In the calm of the night, a rather terrifying scene is shown with splatters of blood shown everywhere and different shadowy figures running around and slaughtering civilians in a rather large village
This is the Sepal village filled with the Homuragi clan.The village was in the midst of a massacre from monsters called "Shadows".
A young boy around 4 years old is seen running at a very high speed from numerous shadows, but his speed was too much for his eyes to follow and he tripped over a stone.The boy was characterised with vibrant , spiky and fiery red hair, with few strands coming down his head.
The shadows caught up to him and were about to stab him with their sharp claws when they all suddenly caught fire and to their surprise,a man in his late twenties having silky red hair suddenly appeared in front of them In a ray of crimson light with a traditional swordsman kimono and swiftly slaughtered the shadows,spared from his flames with his red katana that was coated in fire .
This man was the clan head of the Homuragi clan and the father of the young child
". Shinji are you alright" he asked the boy ,his tone filled with evident worry
"I'm fine Tou-san but Kaa-chan ...". Shinji Said ,years welling up in his eyes.
"I know son ,I saw her corpse as I ran here"
Enjin said,his face becoming dark
"But I don't understand, what are these things and why would they..." Shinji said before he was suddenly pushed into an alley by his father and in that split second,his father was cut into two halves by a blood sickle, separating his upper body from his lower body.
At the same time,the blood of countless dead villagers began to levitate and they turned into sickles that flew around, blitzing through the village and killing everyone and everything in their path, making the village more bloody than it already was.
Shinji tried to run to his dying father but he suddenly felt immense pressure caused a an individual with a terrifying aura.
"Move, Move,why can't I move" Shinji thought as he was unable to move his body in the presence of this ominous aura ,so he stayed where he was and watched what was going to unfold before him.
"Did we get all of them?" the person who this murderous aura was emanating from said in a very deep voice.
"Yes we did Tobisora -sama, thanks to your blood sickles " a shadow who appeared beside him said
The one who this ominous aura was emanating from was Tobisora,with a tall muscular stature ,horns on his head and on his chest showed Kurokage 10 in kanji .
Tobisora walked up to Enjin who was barely breathing and bent down beside him bringing his face closer to him with a wide mocking grin on his face.
"Oh , what do we have here,are you not Enjin Homuragi,the most versatile and powerful flame shadowblade the Homuragi clan has ever produced.Your clan supposedly slaughtered more of my kind when you came into power.With all that you were taken down with a single strike.That just shows how powerful your clan is.I thought this massacre would be hard but it turned out to be pretty easy due to how weak and powerless your clan is." Tobisora said as he let out a loud, mocking laugh.
"You may be laughing now but my clan will have it's revenge, guaranteed."Enjin said as he coughed out blood.
"Well isn't that a bold statement, then answer me this , how is that going to happen when there's no one left in your clan .The entire Homuragi clan has been destroyed "Tobisora said as he let out another mocking laugh
"You'll know when it happens, Kurokage 10"
Enjin said with all the strength he could muster
After he said this , he thought
"Be careful, don't die Shinji"
"Your confidence disgusts me .I guess the only thing that can break your spirit is death "
Tobisora said before punching Enjin's face in and finally killing the Homuragi clan head,Enjin Homuragi.
After he did this,he laughed in a very evil way for a while before saying
"Now,the Homuragi clan is gone, one obstruction to our plan has been eliminated.I'm sure my lord will be pleased "
"Everyone, let's return "Tobisora shouted as all his troops ran towards him.He opened a black portal and walked through it ,all his troops following behind him before the portal closed.
Shinji,relieved of the immense pressure ran towards his father .
"Tou-san, Tou-san, please don't leave me, please"he said, weeping profusely on his father's corpse.
"What do I do now, everyone's gone, I'm the only one left" he said but a memory suddenly resurfaced in his mind.
FLASHBACK
Enjin is shown sharpening his katana on a platform in a workshop with Shinji sat down on the platform sitting right beside the blade.
"Tou-san ,Tou-san, why do you look so down"Shinji said in a very innocent voice.
"Ah ,I guess I don't need to hide this from you anymore"Enjin thought as he took a deep breath.
"Shinji, I'm sure you've already noticed that people in the village go out frequently fighting a particular enemy "he waited for a response and Shinji nodded in affirmation."Those enemies may come attack the village and in a situation that anything happens, I'll need you to take this scroll and go to the Nexus village and when you get there,all will become clear to you "Enjin said as he took out a scroll from his pocket and gave it to Shinji"Keep it with you always,is that clear ,Shinji"
"Okay Tou-san I promise I'll do that but I'll never have to because you're the strongest "
Shinji said with a smile and Enjin seeing his son also smiled and ruffled his son's hair.
FLASHBACK ENDS
"I have no choice,I promised Tou-san,I have to do that " he said, checking if the scroll was still with him.Comfiming it was with him , he nodded and went back to his father's corpse.
"I'm off Tou-san,wish me luck "Shinji said as he bent down showing a little respect before walking in the direction of the sunrise.
He walked with his fist held up and tears streaming down his face.
