After the safe room where she and her classmates had been hiding was ransaked during a raid her brother was missing. Now that the enemy had passed They sent search parties to find him.

This was one of the worst raids in the village history. This was no hit-and-run, no. In this full on attack. enemies had taken hostages and tortured them for information. Mitsumi had so far seen the mutilated bodies of six people none of them she knew, but that didn't make it any less gruesome. One had had all of its limbs torn of and burned. The body was recognizable only because the victim's right hand that harbored a distinctive ring.

"Mitsumi are you sure you want to continue?" One of the shinobi asked. Mitsumi drew a shaky breath.

"I have to find my brother." She said as they closed the door behind them.

"This one is alive," Someone said. Like they needed verification, the screams were evidence enough. Slowly Mitsumi opened her eyes. She gasped.

"K-Kurai!" She yelled and rushed to him sobbing. He was strapped down to a table. A bloody knife lay beside him. Words were carved into his flesh.

NO LIFE FOR THE WEAK.

The female medical ninja began performing medical ninjutsu. Blood everywhere, you could smell it.

"Mitsumi?" Kurai said, weakly, as though all the pain had sapped his strength.

Mitsumi's eyes teared up.

"I want you to promise me something." He motioned for her to bend down. She did and heard his last request.
