Prologue: The cursed child

Kakashi Hatake, the famed Copy Ninja of Konoha, has seen many horrors in his life. But when he is sent on a mission to investigate a series of mysterious incidents in a remote village on the outskirts of the Land of Fire, he encounters something far more disturbing than any battle he has fought.

The village is gripped by fear, its inhabitants driven to madness one by one. They speak of a curse, a legend passed down for generations-a child with ghostly white hair and crimson eyes who is born every 150 years. This child, they believe, can manipulate the minds of others, driving them to insanity with a mere glance. The villagers have lived in terror, waiting for the cursed child to appear, and now, they are certain she has.
