The Perfect Assassins (Part 3)

First before I continue this story I think I should explain somethings that I forgot to tell you. When I said that I saw an ordinary elderly man, you might have pictured your grandfather or someone older than that. The thing is though ninjas don’t really age. We can die in a fight and by age but you can’t tell. Also an ordinary elderly man doesn’t  wear ninja suits. They retire their uniform and dress up as an average adult on your world. Also if you really thought about this, you might think,”If every one's a ninja, how do people die?” Well obviously not everyone is perfect. There are traps and of course we are sort of like average humans, we can evolve our technology and adapt like living things. The new adaptions and evolutions usually mean an end to a gang, usually the number one gang.

So, I walked out of the room and towards our forest.  Our forest has a really cool transportation. On the tree was this cart, not like a mine cart, more like a roller coaster seat but we call it a cart. Anyways, the cart was on a railroad and the railroad branched off to other trees. This sort of transportation isn’t super fast but it allows you to stay hidden and be a bit lazy of course which is why a lot of people don’t use it more than once a month. I hopped in to the cart and turned it on maneuvering through the tons of trees we have. I made it to the ‘city’, notice how we have little marks around it. That’s because it’s not an actual city. It’s mostly made up of houses for the retired and a few stores for food. Of course it’s all hidden well, it would look like any other part of the planet I live on which is Jupiter. I immediately saw him walking down the street minding his own business. He’s not trying to be hidden because we usually leave the retired alone.

It came down to the hardest part. Assassination. Even for us perfect assassins it can be hard at times. I needed to stay calm because panicking almost always gives you away. I swiftly, which I hope you remember is VERY FAST,  snuck up behind him. I was in the motion of pulling my sword out and slicing him. Also an interesting fact is that a ninja’s sword case is bigger than the sword itself to make the motion of pulling the sword out much faster. Before I sliced him I realized something, this was a bit too easy. I thought about it even more, this is WAY too easy. I knew immediately after that, that this was a trap. Sad part is though that there was no way I could stop swinging and save myself. The second the blade touched, he exploded.
