There are rumors in the shinobi world that there was once a woman from the Ōtsutsuki clan who fed from the chakra fruit of the god tree and became the first person to wield chakra.
The woman used her new abilities to stop the constant wars during her era becoming host to the tree's power known as the ten tails.
That woman was named Kaguya Ōtsutsuki.
Another rumor forgoes of her bearing two sons, Hamura and Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki who held the same power as their mother and noticed the shift in their mother from protection of the people to instilling fear within them. Fear of her and her consumption of all chakra, they sealed her away.
There goes another rumor, a much unbelieved rumor that Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki stole an inkling of ten tails chakra to create a weapon that would defeat his mother. That weapon took form of a big animal, with wide wings on its back, talons as nails, and chakra that was said to never end. A dragon as it was called. A piece of the ten tails that used itself to defeat Kaguya and have her locked away forever.
It was said that as the man now known as the 'Father of Six Paths' became the first jinchuriki and locked up the remaining ten tails inside himself; when his time was coming to an end he enlisted his companion, the dragon, to separate the ten tails chakra into nine individual beings. Entrusting the dragon to keep the nine pieces of chakra separated and safe from harm.
These were the rumors that shaped the shinobi world. Many men and clans traveled all around the world in search for the great power of the dragon king, in hopes to gain its power and defeat enemies in a rain of blood.
Many tried and failed, dying hopeless as more days passed and there was no sign of existence of the dragon king.
It took many years until the search for the dragon king stopped completely, becoming a relic of the past.
But the rumors don't end there.
There was a rumor within a clan, of a child who stumbled upon the dragon king sleeping one morning as she fell deep into a cave. This child befriended the dragon king, everyday going down that same cave to meet with her friend and play, forgetting the trouble of dead shinobi family members and enless war between clans.
As she got older, she was pushed into the world of shinobi, fighting alongside her brothers and sisters, getting firsthand experience of the true horrors of war. She, once a small child hoping peace would ensure between shinobi, became a teenage girl disgusted by humanity as day in and day out she would return back to the battlefield for another fight.
Rumor continued that this young girl became a woman, became of age to be sold into a marriage contract within clans in hopes to be used as a way of peace but in actuality was a way to bring two clans together and continue their bloodshed against other clans.
Filled with rage over being used as a pawn for war, the woman confided in her old friend back down in the cave and pleaded for a way out of the bloodshed.
Rumor states that whatever was discussed down in the cave bonded the two using their chakras and the woman became the first person to be host of the dragon king.
She used her newfound power to overthrow her father as head of the clan and put a stop to the war between her clan and the others.
But she was too far gone from humanity, she saw no room for progression and so, she created a village of those who followed her in the outskirts of war and formed peace within themselves, using the chakra the dragon had allowed her to have and dispersed it within her clan members to be as one, united by the secretsy they all decided to remain to themselves.
The woman was known as Kaida and the clan was known as the Yukimura clan.
There were rumors from the outside that the clan was a woman ruled clan, keeping out of bloodshed and striking with a hard fist when other clans would decide to ambush, always in victory and always in the shadows.
Rumors plagued that the Yukimura clan were the first settlers on what is now the land of fire; Hashirama Senju, along with Mardara Uchiha begged (Hashirama mostly) the current leader of the Yukimura clan to take a piece of the land for the sake of a peaceful village between clans.
With the Yukimura's clan ideals for peace, the clan leader agreed and that piece of land became known as the Village Hidden in the Leaves, Konohagakure.
More and more attention fell onto the Yukimura clan. Questions surrounded a clan, a first of which to have a female ruler and majority of the clan females, stay untouched from war and thrived like no other clan had done before.
The Yukimura clan continued to keep to themselves, attention on them more than ever, they continued to live in their village, with their imputs for the new village being the only source of interaction.
Rumors go that years went by, the land of fire thrived and became an example for others to become one and form their own villages. Thus the Five Great Nations were born.
The Yukimura clan was still in recluse, that is until one boy, sneaked off to the village of the leaves when hearing of their ninja academy, in hopes of new friends and scenery than his clan.
Born from the clan leader, he became the first to be involved within the now stable village and enter the ninja academy.
The boy was named Akihiko Yukimura and became the one of few male clan leaders when he reached of age.
At the age of twenty two, the now clan leader Akihiko Yukimura, the day of his initiation as clan leader and being passed down the power of the dragon, a man attacked the hidden village using the power of the nine tails.
Weak from the ceremony, he and his people rushed to help tame the nine tails but when they did, it was too late. The damage was done, and Akihiko reached the village too late.
He watched as his friends, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were impaled by the nine tails claw in order to protect their new born child and with Akihiko's help, sealed the remained nine tails power within their small child.
The small child was Naruto Uzumaki and he became the first outsider to enter the Yukimura clan per Ahikiko's order for his two friends.
Two years later, an incident in which no one saw coming filled the Yukimura clan in silence, complete silence. One that was not a rumor,
Every member of the clan, dead with no trace of who.
All but two we're found alive: the nine tails jinjkuriki Naruto Uzumaki, and Ahikiko's Yukimura's three year old daughter Hideko Yukimura.
That night was known as the Yukimura downfall leaving only one Yukimura standing although the rumor goes that all had perished that night.
In hopes to keep the daughter of his student's student safe, the third hokage burned any remains of the Yukimura village and brought the last Yukimura into the hidden leaf for her to live in. Unaware of the significance to her name or the rumors it possessed, she were to remain in the shadows. The third believing the power the Yukimura's had, perished with her father.
It would take thirteen years in order for all rumors to be confirmed one way or another and for Hideko to find out the truth about her clan and the true power they possessed when a group of cloaks decide to take the power in her friend while another friend chooses a dark path for himself.
Now I do want to make a disclaimer because, yes this will have a love story but that will not be the only thing in this story. Personally I love stories that involve other things like friendship, character development, relationships other than romance and a good OC so yes, there are romantic moments but this story will be more than that as it progresses. (Just something to keep in mind)
