Zenin Toji has a secret hidden in his heart. When he was a boy, the room where he lived had a magical wardrobe that could connect to another world.
Through that wardrobe, he met a ninja named Fushiguro Mayuki.
Fushiguro Mayuki had lost both parents. With half Uchiha blood, he lived alone on the outskirts of the Uchiha district.
Led by Fushiguro Mayuki, Zenin Toji explored the sights of Konoha. Thanks to his presence, even a bleak and hopeless life began to seem interesting.
Five years passed, and they became lovers. But all their happiness was shattered on the night of the blood moon. That night, he watched helplessly as the man he loved was stabbed through the stomach by a masked man. A barrier between space and time kept him on the other side, with just one step between them that felt like an uncrossable chasm.
A rumor has been circulating within the Black Organization: Vermouth, one of its code-named members, recently brought a boy who had appeared out of nowhere at a deal back to headquarters. They say that even while gravely wounded and on the brink of death, the boy could instinctively dodge every attack.
When the boy woke, he remembered nothing of his past, only that his name was Fushiguro Mayuki. After training and brainwashing ensured they had him completely under control, the Black Organization arranged for him to attend an American high school, where he became classmates and partners with Kurosawa Jin, another member of the organization.
After an ordinary high school life filled with fights and violence, Fushiguro Mayuki was sent to Japan on an undercover mission. He planned to enter the police academy after graduating from college.
After his lover's death, Zenin Toji could no longer travel to the other world through the wardrobe. He drifted through life for three years, then finally decided to leave the Zenin family.
But without that person by his side, everything seemed equally dull and tedious to him, whether it was the Zenin family or the world outside, until one summer night when he spotted his familiar yet unfamiliar lover in the crowd.
After a matchmaking party, Fushiguro Mayuki headed back to school with five fellow police academy students. Along the way, his eyes accidentally met those of a strange, yet somehow familiar, black-haired man.
In an instant, a shiver ran through him, as if he had been targeted by a large predator.
Reader's guide:
1. Yes, they have a child together. His name is Megumi.
2. This is a mixed-up version of the canon. The characters may be on the side of the Black Organization or the police, but they'll choose to go straight for their child's future.
3. The logic is dead, the characters are out of character. Feel free to leave comments or move on, but please don't make personal attacks.
4. I'll add more if I think of anything.
