I'm sure some of you know of the item called Dragon and Kai (in heaven), if not it comes with a headband entitled Earth Worm Ninja Clan. I've decided to write a story about how the clan came to be.

War wreaked havoc over the entire planet; a worldwide fight for power; a fight for dominance. Ninja’s from every country were fighting for something that couldn’t be achieved through war: ultimate peace by world domination. The wise ninja’s who knew that the war was nonsense were among the first to die from the selfish greed of the power hungry monsters they once called comrades. The only bit of hope were the thousands of people who knew about the joke of war; they joined together to hold their ground. They were known as the Peace-Seekers, they traveled far across the world trying to stop the war. Elders, young adults, teenagers, even children of all ages traveled together as one. However they were slowly picked off by the power hungry ninja’s because the Peace-Seekers refused to fight back. The Peace-Seekers, their numbers now only in the 200’s decided that they would all be equal, and have no true leader; however one young man was looked up to as if he was their leader. His name was Ryuki; he was a young man in his mid 20’s with shoulder length coal black hair and violet eyes that held wisdom beyond his years. He wore tattered white pants and a torn, once long sleeved white shirt; over that he wore a sky blue vest. When asked why he wore such tattered clothes, and didn’t take clothes from villages like most of the others had done; he simply replied “You guys come first”.

The Peace-Seekers went from village to village trying to stop the war, often times they would come across a deserted village; Ryuki told them to find food, clothes, survivors; and nothing else. The strong, young people, who made up most of the Peace-Seekers, traveled on foot. The sick, elderly, and small children rode on the backs of Donkeys or Horses they would sometimes find in the long forgotten villages. One sunny morning as the Peace-Seekers traveled across an open plain, they were following a river that would hopefully lead them to a more peaceful and civilized land. They decided to stop to rest and catch fish. Ryuki dug into the ground to find worms as bait, as he dug he found two large worms together, one was tan colored; the other was a dark chocolate brown color. He thought they were strange but since they were plump; Ryuki decided to use them to hopefully catch a large fish. He hooked them both on his metal hook a cast it into the river. After about one hour of waiting he hooked a fish, some people grabbed his fishing pole to help him reel in the catch; they saw the fish jump and were amazed by the size of it. It was at least 20 feet long, how anything that size could fit into the river was unknown, but the Peace-Seekers wouldn’t back down. They fought the fish for what seemed like hours until the fish was finally caught. Ryuki walked around the fish to inspect it, he went to the fish’s mouth to remove the hook, and he found the dead remains of the two worms he used as bait. In that moment he realized:
“My friends, we are the worms!” Ryuki yelled as he held up the worm’s corpses. “We are the worms, this fish is what the rest of the world calls “peace”, they try to catch this peace and they aren’t scared to use us, and even kill us; to get what they want. I won’t allow this; I won’t let it end this way; there so called peace being reached while our forgotten corpses are left on the ground to rot! Ninja’s were once trained to keep the true meaning of peace, to make sure the rest of the world truly understood one another. We are the only ones who have remembered what our ancestors learned; and it is up to us to re-teach the world which has strayed from the original path. From this point onward we shall be our own ninja clan; and we shall only fight to keep real peace. We shall teach the world what we know, and one day we will see the world that our ancestors dreamed of. When these children grow up and raise their own families, it will be in a world of peace; and their children and their children’s children will know that their family was a part of it; they will know that their family…was a Peace-Keeper!” The newly founded ninja clan erupted in cheer, the children laughed and cheered, the adults hugged one another and the elders smiled for they knew the world would begin to change for the better.
Twenty years after that speech Ryuki was cleansing the world with his clan; they fought without killing so they could teach the people what peace truly was. In honor of the two seemingly insignificant worms, the clan was named the Earth Worm Ninja Clan; there motto was Sekaiheiwa, which meant World Peace, or Peace of the World. Ryuki went on to become the leader of the clan; he raised a family; careful to raise them in peace, and to teach them what the worms had taught him; long ago.

I hope you all enjoyed my story as much as I enjoyed writing it. Unless you can find a way for me to turn this into a real story without it sounding like Naruto let me know and I'll give it a shot; otherwise this is simply a one-shot story.
