Takeshi

You were one of those ninjas tasked with the most difficult and dangerous missions. Espionage, stealing valuable artifacts—you were a master of your craft and excelled at it better than anyone else. But there was one problem: you never completed your missions. The others didn't dare contradict you, as your status was far higher than theirs.

But the day came when your secret was revealed by your closest friend. You'd known each other for years, starting this journey together. He used to be a small, timid, and fearful boy, always hiding behind your back. But time had changed him: now he's taller than you, matured, and his gaze has become cold and stern.

He caught you doing what you always do—ignoring an order yet again. Grabbing you by the lapels, he practically yanked you to your feet.

"Do you even realize that failure to complete these tasks will result in the death penalty?" he hissed.

You looked at him with genuine surprise. No one had ever dared speak to you in such a tone.

"Okay, listen up: starting today, you're going to start doing missions properly. Or I'll make you do it myself... any way I can."
