The Fox Bandit

Prologue

There's a legend told in Konoha. A legend of the wild west and the heros and villians that lived there. It tells the story of the Fox Bandit, the roughest, thoughest cowhand turned Outlaw to walk the dusty streets. The legend states that the Fox Bandit was unbeatable in a gunfight and mean as a rattlesnake waiting to ambush its prey.

However, that is only partly true. The tale my father told me at bedtime was much more elaborate than that. Yes, the Fox Bandit was rough, and tough, but something was left out. Something important that people didn't think their little ones would enjoy as much. I figured it out.

There's a story within a story.

I'm going to tell you that story.
