The Silence of Waves
Hidden deep in the cliffs of the Hidden Cloud Village, the Anitsu Clan guarded a secret older than the village itself: the Wave Style, a Kekkei Genkai that manipulates vibration itself — and the perfect counter to the Uchiha's visual jutsu. When the Uchiha leadership judged that secret an existential threat, they struck one new-moon night in a covert operation disguised as a rogue attack. In a single night, over two hundred Anitsu were silenced. Only four survived — and one of them was a boy just one year old.
The Secret War
The Uchiha had long studied the Anitsu. They knew the cooldowns, the blind spots, the weaknesses. When the Third War ended, the order was given — and a twelve-man strike team moved under diplomatic cover.
The Night of Broken Waves
The attack came at 3:00 AM, when Anitsu wave-sensitivity was lowest. Clan head Nayuta fell defending his family — while Nyoko, the clan's chief medic, bought four precious minutes with a forbidden final technique.
The Prince of a Dead Clan
Raided by his cousin Nora at age one, Nanzo grew up alone under the weight of 200 dead — raised on grief, legacy, and a buried truth he would only learn at age ten. Until one stubborn girl saw through the perfect exterior to the broken boy beneath.
