There are humans with non spiritual powers. Only two really, but we know witches are real as they mention them in canon. Enju and her brother... non canon but still fun ideas to play with.

I have so many ideas, ideas that are only possible with this version. Enju a potterer with firemagic, Urasue a sorceress with a variety of magics and Kawaramaru ( A warrior/general)... it is perfect.


Three years before Canon starts

Falling into the Underworld was never what Nate planned. Warped and broken, crazed at the loss of his life, he spent what felt like months screaming into the void. It was merely days though, and something in him broke...

The Soul Piper, a demon he saw trying to soothe him with it's song, slowly opened it's eyes and he knew somehow that this would be his demise...

Flying to it, as only a ghost could, he cried out. "Help me, please... I cannot find peace here. I know I need to, but something isn't letting me... if I can have another chance, to know life, to fill myself with the possibility of choice... I'll take it, just let me live!"

The portal to hell open and chains flew at him. Terrified, he rushed away, outward and fast as he could. The chains followed though, tearing through the air with fervent white hot energy. Still he fled, faster and into the woods, hoping to find salvation somehow. Diving low, he found the remains of a massive tree, one that oozed power that his living self would never have felt.

It called to him, in a way that was beyond physical. He rushed toward it, touching it the moment the chains wrapped around his foot. Energy exploded through him, shattering the chains and yanking him through time and space, spitting him out into a world nothing like his own. One filled with nature and life, minimal pollution and endless stars. Rising into the air, he hurried away, not even questioning how he go there, too afraid.

He hurried away, only to feel a literal whirlpool of energy snatch him up and yank him away. He flew, fast and far, towards a mountain peak filled with smoke. The energy drug him towards what looked like a kiln, dragging him inwards. Everything went white hot, then cold, then entirely dark...

He did not sleep, he panicked in the cold vessel, until light pierce above him and he reached out for it. Energy filled him and he saw a crone looking at him, malice and confusion on her face. " How... what ... you... you should be a soldier, strong and powerful, not a weak frail child!" She lifted her scythe, only to freeze. "This could only have happened if your soul was dominate, too powerful to not override the magic of my kiln, recreating your own body... a rarity... tell me, what is your name?"

"Nate... ma'am."

"What services would you offer me if you were allowed to live?"

"Anything I can, I want to live. I was a ghost, ma'am, I avoided the Soul Piper and almost landed in hell... I am willing to do anything, to live again... evil things if I need to but I am not sure what I can do. I had no real skills in life, too young for that. I died at fourteen... but maybe you can teach me, so I become useful?"

The witch laughed. "I am in need of another to help me with my potion work, herb collecting and more... arise, Nate, and become my newest son. I am your mother Urasue!"

And so he did, vowing to do whatever he needed to do, in order to survive. He was granted a second chance at life, he would never waste it...


Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.

This was a joy to write. I have so many plans, this is my my accurate version yet.

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
