Something's wrong in this place-it feels different than yesterday.
In 2009, at children's garden orphanage, 8 year-old Kurosawa Daigo looked at the decreasing amount of caretakes and children alike in the playground, as the playground fell into darkness.
Why is no one noticing this, Everyone is slowly disappearing. As the shadows of the building, trees and people seemed to grow eerily warped like something warping space itself. As the child's purple eyes widened at seeing everyone getting eaten by the shadows.
Daigo remembered his ordinary life on earth, where he lived previously. He tried again and again to remember his past, his parents, his friends but nothing came to his mind. He knew, He had people precious to him back on earth. But he didn't know how he died or why. But he knew, He had died early in life.
HIs first memory of this world was opening his eyes. In this orphanage and as far as his memory could take his it was all about this orphanage and the adults, children inside it.
He did know he was special because he could feel this energy inside and around him. Which he couldn't even use at will he only used it when in anger or desperation. With that he could figure it out that the energy was connected to his emotions. But no matter what he did from meditation to yoga still, He could not control the energy, But did start to feel it better, Even after that he hit a wall in progress. He tried calling on the memories of his previous life, The little he could remember was hazy and dream like.
He had thought this world to be safe maybe he was the only one with this special energy but today he came to a disturbing realization. What he thought to be a parallel earth was a completely different world from it. HIs subconscious had realized it a long time ago. The main evidence being the energy inside him but he still denied the truth.
He just wanted the peaceful life at the orphanage. The rare times he could use the energy inside him made him do feats no child of his age could do. It made him different and powerful. He wanted to chase the feeling of controlling his birth right the energy inside him using the energy inside him felt like sitting down after standing for his whole life. The energy was purple with hints of black in color. The first time he accidently used it, he felt a heavy pressure in his eyes and was completely overwhelmed as he looked around he could see something flowing in the air, after he looked at a Aiko-ane, He could see the same energy as him just hers was concentrated in her belly. Slowly leaking into the air, focusing more he could see a white orb with white light surrounding it in where her heart was and a transparent outline of her whole body. After sometime the pressure in his eyes increased greatly looking for a mirror he noticed his eyes had changed into a deep purple with ripple like rings in it.
After looking at his eyes only one world came to his mind, Rinnegan, HE didn't know where and when he heard the word but he just did.
The third time he had accessed this power he had started to see ghost like figured at the edge of his vision but he didn't need to see them he could already sense them all-around when his eyes were active but they weren't ghost from movies being much grotesque then them some had too many eyes some with multiple faces, Whatever reality had conjured up was much eerier than fiction thankfully he over all the 5 or so times he had activated his eyes. Daigo had only encountered 3 of them.
He understood after seeing a fly like insect with a human face on a couples back that only he could see these creatures.
Now after standing there unmoving at the warped and pitch-black orphanage in front of him he realized something different and much stronger had appeared and had taken the area over like expanding it own essence into the surroundings like it own domain.
As his emotions boiled over fear, frustration, anger and rage.
He asked himself why am i so weak, weak enough to be trampled over, weak enough to be overlooked and crushed.
He did not make any excuse of not being ready as he knew if he had woken up to reality as it was he would not be this helpless.
Even after all that he did not give up focusing on the very emotions guiding his thoughts. Channeling them as a guide for the energy within himself as his purple pupils converged inwards finally expanding into the purple-ripple pattern eyes of the rinnegan and finally in the certainty of death Kurosawa Daigo awakened.
As the already worn shell on his cursed energy cracked and shattered Daigo felt the rush of his life finally achieving a goal he had set for years.
With the rinnegan's help his control over cursed energy similar to the six eyes was already flawless guiding the energy through his body he felt as it reached every piece of his flesh, muscles and bones and strengthened them as much it could for a child. he sensed one of those flyheads behind him slapping it aside he say in slow-motion as it's body got crushed and and wisped into smoke of cursed energy.
He rushed towards where he could sense the greater presence. excitement rushing throw his head and his heart pumping in his ears. He reached the spirit and saw that it was half as tall as the orphanage with 4 skulls with hollow eyes facing each direction and most of its body covered in eyed with fleshy black tendrils in place for shoulders it had no legs just a mass of black.
CLOSE BY
"Mm-Hmm, got it. Don't forget the bonus payment this cursed womb is already grade 1 maybe even special grade anyway I'll notify you if anything happens gojo. That's all."
A blue Haired woman with a sharp gaze and graceful figure stood a distance from the orphanage. Her eyes shimmered as she looked at the dense aura surrounding the building.
There was no hesitation in her face. Only impassiveness.
"Emerge from darkness, blacker than darkness, purify which is impure. As a black miasmic curtain like barrier fell over the orphanage shielding it from the eyes of civilians and she steeped inside with no resistance from the barrier."

As Daigo engaged the cursed spirit by dodging the tentacles with the help of his eyes help of his eyes he knew wasn't fast enough to get close enough to hit the cursed spirit and get out without being hit. He took a gamble rushing in dodging two tentacles and twisting out of the third he landed a cursed energy coated punch on the lower torso of it knocking it away a little bit but doing no significant damage. He could see and sense its cursed energy condensing on the skull facing him but his body couldn't move fast enough to dodge it as the ball of yellowish cursed energy left from its skull. He already saw the trajectory and knew he had no way to dodge it at that point staring death in its face. By instinct alone he whispered two words.
SHINRA TENSEI
The gravitational force pushing outwards like the will of the world itself easily tore through the ball of cursed energy and continued on and hit the curse get rag dolling it away guided on the flow of instinct he pulled his right elbow back and bent it for a underhand punch and reaching out with his left hand and chanting. BANSHO TENIN, with a magnetic property the curse froze in the air for a second then started being attracted toward Daigo's outstretched hand as he lowered his left hand and threw the underhand from his left just as he connected black sparks flew from his fist. His first ever black flash hit minutes after awakening cursed energy.
The curses body couldn't take the force of a black flash tearing apart and floating into black particles of cursed energy

"It was this scene that Mei-Mei saw just as she entered the orphanage. She stood in shock seeing a child only 8 year-old exorcise a grade 1 curse. She also noticed the strange ripple like eyes the boy had as a experienced sorcerer she could sense that the boy had only just awakened his cursed energy otherwise. He would have been sensed by the curtain or the window before."
Daigo was exhilarated the black lightning that came out of his fist made him go into a zone of focus like no other and his control and responsiveness over cursed energy increased even more he felt that now he could use the energy within him without even a thought, just by intent his cursed energy was at his beck and call. As the darkness faded he saw everyone from the orphanage lying on the ground unconscious. As the rush of energy ended his body couldn't take it anymore and he collapsed onto his knees.
HIs Right arm throbbed with pain, All that energy pushed through took it's toll.
Then-footsteps
Tap-Tap-Tap
he looked up left hand on the ground ready to get up and alert already. From the right side a figure approached a tall woman with blue hair. The black uniform hugging her frame somewhat tight. but he calmed down seeing as, She was not a curse and exhaled in relief.
After a proper look at her something about her seemed familiar.
The woman approached with disbelief on her face and a curious look in her eyes.
Reaching hearing distance she said you can call me Mei-Mei," she said softly. Her voice was confident and somewhat commanding. Before asking why are you here child and what's you're name.
