Prologue

Long before ninjas gained powers of jutsus, they fought endless wars between different clans with brute force. The main reason why the war started was for more power and control. The war continues for so long, that peace seemed nothing more than a pure fantasy. One night the moon shined so brightly and so beautifully that it would cover an entire village. On that night, a lovely Queen was giving birth to an heir. However, the labor was very fatal due to the Queen's illness.

Just as things were looking very grim, the beam of the full moon shined on the dying Queen as she gave birth to a beautiful princess. As she finished the labor, her illness miraculously disappeared. It was all thanks to the magic of the moon, but some say that it was all thanks to the baby princess. Indeed her beauty is to behold but her appearance was unusual.

While the Emperor and the Queen both have dark hair and eyes, the princess had white hair and beautiful silver eyes. Her skin were as pale as the moon, yet her lips were the full color of pale rose. There was a conspiracy that the Queen may had an affair with another man, but she was known to be completely faithful to her husband. It was concluded that the baby princess was a special gift from the moon itself.

The Emperor and the Queen gave the child a beautiful name, a name that symbolize and mean the moon. Her name was Princess Tsukiyo.

Like most princesses, Tsukiyo grew up in a luxurious temple. And, of course, she was raised to act like a princess as well, meaning that she must behave like she was higher than anyone. But regardless to her status, she has learned the reality of the world such as slavery and hardships. She even learned about the harsh reality of war. It broke her heart to know such knowledge in an early age. While most children wanted to play and pay no mind to the real world, Tsukiyo wanted nothing more than for war to end. However, seeing how war continues to wage on, even she loses hope for peace. Indeed, she was a very strange child, but her heart was always at the right place.

As the princess grew older, she realized that she was neither like any other people nor her parents. It made Tsukiyo very sad and alone. She didn't know anybody who felt the same. Those who knew of her kept their distance from her, for they were afraid of strange new things. Princess Tsukiyo, though grief at the thought of loneliness, respected their feelings and never showed herself in public.

One day her father came back from an intense battle with fatal wounds. The doctors did everything they could to stop the bleeding, but the wounds were too deep to save the Emperor.

Just when everyone was mourning and saying their good bye to their Emperor, Princess Tsukiyo aided to his and wept on his chest where the wound was. Out of nowhere, she began to sing a sweet lullaby to soothe the agony of his journey to the afterlife. That is when a miracle was born.

"Moonlight hear me cry
Hear me plea with sorrow
Ease my pain of cry
Let me smile
So I can shine with glee and love
Return the light that once was mine"

Tsukiyo's tears shined brightly from the moon and it healed her father's wounds. It was as if he was never scarred from a battle. The Emperor was a new man, and Tsukiyo was the new savior.

Princess Tsukiyo was the first healer and mother of magic.

The loneliness and sadness lingered in the princess's heart no more. People had grown to love her. She was pleased that she had discovered the power to help people. She planned to use this gifted power to end the wars once and for all. Peace was slowly becoming a reality than a fantasy. Hope was very close, and she would grasp it when she finally reached for it.

Unfortunately her father had other plans to bring peace to this world. He would use his daughter's power to win the war and rule the world one day.

Princess Tsukiyo pleaded her father to reconsider the plan, but he was too consumed with greed and power. Because of Tsukiyo's defiance, he locked her within a sacred shrine and he would not release her until she agrees to bid her father's will. Tsukiyo wept for days inside the shrine. Her tears filled the room that soon became a pool. Even then, she still continued to cry for the sadness and loneliness that returned to her heart.

After such a long time being trapped in the shrine, she was released by another princess named Kaguya Ootsutski. She heard Tsukiyo's cries and released her. Like Tsukiyo, Kaguya also had incredible powers. However, she had gained powers from eating a fruit from the God tree. Tsukiyo learned that Kaguya had the same dream, to end the war and bring peace.

The two princess decided to work together to stop the war and soon they succeeded. Their dreams were finally coming true.

Kaguya grew to love Tsukiyo so much, that she soon claimed her as a daughter. She introduced her two sons, Hagoromo and Haruma Ootsutski. She suggested that she should marry one of her sons to become a happy family, but Tsukiyo kindly refused the offer. It was true that the two brothers were incredibly powerful and handsome, but she only viewed them as close friends. While she did loved Kaguya in return, she noticed a horrible change in her beloved friend.

Kaguya Ootsutski had grown hungry for more power. People had grown to fear her than love her. They even began to call her a demon. Tsukiyo would reason with her to ease her hunger for power. Tsukiyo's act of love and kindness had grown to love and even worship her so much, Kaguya became jealous of her. Because of that jealousy, the bonds had broken and the two became bitter rivals, leaving Tsukiyo heartbroken once again.

After some time of conflict, before Kaguya was going to kill Tsukiyo, Haruma and Hagoromo stopped their mother and fought the ten tail beast called Juubi. After a long difficult battle, Kaguya Ootsutski was sealed away with a strong sealing jutsu.

Tsukiyo and the Ootsutski men wondered what they were going to do with Juubi. Hagoromo suggested splitting the beast into nine tailed beasts and sealing Juubi to the moon. However, they knew that the seal might not be strong enough to hold Juubi. So they split the beast in two and sealed one to the moon, and the other half inside a magical box that contained evil and darkness. She prayed to the moon for a guardian of the box. The moon answered her by giving her a daughter named Hikari, symbolizing the light that shines through darkness.

Hikari was born from the stars, thanks to the power of the moon. Hikari was a well known beauty from all over the country. Even the sons of Hagoromo, Ashura and Indra, noticed Hikari's beauty. Indra was the eldest son and was considered a skilled fighter and strategist, while Ashura was the youngest and weaker than his brother and only manages to succeed battles with only help from others. Hikari enjoyed the company of Ashura and Indra, even though they sometimes competed to win her affection. She valued them so much as close friends.

Her long wavy raven hair flowed graciously down below her waist and was decorated in beads of lights that looked as if someone was staring into the night sky. Like her mother, her eyes were a beautiful shade of silver and her skin pale as the moon. Her lips were full and colorful that was made to be kissed.

Tsukiyo's daughter accepted the task to guard the box that Juubi dwelled within. Her mother explained that it contained pure darkness and it must never be opened.

Like most children, curiosity got the best of her and opened the box to see what was inside. Because the box was opened, darkness escaped from the box and corrupted mankind's heart. Hikari panicked of what she had done. She had caused another war. She even caused Indra's heart to be corrupted by darkness.

Indra had become jealous and outraged that his father had chosen his younger brother to carry on the dream of peace for the world. He did not accept that and it sickened him to the core, but he was truly determined to take Hikari as his wife no matter what the cause.

Having the guilt of her release of darkness, she refused Indra's proposal in marriage. Believing that she was in love with Ashura, his anger and jealousy had risen to the point where he wanted his younger brother dead at his feet.

The battle raged on, and Hikari could no longer bear the burden of guilt, so she begged Indra to spare his brother and end the battle. To make her happy, he would spare Ashura if she would agree to marry him. To make amends, she agreed and married Indra. But even marriage didn't bury his hatred toward Ashura, leading him to continue the battle. He would do anything to claim his father's will. Hikari could do nothing but watch as the two brothers clashed one another.

Soon the two brothers became nothing more than chakras that lingered to their descendants.

Hikari cried to her mother and pleaded to be sealed inside the box with Juubi, so she could be sure that no more darkness shall leak into the world. Tsukiyo reluctantly agreed and sealed her daughter inside the box and locked it away underneath the shrine that her mother were once locked away.

Tsukiyo had enough dealing with her heartache, so she decided to leave this world and become one with the moon. However, she still had hope for humanity, so she left her chakra behind for her descendants of Tsukiyo to carry on her will of peace. When she left, she sang the lullaby that she sang to her father when she was upset.

That…was how the Tsukiyo clan was formed.
