Chap-1 UCHIHA

"Ninshu shall unite humanity"

Those were the last words of Hagoromo Otsutsuki, The Sage of Six Paths, The Creator.

Since the beginning of time the human race had embroiled itself in conflicts of power, greed and ambition. It was a cycle of never ending violence that was supposed to end when The Sage taught humans the power of chakra. With that gift, he had wished to give peace yet humans have an uncanny habit of destroying themselves on their
own.

The chakra that was supposed to unite became the catalyst for even greater violence between the Sage's two sons, Indra and Ashura. If only Hagoromo had understood humanity's fault lay in its twisted emotions and granting them power would only embolden them.

A proof of that claim itself was the conflict between the Sage's sons which began over a simple matter of succession.

Power.

The Sage who taught the world the importance of peace couldn't teach his own sons the same values.

And that was the beginning of a massacre that went on for centuries.

A massacre that still happened every day.

Chakra was weaponized by the Sage's elder son, Indra. Being the first born and more powerful among his father's sons, he considered it his lawful right to succeed his father. But the Sage chose the younger brother and divided the brothers forever.

Ashura, the younger brother loved his brother but was a dutiful son of his father. He tried to make peace, but the Sage insisted that Ashura be his successor.

It divided the world.

Those who believed in Indra and his lawful right pledged their families to him.

And those who truly loved the Sage above all pledged their loyalty to Ashura.

And that started...

The Infinite War.

As time passed, both brothers fought against each other with their respective supporters transforming their families into various ninja clans.

The Uchiha and The Senju.

Two opposite factions rose that battled against each other over the centuries long after the death of Indra and Ashura.

The conflict became less a matter of rightful succession or fulfilling the Sage's wish, but a matter of establishing dominance, pride and revenge. Peace never came for the various noble clans following these two houses had their own agenda and always continued to encourage war.

Various powerful individuals, groups, nations started hiring these two factions for their own selfish motives.

The Clan Wars Era.

This was the name of the current conflict going on between the two factions. When the war between Indra and Ashura had first started, most of the world had expected the elder son's faction to win for he was more powerful and talented than his brother and his supporters.

But the Senju's proved more resilient and intelligent than their elder siblings for they secured alliances of several other factions to their cause with co-operation, marriage, money and other benefits.

While the Uchiha despite being the more powerful in combat had one fatal flaw which they continued to inherit from their founder, Indra.

Superiority.

Following in Indra's footsteps and ideology, the Uchiha continued to believe in their skill, prowess and sharingan.

Fire Bearers were they called, rumored to be descendants of dragons, ones destined either for unimaginable greatness or sheer madness.

The Uchiha's didn't form many alliances unlike the Senju believing the inferior and smaller clans owed their loyalty to Indra and his successors, that it was their duty to bow to their superiors. It led to their isolation but despite that they continued to survive and fight for their Sharingan prowess had no equal.

Yet as the centuries passed and the conflicts increased, the Uchiha's started to lose. Their power started to dwindle with more and more clans joining the Senju which only served to fuel the anger among the Uchiha's.

In their mad quest for power, they established the practice of clan members wedding their siblings or cousins to keep their bloodline pure. To prevent outsider blood from corrupting their future generations.

So worse became their madness that any clan member wedding outside the clan was killed alongwith any children of theirs.

Instead of killing their enemies, the Uchiha's started killing themselves.

The Senju's used this advantage to fully destroy the Uchiha to such extent that they were no longer worthy of being equal of the Senju's in power and dominance. The proud descendants of Indra continued to dwindle until another catastrophe struck them.

The Sharingan Vanished.

It came as the worst devastation upon the warriors who prided themselves on their powerful eyes. Many researchers and doctors suggested inter-clan marriage the reason behind this phenomenon, others suggested the Uchiha's were simply weakened alongwith many different reasons.

Whatever the true reason, it didn't change the fact that the Sharingan was gone and nothing the Uchiha's did managed to restart their prized dojutsu among their clan members.

Another century passed and the Uchiha's fall continued to become worse and worse.

It became clear to all...

The House of Dragon was dying.
