Dead
The young little blonde boy was looking out over the water, his target was too far away and he could not get caught near the location. As his eyes began to fill with tears a face popped up into his mind. He remembered a weapons master and wondered if this man could help him. He knew not what to ask or how to ask it, but all he knew was that once again he would need the help of that man. The fate of his clan rested on his shoulders and now it seems the fate of his destiny also rested with what would happen here today. He needed to reach his goal and for that he sent a messenger bird to find the man he needed, the man with the spiky hair, the man who did not last long. The one man who could make all his problems disappear, it could only be one. His former sensei who had been defeated by him in training or so he believed. He felt that he had no choice but to ask the man if he could teach him the one thing that eluded him, which was using this stupid weapon called a bow.
What was a bow he thought as he picked up the makeshift bow he got from some cheap merchant. It was basically just a really strong bendy stick that looked like it came straight out the tree since it was still like an actual stick. The string was strong but he had a problem, as he picked up the ten small stick like arrows with a blunt tip. This was a training bow, but without someone to teach him it was worthless to him. He kept holding it different ways raising it over is head and then in front of him to behind him. He just could not understand how to use this weird cowardly weapon. You shot an arrow from a distance which no one would notice and then run away if you miss, it just made him feel a bit sick, until he remembered there was one cool archer long ago in seven bells who said she would come back for him. He knew that she was probably dead, killed along with the rest of Seven Bells Army. Though something told him he had to learn to face his fears and use this weapon. He needed this weapon so he could chased down is enemies and shoot his targets from a distance if they ever chose to run away from him.
He then looked up into the sky as the clouds began passing, his brown loose outfit looking like something huntsman would wear out in the woods. It was not really of any value as it could defend nothing and do nothing but he felt he needed to look the part at least. He then whispered into the wind, "Kenji-sensei"
