"Waah..that's weak.."A little girl said with a small pout,while looking at her older green haired brother.
"It does..."The older male said.
"You can knock down 35 trees with your fist and kicks,why only 10 tho?"The little girl ask,looking at the down 10 trees in front of her brother.
"Sometimes,you just need a little bit of power,it always doesn't need to be in full power."The older male explained,as he pat his the h/c haire girl's head.
"Ooohhh....Well then,I'm gonna start working on using a little bit if power then!And then,I can be just as strong as you!"The little girl said in a determined voice.
"Or maybe stronger.."The older male said,as he ruffled his younger sister's hair.
"Enough chit chat,Aimi got Father to bake!You guys should go and see!"A blue haired boy exclaimed,from a few meters away.
"Eh?!Father's baking with Aimi-nee?!"The h/c haired girl ask in disbelief.
"Yea!c'mon!"The blue haired boy said,as he ran off.

"Kaizon-nii..tomorrow teach me how to use a little bit of my power!"The little girl said,looking at her older brother.
"Sure thing then."The male said,smiling softly at her youngest sister.Soon enough the girl ran off,followed by him.
'Be like me...hopefully you don't..your innocent is something that should be kept...at least for now...'

(A/n:Little younger Hachi is so adorable and cute and precious TvT i wanna adopt him-)
Rather then being day time,it is now night,and Y/n was currently hanging around in someone's place.

Y/n P.O.V.

I am currently in Joker's airship and we're also in Hachi's room,who was currently asleep.
"Joker...what exactly are you doing..?"I ask concern and curious as he was reading.
"I'm studying ninja art...also...aren't you cold?"Joker ask concern,looking at me.

(Yea this is what yer wearing minus the see through sleeves,like make it black or smth I guess:,)

"Not at all."I responded as he got up,and put something on his mouth.
"Ninja Art!Shadow Clones!"Joker yelled out,as Hachi woke up.
"Joker-san..what are you doing in my room?"Hachi ask concern.
"He said he's learning some Ninja Art."I answered.
"Oh,Y/n-san..You too?"Hachi ask.
"..not really,I'm just concern what this Ninja art is."I said,as he nodded.
"Why are you studying ninja arts,Joker-san?"Hachi ask,as he sat up,looking at his book next to Joker.
"That's my Ninjustsu School textbook."Hachi said,just then he look at Joker's feet,more likely he look at Joker's shoes.
"Shoes!Shoes!"Hachi yelled out,as joker fell down,Hachi was trying to get Joker's shoes out of his feet.
"I told you,you should've took your shoes off."I pointed out.
"I can't believe you stepped on Tatami mat while wearing shoes!"Hachi yelled.
"I can't believe you!This is my airship!You cant just redecorate with Tatami mats without asking!"Joker reasoned.
"I'm your excellent assistant Joker-san!You should let me do what I want with one or two rooms!"Hachi reasoned out.

"You,an excellent assistant?Have you ever been useful?"Joker ask,in a teasing manner.
"M-maybe not as a phantom thief yet...But I do all your cooking,laundry,and clean don't I?!If it weren't for me,Joker-san...Your living space would relapse back into a sloppy pile of garbage!"Hachi pointed out,as Joker fell.

~lil time skip after Joker basically explain what ya'all gonna do~

"What's wrong with you?You seem pretty worked up."Joker said,looking at Hachi.
"If you want mochi,you can call me a mochi-maker!This,time I'll show you how uselful,I can ve as a ninja Phantom thief!"Hachi exclaimed quietly,but loud enough to be heard.
"A mochi-maker,for mochi,huh?I do think you'd be better at making mochi than being a ninja or a phantom thief."Joker said in a teasing tone,making Hachi pout.
"I'm gonna show you what I can really do!"Hachi said,while pouting,he was first to run,as me and Joker followed.

As we ran,the two doors that were in front of us,suddenly opened,as mans with mask on their face ran on different kinds of directions.
"Find Joker!"The one on the middle said.The man ran pass us.
"This is my camouflage technique!Cool huh?"Hachi said,looking at Joker.
'More like of invisibility cloth.'I thought,looking at the cloth that Hachi lend me.
"Anyways,let's use this as our chance and hurry!"Hachi said,walking,but step on something sharp.
"Ouch!ouch!"Hachi exclaimed,holding his left foot.
"Th-these are makibishi.Be careful not to step in them.."Hachi said,holding some kind of small needle like.
"Your the only one that would step on those."Joker said,sweat dropping.
"This is a water concealment technique!Cool right?"Hachi said,holding up bamboo.
'...Human's cant hold their breath longer in water..'I thought,looking at the bamboo Hachi lend me.
"Its the most basic of basic,even I could do this."Joker said,prideful.While Hachi tried to snap his bamboo using his teeth.

"Next time,I'll show you a really cool ninja art.um..uh..er--"Hachi said,as he walk into something that made clanging sounds of wood.
Soon enough a light was now looking at us.

"There they are!The phantom thieves!"One if the mask man,yelled out,announcing our arrival and present.
"Oh no!"Hachi yelled in panic.
"Darn it!"Joker said,as he ran off,followed by me and Hachi.
"Stop them!"The mask man yelled,a mask guy was fast,that it was waiting for us on the stairs,using his sword to intimidate us,which Joker seemed to have already have a plan.
"What?"The mask man ask confused,as Joker use the mask man's head to take a leap,knocking the guy in the process,me and Hachi followed.
"Joker-san Y/n-san!wait for me!"Hachi telled out,a few meters away from me.
"There they are!get them!"Some people yelled out,from upstairs,as Joker ran to the right side,me and Hachi following again.
"Get back here!Get them!"The mask man's yelled,chasing us.

"Their so many of them.."I said,sighing dissapointed.
Joker,halt and stop,his feet making a screeching sound,as he face the guys with mask.
"They'll catch us,if we go on ahead,You two can go ahead!"Joker said,as I look at him.
"You won't be able to-"Before I could finish myself,Joker cut me off.
"Y/n,I can handle myself..Hachi may need some assistance from you,plus I'll catch on!"Joker said,reassuring me giving a wink at the end of the sentence,as I sigh.
"Fine,but you better be in one piece."I said,as he nodded.
"Now get going!"Joker told us,as me and Hachi ran.
"Straight flash!"I hear Joker yelled out,from the distance.

"Hachi,I feel like your blaming yourself,and basically it's not fully your fault-"I said,but suddenly wind surrounded me and Hachi.
"Hachi,get close."I said.
"Accursed burglars..you won't escape me!"A man's voice yelled.
"Hachi..what kind of Ninja art is this?"I ask,as I got my dagger out,while hachi got his small sword suitable for him.
"T-this is the ninja art'leaf hiding!'"Hachi said,as I nodded.
"Where is he.."Me and Hachi ask no one in particular,while looking around.A man chuckling was heard from above,as me and Hachi look up to see a red haired boy,with a sword on his mouth.
"Too slow!"The man yelled out,as he went to Hachi,who tried to fight but his sword was thrown to the other side,I went in front of Hachi,my dagger ready.I saw Joker in the corner if my eyes.
'He kept his words.'I thought relieved,but cant relax more,since someone is in front of me ready to literally slash me into half.

"Your luck,ran out when you infiltrated,our castle.I will have your life."The male said,as he got his other sword out.
'Oh dear...I can't summon my own sword!I still haven't have my other dagger!'I thought,slightly panicking.
'...I can do this..This is like any other training,plus his human when I'm literally the youngest daughter of-'Before I could finish my sentence the male cut me off.
"Farewell!"The man yelled,as he was about to slash me in half,but I managed to stop it with my dagger,while my other hand was stopping his sword,my hand now slightly bleeding,the guy threw me off,the side.
"Y/N!"Joker and Hachi yelled out.
'Ow..'I thought,holding my back.
"I'll end this one first."The red hair guy said,as he was about to slash Hachi is three pieces.
"HACHI!!!!"Me and Joker screamed,but before the guy could even kill Hachi,he stop,midway close to Hachi's body.

"Hachi?Are you Hachi from Fuma?"the guy ask,looking at Hachi with his uncovered red eyes.
"Eh?Are you Hyakimaru-san?"Hachi ask,as I sweat drop and Joker fell his face first.
"No way!Fancy meeting you here!"Hachi said,with sparkles in his eyes.
"..This is confusing.."I said dumbfounded.
"I know.."Joker said,as he somewhat went to Hachi.
"Hachi.Who's this?"Joker ask quietly.
"This isy senpai from Ninjutsu School!Hyakimaru-san of Koga!"Hachi introduce.
"Eh?Did you say Hachi?"One of the mask guys ask.
"Shisuke!Jinzo!Ranjiro!"Hachi said happily,as he pointed at the people.
"...I'm not sure how to react.."I deadpan,as Joker had a deadpan expression.

"What,are these all friends of yours?"Joker ask,looking at Hachi with a 'Are-you-sirius' expression.
"Yes!"Hachi exclaimed.
"Us ninja's when we're kids,come from all different villages to train at the same Ninjutsu School!Out of all of us,Hyakimaru-san was the kind of Ninja genius who only comes around omce in a decade!Everyone admired him!And even though I was clumsy he always helped me..."Hachi explained.
"That's sweet."I said,imagining how the red haired guy would help Hachi.
"They called you Crybaby Hachi.You'd do something clumsy and start crying right away."The guy said,looking at Hachi,who seems to be a bit embarrassed.Joker on the other hand seemed to be bored out,but interested at the same time.

"They said Hachi was the kind of ninja failure who only comes around once in a decade."One of the Ninja guy said.

"The teacher Hattori-sensei always got so mad at me.."Hachi said embarrassed,while scratching his nape.Joker seemed to be bored.
"You showed up so suddenly I almost killed you accidentally.I thought you must be working with the phantom thief Joker."The red haired guy said.
'Accidentally....'I thought sweat dropping.
"Um...I'm actually am.."As Hachi said that,the man immediately drop both his sword.
"Y-your a phantom thief..?"The red hair ask in disbelief,while pointing at Hachi.
"Yes!"Hachi answered.The other started laughing.
"No way!The ninja failure Hachi,a kaitou?"Some of the guy said.
"You gotta believe me!"Hachi said,as he went in front of Joker and me.
"I'm Joker-san's assistant! I became a phantom thief!"Hachi exclaimed.
"Are you serious?"The red hair ask.
"Y-yes!"Hachi exclaimed.
"I see..Hachi,I won't say anything against you.Quit this Phantom thief business immediately,and return to Fuma."The red haired said,making Hachi slightly confused.
"I'm sorry,but you have no talent for being a phantom thief.Just now,you were tripping up,your partner,Joker and...this girl..."The red haired said.
'Ok,that was just mean.'I thought.
"If you continue this way,some day you may lose your life.You aren't cut out for the dangerous work of a phantom thief."The red hair said,as I look at Joker,who doesn't seem to have any expression.Hachi on the other hand was shock and had a 'You-just-crush-my-dream' expression like.Hachi fell onto his knees.

"He's so right!"Joker exclaimed,pointing at the red haired while having sparkles all over his eyes.The other just almost fell as I sigh,face palming.
"JOKER-SAN/JOKER!!AT TIMES LIKE THIS YOUR SUPPOSED TO SAY 'THAT'S NOT TRUE!'"Me and Hachi scolded at Joker.
"Oh whoops.I accidentally said what I really think."Joker said.
"I'm/He's trying the best he/I can!That's so mean!"Hachi and I fumed,as Joker put both his hand in defense.
"Joker-san!You jerk!"Hachi yelled out,as he pounce onto Joker,as I did not expect that.
"Eh..Who knew he had it in him.."I muttered,as the two started to fight.As Hachi started calling him out.Soon enough it grew quiet,and they were both running.

"WAIT FOR ME!!"I yelled out,as I ran after them.
"Their going to steal the treasure!"The red haired guy said.
"I'll take care of them!You go on ahead!"Hachi said.
"Sure!"Joker and I exclaimed.
"Ninja Arts!Shadow clone technique!"Hachi yelled out.
"No way!Hachi can't use a technique that difficult."One of the guy said.
"I only cloned my shadows!"Hachi said in panic.As the other's captured him.
"Help me,Joker-san!"Hachi yelled out.
"Joker-"Before i could said anything else,he sigh in disappointment.
"Handle it yourself,for once."Joker said.
"Huh?!"Me and Hachi ask in confusion.
"I'm sick of you tripping me up all the time."Joker said coldly,as he jump off.
'...what..what did I just witnessed..'I thought,as I look at Hachi.
'...What do I do now..?'I thought,sighing I decided to follow Joker.
'...I'll just see what happens for now..'I thought.

"Joker..why were you so mean to Hachi?I mean he does trip you but,he always tries to make it up for you..."I ask slightly mad and felt bad for Hachi.
"I was just saying what I meant."Joker said.
"That was still cold of you..Hachi always tries his best,just be patient and someday he may do his best,and maybe become a better phantom thief."I said,as Joker didn't respond.
'Odd..'I though to myself looking at Joker.
'He's never quiet..sometimes on stealing he is..but never this quiet..'I thought,slightly suspicious of him.
"That's it,huh?"Joker said,looking at the gold fish thing.

"That's far enough Joker!"The same guy said.
"Hyakimaru!"Joker exclaimed.
'Just how do human's do those stuff...I remember Human's being powerless and so on...I've seen Kaizon-nii do what they called leaf hiding.'I thought,my eyebrows furrowed.
"Why did you abandon him?I thought Hachi was your partner!"Hyakimaru said,as he seems to be angry.Joker didn't say anything.

"Aren't you going to say something?"Hyakimaru ask mad.
"To value thievery over your partner...I cannot stomach such an attitude!I shall punish you without hesitation!"Hyakimaru yelled out,as he jump towards ready to slash him.
'Well considering the fact this is normal on Earth..I can actually use a little bit of my power...thought what excuse am I suppose to have?..I'll think if that later.'I thought to myself,as I look at Joker,who was glad he wasnt cut into pieces..yet..
"What's wrong?Is that all Phantom thief Joker has to offer?"Hyakimaru ask.Hyakimaru started to try and slash Joker as I stand there thinking what to do.
'I'm not sure it's a good thing,I'm letting Joker get slash,but his dodging it so that's a good thing,thought their gonna ask me how I can heal and such more.What am I gonna say?I'm a witch or something?Well precisely I am something-but in a good way...I think.'I thought.
"Stop running already!"Hyakimaru yelled,as he threw one of his sword to Joker.
'..I should've just help him,but he still deserves it..AAACK!WHAT DO I DO?!NII-CHAAAAANNNN!!!'I mentally screamed,as I ran towards Joker,but I was too late,Hyakimaru has his sword in front of Joker.
"All right listen closely,Joker.Hachi may be clumsy but he's a very good person.For him to become a phantom thief,of all things...If it hadn't been for you..He never would have strayed from the shinobi's path!"Hyakimaru yelled out in frustration and anger.
"Your wrong!It was Hachi himself who decided to be a phantom thief!"Joker yelled out,as he...threw Hyakimaru's sword using...his sword..?
'...don't tell me...'I thought to myself as I was starting to connect a few dots.
Jokee jump of the roof.
"You wont get away!"Hyakimaru yelled.
"Koga Secret Ninja Arts!Dragon King inferno!"Hyakimaru yelled,as For consumed bis body and a...dragon was formed.
'...fire...phoenix..how can a human do and let out such power.'I thought amaze,soon enough the Dragon ate Joker.
"AAAAAAHHH!!!JOKER'S BEEN EATEN!!!!"I screamed in panic.Joker's burned body fell onto the pond that we were hiding earlier.
I immediately jump down,and rush into the pond.
'...oh...why am I feeling overwhelmed about this?!'I thought,as I looked at the pond,Hyakimaru went towards the pond to look at where Joker fell.
"Don't hold a grudge.This was fate,that's all."Hyakimaru said.
"..I know.."I muttered,still feeling overwhelmed and slightly guilty about Joker's death.
"The moon is certainly bright this night...A fitting death for a phantom thief."Hyakimaru said,just then a log was presented.
"Huh?!Is that..the substitution technique?"Hyakimaru ask in disbelief.
"...He was learning ninja arts earlier.."I said,slightly sweat dropping remembering how he snuck in Hachi's room.
"Are you saying he can use Ninja Arts,too?!"Hyakimaru ask in disbelief.
"Well I wouldn't say-"before I could finish I was cut off.
"That's right!"Joker's voice!yelled from above.
"JOKER!YOUR ALIVE!"I exclaimed happy.

"Joker!Why can you use Ninja arts?"Hyakimaru ask.
"Cause I studied them!"Joker said,as I jump up to ran towards him.
"Your alive!!"I exclaimed again,grabbing his arm shaking him.
Just then an explosion was heard from above,as I look up.
"Joker what have you done?!"Hyakimaru ask.
"Hachi?!What are you doing?"Hyakimaru ask.
"Your to late now su!"Joker said.
"Su?"Hyakimaru ask confused.
"Not even you can protect the treasure from there Hyakimaru-San.So it was gonna be my job to lure you put here Hyakimaru-San."Joker said.
"That speech pattern.You..no it can't be!"Hyakimaru said in disbelief as Joker went big and pop,showing Hachi,as the same thing happened to the other Hachi although showing Joker.
"Hachi and Joker..you switch places?"Hyakimaru ask in disbelief.
"Joker!Your alive!"I yelled out,as I jump to the other roof shaking him.
"Then the person I've been fighting all this time...Hachi was it you?"Hyakimaru ask.
"Yes!"Hachi said.
"Incidentally,I'm not the one who thought of this plan.It was Hachi!Back then.."Joker began as he explained what Hachi told him earlier when they were 'fighting'.
"I see,and then,disguise as Joker you pretended to run away...all to lure him/me away from the treasure."Me amd Hyakimaru said.
"That's right!"Joker exclaimed.
"I'm sorry I tricked you!I wanted to win against the ninja Hyakimaru I wanted to win as a phantom thief!"Hachi yelled determined.
"I'm a phantom thief!"Hachi said proudly as he ran off following me and Joker.
"How are the preparation?"Hachi ask,as Joker gave a thumbs up.
"Get back here
