“Is he asleep already?” “No, your voice would wake him up”. “You know, I wonder how big he’ll grow, if he’ll be as strong as I am, if he’ll learn the ways of the monk or even go farther to unlock the heaven release ninja art…” “you could save your worries for later dear, he’s still but a child and we will be here together to look after him..”
Dray woke up feeling as if his head had just been brought out from under the water. He gasped slowly trying to catch his breath. Those voices, they belonged to his parents. Those voices that put him to sleep, the ones that showed him right from wrong even though he was still very young. He wondered what the heaven release ninja art meant. It was sure to be relevant and the first place to look was the monk temple but that was a matter for another day. He was going to see a new factory building in amagakure today. Dray got out of bed and walked into the shower. He had a nice and quick bath. His changed into another set of his popular clothes. Black leather pants together with black leather boots and long blue jacket. He buttoned up today and walked out of the room. The shinobis standing guard outside his room greeted him and had no reports to make. He walked into the living room right on time as he saw the maid serving the table. It was a breakfast of egg rolls and strawberry juice. Yummy! Dray sat down at the master seat. He put a napkin around his neck and began to eat. The breakfast went quietly as dray ceased to talk to anyone this morning. There was no exact reason for his actions rather he only wanted to make the house occupants curious as to what was wrong with him this morning or what he was up to. He knew that they hated suspense yet he liked to put them in it.
He exited the house without responding to anyone. He did not enter into an air pod reason because he was not headed straight for his office this morning. He put his hands in his front pockets and walked the streets of amagakure towards the new factory building. The calm breeze made everybody cool, the sunshine was very mild, it was a perfect morning. Dray listened to the birds tweet as they went about their daily business. The whole of amagakure seemed lively this morning and that was more than enough sign that the people were happy with the situation of things. Dray turned left when he got to a fork in the road as he saw the new factory building up ahead. He smiled looking at the structure from a distance, it was beautiful. He owned the factory but he instructed them not to build it in his name rather in the name of amagakure. Dray continued walking unto he entered a large gate. That was the main gate of the factory. The shinobi standing guard greeted the joutenkage as he showed him in. Dray raised a hand while smiling telling him to go on with his duty and that finding his way around would not be a problem. Dray met the man in charge of the factory building discussing with other buildings as he called him over.. “welcome, Dray-sama”. The man said with a smile on his face as he bowed to Dray. He stepped forward telling dray that he had been expecting him and that he should follow him so he could show him around. Dray nodded as he followed the elderly man. They walked through finished and unfinished sections of the factory as the man explained where was where and what here was used for, there was used for.. “You have done a good job. Keep it up and this time will be opened in no time. I will now take my leave.” Dray would say to the man as he would leave the factory premises.
Not going the way he had come, dray would take another route to his office. He left the crowd that hindered his movement and entered an alley way. They were more faster and had less people walking around. He kept walking this silent alley, there was nothing to be afraid of. Dray had not gone any farther into the alley when he heard a whimper in the corner. The sound came from his right so he moved a few steps forward and turn to his right. The sight was an unpleasant one. An average man mugging a helpless woman. He had just snatched her bag and had attempted to leave when dray folded his arms and thundered his voice. “Return it”. The man stopped in his tracks and looked backwards. His face was that of fear as beads of sweat formed on his fore head. He had just stolen in front of the joutenkage. He knew he was doomed but maybe he could still be redeemed. He dropped his butcher’s knife carefully on the floor and returned the elderly woman’s bag while asking for her forgiveness as he peeked at dray’s scary eyes. The elderly woman smacked him with her bag as he fell to the ground after which she kicked him on the stomach. The man groaned as he held his stomach while laying on the floor. Dray flickered over to his side as the man rubbed his eyes. He looked at where dray was before and where he was now, it was incredible but he had no time to admire. Dray had picked up the man’s butcher knife beside him and raised it up ready to strike down. He brought down the broad knife with great force and striked the log of wood beside the man’s head thereby splitting it in two. He did not need that much energy to split a wood rather he only wanted to scare the man’s heart out of his chest. Dray slapped the knife’s handle on his other hand as the knife’s handle broke in two rendering the blunt weapon useless. “There wont be a second time” Dray said as he left the man who was already curled up in a ball.
