Jack's Story XD

Chapter 1:The begining of life - toddler:

Sanctus's birth was one done in the hands of his kind hearted clan mambers, proud to have a new member of their religion, Sanctus's name was given to him by his father, not even he really know what it means, but it must be good to him as having his name gave his father pride. when he was weighed he was a tad bit under what the nromal for a baby was, and it was determinded that he had a vary above advrage matabilism, his hair then was silky blond and his eyes light blue. he was given the chres of the religion's symbol by his father in hopes that he keeps it forevver safe. "This chrest is a symbol of your dedication to our clan little one" he would always say, it was just a metal crest, nothing was really special about it other then that it was in the shape of his religions symbol, but to his father it ment everything that it was kept with the baby at all times, his room was as normal as any other room, white walls and scripture writen on them from their holy word, pictures of what jutsus look like when preformed and other things, Sanctus was surounded by the propaganda his religion taught him from since he was a baby. he did not know anything else, he would look at the pictures in awe for minutes at a time and if not he would be sleeping, some debate now on if this is the reason for his abnormal chakra amount today, his constant sleeping mad eso storeing chakra was just a normal thing for him, the chakra going though his little body never being used becuase he was just sleeping or eating. he never gained much whight. even as a newbor, medical nins had to be called becuase he was so low in babyfat that they feared for their little ones life. when they took him to the hospital for a check up to see if he was alright his heart stoped due to an overload of assess chakra in his body, they saved him but only hardly, now worried for more things to happen with him, his father worried now taht his first and last son will eb just a little corpose soon. they then forced to put him on a workout rutine with baby xercises and streches to help with chakra flow and to keep him moving. this example if what members of the clan point to today when people talk abotu why Sanctus must be moving at all times and now does so on instinct. his mother was a farmer and hsi father a soilder for the clan,tehir jobs involved hsi mmother to tend to the feild after the men, and help cook and pack the food to be baught and sold in the village. while hsi father watched over the small outpost/temple they had. soon after turning a year old his mother and father moved to a new area, far from the city of mist but still within walking distance, they had nothing but building ecqupment and they did their bestto work with it, his father spending much of hsi time now hunting agme and building while his mother started a veggie garden in what would be the back yard later in life. he would just lay in his crib staying active by ether crying of wiggling around. and that was the most part his time as a baby.

as a toddler he kept mostly to himself, playing with vary few people and constently fiddleing with his crest, witch was on a necklace and was bound to him. he sat alone for long hours just thinking about things a toddler would think of, playsets and new toys where not something a Templar was allowed to think about, and thats what his father called him, he was the Templar. a holy knight of his clan. his father would rant to him as if he was to udnerstand. "you are going to become one witht he highest honnors in out clan son, you MUST be what is called a Templar, a brave knight whom's soul duty is to protect what is good and just in this world..this world where we must pay tolls to go in and out ofour own villages, where we can hardy even see the sun where we live. you will eb one of the few out there wantin to fix it my little templar" though the lack of good taste in indoctrenateing a child, brainwashing them into the religiona dn thus posioning any chance of free thought can be seen as an evil in and of itself, it was not seen as such in the eyes of the clan, whom respected the name Templar for the most part and thus would love to see him grow up to be one. for the longest time Sanctus's name was not Sanctus, it was templar! and he had no say in the matter at all, nto knowing any other name really templar was a quick fix to a complicated name. at home now was a hell, work still was needed to be done on the house and his father was getting to the point of giving up, as a toddler as he could do was watch as nothign got done, and he had to eat off scraps on the ground, he still spent much of his time sleeping and this time knew at least about chakra, witch at a vary young age was known as "the blue stuff". at 4 years old he found out many, many difrent things out, he learned more about the religion and about why he was called templar. he foudn this out when the new consept of "story time" came in with hsi mother in the evenings, she would tell of brave knights and great advantures. the brave knights where known as the Templars, winged cursaders of justus! and the roll of the hero quickly made it to Sanctus's heart. he wanted to eb the hero so baddlya dn could not excape the idea of it. every day he would pace around the outside with a stick, playing games with himself and laughing it up when he fell or made a mistake with his words. he snickered at everything that had to do with being a knight or a king. Sanctus thoguht that to be a knight was to save everyone and be a hero no matter what, get the bad guya nd bring him to jail! he would act all of this out, and strangely would glow a bit every time he would do it, late at night he would be seen clear as day outsie, as if he did not even notice that he was gleming in the pale light of the moon. he never ran out of juise and therefor there was no need to do anything abotu hsi antics, he was naver stoped from playing outside when he wanted to, thinking that it was strenth that needed to be trained but it turned out that was really being trained was his ailty to use chakra. his little body held a lot more then most had expected and now he was bulking it up even more! It was at this time the surpise of a new child hit, it apeared as if he was going to have a brother!! and the name was already picked for the little guy, Jake. he was a little baby and was never allowed to be touched. Sanctus fell in love witht he baby brother as soona s he laid eyes on him. he had black hair, brown eyes and a vary ute smile. he was everything that Sanctus was not, active, outgoing, liking all new people dispite the cercumstances. and was always happy to see a new face fro in hsi crip. jake took over Sanctus's room and Sanctus got his own room in the guest room, the new baby had the room becuase to try and get him brainwashed jut like what was condishioned to Sanctus earlyer in life. Sanctus did not mind the change as he was almost never in his room anyway, he was outisde by himself playing around with his sticks, he was even able to one time charge the stick up with chakra. but when he tried to relise it, it propelled into the house and broke a window, witch earned Sanctus a severe beating. Sanctus's prime intrests at this point was learning what the "blue stuff" is about and how to get more, he was getting tired the bigger he got becuase of the amount of chakra needed, one could say this is when hsi "adickion" to chakra started. he would start mediateing for hours on end and then staying up all night glowing all night. the brightest he has ever gotten was one time at a clan meeting he almost blinded the preist becuase he was embaressed of the mockign words the cruel people around him were saying. the longest talk with his father about what he was soposed be started like any normal cnvosation "hello father, how are you today?" Sanctus sat in the wooden chair next to his father, looking at the tabe for something he can eat as his father read up on the currnt events, grunting a bit as Sanctus talked and smiled a bit about his son being consered, but not wanting him to worry so much about other people at the same time "i am fine Sanctus..but you dont have to ask, alright?" Sanctus nodded, not understanding why he would not want him to care so much, he loved his father, then it suddenly struck him that his father was the only one ever to tall him by his real name, not by his aparent tidail of Templar, he was still Sanctus to him. this made him smile happily up at his dad. "why am i called "Templar" father?" thsi amd e his father scoff a bti, looking at him and finnail putting down his paper, knowing this was somthing he needs to actuaily wake up to talk about, rubbing his eyes and sighing heavily. leaning hsi arm onto the tabel and smiling at his son, looking him over, hsi hair long and blond still, eyes a light blue like the sky, if the damn thing was nto clouded over so much. he put a hand on his neck and rubbled hsi sons check, thinking of his answer. "do you have that crest still, Sanctus?" Sanctus seemed confused at this question to answwer his own question, but went along with it, hoping that his father knew what he was doing, nodding and taking out his crest, still on the necklace he was givem his father taking it firmily from his hands and smiling, looking it over and thinking more about what he will say, hoping it makes seince to his child. "well...this symbol is the one of our clan...you are a Templar becuase you put this symbol first before anything else, no matter what, you enfroe the thoughts and belifs of the clan, do whatever you can to do the clan good, wwithout any remorse...without any forgieness, you do not hold anny corperation or village in your hreart first, they will misguide you in the end...You are called Templar becuase you hold the beliefs of your people first...and you where born into thsi word to do so and so it shall be done" Sanctus nodded, proud that he had this chance in his life to serve his clan, without really understanding still but he will fill in the blanks on hsi own time. he then looked at his father again and tilts his head in confuseion. "why am i the only one in thsi clan that must take ont he horrnor of doing this on my own? i mean, i know i'm just a little kid but i just dont see why it has to be me.." Sanctus's father sighed, about to get to his papper when he heard his son speak, closing hsi eyes and jsut looking at his son in the eyes, thinking up something witty to egt the kid off hsi back for no. failing to come up with anything he just sighs and bes blunt. "You are the Templar becuase the clan wants you to be, the more questions you ask the more risky the idea becomes, you just do what you can to train and when your older you will go to the acadomy to train even more, but this timee with a teacher" Sanctus sighs but dares not to maon any futher about it, going into his brothers rooma nd playing with his 1 year old brother, whom was crawling in his crip, happy about being touched. playing wwith the baby for sevral minutes untill his father came in, looking upset "put the baby in the pen Sanctus, you should know better then that." Sanctus's first reaction was of corse to feaze, then standing up and quickly following the orders given to him, frowning and letting his head hang as he walked out of his brothers room slowly, going to his room and sitting on his bed, meditateing and calming himself down, hoping to god that the baby doesnt start crying again. only to hear it start to squel out and cry. Sanctus's sigh could be mimiced by everyone else in the house, his mother moving in to take caare of the beby and hopefully putting it to sleep. Sanctus's eyes being sewn shut as he tries to sleep, plastered with sweat as he did not have AC in his house and the humidity could kill. he drifted off into a deep sleep and let his dreams take him

Chapter 2: off to school!:

Sanctus woke up like any regular 6 year old child would, exept this tim,e the day was difrent! no longer will eh ahve to fight to survive the horrors of the lacking AC house all day, nor will he have to sit though lectures at his clan meetings every noon! he will be off to the acadomy in mist! Sanctus's confidence grew even bigger as he gathered his own ninja poutch, given to him as a orintantion gift from the acadomy. he gathered his few suplys and bolted out of the door, jogging heavily to th mist village a cupple of miles away, getting exauseted quickly and running on fuses nwo, walking, sweat painting his shirt to his body as he closes his eyes and just walks blindly down the road hoping ot get there soon as he could, sighing at he thinks of all the crap he will have to go though once he is there now, new people he doessnt want to meet, new buildings and rooms he could care no less about seeing and a teacher! someone whom would be telling him to do things other then his father or the preist! the thought gave Sanctus's spine chills. he walked to the building seeing all the kid running around, sighing as he just sits and meditates, his body glowing slightly as he was off tot he side in a shaded place, a few local kids walking up to him. "And who are you?" said the bigger of the two boys, Sanctus's eyes darted open and stared at the boy and his skiny friend. looking and shaking their heads at the soposive bullies, or friends..? he smiled up at them calmly. "i am Sanctus. nice to meet you!" the boys scoffed at his kind words and just walked off, the bigger boy calling behind him "yea, see you at lunch loser!" Sanctus frowned a bit and went back to meditateing, only to be desterbed again by a girl and a boy this time, Sanctus's eyes opening again and darting at them both agresively. the boy smiled warmly and the girl cowered a bit shyly behind the boy. "Hi, i overheard your name, Sanctus, right?" Sanctus nodded a bit, still careeful not to let these people get the best of him, not wanting for a second to eb picked on againa nd having a rebuttle ready just in case. not to be made a fool of twice, the gir spoke in a soft monotone, trying to not be heard almost "I-i am a-Alex Nara..and t-this is ken.." Sanctus sighed, not seeming that in intreasted in making friends at the momment but smiled as he looked at them both, stareing into kens eyes as he smiled at him. then looking at alex, not seeing the relivance he just shrugs "well...nice to meet you both..do you have any idea on what we will be learning in there?" Ken seemed to laugh a bti at that, amking Sanctus nervus that he ahd said somthing wrong, ken shaking hsi head. "its the first day of school for all of us friend, i just hope that we have the same class, alot easiler to find friends when their in the same room, you know?" Sanctus nodded, understanding his logic. as the bell rang for the first class to start he ran in with the rest of the kids, looking at his classes it looks like he had mostly just dumb writing classes, classes where the goal is to learn about chakra management and "how the blue stuff is" the only thing that seemed a bit intreasting was the gym class. as he smiled looking over the little panflit he was given he ran intot he firm leg of what he could only hope was an ox, he looked up and saw the most sacry looking man he had ever seen in his entire life, a cold fisheyed stare cuppled with a scared uncareing face. a black suit and bowtie to match his dark complexion. the man looked down at him and scoffed, shaking his head and walking down the hall past him. leaving Sanctus woundering what the hell. he then made his why to his first class witch was, "what is chakra?" an intruduction corse into the acadomy, the children must know what the blue stuff was, right? as Sanctus sat down he looked to se who his teacher was, seeing that his teacher was a plump stout woman with a rosey red checks made him almost laugh, the rest of the class was not so disaplinded, laughing at ehr outright and cuaseing a rucuss with their friends, the plump woman taking out a yardstick and smacking it on the table in front of her, cuaseing everyone to jump nearly out of their skins, all but Sanctus, whom could care less about the threat of being pnished. he was much more consered about other things like when this stupidity ends? Sanctus just smiled and looked at the teacher, soon getting her atention that he was being a good student nd walked over smiling and giving him a small bar of candy for being the only one to do as the teacher says, she then proseded to explain the chakra system and how it works in line with the hands. Sanctus lookinga t his own hadns and getting bored already, this womens voice was like letening to a melody. he closed hsi eyes and rested a bit and woke up to the teacher smacking her yarstick on his desk abruptily. jumping up, the teacher said nothiung but otehr students where giggleing, Sanctus just closing his eyes and trying to block it out for now, not wanting to go crazy again witht he glowing like he did in the past at the church, but soon eh couldent help it! he started to glow all over and the other students watched in awe, the teached scraching her head as she has never seen this bloodline before, Sanctus just blushing and waves for her to centenue, tryign to cover up his shae by using his shirt, but that not working so well he just cluched his creast untill the end of the lession, the bell ringing to go to luntch. he walked into the lunch room and quickly regreting coming, as he saw that there was no staff memebrs in sight and the bullies from ebfore could be anywhere in the large mass of bodies, he scaned the room and noticed two fuigues at a table, one of them waving at him, he walked overto the tabel to find that it was ken! he was relized to see him and he sat down in front of him. openning up his packed lunch and eating slowly, ken smiling a bit at him as Alex find s her seat next to ken "So Sanctus how is your day going so far?" Sanctus shook his head, not wanting to talk about it as he just sits there, picking at his raman, looking upa fter awhile, alex picking at her food as well "its been ok i guess, my teacher is boreing but it will be just fine i guess" Alex nodded a bit at that, having been in the class with him, but not about to let him knwo that "well, we all have thee same gym it seems at least. that should be fun" Sanctus nodded, cant wait till he can actually do somthing with his time, the bell ringing again to go tot he gym now, wlakinng with them both made him feel safe as if he was with his clan still, walking into the gym with them, and looking around, there being a sparing arena, boxing bag, and all sorts of other exercised being laied out,t eh instructer looking over his work and at the three of them, walking up and saying plainly so they would understand "do whatever you want, just stay active" Sanctus shrged, not about to let aan offer like that go he raced offto the punchign bag, putting on some gloves and punching it, Alex running over to the meditation area to get some shut eye and en walking to the sparing ring, fighting with others for the fun of it, soon getting tired of just that Sanctus walked to the meditation area and meditated, streching out so he could help out his own chakra flow, ceaching the eye of hsi intructer and smiling happily over to him for knowing his streches. Sanctus smiled and then meditated next to Alex, whom woke up to find him next to her and making her blush a bit, ot expecting to see him so suddenly, she just acted as if she was meditatign the whole time and closed her eyes, the shadws around her flickering a bit, while the glowing light around Sanctus conflicks with it. the instructer smirking as he sees the fight of the elements, somehwat surpise by Sanctus abilitys as well as his above advrage contorl over his chkra useage, claping a bit to himself as it seems he may have a winner here, a good student for sure. Sanctus just sits and hums to himself as he meditates,s toreing up chakra as well as using it, lest he have heart problems again. after the bell rang for the last time that day he stood p, gathering his things and hurroed out the door ebfore anyone could talk to him, he had to get to the clan meeting soon to be taought more about the religion. runnign as fast as his little legs could take him over to the church the clan had build. lestening to a surman about those whom are evil. this being followed by him being stoped by the preacher on the way out, the preacher wanting to talk to him personaly. both of them sitting on the pews "i have noticed that you are much better at your chakra then most boys your age, you are gifted" "thank you sir" Sanctus sputtered out, speaking out of impulse mostly, ger to get out and go home already to see his little brother. looking at the preacher confused as to why this was important. "you know your fathr wants you to be strong, not endurent. he wants the best for you i am sure,. but you might not want him to know just yet that you are gifted in other ways than he hopes, alright?" yes sir he sputtered out again, not beliving what he was hearing, his father not wanting him for what HE is? it seemed to be a curel lie! but he trusted his reverend as well and so for his safty he went home and acteda s though he was still normal child. he went to bed and woke up the next day to do the whole thing over again, he had the habbit of glowing still but it was harmlss for everyone and was considered ok by the instructers to do so, a good thing considering he has no choice when he does it most times. he woke up one day however ona particuler day, the day of his first fight, Sanctus woke up like any old day, walking to his school calmly but thsi time he made a mistake of bumbing into the old bullies from ebfore, at this point he knew their names, zen and mike. mike being the small one and zen the b igger one, zen turned around seeing Sanctus and laughed laodly, as if it was a war now. pushing Sanctus down and kicking his legs, Sanctus standing up quickly ebfore he can and punched zen in the face hard, his knuckles poping as he made contact, all his time spent boxing making his punches strong enough to actually drop him to the ground, shaking his head in amazment, not expecting a fight and crying out for help, the gym instructer coming in and taking zen to the neruse, the dean walking in and frowning at Sanctus, taking him to hsi office, being punished for the fight with in school suspention, ahving tos end the entire day with a staff memebr, Sanctus sighed heavily, shrugign as he thought that it coudlent be that bad, that is untill he walked into the room to see that he was the only one witht he suspention and the man watching himw as the scaary man from before! he sat his desk with a pios smirk on his face, motionign him to sit down, Sanctus obligeing as he did not have much choice, suddenly unable to do anything, "in this room, jutsus on the students are allowed, so dont even trya nd excape." the man smirked and used the jutsu on him to bring him over to the chair in front of his desk and made him sit, there he did his regular buisness as usual and just watched to make sure Sanctus did nothing fun at all, Sanctus just sighing an dclosing his eyes and meditateing. thinking over how if this is worth it or not, he just trained more on hsi chakra, hoping that maybe some day his chakra capsity will be one that will go down in legeions! that however was just a pipe dream for now. he drifted off to sleep, the staff member not careing, as if he ahd stuff he wants him to do anyway, he could care less about a fight, he just cut him loose afterschool and sent him on his way home,Sanctus sighing as he martches home bred, meditates and gos to bed again, all thsi mediataion so far being hsi own real training has ade him grow werry, and he hopes that int eh future he actually can train train. he woke up in the middle of the night that night and walked slowly outside, smelling the thick hot humid air that he had grown to love so much near his home, he looked out to the moon and starts and smiled, knowing that when he grows up, he will still be a Templar despite what the others might think! it is irrelivant what they think of him! he will endure ether way and becoem one of the most chakra gifted men in the world. he spet that night glwoing violently in the yard, making people call to complin the whole night mad ehim feel as though he was akomplishiong something now as he figured the real training needed to begin and there was no better starting place then now. he smiled up at the the sunrise and closed his eyes to the vary fair brease that came in vary rarely. the hot air making him sweat more. hsi little body already small for his age, and as the weekend now rolled around for the next few days, he was found by his parents sleeping in the frony lawn facing the sunrise, and was put to bed propery after witch, snuggling up in his bed for the night, as nxt stop was the graduation, witchwas right around the cornor for him! he was late in the acadomy when this happend, and was about to egt the headband, witch he will now have to wait a few weeks to get butwill get none the less. the only thing stoping him now was that dirty evil teacher that seemed to him that teacher was after him, and might actually hurt him by the end, and of corse his own family, they where overbareing all the time and it killed him tot hink t but he would eb easyier without them, he fed himslef he does everything himslef now becuase of all the damn expectations to be a Templar, something that holds no real political standing in the worl and THATS what he must be? it seemed crazy but, what must be done will be done and if it must be done b him then it will be, he was 12 years old and now soon, he will get his headband and earn a place in a team! he smiled and closed his eyes shut. dreaming of fame within his caln for his loyalty, and he dreamed of ken and Alex, his now worthwhile friends. and he dreamed of his parents, and what they have done for him, and he lets his dreams take him for now

Chapter 3: Graduation: part 1: the test

"And THAT class, if how you perform a replacement jutsu!" The gym teacher shouts out, presenting to Sanctus to the class, Sanctus had preformed a perfect replacement jutsu using a chair in the room, sighing a bit to himself and breathing quickened only a tiny bit, standing up strait and saluting the instructor as the rest of the large class claps slightly. It was a week before graduation starting now. And most of his peers where pumped to get out of this bland, boring and confiding prison. Fidgeting in one's seat was common at this point as everyone seems to have dreams of getting their headband and getting out into the world. Sanctus is definitely one of these people. He spent his free time in every class charging up chakra, unforechantely his grades suffered from the lack of focus. However he was a smart kid and when the grind came to full swing, he was ready. The bell rang to go to lunch before the exams started, anyone who fails will stay, and those who pass become honorary genin! Who at that age wouldn’t want to get out of here? After the exams they would be graded and the results won’t come for the next week. Until then the students have jutsu training classes the whole week to insure that they can perform the bare basics of jutsus as perfectly as they can. Which makes since, I mean, why would anyone want a weak ninja to do their bidding? Since the rank of jutsu was so low, any E ranked jutsu must be learned as soon as they can be.
In the lunch room Sanctus was for the most part quite, sitting at the same table that he has sat in since he was a child. Smiling as he saw his friends walk over with their trays, the loud clap of the hard plastic trays hitting the metal table making a stranger near them jump a bit as he did to expect to hear that so abruptly. This silly notion that he would be so jump making ken laugh a bit “hey kid! Don’t worry we are not going to hurt you!” Ken laughed loudly, never one to worry about looking like an ass in front of people. “K-ken, Sit down before you draw more attention to yourself” Alex tried to implore, but was cut off by Ken’s load and unnecessary laughing. Sighing as she was ignored and so she looked over at Sanctus. “So, I suppose you’re the hero of the class, hm?” Sanctus smiled and nodded vary slightly, looking back down to his food and taking his chopsticks, tearing them apart and beginning to eat his meal before the convocation got embarrassing. Ken sitting down and looking at the thick mist outside, sighing as he always hated the weather. “Crappie weather again, as always...Ugg why do we even really live in the mist village? Everything is damp and if it’s made of wood it just warps, if it’s made of metal, it rusts. This village shouldn’t have even bothered to become industrialized.” These comments resulted in a stinging smack on the face by Alex, hoping to get him out of his rant “if you keep talking like that you could be killed! So please ken, settle down” Ken sighed and nodded a bit. Not wanting to get hit again, Sanctus laughs as he is disciplined by possibly one of the shyest girls in the academy. How she was also one of the smartest. At least one can say so; she has done tests in strategy classes and passed them all with flying colors so far completely. Alex looks around hoping that no one saw her act out and ate her food silently, Sanctus laughing a bit in amusement. “You know, if you act out more Alex, people will actually look at you more” Alex laughing playfully and using her chopsticks to fling a bit of food at him “and THAT’S what I don’t want.” She then giggled a bit blushing. The food hitting Sanctus’s shirt making him look down and try and fling off the food from him, sighing as a stain was left anyway. And looks at her blushing a bit. “H-hey! What was that all about, huh?!” the bell rang for them to get to their testing room and he sighed, Alex gigging and ken laughing his head off, the team running off to get to their exam rooms to take their test.

Sanctus sitting in the last row in the far left, mostly so the teacher is not distracted by the constant glowing this boy would put off, Alex sitting in the vary front of the room and ken sitting in the far right in the middle. The papers where passed out one by one by the teacher, hinting that the tests were made pacifically for the individual student, which will make cheating imposable, it makes since, as this is the most important part of a young ninja’s life, the beginning of their life was dependent on this test. Sanctus almost just shook his head no. the templar road did not seem to need to involve this. But he had to do what he had to do to rise to the ranks in his village to gain political importance as well as fighting power, which he still had little of anyway. Sanctus looked down when he got his test and sighed, he already seemed to be lost, but there was still some that he seemed to know just fine, when he was sleeping he had a good memory. However he was no super intelligent boy, that was Alex’s job to be the smart one, he took his pen and sighed, answering the questions as well as he can every one of them seeming stupid but he had to answer them so he did as he was told, suddenly the teacher started to speak, surprising Sanctus and making him jump a bit to attention, growing to be afraid of the instructors and not just respectful. “Alright class, this is your test that you need to pass in order to move on to genin rank. If you fail this then you will have to restart the entire year. And no one wants that less than I do, so do well! And good luck to all” after speaking Sanctus did the only thing he could do, read the questions. The test seemed to have 10 questions on it. Sanctus just sighed and started the test; it was simply just another test to him, as the clan was the only real care he had in the world, the clan and his family, to protect and to serve. At all costs that what he knew was his real duty, never the less he can do nothing for anyone if he was there sitting around for an hour and failing the test he needs to complete his goals! He finally took a look at the first question.
“What is a kunai?”Sanctus laughed to himself at how stupid the question seemed to be, kunai was a throwing knife also used for close combat when another weapon is unavailable, he wrote that quickly down the paper and snickered at how easy this was being so far, the second question however was one that threw him off.
“there are 4 kunai all attached to 1 line of 10 feet of ninja rope going in 4 separate angels for 3 feet each, how is this possible?”Sanctus sighed and thought for a moment, and smiled, writing down that if the ninja wire was in a circle, the kunai could travel in separate directions and still be attached. Again smiling as he thought that he was being clever so far, the next question seemingly being about morals.
“Your teammate is wounded in the words; you have no medical tape and no way to call for help, what do you do?” This to Sanctus seemed simple, he wrote down that he would carry his teammate to safety; he is a member of your team and therefore must be kept safe when you are safe. Sanctus was starting to wonder what was with these open ended questions, and smiled when simple true or false answers came up
“Some evil is necessary”
Sanctus looked somewhat confused shaking his head and marking false, thinking that NO evil is ever necessary, EVER. And the fact that the test was asking this made Sanctus uncomfortable, never the less, he moved on with it. Reading the next question
“Are you for sale as a ninja?”As a ninja Sanctus knew the answer to this question, yes as a ninja he is for sale, he checked yes, when suddenly and abruptly a slam could be heard from the bottom of the room, it was one made from Alex’s things as they dropped on the ground, she blushing madly and picking them up, quickly handing her test over to the teacher and running out the door. Sanctus was tilting his head a bit and sighing, people around laughing and the instructor doing nothing about it. Just sighing and waiting for it to be over, which was much like how Sanctus himself thought, he just sighed a s well and looked at the paper, thinking about what was going on around him, he stared at the clock and saw that he still have about a half hour left, smirking a bit as he saw he was getting done quickly as well. Waiting a long 5 minutes until figuring he might as well move on with the test, lest he be left behind and get late on it, wouldn’t want to fail still now, he looked down at his paper and sighed again at the stupidity of the question. So much so that he couldn’t stand it and just answered them all quickly, unable to remember them after, looking up at the teacher and the clock he saw he still had 10 minutes left, looking over to where kens appearing to be under stress and sweating quite a bit, this making Sanctus uneasy, for if ken fails there is no use in progressing, ken looked around widely, as if trying to find someone, most likely Alex, as he did not see her leave, as amazing as that is however. Sanctus just sighed and shook his head, looking at his Nabors next to him, whom was looking at Sanctus and shrugging, as if to say he doesn’t understand the confusion ether. Sanctus laughing a bit at it and turning his head at the teacher, standing up finally and walking to the front of the room, handing in his test and walking outside to enjoy the rest of his day, knowing that now there was nothing more to do then to go home and enjoy his day, witch if that wasn’t hard enough he also had to babysit his brother probably, AGAIN. As Sanctus walked outside he was starting to glow, walking over to the side and thinking at it, staying away from the door so people wouldn’t find him hopefully, thinking about what ken was ranting eerily about the mist village being so horrible, and shrugging a bit, I mean, it was not so bad once one got used to it, the slavery is alright for repaying debts, no one stayed a slave for long, they died or where set free when they repay their debts. As he sat there thinking he saw that he could no longer move, trying to look up and soon seeing that he can’t, his eyes widening a bit as Alex smiles, walking over giggling “and what are YOU doing Mr.?” she blushed a bit but was overall alright around him by now, smirking as she let him free, Sanctus looking at her angrily, sighing when she set him free however “you don’t scare me like that again alright! That was varying mean of you! I mean it…damn that was mean” Alex seems shocked suddenly by his bad language, smacking him a bit for swearing “and where did you learn that from huh? Its vary bad to swear” Sanctus sighed as he saw now that it was him that was the bad one here apparently, shaking his head on how easily it can turn from her bad to his. Looking at her with a raised eyebrow, then laughing a bit “what are you laughing about?! Say you’re sorry!” she pouts, wanting to make him sorry if he doesn’t do it himself, Sanctus sighing and nodding “I am sorry Alex, please forgive me..?” Alex smiled to hear the convincing apology and nodded happily, hugging him tight and Sanctus doing the same for her, smiling and looking at her after the hug “well, I must go soon, must babysit my pampered brother after class, which will be in about thirty minutes, don’t you have to be home soon as well?” Alex smiled shyly and nodded a bit, looking at him and blushing after he broke the hug feeling just a little hurt but hiding it easily with her smile Sanctus taking it that she was alright and smiled, looking at his hands and shrugged, then looking at the academy’s clock to see what time it is, it being about 10minutes until the school gets out for his now nine year old brother. He sat on a bench and watched the clock, Alex walking her way home and leaving Sanctus to deal with the kid, smiling and waiting for him to come storming out as the bell rang. Sitting down and meditating to Jake can pretend he is bothering something important, running up and shoving Sanctus as hard as he can to try and wake him up, Sanctus laughing a bit and looking at his brother, standing up and taking his hand, walking home calmly and looking around out the outside world as he did, the air being shrouded by fog outside of the village where they live. Coughing a bit as Jake it seems have given Sanctus his cold, which was a lovely addition to the high pressure which now hit on his head like a hammer, he thought that today was not a very good day to be training, not figured he probably will later tonight anyway. Smiling as he started to walk up the hill, seeing the farmland that was his mothers, surprised to see that his mother was not out tending the fields at this time of day, the best time of the day and it was being spent somewhere else other then farming? That did not seem much like his mother at all! Sanctus took Jakes hand harder and started to jog a bit, Jake complaining now about his hand hurting from it and sighting as he knew he was being ignored by his older brother now. Wanting to get his attention but soon as he saw that he was serious about something he quieted down

Part 2: intro to evil:

Ok, so here is when the story really starts to pick up speed, all his live have been a training session for his chakra, and a credit to that is the built up chakra and constant use of it though his body making him glow faintly all the time, well today he now is faced with his first real evil, and it won’t be his last.

As Sanctus jogged over to the house now, wanting to know what was going on he started getting more and more worried, his parents followed a struck schedule, and his father should be out working on the house like h is every day, just like his mom should be maintaining the field, he looked around the outside and saw that nothing was even touched from the building equipment, he turned to his brother “ok, you stay here, got it? STAY HERE” Jake looked up frighten and nodded slightly, Sanctus going to the back of the house and looking in slowly though the window, not seeing anything and walking around, the house was not yet completely but it had four walls and a roof, but no porch or deck, which was what his father was supposed to be working on, h went around the whole house and saw nothing there sighing a bit in relief as he thought he was safe, he went to the front door and walked in, looking around seeing things in the living room were knocked down, and there where slashes on the walls and burn marks all over one corner of the room, he seemed very confused, it was as though a skirmish of some kind went on here. He walked into the kitchen and stopped, shocked at what he saw, outside one of the clan grandmasters and their solders, telling the boy it will be alright and sending him to the temple, the grandmaster walking in to find Sanctus standing in front of what looked like a bandit to Sanctus but was actually just a low ranked missing nin, his headband having a slash though it to represent his rebellion, the grandmaster shook his head as he had a katana and it had the blood of his parents on it, in front of him was Sanctus, scared out of his mind and having no idea the grandmaster was there, which was actually the priest from his early childhood, as the missing nin started to advance on them the grandmaster charged and threw a beam of light that went though his heart, killing him instantly right there, Sanctus had at this point fallen to the ground in grief over his now dead loved ones, wondering why this was done! Sanctus looked up and saw the man laying dead in front of him, the grandmaster taking his up in his warm soft embrace and walking him out of the door and to the temple, where all will be explained.

Once at the temple Sanctus was let down by the grandmaster and got to sit down on a couch next to his brother, the grandmaster sitting down and sighing, thinking of a way to brake this out to them both so they can understand death and the need to kill in the eyes of some people. And now that he is their guardian he must break that to them as well as that they will both be on training programs to train them in the skills that they want. He choice to wait for now and just looked them over, hoping that they were not at all physically injured by the missing nin, once noticing that they were alright he went on, opening his mouth for the first time “I bet you are both wondering what happened today and how it will effect things.” Sanctus immediately felt insulted by this comment, OF CORSE he wants answers for why his parents are DEAD and he also wants to know how he couldn’t save them! All of these thought running though Sanctus’s head made his head spin, why couldn’t they be saved?! This was the question running though his head, his face red with anger as tears streamed down his face, his brother also crying into Sanctus’s chest, looking at the grandmaster shortly after “W-what do you think Mr.?” was the only proper words he could spit out though his tears. The grandmaster sighing and nodding at that, thinking that it was a good question and was given for good reason. “Well, you both know by now WHAT happened, but why is a story, you see, the mist village is a very violent village and so killing can become often, I can guarantee you no one can harm you in the walls of the village, but on the outside, you are venerable, your parents took that risk for the land to farm, but in the end it was not worth it, as you understand now, please know that this should not dictate your lives. Much worse has happened to people before Sanctus; you can work though this and become stronger in the end.” Sanctus shook his head, unable to believe this was happening, just begging for it all to go away now, but he was still there, and he clutched his crest on his chest, breathing heavily but starting to calm down from crying, his little brother sniffling in his coat, Sanctus looked at him and sighed, thinking more logically now “so who will take care of us?” the grandmaster nodded, happy he brought that up on his own “I will be your teacher now, since you have graduated Sanctus, Jake however will learn clan jutsus in his own time, we are thus seeking permission to withdraw you from your studies at the academy” Jake looked up and nodded at that, sighing a bit as he talks, sniffling as he looks at him his face red and innocent looking, as if it was innocence that was shattered completely in one cruel swoop. The grandmaster nodded and stood up, motioning to the door to show them to their rooms “tomorrow you will begin your chakra training Sanctus and Jake you will begin clan jutsu training as well, one of my soldiers will take care of it don’t worry. For now just sleep tight and try and stay calm, we will work thought his together, trust me.” As he said those cold, soulless words Sanctus closed the door behind him, sighing and going to his bed, putting Jake to bed with him across the room, the beds separated by the entire room. If not to only insult their loneliness they both felt now.

The next day he woke up to the sound of bells chiming in the wind, he stood up, got his gear ready and walked out when he relived it was his day off today! While they grade the exams he was free, he then went to his room and suddenly remembered he was not free, he was in the temple and in the hands of his loving clan, but without his parents he was not truly carefree anymore, he twitched in anger and kicked his bed. Walking out to almost run into the grandmaster whom nodded and motioned for Sanctus to follow him, walking down the hall and going into a training room “this is where you will be training your chakra, you will do whatever you like, but do it well and bulk up your chakra base by using as much as you can!” the grandmaster smiled and stroked his long beard, walking out f the room and leavening Sanctus to do as he pleases, shrugging as he does and just walking down the hall to wake his brother, Sanctus standing in the room and walking over to what looks like a hollow poll, or rather many hollow polls of different sizes, the instructions say to stand a certain way and pump chakra into the poll until it fills, and then hold it, this will expel chakra like crazy and could kill if he was not careful, he went over to the second to largest one and griped it, pumping chakra into it as hard as he could and as fast as he could, not feeling much stress about it until he had to hold it, he sat there holding it for about 10 seconds before almost falling down, laughing and picking himself back up and he goes to the meditation setting and mediates for an hour, waking up and going over to another one, where one must charge up chakra in their feet and step on the water, standing over the water, and then just stand there as long as they can, this was going to be harder because he did not have good balance nor did he know how just to do that. He sighed and tried just stepping on the water, finding that that won’t work simply he tried charging up chakra into his feet and jumping I, it not working out so well as he couldn’t hold himself up, splashing into the pool of water coughing up water and climbing out of the pool, changing into a gym clothing shaking his head as his hair was now wet, he wanted to try something more simple, so he went over to the raw chakra booster exercise again, pumping in chakra into the smallest one and holding, feeling the burn after about one minute, and stopping it completely at three he smirked and rested up for another hour, planning on keeping this up for as long as he can, thinking that now his plan was full prove he stood up and the grandmaster walked in, smiling at Sanctus happily “I see you are getting at it, good, I just wanted to say that I am very proud of your determination, and I wanted to ask you if you still want to be a templar?” Sanctus thought a moment on this before answering quickly “yes, my father wanted me to be a templar and so I shall be...That must be my way no matter what happens” the grandmaster smiled and nodded, “that is good, you must be able to endure though such hardships and still maintain your beliefs...” after that the grandmaster left him, Sanctus thinking that he wanted a really challenge now, walking up the biggest one of the polls and griping his hands tightly around it as well as he could and expelling the chakra directly into it as fast as he could and holding it, his hands glowing and soon n his whole body for the amount of focus he was putting into the poll, smirking as the poll suddenly had a huge crack down its mid section from the overloading of chakra, much like his heart did when he was a baby. Smirking more as he let go, looking at his hands and seeing they where bleeding, sighing and shaking his hands, trembling as he saw that he was bleeding bad and that shards of the hard plastic were in his hands, running out and calling for help , going to the medical center to be treated for his wounds, bandages being put around his hands and putting him out for several days, when he came back from his rest, his hands looked and felt just fine, and the equipment was back to normal, but he had a whole new respect for the things he could do, he tried the other r practice again, focusing chakra into his feet and then expelling it down as he stepped on the water, using it as stilts, smiling as it seemed to work, but the whole pond seemed to flattened s if it was solid, he walked around on it, soon seeing that he had used too much chakra, and thus made the top layer solid almost, laughing to himself, knowing it was not a solid, and that he would need some kind of ice power to do that, but that did not stop him from thinking that he was powerful enough to finally start doing some real cool things, and he was no longer just sustaining his own body with chakra, but he could do things like put chakra into hollow objects. He smiled and looked around for new proactive he could do finding a type of “ring the bell” type of game, which had ninja wire with different sizes around and put under different tightening, the goal being to send chakra though the wire to ring the bell, Sanctus smirked at the challenge and grabbed the wire that seemed the weakest and sent chakra down it, ringing the bell easily. The grabbing the hardest one and soon saw that he was not quite strong enough to try that out, the pressure making the chakra very hard to move though it, grabbing one somewhere in the middle and sending chakra down that slowly, ringing the bell but not without breaking a sweat. Sighing and shaking his head as he looked around for more things to try, finding nothing quite yet, thinking that he might make a request to expand onto his place more to the grandmaster later. Smiling and jogging to the polls again and doing the weakest one, trying to use as little chakra as possible and hold it as long as he can, being able to hold it for a full five minutes before letting go because his hands where hurting at that point, he sighed and took off his shirt, his wings stretching out and h looked at them, nodding a bit, as they have grown a lot large over the last year, however he still could not fly with them vary far at all, he sighed and flapped them a bit to give them some time, lifting himself off the ground a few inches and practicing with the poll to gain some more chakra bulking, thinking over the past few days, knowing that soon now he will get his headband and maybe never see Alex and ken again, sighing and just knowing deep in his gut he will never see one of them again, but is unsure who it will be to go, they where both great friends and it would be a very bad thing to see them go but at the same time what must be done must be done, in the end it is the clan that he serves, he knows this and so does the grandmaster, even though he has said in the past that he wishes Sanctus had more friends he knows that it would be a useless endeavor for his life, Sanctus will in the end have no friends, most likely no wife, and so far Sanctus seemed ok with this reality, he was a servant of the religion, he trusted only in his god and will do anything if it is in his name, if it spreads his word, Sanctus fell to the ground softly and sighed, getting very tired after all the events that have happened so recently, he walked into his room slowly, looking over at his brother in bed and smiled, walking over to his own bed and snuggling up in under the covers, closing his eyes and just letting his dreams take him.

Finally that day has come! The day to get his headbands has finally come for Sanctus. He woke up in the temple like it was just some normal day, at the vary brake of dawn then the mist outside was just starting to lighten up a little and walked into his training room. Although the wounds he had suffered put hi m out of training, he still had been working on his writing studies for how things in the world works, he had learned from his clan more about what is considered evil in the eyes of the grandmaster and how he should handle any given scenario, he was getting good at planning things out and using his chakra to his best advantage. As he saw that the day has come for his team and his headband to be claimed he leaped for joy, grabbing his white robe and his gear he will need for his first mission, smiling at his grandmaster as he walked into the room slowly, smiling and nodding at him “Today is your big day Templar, good luck.” The grandmaster then walked past him to wake his brother, Sanctus only a tad upset now because he was called templar yet again by some one who was to look after him, he liked it as a tidal but as a name it was a true label of what he must be no matter what. He understood that he must be the templar for his clan, which is what his father had always envisioned in his head for Sanctus to grow up to become, but still, he wanted some choice in the matter. He just shook his head and ran out into the mist, now that he lived in town his walk was not vary far from the school and as he walked onto the grounds he saw that no one as outside, it became apparent that he was to just go inside and to his class, which confused him a bit, guessing that he had fallen asleep for that part of the insufferable lecture the teacher was giving. He walked inside slowly to see if he can spot his friends when he ran into a mob of people at the head of which was the dean whom was trying to explain something. “alright, calm down everyone, I know you are all very much in a hurry to move on, however there has been a problem with the shipment of headbands, it seems as though we have only enough for 5 teams to make it this year, so in order to pick who gets what, we are holding a tournament in which all 30 of you will fight in teams of three. And fight in a small sparing tournament held in the gym, I know this was not the plan and we normally only use sparing tournaments for chunin exams, but what must be done must be done, also note that for the first time in history, an ENTIRE class has passed, and that class is yours, pat yourselves on the back. Now if you wish to see your test scores they will be handed out to you along with your headband, again this is not normally the procedure but we want you as able as you can be, and we don’t want the scored to demoralize anyone. This will only take a few hours of your day out and after that you may go about your business, those who do not get their headband will be forced to restart the year” well that hardly seemed fair, if you passed the test you should get a headband, this made Sanctus feel as though this was acted out. However everything the dean said seemed acted out though just a script and nothing more, he was never very good at emotion. And so his bland monotone was very hard to take to heart, as he ushered them into the gym everyone stood in a line on the fall wall, and was instructed by the gym teacher to form up into groups, which was simple for Sanctus as Alex “coincidently” wound up right next to him and Ken was never hard to find, as everyone seemed to be bothering him to join their group, as they knew if it was a fight, ken could do it, but rather then that he joined his real friends Sanctus and Alex, both of them smiling at Ken happily Sanctus laughing a bit and extending his hand to Ken “Hello Ken, people seem to like you a bit more, and hello to you Alex, you always seem to find me before I find you….” Ken laughed a bit and Alex blushed slightly and hid it with her jacket, sighing and her shadow flickering a bit, Ken leaning on the wall and nodding “so, it looks like we are going to be in the same team after all guys, I can’t wait! After this is over we will be able to go out and help people with our missions!” Alex sighed a bit at his over dramatic ways, knowing that we will only be able to go so far in helping out with simple rank D missions. “we will do just fine work yes Ken, but for now we have to focus on just GETTING ort headbands, even you can’t take three of these students at once. “ Ken nodded intently, eager to prove his strength. While Sanctus just sighed and looked at his hands, the starting to glow a bit, smirking ass he seems to be having more control over his chakra with how much of it he now has, and getting bulkier by the day. Smirking at the gym instructor started to speak, seeing that everyone has gotten into their teams “alright now it is time to pair up, everyone put your names on a piece of paper and give it to me, I will put it in a cup and pull them out two at a time, the names on the slips will then face off against each other.” Everyone wrote down there name in a hurry, wanting to get to the fighting get their headbands and get out, 4 other teachers, all seeming the other gym teachers and substitute gym teachers. Most likely to make sure not real injures are sustained during the fight, ken, Alex and Sanctus walking to their mat after their names where called, looking across at their opponents, the 3 ninja’s where triplets and each shared the name clone, even though they are three separate people. They were known well around town for their abilities in teamwork and will surely show that here. Sanctus smirked a bit and looked to his left to see Alex, having her shadow ready to advance o one of them while Ken got ready to charge, Sanctus building up chakra into his hands the instructor watching them clapping his hands for them to start, Alex sending her shadow, and locking one in place, ken smirking as he trusted himself onto one, the one being able to hold his ground and clutches ken’s fists in his hands, pushing agents him, Sanctus smirking, being the smallest one in the group coming in handy at time like this, running behind ken and laughing, Ken getting the hint and ducking suddenly, the triplet falling forward and not being about to get out of the way of the flash right in his face, stepping back as Sanctus preformed a hand seal making 10 needles fall around him, him taking them one after another and lunching it at the same clone, while ken went after to help Alex whom had one of them coming after her, the one having the needles lunched into him, falling to the ground out of commission, dazed by the flash and knocked down by the needles Sanctus turning quickly and sending the last two at the one that could not move, smirking as they landed into his chest and Alex letting him go at the same time as he falls down, ken now easily able to throw the last one out of the ring with relative power needed, all three of them looking at the gym instructor whom looked impressed, he thought for sure it would at least take longer let alone them actually winning over the cloned brothers. Never the less they did win and so he took out a case with their three headbands in it, also taking out their test scores, the name of their new teacher and where they are supposed to meet with him. Sighing as he picked up all three of them and walked out to head to the school medical Nin. Soon after coming back to watch the other fights, Sanctus opening his scroll up to see how much he passed by seeing that he scored a 80%, sighing a bit and just putting it away, looking at his headband and smiling happily, putting it on his head proudly and then looking at ken, whom was eyeing him as well, but maybe not for the same reason most nin would be. Shrugging he then looked at Alex whom had put hers on her waist as a belt, smiling happily as it fit her well and then moving on to walk out the door, talking ken by the hand and Sanctus just following silently behind, them doing outside and seeing that they have a few hours before they meet up with their teacher. Sanctus figuring this was as good a time as ever to mediate while they talk. Alex and Ken blabbering on about something that Sanctus couldn’t make out, he was mediating at this point, same place as he always does, as it is the only dry area he can do anything in really. Noticing that both ken and Alex sounded as though they were in a bit of stress, not the bad kind but the kind when one likes another when their little, puppy love, Sanctus understood this from his love with his brother when he was little was more a material thing then a actual love. Sanctus shrugged as it did not concern him, he still however found it funny how Alex likes Ken, and how Ken likes Alex despite never doing anything other than just talking at school and having a good time there. Then again he supposed love can spring from anywhere, if one could call it real love. Sanctus just shrugged a bit and mediated, glowing more and smiling, knowing he still has about an hour to wait until he should go inside and meet his teacher, the other fights did not matter much to him as it did not matter whom else would be accepted, they will just die as well eventually. As he looked up about 20 minutes later he saw Alex was blushing madly and so was ken, laughing a bit but not enough to disturb them, putting his hands together and saying a quick prayer, hoping that whatever was making them happy lasts forever, despite his logical mind knowing that it probably won’t happen, he spent the next few minutes thinking about his training and what it will do to help him, what will happen when he becomes fully powerful? Will his power corrupt who he is like in tales he has read in his holy book. These are the things that made him interested. He grabbed out his 5 feet of ninja wire he got and tied it to two nearby trees, trying to flow chakra though it and smiling when the wire glows, now just going to try and hold it until he couldn’t anymore. Wanting to train and bulk up his chakra more. Sighing as he found it was too easy, so he them started to fill the trees themselves with chakra as well at the same time though the wire, the trees starting to glow vary faintly and soon making Sanctus tired, happily giving up, happy he got them to glow at all. Sighing and sitting down slowly, resting up again before their new teacher time shows up around the corner, he could not go home now because soon he will have to meet him and after that they will have to go on a rank D mission for the day. The thought making Sanctus shake his head in disapproval, not wanting to do missions forced upon him by some faceless figure the kage. Shrugging a bit as he thought that if he did not do it then he was just as much of a bad man as the missing Nin was that did not want to do as he was told ether. That thought made him shiver and he was submissive again, wanting to just get this mission over with and get home to do his training again. Sighing a bit to calm down and focus on his current objective, to learn about his teacher and get to do that mission. Finally it seemed as though it was almost time to go in again, walking up to the two love birds and motioning to go inside now, walking in and going to the room that he was said he needed to go to according to the paper he was given. Alex and ken holding hands behind him as if he did not know what was going on, laughing a bit Sanctus walked into he room and sat down, ken and Alex sitting on the other end of the room talking more, Sanctus tilted his head a bit as he saw that he was actually a bit late, and the teacher has yet to arrive, he sighed, hoping not to get one of those boring teachers at least, one that never shows up is a good one by his standards. He looked up slowly as the door started to open and the teacher walked in.

The teacher walked in. he had slandered ninja apparel for a mist jounin, making Sanctus sigh loudly, just as he feared, a boring sensei, perfect end to his boring academy life was not a boring ninja life he could see ahead. Ken and Alex however seemed happy and that was enough for Sanctus, he then looked at his face and saw that this man was a hyuuga, he could tell by his white eyes. Sanctus sat back in his chair and waited for the man to introduce himself “hello, I am your teacher for now, until you become jounin yourselves hopefully you will be with me. Any problems can be taken up with me after we are done here, however for now I would like to learn a bit about you all, your likes, your dislikes, your hopes and your dreams, and all that other stuff you want to share.” Sanctus nodded a bit and spoke out first, mostly to get it out of the way. “I am Sanctus, my likes are training and my dislikes are any evil in this world. My goals are to become a templar for my clan and my dreams are of becoming a” my name is ken! My likes involve beating my opponents in battle, I dislike losing, and my goals I have none and dreams are for the dreamers” Alex was last and to hear her you would need a microphone, she spoke softly but the leader seemed to make out what she said, or was a good actor. Either way he then sat down and started thinking of what to do first. “Well, it is a pleasure to meet you all, we should get going on our mission, it is a simple one but still a much needed one.” Sanctus sighed and nodded, wondering what he will have to be doing this time, after years of just gym and jutsu training he was ready for something to actually challenge him physically as well as mentally. Looking up at the hyuuga and tilting his head before asking “what will be doing exactly? Do you know?” to which the teacher said “yes, you all will be babysitting dogs for your first mission... not the most fun job in the world but it is the one that you have been given, you will refer to me as sensei by the way.” The three of them nodded calmly and followed him out.

Walking across town in the mist as hard enough, but the humidity as always was a killer, hearing ken complain about it the entire time was far from fu either. Btu once we got there the task seemed easy, 3 big old lazy dogs that will just stay outside the whole time, just make sure they don’t escape and it was simple. The mission was killer boring and nothing really happened, forcing Sanctus to just meditate calmly and wait for the sensei to come by to pick them up and give them their pay. When that happed they all smile and say goodbye to one another for the day, Sanctus running to his new home to hang out with his brother for the first time in a long while and rub his headband in his face, coming home being greeted by the grandmaster and running into the bedroom, smiling and talking to his brother for a few hours, feeling very proud of himself to the point that he couldn’t believe it, the grandmaster however not liking this switch and forbidding him to wear it unless on duty. This made since to Sanctus so he followed this order to the letter, putting the headband under his bed for now until it was needed, going into his training room to train his chakra before going to bed for the night, griping the largest poll and filling it with chakra, like he always does. And holding it for a full minute before almost collapsing, shaking his head and going to mediate. Sanctus sighed as he figured that he was become too dangerous for his own good, he got up and went to the ninja wire ring the bell game, trying to run the chakra down the hardest wire and making it ring, but only after several minutes of pure focus. In which he got bored a few times and had to restart from losing focus, sighing and panting heavily when he finally did, surprise at how good he was at it. Shrugging a bit and sighing as he then started to mediate the night away, not planning on sleeping this night, the next day he went to review his status in the world. He is a genin, age twelve and had a full set up, trainer, instructor, teammates, a brother…he was very lucky, and he knew it. He stood up and went to his bed. Letting his dreams take him in yet again.

A year passed by of doing nothing but boring missions, nothing ever happened, no epicness or random encounters. Making Sanctus’s ninja career a boring one. But it was different between him and ken, whom was always hated living in the mist village, and never let up on telling people about it, most would act ether insulted or conserved, never the less it was beginning to be a problem and so he needed to be talked about it to someone, but he never will, this made Sanctus vary concerned about his safety. This was becoming more then just something he does, this was borderline becoming a traitor, and that could not be tolerated. For now however they just hope he will grow out of it
At the same time Jake has been being rebellious as well, not doing his lesions on time, being punished regularly, and overall not doing what needs to be done in order to be considered a good member of the clan, he climbed that he will not be in his brothers shadow forever, even though most in the clan knew he had no choice in the matter, as the first born and the one being trained into become a templar he will be the one over him. And petty jealousy will get him nowhere, Jake feeling cheated out of the chance to be great with all of that. And becoming more and more rebellious every day. It never really helping his studies as one could easily tell. But it did not stop him from doing so anyway. The grandmaster sighing as he always was doing these things, but on a much more controllable scale, now every day as like a fight with him.
The only really fun mission they had took place the next week, when they where gifted for all their hard work with a C- ranked mission! A very rare kindness from the jounin in charge of the missions. It was a still simple one, what needed to happen was they needed to go to the next small village over and try and try to save it from a small group of bandits that have been terrorizing the village and they finally saved up the money to pay for the whole service of just getting rid of them, there are a total of 9 and they are not ninjas but they here still a lot of them for just a small community and the village guard cannot do anything to stop them because of their own cowardice. As Ken and Alex along with Sanctus and his stress filled times with brother and Ken, but for now he was looking forward to some action, their job was simple. Wait by the gate until the bad guys show up, kick their but, and move on. Simple.
As night came so did the bugs, the bugs size of their head where not pleasant, and when the sun was gone so was Kens energy, being vary lazy after dark sighing as no one has came, they had as small fire from Sanctus’s light beam trying really hard, and even then the fire was very small. They had camped out outside of the village and all was fine until they heard the thieves wondering off the road, Sanctus hearing this and lighting up the area like fireworks to stun them, forcing them out of hiding and charging at them three in all direction with axes and what look likes mostly farming equipment. Alex throwing a kunai at one of them, hitting them in the chest and jumping on him, yanking it out at the same time as pulling out the kunai and jumping on the back of another, stabbing his back deep with the kunai and bringing him down as well. At the same time ken had a kunai in his hands and was slashing at three of them, distracting them while avoiding their slashing with the equipment, Sanctus throwing needles at stray bandits as they come, trying to hit him in non lethal area what will drop them, about dropping from their combined efforts before they all gave up and where given to the authorities to become slaves in kiri. The students proud of their work on not killing or several injuring anyone in the group while at the same time saving the town! The hyuuga sensei also seemed to be impressed as well, as he watched it all happen from the town and it seemed like good teamwork.
When Sanctus returns home to start his training again he saw something that he did not expect to see, he walked into his training room to find his brother Jake playing with the polls to try and put chakra to fill them, having a bit of trouble but able to fill the biggest one, which made Sanctus see that he was not the best one at chakra really, even his brother can do some cool stuff as well, so he slowly walked in and walked to the ninja wires, not bothering his brother as he focuses and tries to practice as well. Seeing Sanctus and stopping, scared that Sanctus might be mean to him for this, but Sanctus only smiled and looked over at him calmly, letting him do what he wants to get better, just like he wants to, afterwards they stopped to talk to each other for a bit “so Jake, how are you doing anyway? I have no talked to you in a very long time because of your schedule, missions, training sleep, redo it over again, you know?” Jake nodded in understandment, the death of their parents taking a toll on him as well, He too unable to talk much to anyone. “I know brother, I mean, we even sleep in the same room…and yet we are so far apart all the time. It’s really upsetting.” Sanctus nodded a bit, understanding as well that this can take a toll on everyone, but change them as well? “I heard that you’re not doing your studies, why is that Jake?” Jake seemed a bit scared, not wanting to make his brother upset. “I… just… I hate it here; I feel like slave locked up in this temple, I can’t go to school or go out and meet people because the grandmaster is worried that letting me out will actually let me learn something! I mean, I love our clan and I love our grandmaster like a father figure but I don’t love the things he does around here. He treats people that are not you without any care at all, and that includes me, he just sits around waiting for me to get my training done so he can nag me to do other things while I’m still exhausted, I swear he is ether out to get me or just doesn’t like me and that’s all…” Sanctus to this did not seem to understand, the grandmaster was a good guy, if not a little soulless but still a nice guy, he never would do the underhanded things he is saying, at least he wouldn’t do It to Sanctus, then again, Jake is not Sanctus and so now he is the one being pampered, witch to Sanctus sounded like a fairly good thing, but despite that he stood by his brother “well, you should tell him about you woes and maybe he will understand.” To witch Jake shook his head violently, not about to compromise on this part. “No, he will punish me for being rebellious like he always does, it is best for now to disappear and come back when he is calmed down, that’s what I usually do, and it normally works. Sanctus sighed but nodded as well, understanding how he would want to avoid a beating, but still cannot think or even begin to think that the grandmaster was a bad man, so much so that he thought that Jake was just being an ass and he should just ignore him for now and maybe he will tell the truth later. He sighed and walked into his bedroom, thinking more about ken and Alex, whom have gotten together finally, getting past the crappie puppy love bull and finally doing something about it, holding hand etc in front of people so they know, good for them was the only words that Sanctus could muster up as he did not think much about love at the time. He thought he was too young to be doing anything like that anyway. He also thought more about his own status, rethinking who he was, he was now thirteen years of age, was a genin still and had one C- ranked mission under his belt, happy that he could at least say that, he soon feel asleep and woke up the next day on a weekend, smiling as he now was free to do whatever he wished for the next few days, planning on spending them on hardcore training on his chakra. Getting up out of bed and running barefoot into the training room, dressing in his gym clothing he felt groggy as ever but he also was pumped In his head, wanting to get the chakra flowing so he started by meditating while on the water, using his chakra as stilts as always, closing his eyes and letting his body start to glow a bit more violently, so that he can expel more chakra and thus have a better bulk on chakra as well, after which he now did a record of 6 minutes holding the chakra inside the pole and rang the bell in a good time as well, it appears he was getting better, or it would be that his equipment was getting older? He needed new training areas and he knew it. So for now he made up some of his own, starting by walking up the side of the room and handing over the pond for as long as possible, smirking happily as he stood tere for awhile, before getting broed and loseing focus, droping headfirst intot he water witch a big splash, getting everything wet, sighing as he got up and got a mop, cleaning it all up slowly, his head aking now from the stupidity of his ideas sometime, though it may be a good idea for a while he must have seen hat sooner or later he would have fllen no matter what, but at least he can say that he did it and that was enough for him at this point. Smirking as he centenued training this way the rest of the day ad into the next day, at the end of the Sunday curling up into his bed and slowly letting his dreams take him.

At the end of each chapter he lets his dreams take him ^^ intruiging

i thought it was a stupid ending at first but then i thought i'd go with it xD
