Notes:
- Reads from right to left.
- The art in the first four arcs is absolute shit and I hate to look at it! But as of the fifth arc, it got better and more refined and detailed.
- When I started, I had the habit of inserting Japanese words and references here and there ((I used to be a One Piece manga translater)), but I stopped because I now find it silly and too fanboyish.
- The arcs are labeled as "Chapters", and the chapters within are "Episodes" along with the real number of it from the first. For example: ((#20 - Chapter Four - Episode one.))
- I'll try to add my translation here. So it would become much easier for you to follow.
- If someone wants to do and publish a scanlated version, do not do without my permission.

Ure Lang, the current apprentice of the White Ninja School, is also know as the No. 1 trouble maker in the village of shuukou.
Having enough of her and getting concerned at the same time, she is forced to leave the village and not to get back until she finish the one task given by her Master.
That task is the following: "She must do two thousand good deeds to whoever needs help concerning his life". Short and simple?! Nope!
Now, she is destined to travel on her own in the big wide country facing yakuzas, thugs, criminals, demons, monsters, and other ninjas just so she can get back to her village, but not for a long time.

Chapter One: The Long Journey
Episode One: The Little Nuisance
Page.008:
- It's unbearable!!!!
- For how long are you going to keep up your actions??!!
- [Hakunsai Jubo the Seventh – 75 years old – Master of the White Ninja school]
- Just yesterday, I got five complaints about you!!
- Starting from feeding Shinji-san’s hens something caused them diarrhea, and making naughty sketches on the temple's walls, and mixing Tagani-san’s water barrels with hot sauce, and beating up Ozawa-san’s kid to a pulp, and giving Megumi-san’s dog a scare till it committed suicide by drowning and…

- Note: All the characters are fictional, and any similarities in names or shapes are mere coincidence and nothing more.
Page.009:
- PAY ATTENTION TO ME WHILE I'M TALKING TO YOU!!!
- At first, I took all of it as “child's play” and nothing more, but you've started going too far!!!
- I tried disciplining with everything I know, what's left for me…
- Lang? Answer me…
Page.010:
- Why, the White Ninja School…
- Is named after?
- Lang: It's called after the color white that symbols “Peace”. And that tells that our school's purpose is to help people when they need help. And one of its most important rules is to give everyone a chance to live, even if he was a rotten villain.
- I've memorized it over and over again and anybody no matter how stupid he is can. And if you are asking me to remind you, that mean you are…
- Warning: Rapid increase in blood pressure!!
- Note: 円満 - Enman = Peace, Perfection, Satisfaction.
Page.011:
- Whoops!!
- It's not good when his pressure goes high like that!!
Page.012:
- The same trap as usual… when will she avoid it and let me try the other traps?!!
- Shiaah!!!
- For how long I'll keep falling to the same trap over and over again?!!
- *Gasp*
Page.013:
- Huh?
- If you knew… then…
- Why do you keep making trouble for others?
- Don't you think you're going against what you've learned all this time?
- He… didn't hit me?! He used to do it in other times like this… why not now?
- Actually… there are reasons, like being energetic and full of energy,
- And sometimes…
Page.014:
- Because I feel bored!!
- Especially that no one ever plays with me.
- Hmph
- Sure, being bored can make anybody do anything!!
- Sigh
- First he didn't hit me, and now he agrees with me?! “Now” it's not good!!
- Oh!!
- OK, go and apologize to everyone and fix what needs fixing, or no lunch for you! And then, I'll give you your punishment!!
- And this is not?! GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

- Anyway, can you tell me what sort of punishment you were talking about?!
- Take it easy… finish your meal, and then…
- Don't you think you're stalling a lot?!
- You are the impatient one!!
- There's a line between those, you old fart!!
- (Smash)
- Another nosebleed!!!
Page.017:
- That was a good meal…!!
- We're done!! Would you tell me now?!
- Before I murder you for real?!!!
- OK, and now wash the dishes, and then massage my shoulders and…
- NOW YOU ARE STALLING!!!!
- Honestly, why are you acting like you are trying not to punish me?!
- If you won't tell me now, I'll cause you more pain till you cough it all!!
Page.018:
- So, it ended up like this…!!
- You make your teacher and care taker bleed like this…
- Waaaaah!! I'm so sorry!!
- I won't shoot a thing at you ever again!!
- Note: Despite everything, she pays him a lot of respect.
Page.019:
- Umm… are you… angry…?
- If you insist…
- Ure Lang. Due to your harmful actions, and nothing ever worked to set you straight…
- So, I'm going to do something that is written in our ancient rules, and it will be used for the first time in its history on you!!
- For the first time…?!
- “shock”
Page.020:
- NOOOOO!! YOU'RE GOING TO KILL ME?!! I DON'T DESERVE THIS!!!
- Who said anything about killing?!!
- Relax, and let me finish…
- Listen carefully… your punishment is like a mission, and it's the following…
- Leave this village…
- And never come back…!!
- Narration: An unexpected sort of punishment!!
- Next episode: The Mission.
Page.021:
- 02 – Chapter One: The Long Journey – Episode Two: The Mission
- Leave… the village…
- And not going back…?!
- Being an outcast… with no turning back!!
- No… I can’t… I rather die than this…
- I won’t be able to take it!!
- Now I understand why he was wasting time!! He wanted me to stay as long as possible!!
Page.022:
- May I resume?!!
- THERE’S MORE?!!!!
- Of course there’s more. Or you don’t want to know how to get back!!
- There’s a way?!
- You scared me!!
- The way… is as following…
- And it’s what you have to do…!!
- Background: Tell me!!
- Note: Try saying that fast 8D
Page.023:
- Do at least… 2000 live-saving good deeds!!
- If you do that… you’ll be able to get back!!
- Huh?!
- Why do you look surprised?!
- Did you expect something great like slaying a dragon?!!
- Like Ryuma?
- Ryuma?!!!
- I hate it when he messes around with my nerves!! ((But what do you expect from a guy who can kill a bear with a single hand chop!!))
Page.024:
- Can we get a bit serious in here?!! My life is about to change and suddenly it turned to a gag??! Let’s be reasonable!!!
- It’s not funny alright.
- I don’t blame you… I blame the stupid author!!!
- Ok… let’s get back to the point… I leave…
- And come back after doing 2000 live-saving good deeds…
- Note: 白- Shiro = White
Page.025:
- Can you explain the last part?
- Haha, it caught your interest?! Alright, I’ll explain…
- What it means here, is doing stuff like capturing criminals, destroying illegal arms, working on the fields during food scarcity days, giving medical aid… and similar things.
- Now I get it!! What you mean is…
- What might affect the fate of the others if it’s done or not!!
- Am I right?!
Page.026:
- Yes, you are!!
- Great!! It’s simple to me now!!
- Two thousand is a bit much, but I’ll do it in no time!!
- Do you think it’s easy as you see it?!!
- You believe it’s something you do on a regular basis every day?!!
- Why do you think it’s the worst punishment in our rules?!
- What… are you trying… to say now?!
Page.027:
- By helping others… you must always put others before yourself when you help them!!
- And there might be a time when you have to sacrifice yourself for them!!! Are you up to it?!!
- Sacrifice… myself…?!!
- And what’s even worse…
- You might encounter several criminal associates!!! And your missions might include capturing or defend against them…!!
- And you might get targeted by even more dangerous organizations… and if you are not carful…
Page.028:
- You’ll be dead… before you even realize it!!
- Of course… that wouldn’t be a problem if you were keeping with your training instead of fooling around… but it’s no use regretting!!
- I should’ve known…
- It’s all clear now…!!
- Out of the village…?
- My lack of skills will a reason for my death…?!
- So that’s it…!!
- If…
- If…
Page.029:
- If you want to kick me out…!!
- Why don’t you just say so?!!!
- Ah!! Lang, wait!!
- Dear Lord…
- It’s all right… she’s probably “there”.
Page.030:
- Break ((Filler Page))
Page.031:
- Note: Finally, the scene changes 8D
- Damn it…
- Damn it…
- Damn it… I never thought the master himself would do that to me…
- I knew you would’ve been here…
- As usual… you come here every time you feel upset…
- But I don’t blame you…
Page.032-033:
- It’s quite nice in here…!!
Page.034:
- What do you have now?!
- Listen to me, Lang…
- I know that you think that I hate you and want to kick you out…
- But that’s not true… me and everyone in the village love you and we all want you around…
- But like I’ve said… your behavior is getting worse beyond the limits… and my duty as your master and caretaker to set you straight…!!
- Or something bad might happen!!
- But don’t you think this is too much?! Or do you think I’ll…
- Become a criminal?!!
- Yes…!!
- Really?!
Page.035:
- And this is not from empty basis… it’s from a personal experience…
- And I can see that in you… and I don’t want it to happen again before my eyes…!!
- Still don’t know what I’m saying?!
- I don’t want you to grow up and turn to a trouble for everyone, and to cause them sadness and pain…!!
- Just like what he did!!
- What?! Who are you talking about?!!
- If you want to know…
Page.036:
- He is the one who caused you that “Great Affliction”!!!
- Anyway… the choice is yours… that is all what I have.
- You don’t have to answer now… you can tomorrow…!!
- Umm…
- When… do I go…?!
- …… If you want to…
Page.037:
- Tomorrow in the morning.
- Have your dinner and get to sleep…
- And no sneaking to my drinks closet without my knowledge…!!
- For your information, I stopped doing that after getting that extreme hangover two months ago, “master So Hi”!!!
- Narration: It’s all settled now!!

- This way…
- Now, can you tell me why won’t you wear the white uniform for once?!!
- One: There is no rule says it’s obligatory for students!! Two: White is dull!! And three: Violet is my favorite color!!
Page.043:
- It’s the storage… what do you want from it?!
- It’s so dusty!!
- Hah!! Found them!!
- Could it…?!! For me…?!!
- Yes… you probably knew…
- “The Black Blade”... the name given to the special weapons of our school since its foundation by Hakunsai Jubo the First.
- And to hand it over to the student directly by the master is a sign of trust and trustworthy in the future…!!
- I wanted to give you when you get older…
Page.044:

- And you should keep up your training and get stronger than before, because you’re going to face strong enemies who will threaten what you love and what you want to protect…

- If there would be a recap, let it be about something neither I nor the readers know!! Is it Ok for you, Mohammad??!!
- For your information, your objection took more than what was planned for the recap!!
- Ok, Ok, enough of this… let’s get back to the point!!
- We better…!!
- We’ve wasted the first page for nothing…
Page.059:
- Now… how should I start…?!

Page.065:
- No need to. This is my habit since ages ago…

- For that, let me introduce myself…
- My name is Ure Lang. The current apprentice of the White Ninja School.
- Now, I’m on a mission that requires me to help people.

- Hanako!!!
- Ah!!
- Now listen carefully… if you don’t want this woman to get hurt, you’ll have to listen to us!!
- You bastards!! That’s called playing dirty!!
- It’s clean by our rules…!!
Page.078:
- Now, let’s calm down a bit, shall we?!
- We’re all busy here… so, why don’t we negotiate to settle this?!
- ………. Negotiate?!!
- Hanako… hang in there a bit more…
- What… do you want…?!!
Page.079:
- Pay me one thousand ryo!!
- Do that, and I’ll leave you alone!!
- Th… Thousand ryo?!!!
- Are you kidding?!! How can we afford that?!!!
- Oh, right, right… a simple blacksmith family like you cannot have that amount of money in single shot…!!
- You don’t have to pay right away!! Take your time…
- But… until that time, we need to have a mortgage…!!
- And the mortgage we choose is...
- Note: Ryo: a gold piece in pre-Meiji Japan. It was worth about sixty monme of silver or four kan (4,000 coins) of copper (the exchange rate fluctuated). It was eventually replaced with a system based on the yen.
Check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryō_(Japanese_coin)
Page.080:
- Your wife, Kotetsu!!!
- But don’t worry about her!! We will treat her as good as a slave!! Hehehehe!!
- Like I’d accept that, you asshole!!!

- Danna!! Look out!!!
Page.081:
- Wah!!
- Jin… Danna..!!
- Is killed?!! In front of me?!!
- Ha… na… ko…!!
Page.082:
- And I woke up several hours later…
- But, what happened? You said nothing about your son!!
- I’ll take it from here. You take a rest, Hanako.
- What?!! Danna…!! Takes my place to talk with a “stranger”?!
- Long story short… Shinta came back from the town at that time, and somehow he made them take him in place of his mom.
Page.083:
- So, he gave himself intentionally…!!
- What a son!!
- Yes… he got the knack of helping others… he got that from her!!
- Ok, let’s put that for another time, shall we?! I have another question…
- When did all of this happen?!
- ……….. Two years!!
- Two years and I couldn’t see his face for once!!!
- Is he dead or alive?!!!
- Do they make him do anything evil?!!
- How can a mother rest a sure with these thoughts in her head?!!!
Page.084:
- Lang-chan… I usually don’t make requests like this…
- But… I beg you…
- Hanako…!!
- Please!! Bring me back my son!!!
- I want him back!!!
Page.085:
- Please…!!
- Don’t worry.
- I’ll bring him back and put an end to that Yakuza!!

- Do you know my Mom?!! How?!!
- And since when?!!
- And how did you know I was her daughter?!!!
- Please tell me!!!
Page.087:
- I think this is not the time to talk about old memories…
- …………. Sorry, Lang-chan, our chat will be for another time.

- [Despite it being my first day, I got my first mission… Saving Shinta and bring him back to his parents.]
- Of course, I need to look for their domain if I want to find them.
- But I can’t ask around simply like that…
- It’ll make me look suspicious if I did!!
- I need to think really good about this…
- Hmm?
- Get out of here if you don’t have any money!!
Page.091:
- Dammit… I didn’t have the chance to have one single sip…!!
- Yours if you tell me where I can find the Chubby Men Yakuza!!
- The eastern district!!
- That’s enough for me.

Page.092:

- Mom was right… staying high up here made me senile!!!
- [Later…]
- Huff, I’m too close now, and I should stop!!
- I have to be more careful from now on… my mission is a stealth mission…
- My master said it’s the most dangerous type of missions… because I don’t know what type of traps and surprises I’m about to encounter…
Page.096:
- Really?! Then what?
- I used a fake dice, and…
- What the?!
- What happened?!
- How did this happen?! Didn’t you stack the boxes properly?
- Don’t put the blame on me!! You did work with me!!
Page.097:
- But what messed it around like this?!
- An animal, maybe?!
- Damn… what’s happening to me…?! Why do I feel scared?!
- I did these things in the past… but I’m shaking of fear now?!!
- Is it… because now… it’s serious…?! Not a game or training…?!
- Yes… it’s probably that thing…
- I have a big responsibility on my shoulder…
- And if I made one mistake…
- The ending result would be…
Page.098:
- Death!!!
Page.099:
- Maybe… coming here was a bad idea?!
- What… was I thinking…?!!!
- I’ll get out of here…
- Huh?!
- This is… my Mom’s gift…

Page.100:
- Oh… I still remember how she always promised of giving me a present, and she did months later… but she did eventually…
- Yes!!! The promise…!!
- I’ll bring him back and put an end to that Yakuza!!
- And that’s a promise from me to you!!!
- That’s right…!! I made a promise being sure I will do it!! And I can’t step back!!!
- I am Ure Lang…!! I am from the White Ninja School…!!
- Despite being annoying and a trouble maker… there are two things I hate to be known as…
Page.101:
- The coward…
- And the Traitor…
- Just like what my master said…
- There will be a day when I’ll have to sacrifice my life for others.
Page.102:
- …… enough of this… I’ve wasted a lot of time… let’s keep going…
- Good… no one is here…
- Note: Who does sneak by climbing the roof from the main entrance?!
- A window!!
- I hope there are no mice or anything…
- Wait a minute… since when I’m scared of mice?!!!

- Calm down…
- Calm down… NOW!!!
- Let’s see…
Page.108:
- C’mon… what’re your bets?
Page.109:
- They’re playing “Cho-Han”?!
- Note: 丁半: Cho-Han: a traditional Japanese gambling game using dice. The game uses two standard six-sided dice, which are shaken in a bamboo cup or bowl by a dealer. The cup is then overturned onto the floor. Players then place their wagers on whether the sum total of numbers showing on the two dice will be "Cho" (even) or "Han" (odd). The dealer then removes the cup, displaying the dice. The winners collect their money.
- “Cho”!!
- “Han”!!
- Yes!! And it’s a Snake’s Eye!!
- Argh…!! Let’s do it again…
Page.110:
- Enough!! You’ve been gambling each other since morning!! Do you think I’ll role your dice forever?!!!
- Why don’t you be like Shinta-kun?! He’s a good boy unlike everyone else here!!
- Shinta?!!
- Oh yeah… we’ve never seen Shinta have a go with us!!
- Hey, Shinta… why don’t you show us how good your luck is?!
- Arrow: Totally ignored.
- Hmm?!
- Um… actually…
Page.111:
- Gambling… is not a good thing…!! Like Mom said.
Page.112:
- Heheheheh… you’re still saying that…
- Kotetsu Shinta… here since two years ago…
- And Suguru Nami… five years…
- Don’t you think it’s about time to wake up?!!
- Who’s speaking now? The boss?! I wish I can see clearly!!
- And it looks like that “Nami” is in the same situation with Shinta…!!
Page.113:
- Your families… have forgotten you…
- Why don’t you drop that way of thinking and turn into a man?!!
- [ Futotta Kudamaru – 53 Years old – The head of the “Chubby Men” Yakuza]
- My parents did not forget me!! But they are busy getting your money!!
- Oh, maybe you are right… but not for her!!
Page.114:
- Do you know why she is here?!
- It’s because her father sold her for his business!!!
- What?!!
- If you don’t believe me, why not asking her by yourself?! That’s what her father did to keep his business up!!!
- And he never ever came to ask about her here!! What kind of parenthood is this?!! And that’s what’s happening to you…!!
- Nami-san… is it true?!!
- Actually……
Page.115:
- You’re quarter right!!!
- “Quarter right”?!!
- I think it’s time to make some things clear…
- One of them is the one you call “My father”…
- That guy is just a manger for that diner I used to work and live there… We are not related…
- And it’s true that he didn’t care about me nor bothered to give you what you wanted for me…
- But I didn’t care… because I have a reason for getting here…
- And it’s about my old house that you’ve burned with everyone inside… if you remember…
- Ah, yes… I remember lighting the fuse personally…
- You know the rest then…
Page.116:
- DIE, YOU TYRANT!!!
- Nami-san!!!
Page.117:
- AAAAAAAH!!!
- Nami-san… Are you alright?!!
- Ooooh…!!♡ We have a nice couple!!
- Man, there’s a not so little chunk flew from her!!!
- Heheheheheh, you idiot… you thought you’d get me that easily?!
- And you Shinta… did you think I didn’t know that you were planning with her every night, and always ask her keep from doing it?!!
- He knew?!!
- Hahahahaha… I wonder how your parents will react when they find out that I killed you…!!
Page.119:
- ENOUGH!!!
- I can’t take it anymore!!!
- I’ll not let you hurt them anymore!!!

- NOOOOOOOOO~~~ O MY GOD!!! SHE KILLED KOUTA!!! DAMN YOU!!!
- Ehm… don’t act so quickly…!!
Page.129:
- Huh?! What’s that weird sword?!!
- It got no blade!!!
- “The Black Blade”… the name given to the special weapons of the White Ninja School. Because it’s forbidden to kill, we were in need for a strong weapon that doesn’t kill…
- It sure can’t cut, but it can break bones and cause painful bruises…!!
- Now… shall we get back to the main point?!!
- Oh, Yes…!! Who are you and how dare you crash in here and what do you want!!!
Page.130:
- About my name… sorry, but I don’t give it to scum like you…
- And I didn’t get the time to think of a code name…
- As for why I’m here… is to repay a debt…!!
- A dept?! Whose?! And why didn’t you use the main entrance to do instead of…
- Don’t get carried away, you smoky meat bun…!!
- I didn’t come to pay for you…
- It’s for the Kotetsus…!!
Page.131:
- For my family?!
- Wait… don’t tell me my Mom is still housing strangers in the house, is she…?!
- You can say that…!!!
- But because she was generous with me, I decided to pay her back by retrieving you…
- Plus, we have personal things to discuss later.
- Hold it!! Do you think I’ll let you take him for nothing?!! Where’s my money?!!
- Why would someone pay for the guy who tried to kill the mortgage?!!!
- Oooooh… you think you are smart, girl?!!
Page.132:
- She got a point!!
- I agree with her!!
- So, she’s the one who messed up the boxes…!!
- Kill her, men!!!
Page.133:
- What’s going on?!!
- Why not anyone shows up?!!
- Head… don’t you know who we are dealing with?!!

- YOU REALLY DON’T KNOW!!!
- Head… this girl is…
- REALLY?!!!!
- That’s why I had to remind you!!!
- I knew there was something when she was talking about the sword… now it’s clear to me…
- Who would’ve thought…?!!
Page134:
- I have to deal with this quickly, or I’ll lose my face among the other organizations…!!
- Huh?! Where did they go?!!!
- I asked them to leave…
- Now, would you get someone to challenge me?!! Unless you want me to hand you all to the magistrates!!!
- That does it!! Listen all of you… whoever brings me her head severed from her body; I’ll make him my right-hand man and the second-in-command…!!!
- Then, leave this to me, Head…!!

Page.139:
- Honorifics Guide:
- Because the manga is set in Japan, I saw it’s necessary to add honorific suffixes due to having several meanings that might differ or loss if they were not added or doing a direct translation. And here’s the list with explanation:
- 1- San: Usually translated to “Mr.”. The most commonly used when talking with a certain amount of respect.
- 2- Sama: Higher grade of respect than “San”. Usually translated as “Master”, and it’s used when talking with someone with a high state or rank.
- 3- Dono: Higher grade of respect that “Sama”. Usually translated as “Lord”, and it’s used for business related talk.
- 4- Kun: Equal to “San”, but it’s used among friends or equally rated people.
- 5- Chan: Used with babies and girls. It gives the sense of childish cuteness.
- 6- Sempai: Or “Senpai”, it’s used by co-workers when talking to their seniors.
- 7- Kohai: The opposite of “Sempai”. Used when talking to the juniors.
- 8- Sensei: Usually translated to “Master”. Used when referring to the doctors or teachers.
Page.140:
- Violet Shadows: Concept (1):
- Hello, everyone. In this segment, I’ll talk about the states I had while making this series, even if you think it’s a bit early…
- It all started from an idea came to me in summer 2006. Doing a short comic about my favorite old fighting game: “Yie Ar Kung Fu”.
- I made early drafts for the five characters: Lee, Wang, Tao, Chen, Lang and Mu. And then, I thought of a good story for them to do their roles.
- But… something unexpected happened!! And I didn’t know it’ll end up like this…!!
- To Be Continued:
Page.141:
- Violet Shadows: Concept (2):
- Hello again… do you know how I said something unexpected happened during making my comic?!
- The answer is: A 100% exact Rip-off of Dragon Ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- I felt bad, and rejected that concept and started over. My next concept was about a delivery boy who had to save his grandfather from a company aiming for his giant gem.
- I made the characters like bosses for each floor, but couldn’t think beyond the fighting, and I rejected that as well…
- To Be Continued:
Page.142:
- Violet Shadows: Concept (3):
- I felt really down… so many failed attempts with no success. And then, I decided to drop my dreams and characters, but…
- For some reason…… Lang was stuck in my head and couldn’t stop from thinking about her. She was in my head everywhere I go, and I drew her a lot!!
- At that time… I knew that my drawing spirit did not die in me. And I got some brainstorms for several scenarios that I can try and see what’s best for me!!
- In our next meeting, we will go to all the scenarios and what got rejected.
- To Be Continued:
Page.143:
- Violet Shadows: Concept (4):
- Hello again… Like what I’ve said last time, I’ll talk about the scenarios that I came up with for Violet Shadows.
- Scenario 1: I made Lang a Ninja-In-Training in a high-tech modern ninja village, going in missions along with a boy named “Mizumaru” supervised by “Yoshimitsu”.
- Why it got rejected: It was similar to “Naruto”, and I was trying to avoid making obvious imitations.
- My start wasn’t that good… but it’s a start.
- To Be Continued:
Page.144:
- Violet Shadows: Concept (5):
- Welcome back, and let’s move on with my rejected ideas.
- Scenario 2: This time, Lang takes the role of a ninja ((Does she get other roles?!)) who wakes up and finds herself in the 21st century. And until she finds a way to get back to her original time, she stays with a family after saving their daughter, and she gets to a lot of embarrassing moments due to her ignorance to what’s in this time.
- Why it got rejected: I liked it initially, but didn’t use it because it wasn’t my taste at that time.
- Shihihihihi!! I got away from school!!!
- To Be Continued:
Page.145
- Violet Shadows: Concept (6):
- Hey again, let’s see what we got now…
- Scenario 3: Lang is a Koga ninja during the times of the civil wars in Japan. And to make use of herself, she got sent by her master to work under the military leader “yamato”. Lang work in several missions along with Yamato’s personal bodyguards who each of them got his own traits and personalities.
- Why it got rejected: Even though this is what I really wanted to do, since I had a lot of ideas that would work for the story, like Lang discovering that she is actually a “Yokai” shaped like a human and runs away from everyone; but there was one thing that made me change all of this to the one you are seeing now… what was it?!!!
- My end was dramatic in this scenario… very…
- To Be Continued:
Page.146:
- Welcome back. Do you remember saying that I cancelled my previous scenario because of something?!
- The reason was reading the manga called “Kurogane” by Kei Toume. The manga is about a wandering steel samurai “Jintetsu” and his talking sword “Haganemaru” and their adventures while crossing the land.
- I liked the story and how by travelling from place to place, they meet a verity of people and unknown places. Therefore, I’ve decided to make Lang a wanderer ninja who helps other in different situations.
- I thought of everything I could think of, and design everything I could design, and made a lot of researching till I reached a point where I said to myself : “Enough”!!! And started making the first episode.
- And with that, we end the “Concept” segment, and I’ll present the “Character Concept” in the next episode to get into the depth of designing the characters.
- Who would’ve thought that a hunk of metal would be the reason for what I’m right now?!!

Notes:
- Reads from right to left.
- The art in the first four arcs is absolute shit and I hate to look at it! But as of the fifth arc, it got better and more refined and detailed.
- When I started, I had the habit of inserting Japanese words and references here and there ((I used to be a One Piece manga translater)), but I stopped because I now find it silly and too fanboyish.
- The arcs are labeled as "Chapters", and the chapters within are "Episodes" along with the real number of it from the first. For example: ((#20 - Chapter Four - Episode one.))
- I'll try to add my translation here. So it would become much easier for you to follow.
- If someone wants to do and publish a scanlated version, do not do without my permission.

That task is the following: "She must do two thousand good deeds to whoever needs help concerning his life". Short and simple?! Nope!

- It's unbearable!!!!
- For how long are you going to keep up your actions??!!
- [Hakunsai Jubo the Seventh – 75 years old – Master of the White Ninja school]
- Just yesterday, I got five complaints about you!!
- Starting from feeding Shinji-san’s hens something caused them diarrhea, and making naughty sketches on the temple's walls, and mixing Tagani-san’s water barrels with hot sauce, and beating up Ozawa-san’s kid to a pulp, and giving Megumi-san’s dog a scare till it committed suicide by drowning and…

Page.009:
- PAY ATTENTION TO ME WHILE I'M TALKING TO YOU!!!
- At first, I took all of it as “child's play” and nothing more, but you've started going too far!!!
- I tried disciplining with everything I know, what's left for me…
- Lang? Answer me…
Page.010:
- Why, the White Ninja School…
- Is named after?
- Lang: It's called after the color white that symbols “Peace”. And that tells that our school's purpose is to help people when they need help. And one of its most important rules is to give everyone a chance to live, even if he was a rotten villain.
- I've memorized it over and over again and anybody no matter how stupid he is can. And if you are asking me to remind you, that mean you are…
- Warning: Rapid increase in blood pressure!!
- Note: 円満 - Enman = Peace, Perfection, Satisfaction.

- The same trap as usual… when will she avoid it and let me try the other traps?!!
- Shiaah!!!
- For how long I'll keep falling to the same trap over and over again?!!
- *Gasp*
Page.013:
- Huh?
- If you knew… then…
- Why do you keep making trouble for others?
- Don't you think you're going against what you've learned all this time?
- He… didn't hit me?! He used to do it in other times like this… why not now?
- Actually… there are reasons, like being energetic and full of energy,
- And sometimes…
Page.014:
- Because I feel bored!!
- Especially that no one ever plays with me.
- Hmph
- Sure, being bored can make anybody do anything!!
- Sigh
- First he didn't hit me, and now he agrees with me?! “Now” it's not good!!
- Oh!!
- OK, go and apologize to everyone and fix what needs fixing, or no lunch for you! And then, I'll give you your punishment!!
- And this is not?! GIVE ME A BREAK!!!

- Take it easy… finish your meal, and then…
- Don't you think you're stalling a lot?!
- You are the impatient one!!
- There's a line between those, you old fart!!
- (Smash)
- Another nosebleed!!!
Page.017:
- That was a good meal…!!
- We're done!! Would you tell me now?!
- Before I murder you for real?!!!
- OK, and now wash the dishes, and then massage my shoulders and…

- So, it ended up like this…!!
- You make your teacher and care taker bleed like this…
- Waaaaah!! I'm so sorry!!
- I won't shoot a thing at you ever again!!
- Note: Despite everything, she pays him a lot of respect.
Page.019:
- Umm… are you… angry…?
- If you insist…
- Ure Lang. Due to your harmful actions, and nothing ever worked to set you straight…
- So, I'm going to do something that is written in our ancient rules, and it will be used for the first time in its history on you!!
- For the first time…?!
- “shock”
Page.020:
- NOOOOO!! YOU'RE GOING TO KILL ME?!! I DON'T DESERVE THIS!!!
- Who said anything about killing?!!
- Relax, and let me finish…
- Listen carefully… your punishment is like a mission, and it's the following…
- Leave this village…
- And never come back…!!
- Narration: An unexpected sort of punishment!!
- Next episode: The Mission.
Page.021:
- 02 – Chapter One: The Long Journey – Episode Two: The Mission
- Leave… the village…
- And not going back…?!
- Being an outcast… with no turning back!!
- No… I can’t… I rather die than this…
- I won’t be able to take it!!
- Now I understand why he was wasting time!! He wanted me to stay as long as possible!!
Page.022:
- May I resume?!!
- THERE’S MORE?!!!!
- Of course there’s more. Or you don’t want to know how to get back!!
- There’s a way?!
- You scared me!!
- The way… is as following…
- And it’s what you have to do…!!
- Background: Tell me!!
- Note: Try saying that fast 8D
Page.023:
- Do at least… 2000 live-saving good deeds!!
- If you do that… you’ll be able to get back!!
- Huh?!
- Why do you look surprised?!
- Did you expect something great like slaying a dragon?!!
- Like Ryuma?
- Ryuma?!!!
- I hate it when he messes around with my nerves!! ((But what do you expect from a guy who can kill a bear with a single hand chop!!))
Page.024:
- Can we get a bit serious in here?!! My life is about to change and suddenly it turned to a gag??! Let’s be reasonable!!!
- It’s not funny alright.
- I don’t blame you… I blame the stupid author!!!
- Ok… let’s get back to the point… I leave…
- And come back after doing 2000 live-saving good deeds…
- Note: 白- Shiro = White
Page.025:
- Can you explain the last part?
- Haha, it caught your interest?! Alright, I’ll explain…
- What it means here, is doing stuff like capturing criminals, destroying illegal arms, working on the fields during food scarcity days, giving medical aid… and similar things.
- Now I get it!! What you mean is…
- What might affect the fate of the others if it’s done or not!!
- Am I right?!
Page.026:
- Yes, you are!!
- Great!! It’s simple to me now!!
- Two thousand is a bit much, but I’ll do it in no time!!
- Do you think it’s easy as you see it?!!
- You believe it’s something you do on a regular basis every day?!!
- Why do you think it’s the worst punishment in our rules?!
- What… are you trying… to say now?!
Page.027:
- By helping others… you must always put others before yourself when you help them!!
- And there might be a time when you have to sacrifice yourself for them!!! Are you up to it?!!
- Sacrifice… myself…?!!
- And what’s even worse…
- You might encounter several criminal associates!!! And your missions might include capturing or defend against them…!!
- And you might get targeted by even more dangerous organizations… and if you are not carful…
Page.028:
- You’ll be dead… before you even realize it!!
- Of course… that wouldn’t be a problem if you were keeping with your training instead of fooling around… but it’s no use regretting!!
- I should’ve known…
- It’s all clear now…!!
- Out of the village…?
- My lack of skills will a reason for my death…?!
- So that’s it…!!
- If…
- If…
Page.029:
- If you want to kick me out…!!
- Why don’t you just say so?!!!
- Ah!! Lang, wait!!
- Dear Lord…
- It’s all right… she’s probably “there”.
Page.030:
- Break ((Filler Page))
Page.031:
- Note: Finally, the scene changes 8D
- Damn it…
- Damn it…
- Damn it… I never thought the master himself would do that to me…
- I knew you would’ve been here…
- As usual… you come here every time you feel upset…
- But I don’t blame you…
Page.032-033:
- It’s quite nice in here…!!
Page.034:
- What do you have now?!
- Listen to me, Lang…
- I know that you think that I hate you and want to kick you out…
- But that’s not true… me and everyone in the village love you and we all want you around…
- But like I’ve said… your behavior is getting worse beyond the limits… and my duty as your master and caretaker to set you straight…!!
- Or something bad might happen!!
- But don’t you think this is too much?! Or do you think I’ll…
- Become a criminal?!!
- Yes…!!
- Really?!
Page.035:
- And this is not from empty basis… it’s from a personal experience…
- And I can see that in you… and I don’t want it to happen again before my eyes…!!
- Still don’t know what I’m saying?!
- I don’t want you to grow up and turn to a trouble for everyone, and to cause them sadness and pain…!!
- Just like what he did!!
- What?! Who are you talking about?!!
- If you want to know…
Page.036:
- He is the one who caused you that “Great Affliction”!!!
- Anyway… the choice is yours… that is all what I have.
- You don’t have to answer now… you can tomorrow…!!
- Umm…
- When… do I go…?!
- …… If you want to…
Page.037:
- Tomorrow in the morning.
- Have your dinner and get to sleep…
- And no sneaking to my drinks closet without my knowledge…!!
- For your information, I stopped doing that after getting that extreme hangover two months ago, “master So Hi”!!!

- What? Is it important?!!
- This way…
- Now, can you tell me why won’t you wear the white uniform for once?!!
- One: There is no rule says it’s obligatory for students!! Two: White is dull!! And three: Violet is my favorite color!!
Page.043:
- It’s the storage… what do you want from it?!
- It’s so dusty!!
- Hah!! Found them!!
- Could it…?!! For me…?!!
- Yes… you probably knew…
- “The Black Blade”... the name given to the special weapons of our school since its foundation by Hakunsai Jubo the First.
- And to hand it over to the student directly by the master is a sign of trust and trustworthy in the future…!!
- I wanted to give you when you get older…
Page.044:
- But it looks like now is the right time…
- Don’t misuse them.

Page.048:
- Money?!
- It’s all for me?!!
- Note: She’s a money sucker
- Yes, yours… Now, let tell you some last things…
- You should remember that you are helping people for the sake of helping them. Not so you can come back or for money…
- And you should keep up your training and get stronger than before, because you’re going to face strong enemies who will threaten what you love and what you want to protect…
- Take good care of yourself and your health, and don’t let anger take control of yourself, otherwise things might not turn out good.
- That’s all what I have, any questions?
- Oh… yeah!! What would happen if I came back before finishing my mission?!!
- You won’t be able be!! I’ll let you find out by yourself!!

- If she was, she would’ve used a bomb as the wake-up call
- And she did that before!!!
- What happened to her?!
[B]Page.054:
- Yeah!! Where did she go?! And why didn’t she do her usual wake-up call?!!

- Hold it!!Why do I waste my time and pages to do a recap when you’ve already read the first chapter and knew what’s going on!!!!!
- If there would be a recap, let it be about something neither I nor the readers know!! Is it Ok for you, Mohammad??!!
- For your information, your objection took more than what was planned for the recap!!
- Ok, Ok, enough of this… let’s get back to the point!!
- We better…!!
- We’ve wasted the first page for nothing…
Page.059:
- Now… how should I start…?!

- Yes…!! I have a serious problem right now!! And I’ll die if don’t do anything about it…
Page.060:

Page.065:
- No need to. This is my habit since ages ago…
- I can’t let a stranger spends the night outside with the weather like that…
- And I’m sure Jin-Danna will scold me for this as usual…!!
- And I always remind him of how this is he and I have met for the first time…!!
- Yeah… and you tell the story of your life and secrets to everyone you meet…!!
- There’s something called privacy, you know…!!
- Huh…? What is it, ma’am?!

- Say what you want and ignore him!!
- Alright then… first, I’d like to thank you for hospitality, and I appreciate it.
- For that, let me introduce myself…
- My name is Ure Lang. The current apprentice of the White Ninja School.
- Now, I’m on a mission that requires me to help people.
- And it looks to like you are having an unsolved problem as of yet!!
- Please… If you want, I may be able to help you!! I’m not kidding!!
Page.071:
- Why are you looking at me like that? I’m not changing my mind!!
- Y-y… you can… t-t-t-talk…!!!
- Thank you, Jin-Danna. ♡
- Alright then… our problem goes like this: Our son “Shinta” is being held.

Page.077:
- Jin-Danna!! *Ouch* Help me!!
- Hanako!!!
- Ah!!
- Now listen carefully… if you don’t want this woman to get hurt, you’ll have to listen to us!!
- You bastards!! That’s called playing dirty!!
- It’s clean by our rules…!!
Page.078:
- Now, let’s calm down a bit, shall we?!
- We’re all busy here… so, why don’t we negotiate to settle this?!
- ………. Negotiate?!!
- Hanako… hang in there a bit more…
- What… do you want…?!!
Page.079:
- Pay me one thousand ryo!!
- Do that, and I’ll leave you alone!!
- Th… Thousand ryo?!!!
- Are you kidding?!! How can we afford that?!!!
- Oh, right, right… a simple blacksmith family like you cannot have that amount of money in single shot…!!
- You don’t have to pay right away!! Take your time…
- But… until that time, we need to have a mortgage…!!
- And the mortgage we choose is...
- Note: Ryo: a gold piece in pre-Meiji Japan. It was worth about sixty monme of silver or four kan (4,000 coins) of copper (the exchange rate fluctuated). It was eventually replaced with a system based on the yen.

Page.080:
- Your wife, Kotetsu!!!
- But don’t worry about her!! We will treat her as good as a slave!! Hehehehe!!

- Danna!! Look out!!!
Page.081:
- Wah!!
- Jin… Danna..!!
- Is killed?!! In front of me?!!
- Ha… na… ko…!!
Page.082:
- And I woke up several hours later…
- But, what happened? You said nothing about your son!!
- I’ll take it from here. You take a rest, Hanako.
- What?!! Danna…!! Takes my place to talk with a “stranger”?!
- Long story short… Shinta came back from the town at that time, and somehow he made them take him in place of his mom.
Page.083:
- So, he gave himself intentionally…!!
- What a son!!
- Yes… he got the knack of helping others… he got that from her!!
- Ok, let’s put that for another time, shall we?! I have another question…
- When did all of this happen?!
- ……….. Two years!!
- Two years and I couldn’t see his face for once!!!
- Is he dead or alive?!!!
- Do they make him do anything evil?!!
- How can a mother rest a sure with these thoughts in her head?!!!
Page.084:
- Lang-chan… I usually don’t make requests like this…
- But… I beg you…
- Hanako…!!
- Please!! Bring me back my son!!!
- I want him back!!!
Page.085:

- And how did you know I was her daughter?!!!
- Please tell me!!!
Page.087:
- I think this is not the time to talk about old memories…
- …………. Sorry, Lang-chan, our chat will be for another time.
- Oh… of course…

- Of course, I need to look for their domain if I want to find them.
- But I can’t ask around simply like that…
- It’ll make me look suspicious if I did!!
- I need to think really good about this…
- Hmm?
- Get out of here if you don’t have any money!!
Page.091:
- Dammit… I didn’t have the chance to have one single sip…!!

- Huff, I’m too close now, and I should stop!!
- I have to be more careful from now on… my mission is a stealth mission…
- My master said it’s the most dangerous type of missions… because I don’t know what type of traps and surprises I’m about to encounter…
Page.096:
- Really?! Then what?
- I used a fake dice, and…
- What the?!
- What happened?!
- How did this happen?! Didn’t you stack the boxes properly?
- Don’t put the blame on me!! You did work with me!!
Page.097:
- But what messed it around like this?!
- An animal, maybe?!
- Damn… what’s happening to me…?! Why do I feel scared?!
- I did these things in the past… but I’m shaking of fear now?!!
- Is it… because now… it’s serious…?! Not a game or training…?!
- Yes… it’s probably that thing…
- I have a big responsibility on my shoulder…
- And if I made one mistake…
- The ending result would be…
Page.098:
- Death!!!
Page.099:

- And that’s a promise from me to you!!!
- That’s right…!! I made a promise being sure I will do it!! And I can’t step back!!!
- I am Ure Lang…!! I am from the White Ninja School…!!
- Despite being annoying and a trouble maker… there are two things I hate to be known as…
Page.101:
- The coward…
- And the Traitor…
- Just like what my master said…
- There will be a day when I’ll have to sacrifice my life for others.
Page.102:

- Good… no one is here…

The dealer then removes the cup, displaying the dice. The winners collect their money.

- If you don’t believe me, why not asking her by yourself?! That’s what her father did to keep his business up!!!
- And he never ever came to ask about her here!! What kind of parenthood is this?!! And that’s what’s happening to you…!!
- Nami-san… is it true?!!
- Actually……
Page.115:
- You’re quarter right!!!
- “Quarter right”?!!
- I think it’s time to make some things clear…
- One of them is the one you call “My father”…
- That guy is just a manger for that diner I used to work and live there… We are not related…
- And it’s true that he didn’t care about me nor bothered to give you what you wanted for me…
- But I didn’t care… because I have a reason for getting here…
- And it’s about my old house that you’ve burned with everyone inside… if you remember…
- Ah, yes… I remember lighting the fuse personally…

- Huh?! What’s that weird sword?!!
- It got no blade!!!
- “The Black Blade”… the name given to the special weapons of the White Ninja School. Because it’s forbidden to kill, we were in need for a strong weapon that doesn’t kill…
- It sure can’t cut, but it can break bones and cause painful bruises…!!
- Now… shall we get back to the main point?!!
- Oh, Yes…!! Who are you and how dare you crash in here and what do you want!!!

Page.131:

- Wait… don’t tell me my Mom is still housing strangers in the house, is she…?!
- You can say that…!!!
- But because she was generous with me, I decided to pay her back by retrieving you…
- Plus, we have personal things to discuss later.
- Hold it!! Do you think I’ll let you take him for nothing?!! Where’s my money?!!
- Why would someone pay for the guy who tried to kill the mortgage?!!!
- Oooooh… you think you are smart, girl?!!
Page.132:

- So, she’s the one who messed up the boxes…!!
- Kill her, men!!!

Page134:

- Huh?! Where did they go?!!!
- I asked them to leave…
- Now, would you get someone to challenge me?!! Unless you want me to hand you all to the magistrates!!!
- That does it!! Listen all of you… whoever brings me her head severed from her body; I’ll make him my right-hand man and the second-in-command…!!!

- Honorifics Guide:
- Because the manga is set in Japan, I saw it’s necessary to add honorific suffixes due to having several meanings that might differ or loss if they were not added or doing a direct translation. And here’s the list with explanation:
- 1- San: Usually translated to “Mr.”. The most commonly used when talking with a certain amount of respect.
- 2- Sama: Higher grade of respect than “San”. Usually translated as “Master”, and it’s used when talking with someone with a high state or rank.
- 3- Dono: Higher grade of respect that “Sama”. Usually translated as “Lord”, and it’s used for business related talk.
- 4- Kun: Equal to “San”, but it’s used among friends or equally rated people.
- 5- Chan: Used with babies and girls. It gives the sense of childish cuteness.
- 6- Sempai: Or “Senpai”, it’s used by co-workers when talking to their seniors.
- 7- Kohai: The opposite of “Sempai”. Used when talking to the juniors.
- 8- Sensei: Usually translated to “Master”. Used when referring to the doctors or teachers.

- Violet Shadows: Concept (1):
- Hello, everyone. In this segment, I’ll talk about the states I had while making this series, even if you think it’s a bit early…
- It all started from an idea came to me in summer 2006. Doing a short comic about my favorite old fighting game: “Yie Ar Kung Fu”.
- I made early drafts for the five characters: Lee, Wang, Tao, Chen, Lang and Mu. And then, I thought of a good story for them to do their roles.
- But… something unexpected happened!! And I didn’t know it’ll end up like this…!!
- To Be Continued:
Page.141:
- Violet Shadows: Concept (2):
- Hello again… do you know how I said something unexpected happened during making my comic?!
- The answer is: A 100% exact Rip-off of Dragon Ball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- I felt bad, and rejected that concept and started over. My next concept was about a delivery boy who had to save his grandfather from a company aiming for his giant gem.
- I made the characters like bosses for each floor, but couldn’t think beyond the fighting, and I rejected that as well…
- To Be Continued:
Page.142:
- Violet Shadows: Concept (3):
- I felt really down… so many failed attempts with no success. And then, I decided to drop my dreams and characters, but…
- For some reason…… Lang was stuck in my head and couldn’t stop from thinking about her. She was in my head everywhere I go, and I drew her a lot!!
- At that time… I knew that my drawing spirit did not die in me. And I got some brainstorms for several scenarios that I can try and see what’s best for me!!
- In our next meeting, we will go to all the scenarios and what got rejected.
- To Be Continued:
Page.143:
- Violet Shadows: Concept (4):
- Hello again… Like what I’ve said last time, I’ll talk about the scenarios that I came up with for Violet Shadows.
- Scenario 1: I made Lang a Ninja-In-Training in a high-tech modern ninja village, going in missions along with a boy named “Mizumaru” supervised by “Yoshimitsu”.
- Why it got rejected: It was similar to “Naruto”, and I was trying to avoid making obvious imitations.
- My start wasn’t that good… but it’s a start.
- To Be Continued:
Page.144:
- Violet Shadows: Concept (5):
- Welcome back, and let’s move on with my rejected ideas.
- Scenario 2: This time, Lang takes the role of a ninja ((Does she get other roles?!)) who wakes up and finds herself in the 21st century. And until she finds a way to get back to her original time, she stays with a family after saving their daughter, and she gets to a lot of embarrassing moments due to her ignorance to what’s in this time.
- Why it got rejected: I liked it initially, but didn’t use it because it wasn’t my taste at that time.
- Shihihihihi!! I got away from school!!!
- To Be Continued:
Page.145
- Violet Shadows: Concept (6):
- Hey again, let’s see what we got now…
- Scenario 3: Lang is a Koga ninja during the times of the civil wars in Japan. And to make use of herself, she got sent by her master to work under the military leader “yamato”. Lang work in several missions along with Yamato’s personal bodyguards who each of them got his own traits and personalities.
- Why it got rejected: Even though this is what I really wanted to do, since I had a lot of ideas that would work for the story, like Lang discovering that she is actually a “Yokai” shaped like a human and runs away from everyone; but there was one thing that made me change all of this to the one you are seeing now… what was it?!!!
- My end was dramatic in this scenario… very…
- To Be Continued:
Page.146:
- Welcome back. Do you remember saying that I cancelled my previous scenario because of something?!
- The reason was reading the manga called “Kurogane” by Kei Toume. The manga is about a wandering steel samurai “Jintetsu” and his talking sword “Haganemaru” and their adventures while crossing the land.
- I liked the story and how by travelling from place to place, they meet a verity of people and unknown places. Therefore, I’ve decided to make Lang a wanderer ninja who helps other in different situations.
- I thought of everything I could think of, and design everything I could design, and made a lot of researching till I reached a point where I said to myself : “Enough”!!! And started making the first episode.
- And with that, we end the “Concept” segment, and I’ll present the “Character Concept” in the next episode to get into the depth of designing the characters.
- Who would’ve thought that a hunk of metal would be the reason for what I’m right now?!!
