Ramen was the best ramen shop in town, maybe even the country. It was pretty big for a ramen shop with oak tables decorated with a gold trim to the sides and a BBQ grill in the middle for customers to cook their own meat to their own tastes. It had an open view kitchen where customers could also watch their noodles being cooked from scratch, the way Mars' Ramen did all their dishes they served.
A few moments after they were served their meal, two men came into the shop, wearing a recognisable clan emblem.
"Kirishima.." Remi said through gritted teeth in a hush tone.
Arashi turned to look as he saw two of the most well known members of Kirishima.
"That's Kairo the Pyro, master of the fire style." Arashi whispered to Remi.
Kairo Kirshima was in the same age group as Arashi yet had knowledge of jutsu of someone twice their age. He had white hair and two personalities. Depending on which one was out would depend if the Himitsu could take the two on or not.
Remi nodded in agreement. "And that's Konohuro Kirishima, known for his multiple personalities. They say they are almost like masks of identities. It'd make sense they travel together with such similarities such as their multiple personalities." Remi responded.
They both decided to not say anything and eat their ramen.
"Reminance Himitsu, Arashi Himitsu." Kairo said whilst standing behind them with a grin.
Remi had a look of seriousness across his face. "Kairo the Pyro of the clan Kirishima.." Reminance began to speak.
"What brings you here?" he continued, readying for his reply.
As he asked Konohuro came over and with one swipe, knocked their food on the floor quickly, smashing the bowls and creating silence in the restaurant.
Arashi stood quickly and Remi put his hand on his shoulder, knowing he was going to retaliate.
"Now that was uncalled for.." Remi said calmly.
"You guys versus us! Let's see who is the more noble clan, yes?!" Kairo said, getting all fired up.
Remi's facial expression turned to one of anger. "Fine. Let's take this outside, shall we?" Reminance said, leading the way.
The four stood outside the shop, Himitsu on the left and Kirshima on the right, waiting for someone to make the first move that will begin the 'friendly' fight between the two.
"You ready, Arashi?" Remi asked with a serious tone.
Arashi took his scroll off his back and placed it aside. "Let's do this." Arashi replied with a smirk.
