Kuuga Gai

[Kuuga Gai]

I... I've never

seen a baby as

powerful as you!

G-get away, you

freak of nature!

Hm? Have you come to

learn how to be a Ninja?

You're not quite experienced

enough yet, so come back

after you're more familiar

with fighting monsters.

[

Excuse me.

H-hello?

...............................

How did you do that?

Do what? I didn't

do anything, I don't think...

H-How are you able to

see me? I'm supposed to

be invisible to the naked eye.

Ah, now I get it. Wildcat Joe

must have sent you to kill me! I won't fall for your tricks! Die!

W-wait! I-I don't even

know who Wildcat Joe is!

Calm down, there's no

need to get violent!

What...?

How did you dodge

all of my attacks?

You've got some talent,

I'll give you that.

I came here hoping

to change my job

to a Ninja.

...Oh. Is that all?

Hmm, you've got great

potential, but I can't help

you now. I've got too many

enemies, and I can't let my

guard down for even a second.

That Wildcat Joe is

completely ruthless...!

He could strike at any time!

He'll do anything to achieve

victory over his enemies!

Wait, wait, I just

thought of something.

Maybe you can help me out.

Do what I ask, and I'll teach

you a few of my skills if you

really want to be a Ninja.

Hm? Well, alright.

Still, I don't see

why we can't help

each other in this

little predicament...

Great! Now, I wanted to

ask Wildcat Joe if he'd

agree to a temporary truce.

I'm aware that both of us

are out of weapons, so we

should get well equipped first.

Please take this letter,

and deliver it to Wildcat

Joe in Einbroch. He's a master

of disguise, so keep a careful

eye out for him. Ah, and look

for him in a high place.

Yeah, Wildcat Joe

always did have a thing

for hiding in high places.

Anyway, after you give him

the letter, come back and

let me know his answer.

Even if this task

isn't that urgent,

please hurry over to

Einbroch and deliver

my letter to Wildcat Joe.

Did you deliver that

letter to Wildcat Joe?

I still need to know his

response to my proposal

for a truce. Anyway, see

if you can needle him for it.

Ah, you've returned.

So did Wildcat Joe send

you back here with his

response? Great, great,

please let me read it.

What...?! How could he

reject my proposal for

a truce?! This can only

mean that he's made another

Kunai. Nuts! I have to catch

up to him, or I'm a goner!

Listen, you've got to help

me out again! I need you to

gather some materials so that

I can craft my own Kunai to fight Wildcat Joe. Then, I'll go ahead

and change your job to a Ninja.

All you need

to bring me is

5 Cyfars and

1 Phracon.

Please get those

as quickly as you can!

Huh? That's funny,

Wildcat Joe actually

asked me to gather

those same materials.

Curses! Then that means...

You actually helped Joe

in crafting his Kunai! No!

I should have thought about

that earlier! Well, it's too

late now. Just h-hurry it up!

Hurry and bring

1 Phracon to me,

so that I can craft

my own Kunai to use

against Wildcat Joe!

Whoa, whoa...

You still have some

leftover Skill Points.

You'd better spend all

of them before you

change jobs, right?

Ah, you're back with

everything that I need.

You've come earlier than

I expected, eh? Great,

as promised, I'll turn

you into a Ninja.

Let me formally introduce

myself. I am High Ninja Kuuga Gai

in the Touga Ninja Corps, and

I'm in charge of the search

party to find Sir Kazma.

Sir Kazma is the chief

of my village, but he's

run away. This has resulted

in an internal conflict within

the Ninja Corps. Things are

pretty unstable right now...

I initially didn't want to

accept you as a Ninja because

of this complicated situation.

However, you've proven that

you're truly worthy of joining

the Ninja ranks.

According to his letter, even

Joe thinks highly of you. Just

remember that, as a Ninja, your

mission is your highest priority. But don't let mission objectives

supersede your conscience.

''Secrecy above all else.''

To keep our secrets in the

shadows, you can only buy

or sell Ninja weapons with

authorized dealers. Please

keep that in mind.

As of today, you are

now a proud member of the

Touga Ninja Corps. Be as

agile as the wind, and as

quiet as the falling shadows.

How have you been?

Train hard: you want

to be able to vanish

without a trace. If you

can do that, you'll get

the respect of any Ninja~

How were you able

to find me hidden

in the shadows?!

You must be more than

a common adventurer, eh?
