Flicking matches as he walks down the street Junjo couldn't help be feel extremely bored. When he had decided to give his past the middle finger he had thought a more profound reaction would have taken place. At least someone should have come looking for him, yet here he was flicking lit matches like a child. As he continued down the street Junjo was suddenly stopped by a tap on his shoulder. Turning around Junjo was surprised to see an old man standing much shorter than he was tapping him with his cane. "Young man do you know the dangers of playing with matches? This street is where they make fireworks for different events at the hot springs. Now son I would like it if you would stop with the matches and go on your very way." The old man said. Looking around Junjo could see many random individuals staring and laughing.

As the old man was walking away Junjo couldn't help but feel like he was now the laughing stock of this entire village. What was he supposed to do now just let the old man go as if nothing had happened? "As if this old man is going to go down. Moving quickly Junjo made his way down the street into an ally, then with simple moves jumped his way onto the roof. Following the old man on the roofs it made it easy since people rarely look up. Sneaking along the roof Junjo had to be careful in small villages such as this it was very common for the roofing tiles to not be entirely sturdy. Making his way across the roof Junjo watched as the man took turns down different streets. It was rather surprising that the old man was able to walk so far with out a single rest. He must have made these walks very often if he has yet to grow tired in his old age.

As the old man made his way out of the village Junjo saw a single house on the outside of the village. It was obviously his home, now as far as revenge went there were many ways that he could go about it. As the old man entered the house Junjo began to think of the perfect way to get his revenge. Walking up to the building Junjo prepared his mind for what he was about to do. Taking in a deep breath Junjo popped his neck ready for what was to come next.

Reaching for the sword on his hip Junjo drew his blade slashing across the door, then with his blade high in the air and gripping the sword with both hands Junjo brought it back down in an X shaped cut. Now standing up straight Junjo delivered a kick to the now damaged door busting it open. Instantly spotting the old man Junjo dashed forward, by the look on the old mans face he was not expecting Junjo. Yet with speed you rarely see he brought his walking stick up as a man with weapons training would. Swinging his sword Junjo aimed for the man's chest in hopes of ending his life quickly. Blocking a metal on metal sound rang through the room. Glaring at the old man it was obvious to Junjo there was more to this old man than one would originally believe.

Pushing off of him the old man shoved Junjo back with strength rarely seen in men his age. Gripping his blade Junjo was ready for the old man, "My name is Miyamoto Musashi. Do not think for a second that it will be easy to defeat me when crossing swords. I am a master swordsman and you shall fall this day." The old man said as he gripped his walking stick tightly. In a slow pulling he slowly produced a blade from his walking stick. "So that explains why he was able to block my sword with his wooden stick." Junjo thought as he gripped his sword tighter. "My name is Shinamuri Junjo. You just pissed me off today and for that..." Taking an offensive stance, "You will die today." Dashing forwards the two swordsman clashed their blades together. Then in an almost artistic dance the two faced off moving their feet to try and get some sort of upper hand on the other. Making a perfect circle Junjo pushed off his opponent in an attempt to throw off his balance yet something like that would not be enough to throw his opponent off. In fact at the same moment the old man had pushed off in order to come around Junjo. Swinging his blade Junjo attempted to take his opponents head. Yet they now stood back to back the two swordsman moved around trying to get a moment to stab their opponent. Stepping backwards Junjo attempted to throw his opponent off with the move. Yet the old man was two steps ahead of him, reaching back with his free hand the old man grabbed Junjo's second blade and moved around him to avoid the back step. Now face to face Junjo took in his opponents face, the look of determination was amazing as his skill had not declined in his old age. Now that he had Junjo's second blade he knew that things were only starting to heat up.

Staring down his opponent who had taken one of his swords Junjo was thinking of what he should do against him. Yet Junjo did not have to think about it for the old man moved forward swinging Junjo's sword at him while at the same time prepping to jab his own sword into Junjo's neck. Dashing forward Junjo was ready to take his opponent. As his opponent swung the sword Junjo disappeared throwing his opponent off as he appeared below him. Delivering a quick kick to his chin Junjo sent his opponent flying into the ceiling above him. Where normally Junjo would appear behind him he instead stood still as his opponent dropped Junjo's sword.

Holding his hand up Junjo caught the sword that had been stolen from him, now fully looked up at his opponent. ven though he had a look of pain on his face he was now standing on the ceiling. Junjo could tell that the old man was beginning to get tired, which meant that unless he pulls off a winning move soon Junjo would be taking his life. Junjo knew full well he was thinking the same exact thing, yet at this moment the old man had the high ground or so to speak. Jumping at the old man Junjo swung his right sword in an attempt to disarm his opponent, while the other sword would be used to slash at his opponents unguarded chest. Yet things did not go as planned as the old man dropped at Junjo and with a twisting in the air dodged Junjo's first swrod then blacked his other sword and with his free hand delivered a very powerful punch to Junjo's chest sending him flying through one of the walls. As Junjo slid across the floor in the new room he attempted to catch the breath that had been knocked out of him.

As the old man stepped through the hole in his wall he gripped the sword in his hand tightly. Now standing Junjo looked the old man down. Dashing forward the old man swung his sword from low slashing into the ground, as the old man brought his blade up out of the ground it caused the flooring to blast towards Junjo in large shards. Ignoring most of the small shards Junjo also slashed through the larger bits of flooring. Yet in the last moment was barely able to block his opponents blade that was aimed at his neck. Using both blades Junjo held him from cutting his head off, yet with as much strength as he could muster began pushing the old man back.

Now in a deadlock pushing each other trying to get an upper hand on the other opponent. Junjo had to end this soon. Pushing off of his opponent Junjo landed with his feet on the wall, in a distraction move Junjo threw his extra blade at his opponent. The old man easily batted the sword up and caught it in hi spare hand and began making his way towards Junjo. Sheathing his sword into his hip sheath Junjo dashed towards his opponent using all of his speed. Gripping his blade as the two approached each other it was all or nothing this time.

The old man swung Junjo's sword in an attempt to block Junjo's slash that was coming, while also aiming his own sword at his opponents neck. Junjo however drew his sword with a speed rarely seen while focusing the chakra in his feet. If someone on the outside had seen it everything would have been over before they knew what was happening. Yet in a slowed moment the moves are clear, Junjo drawing his sword aimed right for his own sword. Slamming both swords against each other sent the sword in his opponents hand flying into the air. With the chakra focused on his feet Junjo slide around his opponent dodging his stab aimed at his neck. With his blade high in the air Junjo grabbed the handle with both hands and brought it down against the old man's back. Blood spraying into the air and still sliding Junjo returned with his back facing the old man crouching. As Junjo stopped moving his spare sword flew through the air. With perfect aim Junjo's extra sword landed right into its sheath. It was over standing up straight Junjo looked at the old man who's life he just took.

Standing above his now lifeless opponent Junjo looked him over, he had been a very skilled opponent it was almost a shame to have killed him. Yet Junjo could not forgive the old man's attempt at embarrassing him. Walking through the house Junjo began collecting every flammable item he could find. He had to hurry even thought the house was far from the village sounds do carry and the destruction would have carried to the village. Finding sake and other flammable liquids was not that hard which since most of it was normal stuff you would find in a house.

As he began to pour the liquids around the house Junjo took a moment to look at the dead body that now lay in the destroyed room. This man had proved a great opponent and Junjo was sure if he had been younger might have beaten him in fair combat. Pouring the only bottle of sake on the old man's body Junjo reached down and picked up his sword. Sliding it into his belt Junjo continued to walk around the house pouring the flammable liquids. When he felt sure that the fire would spread a decent amount he reached into his pocket and pulled out the very matches he had been playing with earlier in the day. Opening the box Junjo found only a single match remaining in the box. Pulling it from the box Junjo lit the match and set it on the edge of the liquid.

As the flames quickly spread through the building just as Junjo had hoped that it would. As he started walking away Junjo stabbed the old man's sword into the ground outside his house. "Should serve as your grave stone you old bastard." Junjo thought as he started to make his way towards the village again. Even as he entered the village he started to hear screaming from all the villagers as they made their way to the house. Looking back at the house that was now a full blaze Junjo couldn't help but smile at the blaze he created. Not only had Junjo burned down a house but he also the fact that he had found someone that was so skilled. Turning his back to the blaze Junjo began to make his way down the road he had started on. Picking up another book of matches Junjo quickly began to feel bored again and started lighting the matches he had picked up.
