Hidden deep within the forgotten ruins of the Land of Hot Water lies the last known survivor of the once-feared Chinoike Clan—a boy born with the cursed power of the Ketsuryugan. Pushed by the remaining elders to escape their desolate prison, he journeys to Konohagakure not to seek peace—but strength.

Adopted reluctantly under the Third Hokage’s watch, he enters the village as a mystery: masked, cold, and distant. Despite being just above Genin level, his mastery over genjutsu and blood manipulation sets him apart from the other rookies. But his power is not absolute—haunted by his past, his clan’s reputation, and his own fear of becoming a monster, he struggles to find purpose beyond vengeance.

As war clouds gather and darkness stirs in the shadows of the ninja world, he forges bonds he never expected—with comrades, mentors, and rivals. But every step forward brings him closer to a question he cannot ignore:

Is strength enough to save a forgotten clan, or will the village brand him a threat—just like before?
