"What.. is that awful.. sound" slowly said a deep voice, looking around within his confines he managed to find the source of the grating cries. Lo and behold the sounds originated from a sack of furs. Pushing some energy into his confines he managed to move some branches to pick up the crying sack and after picking up the source of noise he managed to get a good look at it, upon closer inspection he found that the sack of furs hid away an infant boy. Said boy looked like a typical infant, but one discernible feature of this one was his tuft of deep red hair.

"It seems that you humans haven't changed one bit in these 10,000 lifetimes." he grumbled, "No matter. I will raise you, to be something greater, from today forth you will be called Kurenai Shin. Son and Avatar to Vaatu the Spirit of Darkness and Chaos." as he introduced himself he quietly and peacefully set down the crying boy on a nearby branch keeping a careful eye as to make sure he doesn't fall off.

Kurenai: 1 Year Old

Little Kurenai firmly grasped onto his adoptive father's branches as he slowly but shakily stood on his own two legs, granted his father had made sure that the little human was holding onto him so as not to fall but it was progress and Vaatu couldn't be any more prouder.

Kurenai: 1 ½ Years Old

The day went by as usual, Vaatu trapped within the Tree of Time due to the accursed Raava and Wan, Vaatu looking at the different memories inside said tree, his little human calling for hi- wait his little human!? He quickly turned to face his little human with a face of surprise, well, as much of a face as a flying kite could give, when the sound of "Dada!" cut through the silence as he refocused unto his little boy. "Dada!" he shouted once again smiling a goofy grin. A feeling of pride and happiness swelled inside Vaatu, and trying his best sent a smile back to his adopted son.

Kurenai: 6 Years Old

Kurenai was no longer little anymore he was a man! According to him at least, but to his father Vaatu he was no different than he was when he first found him, his little boy. *Crack* Vaatu immediately turned his sights onto the source of the noise immediately pumping spiritual energy unto the tree to protect his son, but what he found surprised him. There was his little boy with a foot long vine right next to him. "Daddy look! I did the plant thingy you always do!" shouted the small boy. Vaatu smiled and sent out a branch to ruffle his son's hair.

Kurenai: 16 Years old

Kurenai was now 16 years old and currently staring at his reflection across the water as he prepared to wash himself after today's training, the little boy that his father picked up was no more, in his place stood a man with a humble height of 6'3, with lean muscles that was obtained through years of hard work, his face was unblemished but his body was another story, his father while kind and gentle was an absolute menace when training, he held no punches and made sure to teach Kurenai that the world will show no mercy to anyone, more so the son of chaos and darkness. Kurenai had a slight smile on his face as his memories drifted to his training, while simultaneously recalling how he got his more definitive scar, the one on his eye.

*FLASHBACK*

Kurenai was 10 years old and alone, his father blindfolded him and had one of the spirits carry him to an unknown spot. So here he sat trying to find his way back home *ROAR* Kurenai jumped and immediately got into a fighting pose, he continuously looked around looking for the source of noise when his eyes landed on a large beast charging towards him. He immediately rolled to the right as the beast barreled past him *ROAR* the beast charged towards him once again intent on turning him into a skewer-

*END FLASHBACK*

Kurenai was shaken out of his thoughts as two large beams of light collided right above his father's prison, almost simultaneously a wave of light passed over the barren wasteland almost sending him flying, but fortunately he was able to hold onto one of the few trees in the area. Kurenai smirked as he knew what this meant, and right on cue he could see his father fly far into the sky grumbling about insolent humans and idiotic, long haired male's being loud. Kurenai immediately sent some energy into the ground causing a multitude of large glowing vines to sprout from the earth.

"It'd be rude not to greet our guests" sighed Kurenai as he immediately guided his vines to take him to his father's tree. As he got nearer to the tree he heard a multitude of voices, listening closely he managed to pick up "New era" from a male and a "I'm the Avatar" from a female voice. Kurenai sped up his vines and eventually saw two figures fighting, one female and one male, assuming the female was the avatar and the male was the idiot who released his father, he stopped the flow of energy into his vines causing them to stop any form of movement, he sat back and enjoyed the fight, 'I'll interfere if it looks like the Avatar is losing' he hummed to himself. After a while it looked like the male had managed to outlast the Avatar due to her torn clothes and ragged breathing, meanwhile the man had no signs of damage and seemed only slightly winded. Kurenai had seen enough, it was time for the world to see Kurenai Shin. The son and Avatar to Vaatu the Spirit of Chaos and Darkness."

"I wonder how many volts the idiot can handle" he hummed to himself.
