Minato Fujiwara

On one sunny day, the midday sun cast a large shadows over a mountainous range, bathing trees and other plants in the warm glow.

Walking through the forest silently, a small grey hare took careful steps in its search for food, while it tried its best to blend with the rocks that littered the ground in order to trick any predators.

Sniffing around its surroundings and as if noticing a particular scent, it followed like an obedient slave and searched for about a few minutes before it noticed a rather large red humanoid finger lying under the shade of a couple of grass and rushed towards it with eager eyes.

Normally, a hare wouldn't have been attracted to a meal such as this, however there was just something about that finger that the hare could instinctually feel a calling towards.

Without hesitation, it helped it down in one go, and as it took a couple of steps forward, a couple of dark black tattoos materialized on its face, while a malicious aura slowly built up within its core.

*SWOOSH!*

However right then, a long arrow suddenly ripped through the air and nailed it right in the skull. The tattoos instantly disappeared as quick as it had appeared, before the body of the hare collapsed to the ground in a pool of its own blood.

"Told you it was going to get it this time!!"

A victorious shout echoed, as a handsome young man dressed in a sleeveless kimono and black pants jumped with happiness.

His short silver hair was dirty, his body covered in sweat and grime, however his sea blue gem like eyes were ever glowing and resplendent, as if they carried the hope of many.

He walked happily to the hare, grabbed it by the tail and placed it in a bag that was filled with three other hares and smiled towards the cute little girl by his side.

The little girl stood obediently by the side with an obedient and cute smile.

He quickly turned around, carried her and ruffled her hair while pinching her cheeks much to her annoyance.

"Lets hurry back big brother, mother should be waiting for us by now.."

Being carried on his shoulders, Hanami, the little blonde haired girl pulled on her brother's hair and said.

"Alright, Let's go back before the big tiger comes to eat us!!!.."

Tickling his sister atop his shoulders, Minato instantly hurried out of the forest with his sister Hanami on his shoulders at extraordinary speed that was a impossible for the ordinary human to move at.

.

About 30km before the forest, in an area secluded by trees and a small waterfall, a small dojo stood proudly amidst the cool breeze.

A silver haired beautiful middle aged woman walked out of the dojo holding onto a wooden basket in her hand filled with robes and linen and slowly made her way to the waterfall.

Her body was frail and weak, and every step she took seemed to such the breath out of her lungs. The sleeves of her orange patterned kimono was soaked with sweat, but she persevered and got to the waterfall, before taking a seat on a smooth stone, inhaling deeply and then she started to wash the linen.

After a few moments of vigorous washing, she raised her head only to see a figure dashing towards her with immense speeds.

"Mother!!"

"Mother!"

The two siblings called out to her, in ecstatic joy as Minato rushed up to her and embraced her as she smiled and rubbed his head while caressing Hanami's cheeks.

"Judging from your cheerful mode, I'm guessing you had quite the catch.."

She spoke as the two siblings nodded cheerfully.

"Why don't you go get some firewood from the forest and when I'm done, we can eat hmmm?"

She spoke and gently carried Hanami off Minato's shoulders, before continuing her washing, while Minato rushed into the dojo picked up an axe and then rushed into the woods.

.

After a few more minutes, he came back with a couple of chopped wood, placed them into a hearth and lit up a fire, before proceeding to deskin the catch and then skewer them, spice them up and place them on the fire.

A few hours later, the whole family sat within the dojo eating heartily and cheerfully.

"Uuhhh..."

Picking up a piece of meat with his chopsticks, Minato gestured to Hanami, wanting to feed her, however the little girl scrunched her brows in distaste and harrumphed before returning to eating her meal.

Simply chuckling, Minato raised the piece of meat and moved it towards his mouth, and right as he was about to eat it, he frowned and examined the seemingly contorted lean red meat that looked different compared to the others.

Sniffing to detect any issues with his food, he shrugged after realizing nothing was wrong with it and simply placed it in his mouth and munched away.

*WHOOSH...*

Right in that moment, a subtle chill wind blew across the room, carrying with it an aura of evil and malice, which instantly ceased in a moment, while a set of dark black tattoos instantly materialized on Minato's face and arms before vanishing in a split second, fast enough that no one had witnessed the sudden change.

Without much understanding of the life changing moment the family had just experienced, they continued eating without much worry.

.

Within a dream like dimension, a thick sea of blood seemingly encompassed the entirety of the area, and right in the middle of the sea, was a shrine that seemed to emanate the very essence of evil itself.

Deep within the shrine, a large throne constructed from the skulls of dozens of figures, a man sat in a relaxed pose and his legs crossed with an amused smile on his face.

His appearance was akin to Minato, except, his face and arms were covered in black intricately designed tattoos and he wore a black and white sleeveless kimono.

He grinned in the next moment, revealing a set of white pearly teeth with razor sharp canines and he stretched forth a finger and opened his mouth for a word, but right then the scene seemed to change, as the fabric of reality seemed to twist itself.

In the second dimension, a four armed devil covered in similar tattoos fought singlehandedly against a large group of humans and humanoid or animal like creatures.

It was now of a full blown massacre, with the four armed four eyed devil killing and cleaving through everything in its path with unstoppable momentum. The blood from his enemies seemed to flow together to form a mighty ocean.

Suddenly, he halted in his path and turned around before opening his mouth, and right as he was about to speak a word, reality seemed to shift once more, as Minato suddenly woke up with a headache and his entire body soaked in sweat.

*ARGHHHH!*

Trying to comprehend what he had just witnessed, he took a few deep breaths but was suddenly interrrupted by a shrill scream, as the smell of blood in the room became even more apparent to him.

Without wasting a second, he rushed out without hesitation at full speed, and when he got to the source of the scream, his pupils widened in shock as he took a step back in fear, while blood splashed across his face.
