"My sons, I wanted to tell you a story. Actually, this was passed down to the Hamato clan for it is written by our forefathers. They say it's also a hidden tale in Japan that everyone has to know..."
"Oooohhh.... I can't wait!"
"Quiet, Michaelangelo. Now once upon a time..."
In the year 1502, there was a clan that was first established before Hamato. The Kazenami Clan. A lot of genarals had passed their authority from generation to generation. Until they proclaimed their first female general, (L/N) (Y/N), the Kazenami clan changed.
(Y/N) was good at war tactics, skilled on katanas and archery and conquered thousands of territories in the Feudal Japan during her reign. She was known in her cold attitude and showing fearlessness and no mercy during battles. They say that she was called as the The Blue-Eyed Yokai Daimyo (blue-eyed demon ruler) in that time.
But on a cold September 15, year 1502, during her war in Kyoto, they were attacked by ninjas and asassins by the Genji Forces who plotted revenge. They secretly went to her camp and set her cabin on fire, burning her alive. They say that one of her men betrayed her and caused the attack. Although, she had freed thousands of prisoners from the Genji forces before the day she died.
"So that's why, when you visit Kyoto, make sure to visit her grave on Hidurashi Shrine for she is a hero for every ninja and kunoichi today."
<Leo's POV>
Master Splinter closed his book and the story telling is finally over. April, Donnie, Mikey and Casey were amazed by the story. Raph only showed lost of interest while I take the story as an inspiration on my leadership towards the team. Kinda make me sad when a hero's life had ended up in tragic.
"Father." I stood up and Splinter handed me the book. Everyone got up from their seats and go to their respective bedrooms.
"I feel bad for (Y/N), sensei. She was a great leader but her life became miserable." I said. Splinter placed his hand on my shoulder.
"Leonardo, that was just a summary of a short Japanese tale with her in it. But when you read the whole thing, you will understand. Everything happens for a reason, my son." he replied as he went back to his bedroom.
I opened the book and I saw a painting of The Great (Y/N)'s portrait. I realized that she is so beautiful. I don't think her alias "The Blue-Eyed Yokai Daimyo" doesn't suit her. Or maybe she's only beautiful on the outside, Splinter mentioned that she has a cold attitude towards her soldiers and comrades.
I went inside of my room and started reading the book again.
Thirty minutes later...
I opened my eyes and looked around me. I didn't realized that I fell asleep while reading the book. Looking at the page, I am already done with it's first half. I really get hooked by the story. When I looked at the clock, it is two minutes before midnight.
CRASH!
I almost jumped into my bed when a thunder roared just now. It is starting to rain outside. Water started to flow faster into the sewers.
Clink, Clang, Clink...
I just heard some sort metal falling sound just outside of my room. I quickly got up on my bed to check it out. I went to the empty living room where I noticed the door to Donnie's laboratory is opened. I took a peek inside and I saw my brother working on a machine. I walked inside.
"Donnie, you shoud rest by no—"
"Leo! Step back!"
Crash!
A lightning had hit somewhere making everything around me turned dark. Before I lost conciousness, Donnie went on my side and I was blinded by a pitch black vision...
Suddenly, I opened my eyes as I got up. My body is sore a bit but I looked fine.
"W-Where am I....?" I asked. I looked around and WHAT?!
My hands have five fingers. My skin is pale and fair. I am wearing a blue kamishimo and I have hair on my head. In short, I am human! And the worse case is....
I found myself inside of a cabin and it's on fire! I quickly got my feet and looking for a way out. The fire is spreading so fast! Falling debris never caught me but the smoke emitted is making me suffocate. While running, I saw a teenage girl wearing something like an armor. She was unable to walk straight for her right leg is bleeding.
I approached her and gave my hand to her, "Take my hand!"
She quickly grabbed it and we started to move away. Luckily, we found a way out and we make it there safely. Good thing at least, I can breathe more oxygen now. The girl made a sigh in relief. "I am grateful to you for saving me, young man." she said.
"Thank you, I am glad you are all safe and sound." I replied. I tried to examine the place where I am right now. There are cherry blossoms and temples were visible from afar....
I'M IN JAPAN???
I looked at the woman I saved just now. Judging by her kimono and armor, I think she is kind of a shinobi? Or a samurai? A daimyo?
Daimyo? Hold on. Her face is seems familiar. The place is kinda odd too. This is not the Japan I know! Realizing everything, I asked the woman. Her eyes were blue just like mine and it has a cold expression in it.
"Excuse me. I know this is a funny question but... what year is this?"
The woman gave me a puzzled look and replied, "It is 1502. To be exact, today is September 15, 1502. Why ask?"
September 15? A cabin in flames? 1502? T-then, this girl must be....
"W-who are y-you, by the way?"
Hearing my question, she started to laugh. What is something funny on my serious question?!
"What an awful joke. It is a shame for you don't know who I am. Let me intoduce myself." she said and stood up. I took a deep breath for her cold eyes were intimidating.
"I am (L/N) (Y/N), the Blue-Eyed Yokai Daimyo of the Kazenami Clan.
My eyes grew wider and let out a gasp in surprise.
