Inside Werebeast Forest, Daytime
Ha! Heeeyaaa! Hoo!
*Fwip, fwip, fwip!*
*Thwack, thwack, thwack!*
Wow, you hit them all. You're definitely amazing, Momo!
Your shuriken throws have gotten even better.
Hehe, you're making me blush. Shuriken are the most basic of all ninjutsu!
A ninja who cannot properly throw shuriken is like a flower without nectar!
I'm pretty sure that there are a lot of flowers that don't produce nectar. They'd be pretty offended hearing that...
Upon reflection, that may indeed have been discourteous to flowers that do not produce nectar...
I shall correct myself: They are like flowers without petals!
There are a lot of plants that cannot flower. They'd be offended this time...
Argh! I will no longer listen to you, Master! I have figured out that you are teasing me!
You have a mischievous look on your face, Master!
Heh.
I check the targets Momo hit with her shuriken. They've all hit dead center.
Wow, that's amazing! They've all landed inside this tiny circle! Impressive!
*Sulk*
Why the long face, though? You were great with the shuriken.
I cannot revel in this. Shuriken are only the basics of the ninja world.
The legendary ninjas whose names are etched in history have reached far greater heights!
Ninjas whose names are etched in history?
Don't tell me she's talking about characters from those ninja manga she reads...
At best, all I can do is muster all my strength to go fwip and send a shuriken flying.
But those ninjas... they send hundreds or thousands of shuriken flying with nothing but a single thought.
Merely throwing these one at a time is insufficient to eradicate the enemies of ninjas!
If only I had that shuriken!
"That" shuriken...?
I've heard that the Legendary Shuriken always hits its target no matter how carelessly you throw it.
Its maximum range spans from Sprite Kingdom all the way to Witch Kingdom!
Uh, that sounds more like a missile than a shuriken.
A missile? Is that a type of shuriken, too??
No, no, forget it. Hey, tell me more about this Legendary Shuriken.
Sure! Here's another amazing thing about the Legendary Shuriken!
If you're lying down and you just take it out of your pocket, that's all it takes! It flies forth on its own!
Sure seems like a legendary level of convenience.
Once I get a hold of this Legendary Shuriken, the golden age of my ninja life will begin!
I'll be able to complete all those requests I recklessly accepted, all while lying down!
You'll complete all of that while lying down?
Oh, you finally noticed it. I wondered when you might.
She so wanted this Legendary Shuriken that it actually manifested as her Yearning.
I should fill her in on what a Yearning is.
About that... It appeared because you kept thinking about shuriken, Momo.
Because I kept thinking about them?
Wishes and desires manifest like that. Simply put, it's what the Legendary Shuriken might look like, visible only to you, Momo.
What the Legendary Shuriken might look like?! How amazing!
Now that I look again, I can feel a tremendous energy! A legendary aura from the Legendary Shuriken!
Urgh, visualizing this shape and form makes me want to get my hands on it even more!
What can I do to obtain this Legendary Shuriken, Master!?
That, I don't know.
Even you do not know, Master?! This is a big problem!
Momo strikes a dejected ninja pose.
Momo, a thought just crossed my mind... Do you really think a convenient shuriken like that actually exists?
A convenient shuriken?
If it does everything and is that convenient, I'm not sure it would be called the "Legendary Shuriken".
It would have been called the "Legendary Shuriken of Convenience"!
*Gasp* You're right!!
A ninja is someone who overcomes great hardship to achieve their goals...
I was momentarily blinded by temptation and set my sights upon a path far too convenient!
I can't believe I indulged in the wishful delusion that acquiring the Legendary Shuriken would make me powerful...!
It is not the shuriken that is legendary... it is the ninja who wields it!
I think you hit the nail on the head.
Perfect!! I'll become a legendary ninja first, then!
That way, the shuriken I hold will naturally evolve into the Legendary Shuriken!
There's no time to waste! I must start training immediately! Master, please assist me!
Assist you? All of a sudden? With what?
I'll get right into it, Master!! Try to block my Special Move: Momo Clone Flame Wheel Strike 108 Forms!!
Wh-What?? Block that?? Now?!
BA-BA-BA-BOOM!!
What the heck, Momo?!
No way... You remain completely fine after taking my new ninja technique?!
All you did was throw firecrackers at my feet!
Master, do you happen to be the Legendary Master?
I can't become a legendary ninja without defeating the Legendary Master!
I shall begin closed-door training!!
*Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!*
Momo dashes away at incredible speed.
Oh no, I've been marked.
I've suddenly become a sacrifice for Momo's quest to become a legendary ninja.
What is gonna happen when her closed-door training ends...? Will she come at me with something even bigger than firecrackers?
The next day, Momo throws not one, but two firecrackers at Master.
Master felt twice the sting of the day before, but they did not yield.
Momo's journey to become a legendary ninja and obtain the Legendary Shuriken is still long and arduous.
