Introduction In a time long ago, there was a group of children in a small town in Japan. They were all friends, and played games like MahJong together. One day, one of the young boys named Ninjitsu "Ninja" Wang and another of the boys named Samurai Wong got into an argument about whether to play MahJong or else Hide and Seek. Half of the friends sided with young Wang, and the other half with Wong. The argument grew and tempers rose, until the boys finally broke out into a full fight. Ninja's group ran and hid in the nearby woods, and Samurai's group chased after them. A vicious battle ensued, until both groups finally retreated.
