Naraki Rou, Shuzi, and Tanaki were the first leaders of the Ganko Village. They were the first leaders of the Ganko Village, and they were the ones who turned it into a hidden village guarded by a total of twenty shadow guard swordsmen from the North, East, South, and West.
They have stood guard over the village for many years. They rebuilt everything in their village, and their village's economy grew every week, making them one of the richest villages in the wild.
Near regions arose near Ganko Village. And as a result, they all became prosperous, just like Ganko Village. These areas supply the village, which also produces more. The villages benefited the regions by providing them with goods.
Until a massacre occurred one day. Because of their greed, the three heads were betrayed and killed by their own people. The other nations force their swordsmen to return home because they now value their lives more than the lives of the people. And this is where the newborn children's lives took a turn for the worse.
New village leaders were appointed, and they led the village to ruin, causing more people to suffer and become greedy. They manipulate people into becoming monsters. These three heads severed ties with other giant nations because three of them became spoiled and believed they could handle their own and grow larger, but they were mistaken.
Before the three heads died, they ensured the young ones' hope and future by building hidden bunkers that only the General of Ganko Village is aware of. He is one of the few deserving generals described as a true brave general and a loyal general. He protects people's loyalty and lives. He prioritizes the lives of children over those of adults.
General McDean is a former Shira Swordsman and a shadow guard swordsman of the heads. He is known for his bravery and true leadership, as well as for always making the right decisions, even in the end. He has saved millions of lives, served the four great nations, and is on the same level as Hashira.
He was alone in the fight, and he was alone as he watched people suffer. He has witnessed children dying and once witnessed Kenki and Katsuki being thrown in an alley by their father while their mother begged.
It was agonizing to watch, but he couldn't do anything because he'd be exiled. The heads of other giant nations told him to go back if he could or if he wanted and let the village die and be killed, but he didn't because there are children with potential and genuine kindness in their hearts, but they were in pain. Even in their minds, General McDean can see what their hearts truly are. He can see them, which is why he is known as different in other countries.
General McDean, not Shimodo Rou, was the true savior of Katsuki and Kenki. He saved the two of them, but not their mother from the harsh reality. She dies in agony from the thought of losing her two sons. Her own husband allowed her to starve and thirst to death.
At the time, General McDean was on his way to Shimodo Rou's father to transfer the two children to safety and help them achieve their goals in life. It was already late for their mother when he returned. He couldn't stand it that he lied about the locations of the hidden bunkers. He didn't let the filthy new Ganko Village leaders discover the hidden bunkers easily.
He recruited soldiers from the army of the heads to be loyal swordsmen. He was almost exiled again in the end, but he completes his mission. He was able to recruit half of the army, transforming them into real men who followed the orders of giant nations and only him.
Gankarina Rou, Niridi, and Tawaki were the names of the greedy heads. They were the Ganko Village's new and current leaders, and they were the ones who led it to chaos and destruction.
Everything went wrong when they sat down in the head office and began giving commands and working. Even the shadow guard swordsmen and the general weren't expecting a disaster. They trusted them, and now they've been betrayed.
It made them believe so strongly that they believed the people you trust the most could break you the most. The three current new leaders of Ganko Village lied to the people and thought they were the best, but they weren't.
General McDean conducted his own investigation into the three new heads' backgrounds and discovered that they were past traitors who had somehow become heads. He suspected something was wrong, but the village was attacked while he was investigating.
He thought they were working for the darks and were going to betray every nation in a single day, causing a massive fall and a great war. He wasn't wrong, but some of his information was incorrect.
__________________________________________
The sun shines brightly and peacefully in the sky. The Ganko Village had been completely destroyed, and there were no signs of life except for the dead. You could see destruction and blood splattered everywhere you looked, including the path and the way.
The disappearance of the Capital Building remained a mystery. Katsuki and Kenki were still trying to figure out where the Capital Building was in the world. They both wondered as a loud explosion erupted at the back of the Ganko Village's gate.
Kenki and Katsuki are aware of it, but they ignore it as they hear the massive gate collapsing. They could see the massive watch tower falling to the ground from afar. It slammed into a section of the wall as well as slammed into and destroyed the ground. It made a loud noise that they could hear from a long distance away. A forest can be seen in the far back gate, but it is not dense.
The giant trees were spread out, but beautiful sunflowers and giant oak trees can be seen from a distance. The giant branches and leaves of the giant trees were thicker than an average human.
Katsuki was walking west on a bloody path, past destroyed three-story modern houses on both sides. There was blood splattered on the ground and a dead human everywhere he looked. There were also a few dead soldiers around him.
He was walking west when he raised his head and looked up to see the massive walls of Ganko Village. He sighs and continues walking. After a few minutes, he began to sense life far beneath him, but it was only a faint presence. That prompted him to take a look around.
He looks to his left and sees a massive church that has been completely destroyed in half. The house was surrounded by black flames, which caused him to vanish and hide in the shadows. Inside the church, he sensed Dark Enemies.
He was startled to hear a loud banging noise coming from inside. It sounded like a metal noise, but he assumed it was the sword striking something hard. As a result, he drew his sword in the shadows. He was beneath the rubble of a massive house that had also been destroyed.
He began walking, holding his sword menacingly in his right hand, and approached the church's front door. He cleared his throat and walked past the black flames, calm and cautious. He didn't even flinch when his feet came into contact with the black flames.
He gets to the church's closed door because half of it was destroyed and the other half was still standing. He walked inside after opening the door with his left hand.
He noticed a huge hole in the middle of the church in the distance. That made him smile and re-sheathe his sword for some reason. As he approaches the hole, he sighs and looks down.
He casts a glance, and what he sees causes his eyes to widen. He notices a metal ground and a circled metal door for bunkers. That caused his eyes to widen and his ears to ring.
The wind blew from behind him, causing him to turn around and see a soldier holding his sword appear out of nowhere. He swung his sword from right to left, aiming for his neck. He crouches, avoids his blade, and punches the soldier in the gut, causing him to drop his sword and kneel on the ground.
"Helpless, weak," Katsuki said as he turned around, his eyes widening as he saw three Dark swordsmen holding their black flaming energized swords, ready to swing their swords down at him.
As he took a step back, the soldier grabbed both of his feet from behind, coughing and spitting blood. When he heard the soldier giggling from behind, the blade of their swords was about to strike him.
Katsuki immediately reaches for his sword in his left waist, drawing it with incredible force and grip. He swung it at the three Dark swordsmen who appeared from the hole in front of him, cutting their heads and blades. As he stared, the soldier's eyes widened as he saw their heads fall back to the hole with their bodies, the blades of their swords flying out into the open.
As the soldier behind him let go of his feet, the three Dark swordsmen turned to dust. He then turned around and kicked the soldier in the chin and face with his left leg.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?! What I'm seeing here is you and your filthy Dark swordsmen attempting to open a bunker and slaughter children? Is that what's going on here, huh? Soldier?" Katsuki said angrily but calmly as he approached the soldier who rolled to the ground as soon as he kicked him.
"I-I don't have a choice," he grunted, making Katsuki even angrier as he menacingly stroked his sword and stretched his neck and shoulders. He feels a presence approaching outside the church. He concealed his intimidating presence by becoming calm and pure, with no intent or anything.
"And what choice do you have?" he asked menacingly as he approached the soldier who reached for a chair and attempted to stand. Because of Katsuki's gut punch, he kept coughing and dripping blood from the side of his mouth.
"To live! There are other bunkers out there where my son is! They kept their promise that they won't attack my son's bunker, which consists of other more children, if they tell me where the other bunkers are! I'm sorry! I was desperately saving her! Please, she's the only one, she's the only family I have..." the soldier sobbed. Katsuki paused and sighed as tears streamed down his cheeks.
He witnesses the soldier's genuine emotions, as well as his desperation and frustration to save his only child. Katsuki suspected he was the village's only soldier still alive. He cleared his throat as someone slammed into a wall to his right, causing him to look up.
He notices a dark arrow piercing a wall and flying toward him. He raised his right hand and swung his sword to the right towards the arrow as soon as he reached it, deflecting it.
He returns his gaze to the wall, which has begun to crumble. An unknown dark swordsman with an arrow and a sword in his left waist appeared. As he strokes his blade menacingly, he senses something different about the unknown.
"Looks like we've got an unexpected visitor... Who are you? You don't have a presence, which led me to believe you're a Hashira," the unknown dark swordsman said menacingly. He wore a dark hood, and dark energy surrounded his bow, arrow, and sword. His right hand and wrist are encircled by dark magic.
"Your guess is incorrect, I'm just a Shira, and what do you care?" he replied, clearing his throat. He notices the dark swordsmen approaching the soldier to his right slowly.
"Hmnn, well then, I apologize for being wrong, who are you anyway?" the dark swordsman asked menacingly as he approached the soldier, who moved away from him immediately.
"Don't come near me! Don't you dare!" screamed the soldier as he crawled backwards until he reached a wall. He leaned on it as he stood, staring at the dark swordsmen who approached him menacingly while smiling.
"You heard the man... Don't approach him," Katsuki said menacingly as he turned to his left and saw the Dark swordsman who came to a halt as soon as he heard him speak.
"And who do you think you are?" he asked, threateningly, as Katsuki stroked his sword. He notices the dark swordsman draw his darkening sword and place his bow behind his back.
As he suddenly flew towards Katsuki, he approached her. As soon as he took off, he heard a cracking noise and arrived at Katsuki within seconds. He swung his sword down, and Katsuki raised his, causing their swords to collide violently.
They then exchanged collisions with the blades of their swords several times before being sent back a distance apart. Katsuki's aura was changing, and the air around him was becoming heavier.
"I've been having problems lately... And I'm really pissed off that I can't handle forgiveness. I can't forgive anyone anymore because of someone like you lurking around in our world," Katsuki said menacingly, the air around him becoming heavy as lead. As he realized it was pointing at him, the dark swordsmen sensed it.
"Like I said, what do you care?" the dark swordsmen asked again, making Katsuki even angrier. He raised his left leg and stepped it to the ground with great force, destroying the ground and creating massive cracks before sprinting to him.
He then swung his sword from right to left, but the dark swordsmen had already jumped into the air. He notices him re-sheathing his darkening sword and grabs his bow behind his back with an arrow. He then shot an arrow at him and let go of the bow's thread.
The arrow flew straight at him, but he immediately leaped into the air in front of him and dodged it. When he saw Katsuki in front of him, the dark swordsman's eyes widened.
His eyes widen as he notices Katsuki's blade approaching his neck. He then smiled as he realized the arrow had not struck the ground. As soon as he cut the heads of the dark swordsmen, he turned around. He decapitated him as soon as he turned around and saw an arrow about to hit him right in the forehead.
He avoids it in mid-air by lowering his head and twisting himself. As his head and body fell to the ground, the dark swordsman's eyes widened. Katsuki landed gently on the ground, as the soldier leaning against a wall couldn't believe his eyes. The dark swordsman's body and head turned to ash, leaving behind his darkening bow, arrow, and swords.
"W-who are you...? You annihilated a dark swordsman in seconds... You're a Hashira, aren't you?" the soldier inquired, seeing hope. Katsuki looks at him, notices his smile, and begins crying quietly.
"I'm just a Shira, didn't you hear me say that?" Katsuki sighed and turned around. He re-sheathed his sword and moved closer to the hole in the distance.
"Hey... I don't care what happens to me now that you're here. If you're going to kill me, do it. I think I've assured the safety of my daughter," the soldier said quietly, lowering his head.
Katsuki came to a halt and stared at the soldier. He realizes he has no regrets if he dies today. Katsuki smiled as he raised his head and looked up at the sky.
"Don't trust someone like that, soldier, because other people don't do their part considering these Darks, they are worse than those kinds of people. Consider that as a warning, now stand and be with me for some time and I will kill you If you try killing me again or if you try betraying someone again," Katsuki said joyfully as he sounded angry at the end. He got closer to the hole in the distance.
He jumped down and touched down the bunker as soon as he reached the hole. He notices it's pure metal and realizes he can't cut it with his sword. From above, he could hear the soldier approaching. That prompted him to look up and notice the soldier kneeling next to the hole.
"How to open it is a code. Punch that metal thing twice and become silent and count to five then punch it again twice. There's a soldier inside who will open it for you," the soldier said as Katsuki nodded in the hole.
He did as he was told, and after a few moments, the door leading to the bunker's interior began to open. He takes a step back and notices a metal ladder on the side that is connected to the walls.
He then looked down and noticed a sword blade pointing at his neck and a swordsman coming out angry. He realizes he's aiming his sword at a swordsman. As soon as he realized it was an ally, he re-sheathed his sword. As he sees the unknown sigh in relief, Katsuki makes an innocent face.
"Good thing those darks were taken care of, and I'm guessing that swordsman is you. Thank you," the swordsman said as Katsuki moved behind him and looked down at the bunker, sensing the lives of countless people. They were still alive because he saw a child at the bottom of the bunker holding their teddy bears and another unknown soldier looking up at him. He can also sense them.
"A rescue army will arrive tomorrow, you'll have to go down there again. The surface isn't safe, and you all don't want to see it," Katsuki said solemnly, as the soldier behind him sighed and made a sad face.
"OK, I got it. I'll go down there for now; send my regards to General McDean!" he exclaimed happily. He became more upbeat when he noticed Katsuki turn around and look at him as if something was wrong.
"Where is General McDean? I didn't see him, I and my friend checked a lot of places today and no sign of that man," Katsuki said. That caused the swordsman to pause as he moved in front of him, about to descend the bunker.
"I guess, Sir... He hasn't returned. He was sent out on a mission to one of the regions by the heads but that wasn't the case. It was a trap and that's all I know now. I know it was a trap because I received a letter from a bird coming from General McDean, I don't know where he is now," the swordsman said worriedly, causing Katsuki to sigh and shake his head left and right. The bunker closed again, and he jumped out of the hole without being noticed by the soldier.
"You're with me, soldier; don't do anything stupid; you follow me and only me or else... We'll find the other bunkers on the west side of this village," he said as he sees the soldier made an expressionless face. He quickly followed from behind, grabbing his sword with his right hand on the ground. He then sheathed it again.
"I'm sorry," the soldier said as Katsuki ignored him. They've left the church. Another line of dead bodies on the ground in front of the church in the distance, blood splattered everywhere in the path. The soldier's eyes widened in terror as Katsuki remained serious and unfazed.
