Prologue
On the precipice of a ripple
Toxic chakra wafted through the air, casting the night in a pale crimson hue. Her long black hair trailed behind her in the wind from the Demon. Ringed eyes stared blandly at the towering monstrosity before her. Behind her in the valley lay her home village, along with her single son. Thinking of her son brought joy and pain into her mind.
She was to bear twins, each a boy, but if they were to progress both would have died. She had to choose one of her sons to live. An unbearable choice for any mother, so she both reviled and loved her remaining son. Her son gifted with the powers of the forest…
It roared and swiped one of its tails at her. Startled out her thoughts she flipped away from it and twisted her fingers into signs before slamming her hand upon the ground. She rose quickly through the air, a large cloud of smoke formed beneath her. When it cleared a large purple crab sat blankly.
The Demon drew in a deep breath and exhaled a breath of fire.
The ringed eyes in its eye stalks twitched. Her fingers danced through more seals. 'Suiton: Homatsu Rappa' She called out in her head. The Crab opened its mouth and expelled a rush of bubbles and foam that quelled the fire.
The demon growled low in its throat.
She smirked slightly. When she had come to the front to combat the beast she had fully expected to die. Silently she dispelled her summon and dropped to the ground.
'Goodbye son…'
Her hands vigorously pumped through seals. She held her hands open away from her body, straining she brought them together and the earth rose to meet her demands. 'Chibaku Tensei'
Thick globs of earth rose and impacted with the demon, quickly enveloping it in a large sphere. Slowly it rose into the sky and became the moon.
Then the Rikudō Sennin died.
AN: This is the prologue to a short fic that will set up at least one of many future ones to come. It will end after the sixth or seventh chapter with another new story following it.
