Change of Fate

Prelude Tengen Uzui

While the Demon Slayer Corps were at war with the demons, another faction has appeared. The Shinobi, a group that moves in the shadows. They were never ally nor enemy to anyone. But there were many factions. Around the time of the Edo Era, the Shinobi were wiped out. Or so all of Japan thought.

As the centuries go by, a small clan of Shinobi stayed hidden from the world staying alive, the Uzui Clan. Reaching the Taisho Era, the family strived of nine children, with the oldest being named Tengen who has reached his father's expectations. He has completely mastered the way of the Shinobi when he turned 12, being his father's greatest weapon.

As he reached the coming age of 15, Tengen was approached by his father and three women.

Tengen's father: As you are aware my son, now you are to be married to three women to ensure your linage. Now then, you two, approach my son.

Two women stood up and walked towards Tengen. One was wearing lavender clothing who had her hair in a ponytail, and the other who has the same clothing that was red and had black hair with golden bangs.

Tengen's father: These two have agreed to an arranged marriage to you. They shall serve you well.

Tengen viewed the two.

Tengen: What are your names?

??: My name's Hinatsuru. We shall follow you.

??: I'm Makio. I will follow every order. Even if it means death.

After hearing that last comment, Tengen was feeling concerned about this. Then he looked over to the small girl who looked very shy with a blue shinobi dress.

Tengen: Father, you said I'm suppose to marry three wives. And yet these two are arranged. So what about her?

Tengen's father: She volunteered out of her own free will. When I announced that she would be one of the candidates, she spoke out. She felt the most excited to getting married for some reason.

Tengen: (I think I can guess what one of those reasons are.)

He then faced the girl.

Tengen: So, then your name?

??: I am Suma! I couldn't be happier to marry a man like you!

As he grew up, his father forced his children to kill each their, as they have their heads and faced covered so they wouldn't know their opponent was. By the time Tengen learned the truth it was tragically too late. The only ones left standing were him and his younger brother. Looking in his eye, he saw nothing but his father's teachings. He taught them that killing innocent lives would keep the clan safe and provided offspring to keep his methods alive. Shocked by this, Tengen was furious at his father for his betrayal but couldn't find it in him to kill either of them. Instead, he and his wives left the village, seeing how far down the Shinobi have gone.

??: So, you wish to save lives do you not?

After many days of travelling, Tengen and his wives found the mansion of Kagaya Ubuyashiki who leads the demon Slayer Corps.

Tengen: Yes. I've found a village slaughtered by unknown causes. We wish to put our abilities into protecting civilians.

Kagaya: Then participate in Final Selection and come see me again when you feel ready.

After meeting him, Tengen participated in Final Selection and survived of course, earning him the title of demon slayer and his Nichirin Blades.
