In the beginning, all animals lived in peace and harmony and one day a contest was held to see who the strongest of the animals were. The animals with the strongest spirits survived and were, The Dragon, The Fox, The Serpent, The Boar, The Bear, The Ram, and The Lion. Since only one animal could be deemed the strongest, all these animals began battling each other. The Dragon battling The Lion, while The Ram battled The Boar. The Fox battled The Serpent while The Bear woke and slept during the battle. It seemed as this battle went on for centuries as they switched opponents, but the Seven animals finally came to a conclusion that they were all evenly matched and could not beat each other. They began to accept each other as comrades and had many effects on the world as a group. One day each animal found a lost child, and took them and taught them their ways. One by one, each child became powerful, in learning the ways of their animal and began passing down their spirits to those who they deemed worthy. Every child chosen was reincarnated with the spirits of their animal and their predecessors living on inside them. Rarely would children be born with these spirits inside them, but those who were, would prove to be very powerful. Though there was one flaw in the personality of each animal. The dragon would easily anger and could not control his Wrath. The Fox, though was very generous, was cursed and could not control her Greed when it came to certain things. The Ram simply couldn't control his lust for the fox. The Serpent could not control her Envy of the other animals. The Lion was too proud and would act on his pride only, sometimes leaving him at an disadvantage. The Bear was very lazy and could not control her Sloth, he would fall asleep easily at random times. And the Boar could not control his Gluttony, eating too much at times and putting his honor/pride at risk (He sometimes eats trash). The Seven Animals, individually were unmatched by all others, but together they formed the greatest team the world had ever seen.

Born in Hidden Snow, Gin was such a wonderful child always happy and motivated to be his best. His father was an Samurai from Hidden Thunder and his mother a Ninja from Hidden Snow. Born with the promise that one day he would be great and powerful his parentes helped him to understand what the world is and what it might not be, from their side of view, and trained him as he grew stronger and skilled with sword and ninjutsu. Gin was happy enough with his parents but, of course, he wanted more than that... Gin wanted to graduate as a ninja and that he did!
A week after the graduation Gin was formally introduced to his new partners and the Sensei.
His partners were a girl and a boy named Sekai and Ken, sister and brother who loved each other and by the time of eighteen days they became Gin's best friends.
The Sensei was a skilled woman who had a hair just as golden as the sunlight. She was just as beautiful as the nature. Her skin was smooth and just as beautiful and bright as the moon itself. Over time, she became his second mother, although she had never left the professionalism as their Sensei. Her name was [i]Ada[/i]
Four entire months training as hard as they could and doing missions within the Village. They trained so hard both day and night till the moment they were finally able to work fully as a team, trusting each other more than themselves.
They were finally ready to fulfill missions outside the Hidden Snow. Their Sensei was really proud of them and so she decided to let them choose one of the Rank C missions.
"Search and Capture"
Their goal was, briefly, to capture two assassins and bring them back to receive their due trial. One of them was already seriously wounded, he had lost one of his arms by a sharpened sword in the battlefield though it got stuck in a giant rock.
The Team left Hidden Snow as soon as possible so they could analyze the battlefield and then search for the assassins.
After arriving on the battlefield, what they saw in front of them was death. Corpses brutally scattered all around the field...
There was no living thing there, besides them. Almost 19 corpses around them.
"But how could only two assassins do such a horrible thing?" - They asked themselves
There was no answer for that question. Yet...
The view was not the best, the stench... worse! They decided to start the search for the assassins, they had to. None could escape from that without getting what they deserved. It was easy in the beginning of the search because there was a blood trail but after a while it started to vanish till the moment that the team no longer knew where to go or when to stop.
A strange feeling washed over them, lifting the fine hairs on hte napes of their necks. They were being watched. Smoothly they went into combat stances, gripping their weapons. They counted five: five assassins against three of them.
"We can't just capture them..." - Gin whispered
"Try to capture all of them, but you have my permission to kill. Try to get at least two, like the original plan."
Sweat beaded on Ada's forehead as she looked over her students. They were young, inexperienced, and this was asking too much. She hoped she wouldn't have to attend yet another funeral.
"Here they come" - The brothers cried out, fear nearly cracking their voices.
They split up in defensive formation B, desperately searching for weaknesses that could give them an edge.
The assassins were perfectly synchronized, every step was carefully executed as if drilled a thousand times.
The team's defensive formation was something hard to break, almost perfect... But then one of the assassins noticed something. One was slightly inclined, leaving his flank open. The brother was slightly inclined and they saw that. The assassins knew what to do and when exactly...

They went to Ken. Two of them, searching nothing but death.
What they did not noticed was that the flaw they saw was nothing but a simple trap. Mixing the assassins experience, their pride and the fact that the team was young and the only threat could be the sensei so they thought none could do a thing. they were careless. What happened next wasn't good to both assassins... Sekai throwed a Kunai while the sensei was getting close to them. The kunai was a clever distraction, by the time they repulsed it the Ada was close enough to knock someone down.
"One less" - Said Ada
"It won't be easy but we CAN do this!" - Once again, encouraging her students.
As she turned to face the enemies the worse happened
"ADA-SENSEI, CAREFUL!" - Gin and Sekai shouted while two more assassins appear and cut her throat and pierced her stomach.
It seemed that the whole world went in slow motion while Sekai, Gin and Ken saw her body falling down to the ground.
Ada took one last look at her precious students one by one, smiling to them and crying while blood dripped from her mouth...
Life was leaving her body, she couldn't speak anymore for her throat had been deeply cuted.
She moved her mouth forming her last words. "Thank you... Sorry"
"Retreat!" - Said one of the assassins.
by the way he spoke Gin could realize that he was their Leader.
After the assassins had left, Gin ran to Ada's body which was surrounded by her blood.
In that day, Gin lost two important things to him... His "second mother" and his good emotions, leaving only coldness and rage within him... He blames himself for what happened, he should've done somethin instead of just warning her. But this is not the end, Gin knows all that... He's just getting started with the life he chose to live.

I know that the end was a little bit rushed and did not explained alot, but there's a B Part coming soon. :D
