Prologue
In a hundred years, the shinobi world picked up its pieces and managed to heal along the way. Aside from little fastly burning-out civil wars, the Nations ceased to wage war. But under that mask of peace corruption spread around like a rash. From the heroes of the world, shinobi started to turn into mercenaries, while Kages turned into their wicked leaders. Konoha endured while turning a blind eye to the situation.
Clans have been created, clans were no more. The Uchiha clan extinguished like a flame under the rain. By that time, however, there were brilliant shinobi who were able to extract the secrets behind the Sharingan and the Amaterasu.
While Mangekyou Sharingan was regarded with reluctance by the Konoha leaders, the Sharingan itself was given to a family who was to take the Uchiha name as well, though not related to the ancient bloodline whatsoever.
The Amaterasu was classified as a severe S-ranked kinjutsu, but one man was allowed to study it, developing the therefore known Dark Flames and Shadowplay. That man took the name of Tokuro and was believed to have mastered Amaterasu himself without any Bloodline Limit to his ancestry.
Years passed, the Uchiha and Tokuro clans grew and established themselves as ruling. The Uchiha were rendered dangerous because of the fabled Mangekyou Sharingan, thus kept at distance from the Hokage. The Tokuro clan was ruling like once the Senju clan had, because everyone thought that their Shadowplay was harmless.
It is fate that brings down whatever goes up, as at the moment of the following presentation of events the Konoha Calendar is decorated with a mourning day called Slaughter Day. It marks the doom of the Tokuro clan.
The heir of the clan was only a few months old when the uncle of the head turned up dead. Since then bodies started to appear as a feast for flies was laid down. The murderer had chosen his victims wisely for, one day, the Tokuro clansmen started accusing and killing each other. The head died on the just-made battlefield. His wife protected her baby to her last breath as none other than Tokuro Isamu, the head's cousin, took her life. The baby was saved by Taashi Yuudai, the Butcher Hero as he deemed himself, but Isamu escaped. News of him being in the Lightning Country traveled to Konoha, but the Council decided to ignore him and take care of the matter at hand. The Tokuro heir became the most important child and received thorough preparation for what was to come. The Konoha leaders decided that he grow strong, marry another powerful heir and make a family, which was to return in time to the mighty clan it had once been.
As fate played dice with them, the Tokuro's match ran away from the village and the leaders were forced to make a reconsideration of the matter. The heir did not pause his training, promising the power of a genius.
But the thing about normal people is that they never cease to surprise you. This is the story of a normal girl who lives and dies without making it to the Legendary Shinobi Books, but she achieves something more important as she witnesses her friends shining in the spotlight.
