Hakuin gently sobbed as he realized that the dream wasn't a nightmare but reality. Their Kage was able repel the crazy fanatic and was able to retrieve his dad body, Hakuin stood there in silent as he swore to get revenge on the Jashin Cult for his hatred burned with fury.

His mother rushed him to get ready for the funeral of his father was about to begin. Hakuin with gloomy and slow movement as he prepared to walk with their mother as they were begin consulted and begin showered by love from the rest of the ninja village. Many had shown up to funeral for his father was very loved and accepted by the village. His mother quietly sobbed as her husband casket was being lowered into the grave while Hakuin furiously clenched his fist while swearing vengeance under his breath.

During the afternoon was slow and painful as everywhere hakuin went, each place would hold a memory of him and his father. Deciding on going to playground, hopefully the painful memory would go away if he was occupied by playing with his friend. Once reaching the playground he could hear his friend shout about something, as he was unable to hear due to being far away. At the gate of the playground he was able to make of the word his friend Hidan.

Hidan could be seen on the floor while screaming at a group of kid " How dare you disrespect the name of the lord Jashin". Hakuin stood frozen at the gate, has he couldn't believe of what he had heard. With great fury, Hakuin rushed over and punched Hidan in the face, sending him tumbling into a tree. Hidan was stunned as he gazed at the pure hatred face of Hakuin, Hakuin screamed at hidan "how dare you mention those bastard in front of me, YOU WERE THERE WHEN THEY KILLED MANY NINJA'S AND MY FATHER" while repeatedly punching Hidan face until his fist was full of blood.

The group of kid who were standing there, they soon woke from their daze as they rushed and peeled Hakuin off. While holding him, Hidan suddenly stood up in a completely stunned face, as he just walked off from the park with his face bloodied. After that incident, Hakuin decided to head home, for he was exhausted and drain from today, mentally, and physically. Once reaching home, he could see his mother with a worried face, as she had heard from the mother of Hidan. His mother consulted and hugged Hakuin, only after telling him to wash up and eat.

During the night, Hakuin could be sleeping on his bed, only thinking, and wishing for the next day to be better. While drifting off to sleep, he soon woke up to people screaming and yelling. He soon heard his mother yell, as he rushed down the stair to see Hidan standing over his mother body with a knife, while an older adult with Jashin Cult clothes was watching Hidan.

In a blind of fury and anger, Hakuin rushed towards Hidan only to be knocked unconscious by the Jashin occult member. He soon later woke up in a carriage along with other captured villagers who were tightly bonded up. He could hear conversation among occult members as they talked about sacrificing them to their great lord Jashin. Soon panic set over the captured villager as they beg for mercy only to be told that it was a grand honor to be a sacrifice for their lord jashin.

They soon reached a small cage, as the fanatic occult members dragged each villager into the cell were their fate will be decided. In dark damped cave, people soon gave up hope after month when there was no sign of rescue.

Many were dragged off into the dark by Practitioners or novice. Only for scream to later echo off distant and never to appear again. The captured villagers were either starved or forced to listen to fanatic teaching of the prophet, trying to forcibly convert them.

Many had given up and soon joined the ranks among the Jashin occult, where Hakuin desperately hold on, waiting to either dragged off into darkness to be sacrifice or to starve to death. He swore he would never join the group that had taken his family. He soon learned of the bases for many of the members were unbothered to keep secret, whether they crazy or simply arrogant. For they were scattered among the lands of Water and Earth.

Their main base was still hidden and many of the lower ranks, were never told. As for their high rank? they never came down to damped cave, only when it was time to sacrifice or one of their ritual to connect to jashin. Hakuin also learned of their ranks, that went like this.

low rank would be practitioners, Novices, Acolytes, for the middle rank, did not exist for it was equal to the low rank. but most of them were made of Ritualists, Assassins, Priest/ess, Marauders, and Messenger's. Most of them would be outside either spreading or gathering more sacrifice for their occult. As for the high ranking, it would be the Pope, Commander of the Assassin, the prophet, and their clan head who were the closes to Jashin.

Soon the door of his jail cell was soon opened, A novice soon grabbed haskuin. unable to fight back due to his starvation and sense of weakness, he was slowly dragged off into a dark room. He was soon laid over a circle of candles, were a priest holding a book while preaching out loud. Hakuin simply closed his eyes as he accepted his fate, he soon opened them as a group of people came through the doors. he soon spotted Hidan as he approached him with a knife while the group of occultist priest preached out loud.
