Prologue...

A/N I recieved a comment for this fic on my AFF account, and it pointed out that, while I as the author, understand whats going on, the readers DON'T. Therefore I am putting up this prologue to make things simpler and more understandable.

Lots of thanks to Sneaky fox.

A long time ago there were several intelligent species on Terra,and none of them had dominance over the others. Except for humans, the other species were Demons and Vegitatis.the humans of that time were all gifted with what we today call power, or magic, despite that they were peaceful. The Vegetatis were plant like beings, protectors of forests and flowers, they have almost completely dissapeared from the world.

The ones that this legend foccuses on are the Demons, because that is where all the trouble started.

The demons were a very factioned and divided people. They divided themselves into Elemental demons ;whose hair and eye colour gave away their element, into spirit animals who, while humanoid had traits of the animal whose spirit they housed, another division was the Angels who had wings of many colours but white was the most common.

And in these divisions there were more divisions. The spirit animals divided into the spirit they were possesed by; the Fox or Kitsune, the Wolves or wolverine and the Snakes or Serpentine being the mst important and most powerfull. There were also the merpeople but they were, and remain very seclusive.

At the beginig the Demons were also very peacefull and they didn't bother the factions nor did they bother the Humans or Vegetatis.

And so the three races lived a peaceful life for a few hundered centuries or so.

All the races valued the team-work that had gradually developed between them, and to further this ideal the demons all chose the most promising of their young ones and sent them to the Human city of Konoha, to train, study and understand human ways, in turn the Humans learned about Demon ways and traditions and were able to avoid offending them.

Seeing as how the demons were factioned, over a hundred children would come to konoha every year and to make training them easier the First Hokage had decread that each teacher who had voulenteered would take on three students all from diffrent Demon tribes and guide their training. That was also meant to help Demons understand each other.

And so it happend, under the rule of the Second Hokage that three demon children were given to a teacher whose name was Sarutobi. (they didn't bother with surnames at the time) the three children were all spirit animals but of diffrent tribes. There were two boys, an Amphibious named Jiraiya and a Serpentine named Orochimaru. The third child was a girl named Tsunade and she belonged to the Tribe of the Slugs. Jiraiya was stupid enought to try and tease her about that...Well suffice it to say he ended up unconcious for the rest of the day.

Jiraiya and Tsunade were fairly normal children, they enjoyed having fun, teasing each other, driving their sensei up the wall...normal things. Orochimaru however, only seemed to want to use his powers more to be able to surpass everyone around him. He was a lonlely child, who thought that the only goal in life was to learn all that there was to learn in order to gain power. Jiraiya and Tsunade tried to get Orochimaru to stop being so power obbsesed, and to act more like a child. They didn't succeed.

The three of them gained the title of the famous Sannin at the age of 17, 4 years after they had begun training. Of the three of them Orochimaru was the strongest in terms of strength and cunning, but he could never beat the two of them combined since he never understood the actual strength of team-work. Nor did he wish to. And that cost him dearly.

Sarutobi had become the third Hokage by then and Konoha flourished, along with the rest of Terra.
It was ten years into Sarutobi's reign when he announced his succsesor, a former student of Jiraiya's.

Yondaime Arashi.Orochimaru became angry at this, he had thought that he would be Sarutobi's succsessor and would thus gain more power. He confronted Sarutobi and they fought, a battle of hate, and anger,sadness and,dispair , dissapointment and self-loathing.

Orochimaru won, killing his old Sensei. He fled Konoha, knowing that he would never be welcomed there again. Tsunade and Jiraiya pursued him, and fought against him,but they could not kill him, for he was the boy they had grown up with. He had been Tsunade's first crush and Jiraiya's best friend and rival. So they let him go and warned him never to return to konoha again.

Konoha was thrown into mourning and Arashi had to wear the robes of Hokage far sooner than he would have liked. Several years passed without word of Orochimaru. Tsunade and Jiraiya had left, each their own seperate ways, after the death of Sarutobi. Konoha prospered, but a cloud hung over it. One filled with malice and the thirst for revenge.

7 years after the death of Sarutobi and the betrayal of Orochimaru, Konoha was attacked by orochimaru. He had gathered many thousand followers and had come back to get his revenge.

It so happened that he attacked konoha during the Summer festival,and that Jiraiya and Tsunade were both in konoha sharing sake.

Another battle ensued between the three Sannins and once again Orochimaru lost. But the damage had been done. The humans in Konoha had been exposed to some kind of poison that while it didn't affect demons, it took away all powers that the humas had. Konoha managed to throw out the attackers but it's losses were heavy. The peple in it whose powers had been taked decided to build another village, this one in the desert, and the called it Suna.

Demons always had problems going into desert terrain and thus the people were a little safer.

They developed martial arts and ther useful skills to use in a fight.. and that is how humans lost their powers.

Konoha became a school for magically gifted Humans, the few that had been outside Konoha and retained theri powers, as well as those Demons who wished to be able to fight against Orochimaru, who was still alive somehow.

Konoha became a school for fighters, for protectors. And those in the school took a lot of care not to breed another Orochimaru...Tsunade, and Arashi remained in the school, each trying to atone for what they felt were their mistakes. Jiraiya took to travelling the world in search of Orochimaru, and would drop by every year or so to report on the Snake Demon's wherabouts.

The teachers in the school changed, bt those two remained, always keeping an eye out for Orochimaru.

The greatest mess after the attack on konoha that they had to face was Orochimaru's right-hand man Kabuto, creating a species of Evil humans who needed the blood of other humans to survive and could turn more humans into their kind...Vampyry, Vampiir, Vampire.

They became Konoha's greatest adversaries and another agenda was born. Destroy the Vampires.
