Shouldn't have left him alone.....

"Now I will ask you again, Mr...Why did you steal from the village?" Ezra would ask the man who was nailed to the table and tied to the chair, and who was barely alive at the moment. Ezra would slam his fist on the table as he looked at the man who had most of his flesh on his left side completely eaten off, both of their clothes stained with his blood. As how viciously Ezra had eaten the man's flesh was something that even beast wouldn't do to a person."....I........."The man could barely say the word "I" before he just stared at Ezra. Ezra sighed as he would give up him talking anymore as the man struggled to even get a word out. Why was Ezra doing this and why was he doing this in the middle of the day? Well to answer such question we must go back to what happened this morning...


Earlier this Morning
Ezra would be walking around the market area of the great village of Oto with nothing to do but punish those who do wrong within the village, no matter what they may have done. And this wasn't out of character for him as he was actually trying to change how he acted and thought about things, as to gain more knowledge he couldn't just act like he used to. And beside he is a growing young man and they always change when they get older. So as he walked the streets of the market place he watched carefully on what everyone was doing."Got one." Ezra would say in his mind as he spotted a man snatch an apple from a old women's stand when she was talking with someone one who might buy something. For a second Ezra was going to run over to the man and drop kick him and take him into custody, but he decided he wouldn't do that. As he felt this man should face a much more suitable punishment for such a crime. So Ezra would tail him and think of what he should do.

Watching the guy for about two hours he would decided to increase the punishment he was going to give out, as the man had stolen more food and also robbed a man.Even though Ezra knew the man the guy robbed was a crooked person it still wasn't acceptable in this village. Ezra couldn't stand to see the man commit anymore crimes so he would jump in front of the man before he tried to steal something again."You sir are in trouble! As I have seen you commit many crimes today and decided..... I WILL NOW PUNISH YOU!" Ezra's last words were extremely dark as they way he said it made it seem the punishment wouldn't be a slap on a wrist or a fine...but something worse. The man hearing this would begin to quickly sprint in the opposite direction of Ezra. If this was any other kid he would have just walked passed him or even kicked their ass for the disrespect. But Ezra was different as he had something off about him that made his words strike fear into the man.

"I know he didn't just run...Now I have to punish  him even more." Eza would say as he slowly began to walk in the direction the man was running, slowly picking up his pace. Ezra knew he was faster then the man so he wasn't worried about him escaping, as Ezra believe this would give him some time to think of what he would add to the man's punishment. Giving a twisted smile Ezra would catch up to the man as his punishment was now finally decided. "I Think you will like what I have in store for you...so go to sleep while I prepare it for you."Ezra would say as he hit the man in the back of the neck, knocking him out. Ezra would pick the man up and throw him over his shoulder, walking to an seemingly abandoned home. Ezra would kick the door of the place down as he carried the man in. "What a shit hole.." Ezra would say as he looked at the fucked up home, which he was sure was abandoned as no one would live here.

Ezra would throw the guy to the ground and search for something to put him in. After about five minutes Ezra would drag an table and chair into the front room of the home, so that who ever looked through the doorway could see the man. Ezra would then pull nails, a hammer, and some rope out of his bag. When he placed all of those things on the table he sat the man in the chair and tied him up."Now to wake him up..."Ezra would say as he places the mans hands on the table and began to nail them down. Once the first nail went into the guys wrist he would wake up and scream in agony, his screams able to be heard  in the village. As the home was actually in the middle of the village.

"Please! Pleeaasseee!!!!!"The man screamed as Ezra continued to nail his hand to the table. But his cries feel on deaf ears as Ezra was going to punish this man and it would be a cruel and just one, in Ezra's mind that is. The man would continue to scream in agony as Ezra nailed more and more nails into his hands, only finishing when he had a totals of twelve nails going to his elbow to wrist.

Back in present...

Ezra at this moment sat out side of the house as he waited for the man to regain some strength so he could further be asked more question, by the self proclaimed sheriff of the town Ezra. Covered in some blood he would look at his hands and smile, licking them to taste the intoxicating blood."Maybe I should just say fuck it....and kill the guy...I am hungry." Ezra would say to himself as he looked up at the sky.

Ezra was in mid thought on how he was going to kill the man inside as a strange man would seem to come out o nowhere and say something that, in a way, pissed Ezra off. But Ezra would hold off on his first instinct to attack the man as he remembered the words of his sensei and of a person he hated deeply. As what they would do to Ezra if they found out he killed or even tried to kill someone who belonged to the village, put a little fear in him. But they only told him that he couldn't kill anybody beating them or being disrespectful to them, to Ezra, was allowed. He would look at the guy up in down for a minute to try and size him up and to be honest Ezra wasn't impressed.


"Sir! As a shinobi of Otogakure, I must ask you to shut the fuck up!"Ezra would say a hint of irritation in his voice as he looked away from the strange person who spoke as if he was the law, and he looked around the same age. So why the hell was this guy talking as if he had more authority in the land if anyone did it was Ezra; as he was the student of the Daimyo. "Man I wish sensei..or even Nira was here..." Ezra would mumble to himself as he stood to his feet and walked to the door of the home. He would motion for Ryu to follow him into the home as Ezra wanted to show the guy who the real person should be arresting, but Ezra would sop half way in the door. As he knew the guy, if he had any common sense, wouldn't just follow someone he saw covered in blood into a house.

Ezra just knew he didn't like the guy and didn't want to tell him anything that might have the guy enter the home, but Ezra at this point has confused himself on what he was planning on doing."What is your name?" Ezra would ask as he looked over his shoulder at the guy, no real reason for him asking that question as it was the first thing that came into his head. Also Ezra had forgotten that he told the guy to shut the fuck up, so if the guy attacked him Ezra would feel this guy was an enemy to him and the village. And that mean't he was an candidate to be devoured. But regardless of what Ezra thinks of the guy or even his own actions a loud noise of a man screaming in pain could be heard from within the home. When Ezra would hear the guy he would sigh deeply as he would have liked it better if the guy didn't wake before he had thought of a good way to kill him, but what could he do. But Ezra wouldn't move form his spot as he didn't know how the guy would react from hearing the scream from within the house.

"O my bad, I guess. But in truth I don't give a fuck...." Ezra said confused on who the hell the guy was calling him little man; as the guy didn't look that tall and besides Ezra was in his other, more child like, form. But As Ezra turned around he saw the guy reacted from hearing the scream from within the house and then there came a punch, one that could be heard around the whole village. Even though Ezra could have dodged the punch as he had enough time and the guy seemed to move at the same speed, he didn't. As he wanted this guy to throw throw the first punch so Ezra could consider him an enemy. But even so Ezra didn't think the punch to be as powerful as it was as it sent him flying threw the doorway and throw the wall of the small house. Now laying outside and on the other side of the house Ezra would just chuckle as blood began to pour out of his nose."Soon, I will enjoy devouring that boy.....but only when we are older as I want to eat my prey at their peek!" Ezra would say as he just sat there as he didn't plan on standing to his feet and letting the blood drip on his clothes. So what he planned on doing was molting back into his original, Human, form so that his nose wouldn't be broken anymore. How that would be possible would be told in due time as he needed to perform the jutsu now, as he didn't know how long the guy would be occupied with the man inside.


When Ryu would enter the scream would grow louder and louder, as the man was gaining a but of his energy and tried to escape. But how Ezra had him nailed to the table was extremely painful and every time he moved his whole body would act in agony, as he also was missing flesh and skin on the left side of his body from his head to his torso. But if someone saw that their first thought wouldn't be of someone having eaten the man as he was alive still but rather took it off some other way. And also doing whatever he did to this man was inhuman Ezra would see it as fair judgment for the crimes he has committed against the village.

"Almost there..."Ezra would think to himself as the substance covering him began to harden, but even though he got to change something pissed him off. As a tile would scarp against the substance on his skin, and since he was laying on the ground when the tiles were sent at him only grazed him and not hit their targeted areas if he was standing up. But the next attack, a punch to the gut, would land as Ezra would stand to his feet after his molting was completed. "You love hitting me don't you?" Ezra would say a few moments after being punch as he, in a way, took the punch as was feeling it throughout his whole body. Ezra now looked completely different now as his skin colored changed back to what it was originally and his green hair turned back to his short afro.


Ezra had to admit this guy could throw a punch, but since Ezra's human form allowed him to have his exoskeleton in the inside of his body the attack was lessened and only he was bruised on his skinned, but a few ribs were broken. Ezra would stubble back and then crack his neck as didn't know if he should explain himself or fight the other boy, it didn't take him long to decided what he was going to pick."Before you continue your assault on me  let me speak. You are probably made about what you saw in the house..but if you had just followed me in and didn't attack me I could have told you earlier why he was in that state." Ezra would dust off himself if he was allowed to speak,"So let me give you a run down on what happen and let what I tell you decided if we fight. First that man is a criminal that I have given many chances to correct his ways, but he didn't. He continued to commit crimes that made me label him as an enemy to the village. And his punishment was equal to the crimes he had committed. So now let me tell you why I am able to deliver such punishment. I am the Daimyo's student and have been told by many that if I do any cruel acts against the village I will be killed...BUT they said I can do my hellish acts on those who aren't welcomed or are enemies of this great village of Oto!" Ezra would say as he took off his shirt, and put his hands behind his back.


"But I still understand how you may feel if you are attacking me for what you saw inside. So I tell you this. If you still feel hatred toward me please let us not do any further battling but go and speak with Junpei-sama when he returns on if I am right or wrong. As I am not your average person and don't follow the same rules as many people of this world do. SO again let us not fight as if my actions are found right and you some how kill me this village would lose two future great shinobi..."Ezra would tell the guy with a calm look on his face. And this was strange off him as he never acted like this after being attacked, even if he wasn't able to fight after molting. As it seemed Ezra was changing greatly, well his personality, after he first molting those long few weeks ago.
