Prologue: Enter Anji
Anji was what you called a child with an odd and somewhat troubled past. The boy was conceived when his mother was on vacation in a neutral country. Why do I say a Neutral instead of a normal country? Well, not all the countries in the area were on good terms. Wars had spread throughout the years and made some of the countries reasonably untrustworthy and untrusting of others. Anyways, she met a man their who she quickly fell for. They had nice dinner date and later that night they went back to his place. Things went awry after that however, as he proceeded to rape her. He then after kept her around to rape and mess with from time to time. The kicker is, he didn't kill her until he found out she was from the Fire nation and was a Shinobi of Konoha. Well, he was a Shinobi of the Mist village and the two were not on friendly terms. The instant he found out, he killed her and would've killed their newborn son, of which was conceived from one of the times he raped her, but a shinobi had come looking for her, as she was a medical ninja of great importance, and rescued the child. The father then proceed to disappear into the shadows, and was never found. That child was Anji. His mother had named him as such because of his strength at such a young age. He was then adopted and the shinobi agreed to keep his lineage a secret, due to the fact that the child was born in such a way, and therefore was a disgrace to the clan of which his mother was from. He was adopted by a man and woman by the names of Shinji and Areia. Shinji was a good hearted man. He was a shinobi as well, but wasn't a particularly skilled one. His mother was a cook and had a degree of knowledge about shinobi, because her father had been one years ago, before he had died. Despite his death being in a war, she had learned to let it go a long time ago. Anji kept his original first name due to his mothers last request to keep it. It was a simple life. But 8 years later, that would all change…
