(A/N: So, I'm currently experiencing writer's block, so as I don't want to write some bs and ruin my already not so good plot, I decided to make a chap about something no one asked for)

Somewhere in the elemental nations

A bulky man with white hair swung his sword down, before taking a deep breath and saying

"Ichiryu: Soaring dragon!" He then jumped as he made an upward swing with his sword, falling back to the ground shortly after

He looked at his son, expecting at least some interest, but he was immediately disappointed

"Sigh... Hidan, why are you not paying attention? that is our family's special kenjutsu technique..." He said while sighing

"*Yawn* Old man, you know what I think about swords, those nicknamed techniques are just glorified slashes, nothing more... boring" The teen answered with a completely uninterested look on his face

And let's be honest... wrong he wasn't

"They are NOT just slashes, our techniques came from the ancestor blah blah blah..." Midway through the sentence, Hidan stopped paying any sort of attention to whatever the man was saying

He just didn't feel anything special about the swords like his father said he should, for him those blades are just as grey as the world around him, completely uninteresting

'...' His mind was completely empty as he looked at his father blabbering about something he didn't care to listen to

Many people in the elemental nations think that the historical records of things like demons, dragons, the sage of six paths, and such are just that... legends, myths that never happened

But what most don't know, is that all of the above, actually wasn't just a myth, they actually existed

Dragons lived on this world even before the said sage of six paths dreamed of being born, demons existed for as long as the universe did

Even demonic dragons existed at some point, but now those beings that brought fear and despair to the world, are nothing but a story some people tell their kids

Albeit prideful, the dragons never cared about this, they felt it was beneath them to care about what puny humans thought of them

But the demons... they never wanted that, and they tried to break free from their seals more than once

Moryo tried it, but he failed spectacularly at this, being freed from one seal just to fall into another one

Another such demon that manage to break out of their seal was the reaper

He was something akin o a primordial demon, having existed for as long as the universe

but contrary to what one may think, he didn't control the life and death cycle, he was just a gatekeeper

But in between the demons, asides from the primordial ones who migrated to words with mana or magicules, there was ONE demon that loved nothing but massacre

and thus, he went to the only world without any special energy, that is, until some aliens planted a BIG tree on the planet, and bam, before he knew it, there was an energy all around the planet

Chakra they called it... this stupid energy made people a lot less likely to die, and since he fed on massacre, his powers got so low he almost vanished

But who would have thought that new wars would break out right at the right time, keeping him alive, but those wars never took too long, and after great battles, they seemed to take way too long to happen again

And thus, said demon decided that he needed someone... someone to make massacres everywhere, all the time

he needed a subordinate...

counterintuitive to his nature of massacring everyone, but it was needed for now

No one knows who made the seal on those demons, but he never resented that

as long as he could create carnage, he never cared about anything more

and to such a being, it wasn't hard to evolve to a true demon lord

That is how Jashin, the king of massacre decided to find a subordinate, out of sheer necessity

-=-

Hidan was brought by his father to a duel

the son of his father's best friend, the kid was supposedly a sword prodigy, capable of mastering all the sword arts and whatnot

the intention of the man was clear, make his son taste defeat so he would take their kenjutsu more seriously

but he was bound to be surprised...

Showing unparalleled harshness, and a very aggressive slashing style that had neither form nor flaws, Hidan easily defeated the 'Prodigy'

"That was it?" He asked, surprised that his opponent was already on the ground

And those words cut deep into the pride of figurant A, who we won't even give the grace of a name as he is not important

Time passed quickly, that White-haired brat turned into a man in what seemed like a blink of an eye

Now, married and with a son of his own he lived a beautiful lif-NOT

After being forced into a marriage, having a kid he didn't want, that plain grey world seemed even more boring nowadays

What a stupid family tradition, what stupid swords or whatnot, he even missed that now

It was just so... boring... empty.,. colorless on the entire world

That is, Until one day

Figurant A, who we still won't give a name, decided that he would avenge the humiliating defeat of yeara ago

Talk about holding grudges... sheesh

And as such, using all his flashy sword skills he killed Hidan's family in front of him, wanting to see the man who humiliated him suffer

However... instead of suffering, a maniacal smile appeared on Hidan's face

the grey world he always saw finally had a color on it... Red... Blood red

A gruesome fight that took Figurant A's left arm, was the end of Hidan's life... or at least, that is what it seemed

You see, normally Neither people have contact with demons, neither the other way around, that was impossible

But, a certain clan managed to harness the power of demons, and albeit that had problems on its own, that did prove that they COULD contact each other

And that is what happened

As soon as Hidan felt his eyelids get too heavy, he saw a big red Oni face appear on his mind

-=-

Figurant A breathed heavily as he looked at the man in front of him with an angry glare

"I killed you, you shouldn't be alive!" He said with an anger-filled voice

"Bahahaha, indeed, you did. Yet here I am!" Hidan laughed out loud as he used his sword to slash madly at the man

(That's before he got his scythe)

Having seen that his attacks did little to nothing on Hidan, Figurant A gritted his teeth in anger

"So what? you manage to avenge your family in the end, huh? THAT'S NOT GOING TO BRING THEM BACK YOU IDIOT!" Having almost succumbed to his fate, the man tried to make himself the winner even as he was about to die

unfortunately for him, Hidan's next words made him widen his eyes

"Avenge? Haha hahahaha HAHAHAHAAHAHA!

Oh man, that's a good one, I must agree...

ahhh, avenge haha, man..." Hidan laughed out loud as he thought of that as a joke

Figurant A was stunned, but before he could understand anything, he asked almost instinctively

"If... If you are not here for revenge.... then... why are you here?" As Hidan heard that question he frowned

"What?

I am obviously here to thank you, for giving my boring life a whole new meaning!" Hidan said as a twisted smile made its way to his face

"Thank me?" Figurant A's eyes shone with hope, maybe Hidan would let him live after all?

"Yes... and what better way to thank you than sacrificing you to Jashin Sama? hahaha" Hidan laughed out loud as he made a circle with a triangle on it with his opponent's blood

"Ja-Jashin?" Confused he asked, but before he said anything more, Hidan slashed his own throat, surprising the man

but before he voice his surprise out, his own throat was ripped open, just like Hidan's

His eyes widened and his pupils contracted to inhuman levels, feeling death approach despair took over him, and so he tried a last attack on Hidan

Hidan grinned with satisfaction as he saw his handy work, he took his sword and said

"Ichiryu: Soaring lizard or something!"

Slashing the man, he felt a really hard resistance of his bones

*Crack*

*Plof*

Hidan looked at the sword broken in his hand and shrugged

"Yes, Swords are still not my thing... I need a new weapon..." He mused

Meanwhile, a man with a very dark aura looked at the fight from somewhere far far away as he laughed

"Kahahaha! this kid!" He grinned madly as he looked at the image of Hidan grinning as madly as him

it seems that he found a gem, the perfect subordinate to bring his power back

now he just had to wait, when Hidan killed 10000 people and sacrificed their souls to him, he would be able to finally have his full power back

And when that happens... it will be time for a new massacre

"KAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHA~" he laughed madly as he saw Hidan kill the man with a ritual, feeling the soul of the man now being turned into pure power inside of himself, Jashin felt that his time was near
