Chapter 1: The beginning…

[55 Years after the formation of Konoha]

*Bang*

The sound of wood breaking was only drowned out by the screams of a child, "*Sob* Please! I'm sorry! I didn't mean too!" A child no more than 5 pleaded for his father to stop as tears streamed down his face, this wasn't the first time he was hit, kicked, or thrown… This seemed to be a daily occurrence since the boy's mother passed.

"It's YOUR FAULT! If you weren't born with that demonic chakra she'd be alive!" Once again driving his foot into the boy's stomach, and again, and again, and again… The man didn't stop till he thought Shirohi was unconscious in a pool of blood and tears, turning away the man left the room slamming the door behind him.

*Bang* *Click*

As the sound of the door locking reached the boy's ears he slowly opened his eyes, fear hidden deep in his pale blue eyes as he scanned the room. Forcing himself to sit-up despite the pain Shirohi leaned against the wall, using the hole that was made from his father throwing him against the wall he dragged himself up. As he limped towards the pile of cloth he called a bed he began muttering tears pouring down his cheeks, "Mom… I miss you… please… please come back…"

Repeating this mutter like a mantra the boy; Shirohi Tensuki slowly fell into the clutches of exhaustion…

Every day would repeat in the same manner, the drunken father returning home grief stricken and full of anger only to vent it on his only family… The so-called reason for his love death, every day worse than the last but sadly this was all the boy knew… The few memories of his mother were the one thing holding his mind together but one of those memories threatened to pull it apart…

=========================================

[2 Years Ago]

A young boy, standing almost at 95cm ran up to his mother with a flower in hand. His wide smile made his androgynous features lean feminine as his large pale blue almond shaped eyes looked up to his mother.

"Mom look, I found a Stargazer Lily" The boy seemed ecstatic as he showed off his find, his mother could only softly laugh as she crouched down meeting the boys eyes as she plucked the lily from his hand.

"Pure and Innocent just like you, my little moon" The boy's mother carefully placed the Stargazer Lily into her hair, Taking Shirohi's hand she spoke "Time to return home alright?"

Shirohi nodded his smile seemingly impossible to lose as he looked at the surrounding flowers with keen interest, just like his mother he loved nature. As the duo left the small net of trees a figure appeared in front of them brandishing a kunai "Hana, your days as a rogue shinobi end here!'' The figure burst forward while Hana pulled Shirohi behind her.

*Ting*… *Ting**Ting**Ting*

The crisp sound of metal against metal rapidly sounded out, Hana was stuck on the defensive in fear that if she lashed out too violently she wouldn't be able to protect her son, "You can't keep this up Hana…"

Hana didn't reply, focusing solely on protecting her child… *Clang!* the kunai went flying from her hand and before Shirohi could react blood filled his vision… the sight of his mother clutching her neck as blood squirted out between her fingers forever etched into his mind, the dull thud her body made when it hit the ground, the gurgles that sounded out as she choked on her blood… her eyes slowly losing the spark of life… all of these were carved into Shirohi's mind…

*Guah* Shirohi's head snapped up to find his mothers killer in the same situation, a thin branch piercing his neck… the fear of death in his eyes, Shirohi stared into his eyes watching as he choked on his blood clawing away at his neck trying to stop the blood as the tears ran down his cheeks, Shirohi watched it all up until the moment the figure's lifeless body fell to the ground.

=========================================

As Shirohi stirred awake he cautiously checked the room in fear that his father would lash out, seeing that his father was gone he crawled towards a corner of the room and pulled up a floorboard… He'd finally had enough of being beaten, no longer was that man his father… that man is no better than the monster that killed his mother and Shirohi knew it…

Pulling a rusted kunai from under the floorboard he tucked it into his clothes, the memories of his mother flooding his mind forcing some tears to pool in his eyes… all he could do now was wait, wait until that 'monster' showed his face…

=========================================

An older man dressed in a ceremonial haori with the kanji for fire adorned in his back read over some paperwork, "Mhmm, a boy killed his father and the villagers are contracting shinobi to take him away… Neko, inform Team 12 that I have a C-Rank mission for them."

"Hai, Hokage"

After a few minutes four people came into the room after a knock, "Hiashi, take your team to Yasaki Village."

"Hai, Hokage!" Four voices sounded out near simultaneously.

Tossing the mission scroll over the older man returned to his paperwork praying to whatever god out there that he can finish it today…

=========================================

Shirohi didn't even bother burying the body, only wasting the energy to drag it to the backyard. Once he was finished moving the body he raided the cupboards stuffing whatever food he found into his mouth like a starved animal, moving towards the sink he turned it on practically drowning himself as he gulped down the water only to go back to stuffing his face. Throwing open the fridge door Shirohi repeated the process until his stomach bulged and he felt like throwing up, for the first time since his mother passed his stomachs full… once again memories of his mother flashed through his mind her soft smile filled his body with warmth, and with that warmth he went towards that man's room intent on getting a comfortable rest…

A few days have passed since then, every morning he would look out the window at the rotting corpse. The countless days he had suffered under that man's hands, and now he was finally free… maybe he would become a shinobi, getting himself excited at the thought he instantly sat down and began meditating. He didn't know what he was doing but this was the first thing that came to mind.

Shirohi 'meditated' for nearly an hour before his face scrunched, nothing was happening, he didn't know what he was looking for 'that man' was a normal civilian with next to no chakra or any idea how to access it let alone teach Shirohi.

As the sun began to set a series of knocks resounded on the door, curious as to who it was Shirohi made his way over and opened the door… Shirohi's eyes landed on the man in front, pale white eyes that seemed to penetrate deep into his body on instinct Shirohi jumped back yanking the rusted kunai from his clothes, "Stay back, I don't know who you are but stay back."

Hiashi made a few hand gestures behind his back, informing the 3 genin to stay back while he tried to de-escalate(?) the situation raising his hands in mock surrender as he stepped forward "Shirohi Tensuki?"

Shirohi froze for a moment, but Hiashi continued "Is that the kunai you used to kill your father?" Shirohi's eyes narrowed as he bared his teeth "That monster wasn't my father!"

"Why don't you set that down so we can talk about it?" Shirohi took another step back "Why would I trust a shinobi, you're probably here to kill me just like what happened to my mother."

Hiashi stopped, pointing towards his Hitai-ate "Was the one who killed your mother from the leaf?" Shirohi seemed to concentrate for a moment before he spoke "No—"

*Thud*

Hiashi snapped his head towards one of the genin "Ishita?!" Shaking his head he continued "Nevermind it we will talk about this after we return…"

(A/N: I won't be posting another chapter for some time, this is simply for those of you who are interested to see where this starts.)
