This is Japan, the nation of an unique culture with advanced technology. Except this, there is an interesting field of animated shows and comic books. But I will show, none of these in this story. Let me take you to the time, when Japan was not much advanced

11th century CE,

It was the time of Samurais and Ninjas. Samurais followed strict laws of fighting and were very systemic and wise. Ninjas were secret and disguised fighters with unique weapons and hiding techniques. Ninja used to break laws , like stealing, robbing, etc.

This is Asino family. Mr Asino was a farmer, he was very poor, he lived with his wife and two children. Asino's elder son, Ikochiwa Asino was once upon a time, a great samurai, but due to poor wealth, he had to leave his martial art career and sold his katana and armour. Initially Ikochiwa was working on his father's land. Mr Asino had borrowed much money from his neighborhood and he also not cleared his taxes for last three months to the emperor. No one there was to help Asino, Asino family was considered as outcasts of the town. The Samurai were quite rich, but not the poor people.

Ikochiwa's younger brother, Kenichiwa was interested in martial arts, due to loss of money, he can't learn studies or martial arts. Kenichiwa secretly followed the lessons of nearby Martial art academies and practised it on the oak tree beside his hut. No one talked to Kenichiwa, neither they wanted to touch him, in other words Asino was considered as the untouchables. According to common people, poor people are a curse, an better is this, if we avoid them. Kenichiwa was practising martial arts since three years, from when he was 9 years old.

“ What happened Asino? Your four months tax is not cleared, if you don't give it within six months, the Emperor permitted us to cut your throat and feed it to dogs, you bloody swine! ” said the taxlord.

“ I will definitely clear my tax, my Majesty, but just give me.. one month.. just one month, I will clear it ” replied Mr Asino.

Observing these things, Ikochiwa was very sad and frustrated, because for his worthlessness. There was no fault of Ikochiwa. Kenichiwa was very depressed by facing all these things.

One day, when Kenichiwa was practising his moves on the oak tree. Suddenly, a group of boys were walking through that path. One of the boy saw a boy practicing certain moves rapidly on tree. His long dirty hair, dirtytorn clothes with slender body of the boy made him feel odd. The name of the boy was Haruko. Haruko went near Kenichiwa and asked him—

Haruko: Hello, did I disturbed you?

Kenichiwa looked around and saw a fair skinned boy with shiny battle garments with a katana.

Kenichiwa: Yes.. sir, what happened, how can I

help you?

Kenichiwa was looking at Haruko in a strange manner and why not, he had never seen such expensive clothes ever.

Haruko replied—Nothing, but I want to ask that you daily practise here on this tree?

Kenichiwa: Yes, I actually on that hut, few yards away.

Haruko: I want to challenge you in a barehand

battle.

Firstly, Kenichi got little bit afraid for that proposal, then he replied— I accept your challenge.

Both the fighters fixed their legs on the ground with tightend fists. Haruko raised his leg above his head and kicked, but Kenichiwa dodged. Kenichi then raised his knee and kicked on Haruko's abdomen. Kenichiwa moved forward and hit his elbow , but Haruko blocked by his lower arm and chopped his hand on Kenichiwa's shoulder. Kenichiwa got a severe damage. Haruko jumped on air and kicked, Kenichiwa got shocked by a sudden attack. With a electrical speed, Kenichiwa moved from there and elusive simultaneous punches on Haruko. Haruko stood still on the ground and waited for Kenichiwa's next move. The environment around Haruko and Kenichiwa was totally silent. Kenichiwa was also waiting for Haruko's next move. Haruko can't tollerete the pain, so he fell, this shows the surrender of Haruko and victory of Kenichiwa. When Haruko stood up, Kenichiwa noticed a mark of blood around his mouth.

Haruko moved towards Kenichiwa, his eyes was burning like fire. He said solemnly —“ That was a great battle, we will meet again ”. Haruko left the place with his friends.

All these incidents were noticed by Ikochiwa by the side of the hut. After some time Ikochiwa called Kenichiwa for dinner, but before that he said

“Kenny, you like martial arts right, But I will prefer you to leave it. Martial arts has destroyed me and also will destroy you! Stop these nonsense, you will leave martial arts, that's my final decision, you have to help me in the farmlands. Dad is sick, mom is weak. You have to take our responsibilities. How longer I will carry these responsibilities, you have to grow up very soon.

After that Kenichiwa said nothing and had his dinner and slept with a depressed mood.

One month passed and Kenichiwa stopped martial arts. Kenichiwa everyday helped his brother in farmlands. One day, Ikochiwa was busy in working in his farmlands and Kenichiwa was helping him.

Unexpectedly, Kenichiwa noticed that Haruko came secretly and was hiding behind the oak tree. Haruko knew everything about the conversation between Kenichiwa and Ikochiwa that night. Kenichiwa went near Haruko by tapping his feet with a pin drop silence.

Kenichiwa: Why you came here? If my brother

knows he will finish me.

Haruko: I am here to give you, this golden Buddha

from my dad.

Haruko's dad ,Hasashi met Kenichiwa few days ago. He was a great fan of Kenichiwa's talent. Haruko handovered the box in which the idol is there to Kenichiwa and left. Kenichiwa quickly hid that box under his father's bed, that time his father was fast asleep, so he didn't recognised his son. If it goes in the hand of his brother then he would sell it for money.

Ikochiwa was happy for his monthly wages that at least he and his family would get two meals a day. One day, the taxlords came to Mr Asino's hut and asked for the tax.

Asino: Sorry, we don't have much money, give me

few more days.

Taxlord: Time is over, now you have to suffer.

They carried Mr Asino and tied hais hands and legs by rope and simultaneously hit whip on the back of Asino.

Too much blood shed and pain, Mr Asino can't tollerete, unfortunately he died. By seeing this sight of Asino's death, his wife died due to hypertension. Ikochiwa and Kenichiwa can't save their parents. Kenichiwa also got fever due to these psychological issues. Both the brothers had not ate or drank anything on that day. Some special officers buried the dead bodies of Mr and Mrs Asino.

Next morning, when Kenichiwa woke up, he didn't found his brother in the hut. He thought may be his brother went for work without calling him. Outside the hut there was a massive crowd of people around Kenichiwa's hut. Everyone was shouting in relation to the oak tree. Kenichiwa went near the tree by pushing the crowd aside. He saw two legs was hanging from the tree. When Kenichiwa looked up, he saw a familiar face to him. Ikochiwa hanged himself with a rope under the branch of the oak tree!!By seeing the static body of Ikochiwa, Kenichiwa's blood got frozen. He was looking at the conscientiously for since half a hour. Many people called Kenichiwa but no sound heard by Kenichiwa. Kenichiwa could then only see and hear his moment's with his brother. According to law, suicide was crime in Japan. If the prosecutor is alive then he or she would not punishment or one of his or her family member would get the punishment. Now, Kenichiwa would get punishment and besides that his dad's tax is left, so he would get more heavy punishment. You can imagine that how cruel it is to give a heavy crime punishment to a small kid. On the trunk of the oak tree, Ikochiwa had written with stone—“I'm sorry ”.

For this fear, Kenichiwa left that town immediately with his worldly possessions.

  The emperor had announced in every corner of Japan that if anybody finds Kenichiwa , the person will be rewarded with fifty thousand gold coins by the emperor. Kenichiwa went to another town to stay, but he saw his posters everywhere, so he had to wander like nomads here and there. Kenichiwa hid his identity and made a new identity of Master Ken, king of ninjas.

Kenichiwa practiced his martial arts regularly. Three years passed peacefully. Master Ken got a news of a provincial level karate competition. He participated there as an temporary name —Black Demon. Black Devil defeated all the participants easily such that he is fighting with a kid and qualified into the finals, when he had challenged karate monk—Lao chihan.

Before the battle starts , Lao chihan said, “ You are just a kid, you will get easily defeated ”, openly to Black Devil. Black devil replied, “ The time depends that who will win and who will be destroyed”.

The battle started, Black devil was hitting simultaneously but all attacks are dodged by Lao like nothing. Lao kicked Black Devil and used a powerful chop on his shoulder.Black devil fell down and Lao was about to punch on his face, but a miracle happened. Black devil totally vanished from the soil, the audience and Lao got shocked.

Black Devil was actually standing behind Lao. Black Devil punched on his back and broke his two small bones of spine and he used flying bicycle kicks on Lao. Lao's face started and his back was paining horribly. Then Black Devil threw his last hook punch and Lao fainted.

Hence, the new Kanto region champion is ‘ Black Devil ’.Black Devil became very popular in Japan that time. In every locality, there is only one name—Black Devil, Black Devil. Many ninja became his followers, but the rich Samurais didn't liked him.

Black Devil soon made a large army, his army's name was Army of Destruction.

Black Devil started ravaging small villages and towns and captured them. The emperor gave him a warning, but he didn't cared about it. Finally he came to his hometown to capture it. He saw that some lumbermen were going to cut the oak tree in neighborhood to old hut of Kenichiwa. When a lumberman was about to strike the axe on the tree, Black Devil swiftly jumped over the lumberman and killed him by his katana. Everyone got shocked to see Black Devil. Black Devil commanded everyone, “If anyone gives a small damage also in this tree, I will not spare him or her. ”People got scared and ran away, some of them informed Haruko about Black Devil. Haruko that time was the leader of the town. Haruko came to Black Devil with other Samurais. Black Devil welcomed Haruko in an ironic manner, “ Welcome! Welcome! My old friend, can you recognize me, I am Kenichiwa, now I am going to destroy this village. Haruko attacked on Kenichiwa, but he blocked it and stabbed katana in the abdomen. Soon Haruko died and blood started coming out from abdomen. Army of Destruction destroyed the whole village and killed some of them. Finally Kenichiwa took his revenge from his village, but he suddenly realized, “What have I done! I killed my friend and destroyed my own home town, and I have destroyed many other places too”.

Hasashi, the father of Haruko advised, “It's good that you realized your sins, I have forgive you, I know you killed my son, but you realized, that is more important, I think you should go for a peace trip away from the whole world, my boy. ” Kenichiwa didn't expected that he would be forgave by Hasashi. He decided to meditate in Mt Fuji and become a Buddhist monk for some years and left the town.
