The peaceful stillness of the woods enveloped him, and he felt a sense of calm and contentment that he had not experienced in a long time.

With a sense of disorientation and confusion, he muttered to himself, "I'm completely lost." He considered changing his plan to search for wildflowers in the forest as he had done on a previous occasion. However, as he looked around, he realized that all the trees and bushes seemed to look identical. No matter where he turned his gaze, there was no noticeable difference in the dense foliage that surrounded him.

*Rustles*

As Dantes stood there, marveling at the otherworldly sights and sounds around him, he suddenly heard a faint rustling emanating from a nearby tree. Curiosity piqued, he cautiously approached the source of the sound, his heart beating faster with each step. And then, just as he was about to step forward, he saw a flash of black cutting through the air toward him. He instinctively froze, unsure of what kind of creature or object was hurtling toward him at such breakneck speed.

In an instant, he found himself thrown off balance as a sharp, piercing pain shot through his left shoulder, causing his body to tilt backwards. Despite the sudden shock, he managed to keep his cool and focused on the source of the pain, only to find a kunai deeply buried in his flesh. He could feel the numbing sensation spreading through his entire arm, but strangely, the blade seemed to be slowing down the blood flow. Despite the discomfort, he tried to keep himself composed, knowing that panicking would only make matters worse.

"Hehe, another kid."
"Our luck is good today! We found another one!"
"Alright stop messing around and cut his tendons and knock him out, we can't have them wiggle around like last time."

Just as Dantes was about to retreat slowly, three ninjas left the tree branches and bushes. They had their faces covered with clothings and they all wore gray attires.
One of them started approaching him carefree.

"Hehe."  He took out his katana and pointed it toward the kid's arm joints.

'Man~, it had to also be a sadist, at least knock me out. I'm a kid...' Were his last thoughts before he fell unconscious on his back.

Unknown man's pov:

'Hehehehe, I can have some fun again, last time it died of shock too rapidly. This one didn't even scream hehe so it's more durable.' Just as the man's blade was about to touch the kid's skin, the kid's hand grabbed the blade!

"...huh?" He tried to take his katana back but the iron grip made it impossible for him to. So he quickly jumped back and was on alert.
'What's going on?' This thought was in everyone's mind before they heard a voice

"Hehehe..." The kid's laugh sounded very eerily and they all saw the kid get back up. But what shocked them even more was how he took out the kunai out of shoulder with no blood.

"Tell us your name you brat! Who the hell are you !?" Said one of the trio in a commanding voice.

"Hehe, what's my name?" The distorted voice sounded, followed up by a very small piece of mask forming on his eye out of thin air.
"I have no name hahaha!"

Before anyone could react, the sadistic man was gurgling in his own blood. A kunai piercing his throat.

"Hehe~" The kid's distorted voice mocked.

"Kill him! It's just a kid! Come on now!" They both stood ready with their kunais. Unfortunately, they didn't see it arrive as they got distracted by their now dead friend and so one of them kneeled on the ground, his heart impaled by a blade.

"You little, you have no weapon now you stupid little shit haha!" He made hand seals and a jet of water came out of his mouth. "Water release: Water bullet!" The water jet barely hit him yet it was enough to push him back but this benefited him as he hid behind the trees.

"Do you think a mere tree can stop my technique!" The man continued spitting water at him and breaking the trees along the way. He moved from tree to tree in a clockwise manner while the man retreated while firing as the little demon approached.
This continued on until the man noticed something that stunned him. The kid was next to his two dead comrades, taking out the kunai and katana.

'Shit!!' He cursed while dodging the kunai. His shoulder was slightly grazed and he sighed in relief. 'Thank go- "KARH!!" was all he mustered from his mouth, a katana piercing his throat.

'Th-this little shit used the kunai as a distraction...' Were his last thoughts. The demon in front of him watching him slowly fall with wicked eyes.

The kid giggled to himself before the mask fragment on his face broke away into nothingness, his body swaying and falling on his side. His eye color returning to its normal color...
