The History

--The history of it's origin is unknown. For in the past, the years unclear, a weapon was forged; a weapon that was forged through love and lust, the lust of power. The weapon was forged of a loving pair of shinobi who like most shinobi had humble origin. Aspiring to become great, their paths lead them stray from their villages and into outcasts. Blood, pillaging and war were common occurrences for the pair. No matter the outcome they were always together through the thick of war. The dark years of the two great shinobi's past remains unclear as no record was kept, but the truth was far deeper. No one ever lived to keep record of the dark deeds the two performed. Small villages ravaged, innocent people killed. Rivers of blood left in their path was all that remained. The people responsible were never found as there was never any trace to tie them into the situation.--

--Why the weapon was formed remains a mystery to all but the two. Being able to trap one's mind into a blade, enabled the user's power to grow. The power of greed, corruption and death. How the weapon was crafted, one dares not think about the consequences of the actions to forge such a blade. All anyone ever really knew about the past lies within the eerie icey death and destruction it caused. People who claimed to know the ones behind the blade, say the one who weilded the blade lost his mind. Changing into a completely different person once it became unsheathed. The blade that many became to fear lead the man into his power and the uproar from the scared lead to it's destruction.--

--Legend as it may be, traces of the truth still remain. The blade that was forged from the love of the two, wielded by the one was eventually destroyed. The battle in which it was destroyed shock the foundation where it begun. The place where death was paid for, the place were anything and everything was legal fell beneath the horror of that day. The man many felt had became a god ruled by fear, but the one who held the blade feared him not. The battle was not an unfair one as it could of been. Having been able to come within mere inches of finishing the fight before it started, the one with the blade wanted this to be fun to him. Thus the clash of steel erupted into the night. The gaurds were signaled but they did not even managed to enter the room before the icey death reached them. Fire and steel clashed as the god defended himself against the assault. Wakes of destruction arose in it's path as the flames licking from the god like man's blade cause the men to die and the death to walk the earth once more. This was the true fear of the man, not his ability of himself but the fact that all that he killed, rose as the dead only to serve him. It was said that the devil himself sent the man only known as Grom the axe he weilded which was never meant to be defeated. But on that dark and cold night the sound of clashing steel and licking flames stopped. Hordes of bones fell upon the ground in an instant as blood fell upon the stairs. The axe had fallen the champion but not without claiming one last victim. The blade which was forged by love was destroyed by love. Coming to the aid of the one she loved, the one who crafted the blade fell to the axe only to have her body never reincarnate itself to serve Grom. The blade shattered into piece sending them racing around the world, one of the shards found it's home in the skull of Grom. The pure speed quickly rendered the god-like man victim to what legend has it the blade of love. The fear of it being now is that it was not love that drove the blade to break but the hatred held up inside one man for the death of the only person he truly loved.--

--And now the shards of the blade landed spread throughout the world. Landing in the hands of unaware victims who did not know what the metal held inside itself. Causing the sane to kill themselves, and the rich to become poor. These shards finally found resting places in which they were not corrupting the minds of the innocents or so the world begun to hope.--

--The legend of what happened that bloody day remains now only known by a few. The darkest days tend to be forgotten as only the good things want to be remembered. But yet in the hearts of those who know, they know for sure that if they forget that day it is only to be relived once again. The eight shards of that day spread across the world. Capable of being forged by only a few select people only which one knew they could. The few others knew not of this story or the power that lies within the shards that have been turned into weapons already. Each of the eight shards which still maintained the strength of the original blade held onto a different aspect. Anger, Anticipation, Joy, Acceptance, Sadness, Disgust, Fear and Death were the names of the shards labeled by the historians in who reported on that day. For the time of the destruction the shards managed to avoid each other if by just the chance of luck. But upon a rainy day in the village of Konoha, the first meeting of two shards sparked the adventure of a boy in his quest to find out where he came from.—

--The feeling of metal always causes a sensation within Taihen. Different metal forged by different blacksmith were all different to him. Like smells of flowers of tastes of food, he could test the difference in each metal without so much as touching them. The blades he carried upon him were all different feelings. The icy blade caused a soothing sensation to Taihen as the diamond blade reflected upon the sturdiness of upon it. The two in which caused the oddest feelings were the first that was crafted the Urumi as it gave off a constant shock upon focusing on it and the blade he received upon his last mission; the blade in which constantly filled Taihen with anger of the family he never knew that still attempted to take his life. The blades in which he always carried held two special powers beyond the appearance of metal in which were yet to be discovered.—

--The heavy rain came down upon Taihen’s room as it stirred him awake. An eerie feeling of as Taihen was being welcomed peacefully into the weather made an uneasy feeling settle in his gut.—

Taihen: What is with this feeling off of a sudden?

--Off in the distance a cloaked man entered Konoha as a pool of blood was washed away at the gates of Konoha. A large gash sliced through the man’s skull as the metal gate cut open allowing all to enter as they please. Into the night the man slipped away without as much as a single sound.--
