What makes us truly human?

With his hands in his pocket and head looking to the wonderful forest ground Ezra hummed a nice tune in his head."Why did sensei leave to go to some other village?...but a better question is why did I choose not to go with him?" Ezra mumbles to himself as he stops and look up at the sky. He knew the answer to his question but being a child he knew no other ways, other then saying them to himself, to show his discomfort. Leaning up against a tree he begins to look at the ground. He would slowly slide done the tree till he was sitting on the ground. He had nothing to do and this was kinda sad as he had no friends to hang out with....all he had really was his Sensei, Junpei. Even though Ezra didn't care that he was alone, it did make him bored. So as he sat there he wondered what he should do."Maybe I should go on a rampage!" He says as a twisted smile comes across his face. That thing really would amuse him very much as he was a one who loved the thrill of killing and devouring his prey and enemies....

Ezra would stand to his feet as he placed his hand on the trunk of the tree, his mind almost fully set on what he planned on doing. He would look around to see if any prey was in the area at the time, and by prey he means other humans. But sadly there where none as he was somewhere in the forest. So he would pick a random direction and begin to walk, his twisted smile growing wider and wider as he grew hungrier and hungrier. As he walked he remembered what the women Nira, a member of his clan, told him she would do if he attacked someone who belonged to the village. Giving an sigh of irritation he would have to keep that in mind, as he wasn't strong enough to do as he please. As he also, in a way, believed Junpei would hurt or even kill him if he harmed any members of the village. With all that his smile slowly turned into a angry scowl, as he grew angry from the thought of being weaker then those two. Even though it would take time for him to get stronger then Junpei he just hated he was not even in Nira's class at the moment. Those thoughts also made Ezra just want to fuck something up now as his angry just kept building up.

And at the same time his angry was about to make him loss his shit and cause him to just fuck up thing in the forest he spotted something, no...someone. No was his chance to let out his angry and do as he pleased...as he no longer cared for what could happen if that person belonged to the village and he killed her. Swiftly he would rush, at full speed, at the women having full intent to kill her no matter who she was. But as he attempted to kick her head off it would seem he missed, to him. But the ,women as she walked, merely dodged his attack. Confused he would attempt again but this time with a flurry of kicks and punches but he still missed, and all she would do was move slight as she walked. Jumping in a tree he would watch as the women continued to walk, as if Ezra was just a something lower then a fly. Frustrated that she didn't do anything but dodge his attacks Ezra would jump in front of her, and this time she stopped. "Yes?" is what she would ask Ezra.

Ezra for a second didn't say anything as he looked at the women, as he was shocked to say the least. This one had some type of bandages covering her eyes and strange symbols written on them. For a minute Ezra continued to not say anything as he was a lost for words, but finally he mustered up the courage to speak."H-how were you able to dodge my attack!?! I moved silently and struck at you in all of your blind spots! And on top of that you have your eyes covered! You should be fucking dead right now!" Ezra would say to her as he clenched his fists in anger. Right now he should have been cooking this bitch. But no for some reason he wasn't able to even land a hand on the women. Growing more and more angry from this he wouldn't wait for what she had to say as he lunged at her. His killing intent would make many pause in fear, but this women didn't as she just smiled at him. As he went to attack her he felt as if everything was slowed and as his fist slowly came closer and closer to her face he would feel as if he was stuck in air, an inch away from landing his attack.

She would move to a side a bit so Ezra would she her face, and she gave him a gentle smile as she began to walk passed him."Boy, you give off a strange aura about you. A one that is full of anger and hate....So the reason i was able to easily dodge your attacks was from the evil intentions you had." She would say as she placed her had on his back, sending him through five trees. But that never really happened because when Ezra had looked at the women's face he was stuck inside of a strange genjutsu. But Ezra doesn't know that as he got out of the pile of fallen trees, a crazed look on his face. He could now kill her as he pleased as he could just say she was an enemy of the village. And with that thought he rushed at her again, but faced the same fate over and over again. As Ezra continued to attack the women over and over again in the genjutsu he was being cared away by the women.

Soon the women would make it to a shrine, or temple, that had no people besides a strange man. What was this women's plan when she brought this boy to the place, she could have killed him earlier when she stuck him in the genjutsu. But to go back into the genjutsu Ezra was in he wasn't looking so good as his close were tattered and he was bleeding. From all of his attack not landing and him getting hit through trees, in the genjutsu, he was basically getting his ass kicked by someone on another level. But even though he realized he was getting beat he still continued to fight her, even though this was out of his character. But due to the Gen it didn't let Ezra think in his right mind, as he would normally retreat after attacking someone more powerful then him. But in this genjutsu his more crazy side was out more, even though he wasn't in his manifestation form.

But in this stage of the genjutsu he landed a finger on the women, as he tried to change up his attack."Gotcha! Now you die!" He would say but would be frozen after he said those words. And he would slowly feel as if a blade went through his chest and then heart, and the pain was beyond unbearable. As he had never had his bones penetrated before, even if this was a genjutsu, this pain was new and made him just want to die. And as he felt as if his life was fading tears begin to stream down his face, in real life and the genjutsu. And that, if anyone new Ezra personally, was a sight as he has never cried before in his life. Ezra was a person who showed no such emotion of sadness or fear this women gave him. As he continued to cry, in realty, the women who put him in the genjutsu gently whipped his tears as his head laid on her lap. She would look up at the night sky and then back at him."Face reality young one...."Is what she would say as she spoke to him. She was sitting at the entrance of the shrine with the old man behind her.

Ezra would open his eyes and find himself on the ground of the forest, lifting himself up he would look around."...What happened?" He would ask himself as he had a bit of short term memory loss. Feeling a sharp pain he would put is hand on his chest, and find out he had a whole there."The hell!?!" He would say as he looked at his had which was now covered in his crimson blood. He would begin to just start running in a random direction, unable to understand what was going on. But as he quickly as he started running he stopped as he saw something that made him fall to his knees, his own body."H-how can this be?" left his mouth as he slowly crawled over to his body and examines it. He looked completely normal besides the whole in the middle of his chest. He would begin to move back until his back was against a tree, and getting in a fettle position Ezra would begin mumbling something to himself. He was breaking from how he normally acted into a scared little boy, something he never he considered himself to be or want to be. As he began to cry he would call out to two people he has never called out to in his life..."Mama...papa..Where are you?"

As Ezra did this for some time he would sit back up and look at his hands, and be surprised once again as he saw his hands look as if he was in his second form."..How can this be!?! I never changed into this form!" He would yell as he stood to his feet. Everything was strange as hell. The sight of his own body and also him in his other form was freaking him out and he couldn't take it. He would run his hands through his ,now, green hair as he wondered what was going on. He was still scared but he felt he couldn't just sit here and cry anymore. So he would pick up his dead body and just begin to walk in a random direction, stopping when he came to a creek. He would place his dead body down and look into the water." ...I can't believe this.." He would say as he looked and saw his face but the other three faces he had. His manifestation form over his right shoulder and other form over his left. Not wanting to look at himself anymore he would look away but find that his dead body was standing behind him, in his manifestation form.

Ezra would stand to his feet to look touch his thought to be dead body, but he felt he had no power to get up. So he would just settle to just speak to it as he was wondering what was going on, and he felt this was his only way to find out."What is going on? Why am I...I mean we able to see each other? We are the same being why can I see you? Why am I acting this way? I feel strange and confused and am feeling things I am not supposed to be feeling....All of this makes nonsense..unless...I am missing something very important." Ezra would stop for a second as he began to feel as he usually felt, calm and relaxed, and then he realized what was going on. He felt he was acting like something he hated the most and was glad to be back to his normal self as he would begin to talk, he had confidence in his voice. "Where is that women? As I have figured out what is going on. I am not dead..I am not seeing myself. I am in some type of genjutsu. So tell me. Where she is and what is going on!?!?"

The being that used to be him changed into the women from before, and she let out a giggle."Good, you finally saw through it. But it did take you a long time....So I won't tell you what I want to tell you. But I guess i can release this...But I will say this before I do that. I was able to find out everything there is to know about you...Ezra...that being the things you know and also things that you don't know about yourself." She would turn around and look at him everything but her face, which still had the bandages with symbols covering her eyes, was gone. She would give him a smile before her face was gone and the genjutsu was over.


In reality

Opening his eyes Ezra would sit up and look around to she where he was. He was at a shrine foreign to him and had a cover on him. The only thing that was weird was he was in his second form even though he didn't want to, but he had no time to change back to his normal one. Without saying a word he would stand to his feet and look at the path that lead to the entrance he was at. he didn't know if he should run as he could have been dead..or if he should find that women and ask her some questions. Letting his curiosity and anger get the best of him he would walk from the entrance he was at and into the shrine, which was the size of a large temple. As he walked around he made his way into one of the halls of the place, on guard as he walked. As he didn't know what could come out and attack him. Stopping when he walked passed a door, a sign of fear came over him."What is this presence?" Was what he would say as he walked backwards and stood at the door. It couldn't be the women as he had never felt such a thing from her when he had first met her, so this had to be someone else. Ezra was hesitant to open the door as he began to sweat, as this presence they gave off was inhuman an something he had never felt from anyone.

Man this new emotion of fear he had gained, or awakened, had stopped him from doing something as simple as opening a door. Even though a powerful being was behind it he kinda felt like those he considered better then. Shaking his head he would clench his fist and kick down the door."Okay, who ar-" He would try and yell as he entered the room, but as he did he would fall to his knees before he could make out the figure he saw. What had happened to him as fear has made him unable to even stand to his feet, as the aura the person in front of him gave off was so intense and full of killer intent was too much for the young boy. The weight of it made it harder and harder for him to even stay in the position he was in, as it felt as if it was going to fucking crush him. In his mind he began to think of ways to get out of but found none, well not none but the idea he had was dumb. But what the heck he needed to try something so he went for it, as he would take of his clothes and now only be in his short he had under them. But also he would be stuck on the floor of the room unable to stand up. It not only was a dumb idea but also a waste of energy as it took him almost everything he had to do it.

But something would change and he would be able to get back up to his feet for some reason, so as he slowly raised he kept his head down. As he wanted to at least get into some type of defensive stance before looking at whatever it was that made him fall to his knees. But before he would do that he would hear what ever it was begin to laugh as if it was crazy. Once in a stance that he had studied he looked at what laughed and saw a powerful looking man with a bamboo sword over his shoulder."Tell me who you are? Where that women went? And WHY AM I HERE!?!" Ezra would ask the guy as if the guy was the one who had fallen to his knees only moment ago. But that was how Ezra acted he felt he was always better then everyone he encountered and wouldn't think other wise until that person showed they were more powerful then he was, even though this man kinda already did. Hwen Ezra had spoken he felt the man start to give off more of his presence like he did before, but Ezra was able to stand now. As he had his own aura around and about him...his King's Aura. As to be the most dominate you must show what presence you have in this world to all who think they are stronger. That was Ezra's thinking anyway and that was the only thing stopping him from submitting to this man.
