## Konohagakure General Hospital - Friday, October 13 ##
From room 613, you could hear screams of pain as Hikari Uchiha, a 27 year old jonin kunoichi, gave birth to the firstborn child of her and her husband, Taiyo Uchiha, a 28 year old jonin, who was holding her hand and saying comforting words, while the midwife nurse told her, "Push! Push! He's crowning!" Finally, the baby was born, a small, fragile child with hair roots as black as darkness. But unknown to all but a few, he was a Kagenoko, a child of the shadows, and this is his story.
## The Pure Land ##
Meanwhile, a figure sat in a lotus position, meditating. He wore a white, full-length kimono with a pattern of six black magatama around a high collar. He felt a new source of chakra become suddenly generated, and first he simply dismissed it, but there were two strange things about this new chakra source. One, it was much stronger than a normal infant's chakra source, and two, it had a second layer, a black one that radiated death and darkness. Intrigued and also slightly afraid that this was another one of THOSE children, he quickly used his chakra to break the equilibrium between his Pure Land body and his soul before forcing his soul out of his body.
His body now sat there, but his soul was now a seperate entity, an astral figure. He quickly descended to Konoha, before heading to Room 613. He phased through the door and saw a beautiful woman holding a fragile child, as the father watched on with a smile. Activating his Rinnegan, he saw the child's chakra core, and gasped.
The Yin part was much larger than the Yang, even more so than other cases that he had seen, but that wasn't all. He saw the blue-black aura that emnated death and dark power, but it felt much denser and far more powerful. The mother cradled her child, smiling, and the midwife asked, "What will you name him?", to which the mother replied, "Yami. His hair is as black as darkness, yet so beautiful." The child held his mother's arm, and the aura reached out tendrils toward the mother's soul, before the life force was slowly sucked out of the mother's soul, piece by piece. Because of the recent childbirth, the mother's soul didn't attempt to resist the pull, so the mother died peacefully. Hagoromo watched in shock and confusion as the heart monitor completely flatlined and the father, in shock as well, called for the doctor.
Hagoromo had never seen this. That was plain and simple. Normally, it was the child who died, not the parent. Secondly, this child's aura was far more powerful than the normal aura of one of THESE children. As the father spoke with the doctor about what had happened, as both were incredibly confused, since there had been no complications up to this day, Hagoromo went to the baby nursery, following the nurse, who held the infant - Yami, he reminded himself, - before him and the nurse carrying baby Yami arrived at the nursery. The nurse left the baby on the crib before walking out. Hagoromo walked to the crib in which Yami was laid, before thinking on what to do. This child would be a game-changer. He knew that a strange black creature had changed the tablet he had made. This child was much more powerful than the other children like him he has seen. He needed to stay alive. With this in his mind, he walked up to the child, before stretching out his hand over the child and funneling his power into him, until a black crescent appeared on the left palm of infant Yami and a white circle appeared on the infant's right palm. He then used chakra to force all the Kagenokami and their Energy into the Chakra Core, making them part of it, before using Fuinjutsu to keep the Kagenokami there. He then smiled and said, "Good luck, child.", before turning and ascending back to the Pure Land. He could've sworn he heard Yami cooing in reply as he left.
