Chapter 1: The Boy

The frigid winds and the calming breeze swept the hillside while the mountains whispering at a distance. The night was a dead, quiet haven for the flora and fauna that had lived there. The cold was sheer and the wind was raging yet flowed gracefully through the area. The young boy had decided to finally stop by near a cave for shelter and for the night's rest. Lethargic and seemed like his mouth was shut tight in the passive surrounding, he laid down on a bed of rock as he pondered his existence and conscience.

His jet black hair in a curl and his fluorescent blue azure eyes seemed to be at harmony for once under the ever-warming embrace of the night sky and the crescent moon. Looking back at memories he vaguely sees yet remembers it clearly happening seemed all fresh in his mind and after that incident, his eyes seemed to change. It twitched constantly and it was extremely annoying but it felt fresh and brand new. He then decided to close it finally and go into a deep sleep, forgetting the harsh memories of yesterday and joyous towards the future.

The night sky had escaped into the abyss and so came the warmth of the morning sun and its bright, searing rays. The boy had woken up from his somewhat deep sleep and the twitching and disturbance from his eyes had ceased as if sleep was the cure. Another day of wandering in the outskirts of a country he never knew and a cycle had started. It was days before he could ever catch sight of any civilization or settlement nearby. The blaze pressed on and it would eventually get to him even under his normal, laid back self. He stumbled upon a dark forest which would give anyone the feeling of not being welcomed.

Suddenly, he felt as if someone or something was near, prowling from far and ogling him ready to attack him. The thing felt closer as ever like it was escaping something or running extremely fast. The thing moved and jumped around effortlessly and soon he was able to be seen normally. It seemed to be a person who was very agile and had reflexes which were incomparable according to him. He then felt two people on the person's trail who were hostile and they quickly launched on top of each tree nearby. They wore green flak jackets with a red swirl on their shoulders with forehead protectors engraved with a symbol of a clan or village which was very familiar to the boy.

They caught sight of him but simply ignored him and chased the person. He was curious and followed through, trying to run through the thick, dark depths of the forest which the searing rays could never even try to pass through. The trees had an ominous aura which settled perfectly with the forest. He couldn't catch up with the two mysterious men but he heard a crackling sound like something was burning nearby. The crackling sound turned into a infernal flame that was seen even from the boy's distance. He eventually caught up and felt the heat from the fire. Even he knew this was no forest flame or something being accidentally set on and he knew that this person that they were chasing was no ordinary man with fast reflexes or agility.

The boy suddenly fell onto his back as the ground shattered in half while the trees had been demolished from the recent flame. The boy got up to his feet and made it just in time before the ground revealed a valley of some sort like another realm was silently existing under the forest. The boy had to see what was going on with what seemed to have been a petty game of tag before. He caught up to the two men in green and saw the man that they were chasing. He was clad with long crimson and ice white robes that seemed to glow instantaneously with his long hat that had the word "Fire" on it. He also donned a mask that took the image of one of the Kotoamatsukami. "Hmm, a boy? What strategy do you damned shinobi of your forsaken village even think of?" the man in the robes simply said with a deep, discerning and festering voice. The two in green seemed hesitant even to give an answer, it was like they were in great awe of him.

"Who are you?" one of them questioned. The boy couldn't reply properly as the man in the robes seemed to have some spiritual connection with him. "The Sharingan. Impressive," the man grinned creepily. The Sharingan seemed unknown towards the boy and he had no idea whatsoever. "That isn't true. How can a boy like him awaken such a dojutsu such as that at his age?" one of them questioned. The man in robes didn't reply but instead went straight for the boy. It all happened in a second and there was no flash or trail left behind. One of them managed to blast him away with a tremendous fireball which the man casually shaked off. "There is no reason to this, you would all fall to me no matter how hard you strive," "You there, boy. You seem to be a runaway or a child that has no origin. Does this materialistic world with no ideals have any interest in you?" the man questioned.

The boy was shaken by the recent events that had struck him like lightning and he was struck silent too. "Enough of this, there is absolutely no way we're letting you go," says one of them. "Very well." In ab immediate flash, both of them who let down their guard had easily been struck by the man's electricity. The sound of the lightning screeched and was piercing while it worked as an intimidation. The boy quickly ran back to far behind the clearing made by the chaos. "You do have some potential with that Sharingan of yours. In fact, you possess an abnormal amount of chakra which I haven't seen in years," "You'll be fine under me. Now come by my side." The boy was reluctant and then, a burst of confidence had grown and he wasn't fazed by him. It was very unlike him and he felt under control. "Oh. You wouldn't want power like this?". The man reveals his upper face and reveals a strangely patterned eye that was menacing to look at.

It had a gloomy feel of hatred and darkness that seeped within it. "The Mangekyou Sharingan. This is simply just a pawn to the great plan that shall proceed immediately. This changes fate and decides fate. If I were you, I would tremble at the sight of such chakra and power." The boy then steps closer and the surrounding is hit with silence and an unnerving aura. The boy suddenly feels a massive change in his soul and body and his eye starts to shape into the Sharingan.
