Denkou Heir Training

Takahiro returned to his quarters after sitting in on a discussion with upper branch members on the state of the war and apparently land dispution claims ever since the Dobutsu had attacked Paradox. Like most civilians and Shinobi the main force had been temporarily moved to Dipugakure for their safety. However, the accomadations provided by the Allied Shinobi Nations were not to the standards of some of the minor main branch elders causing quite a bit of complaints to come to Takahiro's father. Because he was the current heir of the main branch Takahiro had to sit in on the boring discussion. If his brother was still around then Takahiro wouldnt have to and could probably have been playing with his brother once the talks were over rather than retiring to his room.

However, Takahiro's brother had been murdered. Takahiro did not know the details but he had been told one of their own, a woman named Xing, had been persuaded by the Mishura clan to betray the Denkou and attempt a coup. But his brother had intervened and died buying time for help to arrive their family. Having sat in on a few meetings he had heard that Xing and the Mishura have now allied with the Allied Shinobi Nation's enemy, the Shogunate and have claimed a high position in the military ranking while the Denkou barely hand a standing here in the shinobi nations. It was thanks to his father that they had any standing at all, being the previous Sannin of Ibaragakure. But even that got them only so far after the Dobutsu had taken the land. It was now up to Takahiro to become the new face of the Denkou clan and provide status among the nation.

A lot of pressure had been pushed on the young Takahiro ever since his big brother's death. Not only did he need to become the new face of the Denkou and learn the ins and outs of the clan politics, but it was also hid duty to hunt down Xing and take revenge for his brother. Plus he had to deal with the clan enemies, the Mishura who had rose to power far above that of the Denkou. He had to get the clan's power stronger and then show that the Denkou are those destined to reclaim the old lost power of the Sharingan. However, he wasn't entirely sure how he was supposed to recover the lost power of a nearly thousand year old Dojutsu. Almost all of the knowledge on it was based in myth and any old signs of its origination were either destroyed or in Dobutsu territory. What was he supposed to do?

Takahiro had heard that the Dobutsu had dissolved do to inner conflicts among the different tribes and that they were no longer organized allowing for their areas to be claimed. He had also heard rumors of a possible alliance or ceasefire with the Shogunate, something that could be good for the Allied Shinobi Nations but brought disgust to the Denkou clan due to the Shogunate being the home of the Mishura. One thing he was glad about was that the ancient Mishura, Tikatchi, had left the Allied Shinobi Nations but it just showed more that the Mishura cared not for their national loyalties and were nothing but cold blooded traitors. The fact that the Mishura and Denkou even shared a village ages ago was almost unbelievable to Takahiro. He didnt understand how the two could live together without coming to repeated blows. Or that the fire prone Mishura didnt accidentally set fire to the Land of Forsaken with their clumsiness. They didnt belong there. The Land of Forsaken was known as the Lightning Country for a reason. Not the Fire Country or the Mental Country.

Rumor was that the original family of the long lost Sharingan had utilized Fire and Lightning, but those who favored fire over lightning within the clan had betrayed it and nearly wiped it out. If not for the Hero of Lightning the clan would not have continued to what it is now. But if not for the villianous Fire user the clan would not have became diluted and the Denkou would have been the true wielders of the ancient Sharingan. Though there were stories that also say that the Land of Fire had betrayed the clan as well. But Takahiro didnt understand how that could have caused the split between the Sharingan clan. There was also a story passed down that the Lightning Country used to be the old Land of Fire hidden within the leaves. But many didnt believe it. Some believe the Hero of Lightning had discovered the Land of Lightning himself and grew it into a mighty force alone. Others say he and an old friend of his had protected the lands and ushered in a new age. Takahiro wasnt sure which story was true but all of them had something in common. The mention of the Hero of Lightning, the Sharingan and that the original land where the ancient Sharingan had been born was one filled with forests. There was no doubt in Takahiro's mind that the Denkou would one day inherit the ancient Sharingan.

But  could he really succeed in such a tremendous task that no Denkou or Mishura had ever been able to succeed at?Takahiro wasnt entirely sure if it was possible. He was only one person and he wasnt even a Genin yet. The rumor was the Mishura had even discovered a new form of their own Dojutsu's evolution. But that kind of made Takahiro think. The Mishura had discovered a new evolution to their eye just as the legendary Kugeki had discovered the form of the Kami Raidengan. All had to deal with transplanting the other Dojutsu of the clan into the eye. So... What if the Denkou and Mishura mixed both eyes? Would that solve the mystery of the Sharingan? If so then the story that the Mishura and the Denkou had come from the same originating point, something no one from either clan wanted to believe was true as each believed they were the rightful descendants. But what if it was true? Could the secret of the ancient Sharingan really be hidden between the hatred of the two clans? Or could the rumor the Sharingan would only appear to the final standing clan once the other was eliminated? Hate or Union? Did they need to prove one was better or were they both equal? Takahiro contemplated this as he layed on his bed but soon sleep overtook him and all his thoughts disappeared into dreams.

Approved but, future reference, the Sharingan, all mention of it was wiped out entirely and it is lost to history as a result any time you want to reference it refer to it as the Kaleidoscope Eye.

(Oh ok. Thank you)
