In a world full of undesirables, and unmentionables, where would you go? If you were shunned by society, and left for dead by the normals, what would you do? The answer: join the Demon Clan and escape it all by pledging your allegiance to the Akurai kage.
Now your wondering, who would want to do that? Serving a... demon? I say this, the kage may be a demon herself, but she requires you to be bound by no law, serving no one and living the life you wished you could always have.
A life without the taunts and threats of the everyday people. Life without the guilt and the mind numbing pain of loneliness and grief. The Demon Clan is a sanctuary for the unmentionables, and the forgotten.
As the rain fell from the weeping sky, Amber eyes sized up and memorized each and every being standing before them. The eyes belonged to a woman no older and no younger than 25, and she was the Akurei Kage.
No force could stop her, no force could suppress her rage she withheld from the torment she'd withstood in her earlier life. Nothing, not even her people, her... Demon Clan, could bring anything short of a smirk from her lips.
And so, as she stood before her people, holding the weapons their latest enemy had weilded, she held a gaze sharp enough to cut through even that of a sannin. And the village below her gazed up with hatred, and rage as they cursed the enemies outside the village for interrupting their peace and tranquility.
Each and every... abomination, so to say, glared up at the sky as they disbanded, and returned to their homes. Demons of every shape and size, roamed the street even after the ceremony, and they cursed and hissed and clawed at each other in fury.
The Akurei Kage sighed and tossed the katana she held onto the ground with bitter resentment. If only the outsiders would leave them be. After all, what had they ever done to them? Was it simply because they had been... born?
Whatever the cause, it could not be helped, and the puny ninja the enemy had sent, had never been a real threat to the clan, so it did not matter. Of course, it was annoying, the fact that you had to watch your back even after you had been promised safety.
And even though you wished you could truly be alone, and safe, such was an impossible wish to be wished... for it could never truly be granted.
Akureigakure, the village hidden by the demons, is a small, quaint village. And was founded nearly 15 years ago by the current kage herself. Money was scarce, so she had dropped it all together, and traded her own self-created jutsu and research for service and equipment to build the village.
Construction had been a hush-hush deal as well, seeing as the only ones who knew about it at the time were all kept under lock and key at the end of each day. Advertisement for the village, had also been dealt with very secretly.
A scroll was sent out to every known jinchuuriki, and any aching soul had come willingly. Some, had even brought their known counterparts. With time, the village had grown, and was soon dubbed an actual village. And was named Akureigakure.
Now you may be wondering, word would surely get out about the village's existence, because it was a village. And word did get out. Soon, many kages, and ninja knew about the Demon Clan, and they swore to destroy, and conquer each and every individual involved. Even the kage, who was criminal, and wanted by many A.N.B.U, was targeted.
But the village's citizens had fought back any force, or soul, brave enough to enter through the village gate.
Ok, well, this is basically a prologue, and it wasn't meant to be very long. I hope my clanlings like it thus far. Characters will be introduced in the next chapter.
