it needs to be in color( no weapon no book) Her fingers traced the cold iron bars. How many nights had she spent here? How many times had she counted the bars, unable to sleep?
The space smelled like hay and rust and old wood. There were scratches in the walls—claw marks from previous performers, maybe. Or from her own restless nights.
She curled up on the mattress, tail wrapped around herself, ears flat against her skull.
"I’m a bird trapped in a cage," she whispered to the darkness.
The lantern flickered.
And then—movement outside her window.
A tall figure passed by, silhouetted against the moonlight.
Cinder sat up, ears perking.
The figure wore a long coat and a plague doctor mask—the beak curved and sharp. But strangest of all, faint stars seemed to glow across the mask’s surface, like constellations trapped in porcelain.
Her heart skipped.
Who—?
The figure moved silently through the sleeping circus, heading toward the edge of the grounds.
For the first time in weeks, she felt something other than despair.
Curiosity.

Chapter 1: The Day We Met
The sun rose over the Hidden Leaf Village, casting golden light across the rooftops and the stone faces of the Hokage Monument. Birds chirped lazily, and the academy courtyard buzzed with anticipation. Today was the first day of training for the newest class of shinobi — and among them were three who would one day change everything.
Shawn stood beneath a tree at the edge of the courtyard, arms crossed, eyes scanning the crowd. His dreadlocks hung low, swaying slightly in the breeze. He wore a dark cloak and a white fox mask clipped to his belt. He didn’t speak. He didn’t need to. His presence was quiet, but heavy — like gravity itself bent around him.
Jaden was already moving. He flipped a kunai between his fingers, sharp eyes darting from student to student. His hair was spiky and wild, and his shirt bore a red flame spiral emblem. One eye shimmered faintly red — a flicker of the Sharingan, maybe. The other was pale, unreadable. He smirked, confident and restless.
Then came Isaiah.
He arrived late, walking through the academy gates with a slow, deliberate stride. A hood shadowed his face, but the scar over his left eye was unmistakable. He didn’t speak. He didn’t smile. His chakra felt… different. Like something ancient was buried inside him, waiting.
The instructor stepped forward, voice firm. “Line up! Today marks the beginning of your journey. You’ll train, you’ll fight, and if you survive — you’ll become shinobi of the Hidden Leaf.”
The students scrambled into formation. Shawn, Jaden, and Isaiah ended up side by side, silent. They didn’t speak. But something passed between them — a flicker of recognition, a sense of connection. Like their fates were already tangled.
None of them knew it yet, but deep inside each of them, something was stirring. A seal. A beast. A mutation. A destiny.
And so, the story began.

After the show, Cinder walked through the circus grounds, still buzzing with adrenaline. Performers clapped her shoulder. Vendors offered her candied apples. The strongman lifted her onto his shoulders for a victory lap.
She belonged here.
That night, curled up in her wagon, she stared at the wooden ceiling and thought about Ryan.
Ryan.
Her old street-performing partner. The one who’d taught her how to juggle when she was just a scrappy kid with oversized ears and a tail she couldn’t control. He’d always drop the third apple on purpose during their act—just to make the kids laugh.
"One day, Cin," he’d said, grinning with that lopsided smile, "we’ll perform for kings and queens. We’ll be legends."
She’d believed him.
But when the circus scouts came through town, only Cinder had been chosen. Ryan had pushed her forward.
"Go. You’re better than this street corner. I’ll catch up—I promise."
That was three years ago.
She wondered if he’d made it. If he was performing somewhere grand. If he still remembered her.
Her ears drooped slightly.
I hope you’re okay, Ryan.

Ms. Aisyah walked slowly between the desks.
“One of Freud’s followers, Carl Jung, disagreed with him.”
“What did he change?” Mei Ling asked.
“Jung said the unconscious isn’t just personal,” she explained. “He believed in a collective unconscious.”
The class looked confused.
“It means,” she continued, “humans share universal memories and symbols — called archetypes.”
“Like heroes? Mothers? Villains?” Amir asked.
“Exactly!” she smiled. “Jung moved beyond just sexual instincts and focused on shared human experiences.”Ms. Aisyah erased the board and wrote in big letters:
INFERIORITY
“Alfred Adler believed people are driven by the need to overcome feelings of inferiority.”
“Not hidden desires?” Farah asked.
“No. He believed we strive for superiority — to improve ourselves.”
She continued, “He also created birth order theory.”
“Firstborns?” someone whispered.
“Yes. Firstborns may become overachievers. Middle children competitive. Youngest children may feel less responsible.”
“But is it proven?” Amir asked.
Ms. Aisyah smiled knowingly.
“Research shows birth order has very little effect on personality. But Adler’s idea about striving for improvement remains influential.”The class was now fully awake.
“Karen Horney strongly disagreed with Freud’s ideas about women,” Ms. Aisyah said firmly.
“She replaced ‘penis envy’ with something different.”
The class shifted awkwardly.
“She argued that what truly matters is basic anxiety.”
“What’s that?” Mei Ling asked.
“It’s the anxiety children feel when they are small in a big, powerful world.”
She showed a photo of a child sitting alone at a beach.
“Children cope with anxiety in different ways — by moving toward people, against people, or away from people.”
“So personality comes from insecurity?” Farah asked.
“Partly. Horney believed poor childhood security leads to unhealthy relationship patterns.”Finally, Ms. Aisyah wrote:
Life Span Development
“Erik Erikson agreed with Freud that childhood matters,” she said, “but he believed development continues throughout life.”
“Not just childhood?” Amir asked.
“No. Erikson created eight psychosocial stages — from infancy to old age.”
She drew a timeline across the board.
“Each stage involves a social conflict. Trust vs mistrust. Identity vs role confusion. And so on.”
“So it’s more social than sexual?” Mei Ling asked.
“Exactly.”Ms. Aisyah leaned against her desk.
“So what did the Neo-Freudians do?”
Silence.
Then Amir spoke carefully.
“They kept Freud’s idea of the unconscious… but focused more on social relationships?”
Ms. Aisyah beamed.
“Yes. They moved away from sexual instincts and emphasized culture, relationships, anxiety, personal growth, and lifelong development.”
The bell rang loudly.
As the students packed their bags, Farah whispered,
“Poor Freud. Everyone changed his theory.”
Ms. Aisyah laughed softly.
“That’s how psychology grows.”
She erased the board slowly, leaving only one word behind:
Evolution.

Chapter Intro:
The seal is broken. The Rift stirs. Deep within the void, a presence awakens — ancient and furious. The Riftborn King, long dormant, has opened his eye. As the Hidden Leaf regroups, Team 0 is summoned to a secret chamber beneath the Hokage Tower. There, the truth behind the Hoshigan, Isaiah’s mutation, and the Riftborn’s obsession with their bloodlines is finally revealed.

Scene 1: Descent into Secrets
Interior panel: A spiral staircase winds deep beneath the Hokage Tower. The walls are carved with ancient symbols. Torches flicker with blue flame.
- Shawn: Cloaked in black, his white fox mask with red markings clipped to his belt. His face is calm, with sharp cheekbones and a faint scar beneath his right eye. His 3-Tomoe Hoshigan glows with a fourth mark forming — a black diamond at the center. The obsidian-forged sword rests across his back, humming with gravitational energy.
- Jaden: His long, flowing black hair cascades down his back, tied loosely at the base. He wears a black shinobi robe with a red flame crest on the chest, one sleeve torn to reveal his muscular left arm. His Byakugan is dormant but alert, and his black gloves are worn from battle.
- Isaiah: Towering and broad-shouldered, his dark skin is marked with faint black veins from his mutation. His dreadlocks are tied back, and his jagged fur-lined cloak drapes over a cream-colored combat tunic. A kunai spins slowly in his right hand, his eyes scanning every shadow.
Hokage (gravely):
“This vault predates the village. It holds the truth behind your powers.”
Kuroda (to Shawn):
“Your eye didn’t awaken by chance. It was chosen — by something older than chakra itself.”

Scene 2: The Memory Stone
A massive crystal floats in the center of the chamber, pulsing with violet light. As Shawn steps forward, his Hoshigan reacts — the fourth mark completes with a flash.
Shawn (wincing, voice strained):
“It’s… calling me.”
He reaches out. The moment his fingers touch the stone, a surge of energy floods the room. Time freezes. Jaden and Isaiah are suspended mid-step, their expressions locked in concern.

Scene 3: The Riftborn King Revealed
Shawn is pulled into a vision. He stands in a shattered world — skies torn open, stars bleeding. A throne of bone and obsidian looms ahead. Upon it sits the Riftborn King — a towering figure with six arms, a jagged crystal crown, and a massive Hoshigan embedded in his chest.
Riftborn King (voice like thunder):
“You wear my legacy, child. My eye. My curse.”
Shawn (steady, eyes glowing):
“I’m not your heir.”
Riftborn King:
“You already are. The Eye remembers. And soon… so will you.”
The King raises a hand. The vision shatters.

Scene 4: The Eye Evolves
Back in the chamber, time resumes. Shawn stumbles back, breathing hard. His Hoshigan now bears a fourth tomoe — a black diamond spinning at the center.
Jaden (rushing forward, long hair flowing):
“Shawn! What happened?!”
His Byakugan activates instantly, veins bulging at his temples. He scans Shawn’s chakra network — it’s swirling, unstable, like a storm inside a bottle.
Isaiah (stepping in, dreadlocks swaying):
“Your chakra… it’s not yours anymore.”
His mutation pulses in response, black veins glowing faintly beneath his skin.
Shawn (voice low, eyes burning):
“I saw him. The Riftborn King. He’s coming.”

Scene 5: The King’s Herald
The chamber trembles. A Riftborn sigil burns into the air. A voice echoes from the stone.
Riftborn Voice (disembodied):
“The King rises. The Eye will return. And the world will kneel.”
The sigil vanishes. Silence falls.
Hokage (to Team 0):
“You three are the last line. If the King crosses over… we fall.”

Scene 6: Final Panel
Full-page spread: Team 0 stands before the glowing memory stone.
- Shawn: Cloak fluttering, Hoshigan gleaming with four tomoe. His obsidian blade hums with power.
- Jaden: Long hair flowing, Byakugan fully active, lightning crackling at his fingertips.
- Isaiah: Dreadlocks wild, mutation coiled like a shadow beast behind him, kunai in hand.
Narration box:
The King has awakened.
The Eye has remembered.
And the war for reality has begun.

**Panel 1**
*Wide establishing shot of the pristine academy hallway—marble floors gleaming under crystal chandeliers, lockers lining walls that look like they belong in a palace rather than a school. Students in expensive uniforms part like the Red Sea. At the far end, a procession approaches: Furina, flanked by four perfectly groomed hangers-on, moves with the fluid arrogance of someone who owns the ground she walks on.*

**Panel 2**
*Close-up on Furina's face. Sunlight from tall windows catches the blue highlights in her hair and the diamond earrings that probably cost more than a car. Her eyes—sharp, theatrical, scanning the crowd with practiced disdain—suddenly lock onto something off-panel. The corner of her mouth twitches. Not a smile. A predator spotting prey.*

**Panel 3**
*Dramatic low angle from the protagonist's perspective (Riccardo, brown hair slightly messy, glasses catching the light, worn blazer clearly not from the same tailor as everyone else's). Furina's silhouette blocks the hallway light, her friends fanning out behind her like wings. The perspective makes her seem towering, inevitable.*

**Panel 4**
*Medium shot. Furina stops abruptly, one hand on her hip, the other adjusting her designer bag strap with deliberate casualness. Her friends giggle behind manicured hands, but Furina's attention is laser-focused. Her cheeks show the faintest hint of pink—barely visible, easily mistaken for the flush of excitement rather than what it really is.*

**Panel 5**
*Extreme close-up of Furina's lips. Glossy, curled into that cruel, performative smirk. The dialogue balloon drips with theatrical venom:*
**"Well, well, well. Look who it is!"**

**Panel 6**
*Cut to her eyes—wide, almost too bright. The reflection in her pupils shows a tiny, distorted image of you. Her fingers, hidden behind her back in this shot, are clutching her phone so tight her knuckles are white. A small text bubble near her head, small and wavering, reveals her internal monologue (manga-style, grayed out):*
*"He wore the blue shirt today... the one that matches his eyes..."*

**Panel 7**
*Wide shot of the confrontation. The hallway has gone quiet. Other students press against the walls, watching the ritual humiliation. Furina takes one step forward, invading personal space, her head tilted back to look down her nose at you despite the fact that you're taller. Her friends lean in, expecting the usual performance—the comments about your secondhand shoes, your patched bag, your "peasant" glasses.*

**Panel 8**
*Close-up on Furina's hand. It reaches out as if to flick your collar or snatch your glasses—her usual taunts—but freezes mid-air. The fingers tremble almost imperceptibly. She pulls back, crossing her arms instead, maintaining the fortress of her arrogance.*

A pleasant day in Swastik Residency, Thane. Children can be heard playing games in the Society
playground. Amidst the Jolly mood of the society, A rather timid boy sits in the verandah glancing over
his book, on the blissful interactions he sought after. Enter Archit, our main character. He was a bright
boy and a quick learner. However, appearance-wise, He was just any other boy, you'd find every 2 doors.
He would have loved to go play with others if not for his series of tests at his school soon. However, he
had some friends who’d come to visit him & study with him. One of them was Jash, also known as "J
wala Jash”. Archit hoped at least he would visit on this gloomy day, and so did he.
Jash came in and started bothering Archit. He pulled him and asked him to stop being a bookworm for
once. Archit was enraged, yet Jash had a point. It had been ages since he had a nice walk, so he agreed.
Jash told him he had something to show Archit. Curious, yet nonchalant, they walked the length of their
lodge all the way to the nearest elevator. But something was strange. Archit had never seen Jash so
excited about something. The elevator dinged and they teetered out the apartment into the large open
space. That’s when Archit realised Jash was dressed rather well for a normal day. A matte-brown
corduroy over a pleasant white Tee. His trousers hung low yet went well with his outfit he had a musk
essence coming off of him. While our man, well, he looked as if he had just woke up from a nightmare
and wet his pants. Yet they trotted their way all the way through the society gates to the main road.
Archit having not walked for a while, felt tired and uninterested in whatever Jash was so excited about.
Jash took Archit to the famous “Tapas Ke Golgappe”. It was a Pani puri shop famous for its “Dhaakan Pani
Puri”. Archit slightly annoyed asked the reason for visiting a Pani Puri shop, when he had so much work
to do. Jash informed that they were waiting for someone, just a few more minutes. Jash convinced Archit
to stay by buying him a ‘Golgappa’ plate while treating himself to Sev puri. While eating a golgappa,
Archit saw a charming girl come over. She was gorgeous and stunning. Her smile kept his mouth gape
open. Then all of a sudden, Jash took hold of her and introduced her to Archit as his girlfriend.
Bamboozled, Archita choked on his golgappa and coughed the life out of him. The girl pitied and grinned
at Archit's sorry state.
The girl introduced herself as Paulami, Her voice, honey to Archit's ears. At that moment, Archit
experienced something, he had never experienced before. his stomach. tickled and his face turned red.
Her voice echoed in his ears and his face couldn't stop smiling. Jash & Paulami held each other's hands
and started talking like lovebirds. The conversation could be interpreted as a script for a romantic movie.
The more they talked, the closer they got. Even the reader could predict what was gonna happen next.
Both the lovebirds leaned in for a kiss when it was interrupted by a loud, hoarse voice. from the owner
Tapas, “DON'T DO THIS TAATI POTTY IN FRONT OF MY SHOP, DHAAKAN". Scared the shit out of
them. The Trio ran all the way home never stopping once. Jash bid Archit farewell and led Paulami to his
house. Archit walked back home, thinking of this Newfound feeling. Was it Love? Or was it Hormones?
He could never know until they met again. The only thing he could focus on now was recovering from
Tapas’ Trauma.

Manga

Tassi Hangbé, la reine rossignol
Sœur jumelle du roi Akaba, Tassi Hangbé, un peu oubliée par l’histoire, est la 5ème reine de la dynastie royale d’Abomey. Littéralement le nom hangbé signifie “la voix de la chanson” en langue fon d’Abomey. Depuis son enfance, celle qui n’était encore qu’une princesse du royaume avait pour passion la musique et chantait remarquablement bien. Avec ses belles chansons, elle égayait chaque soir les réunions entre son père et ses frères. L’histoire révèle même que les soirs où elle était absente, le roi et ses frères envoyaient des serviteurs l’appeler car ne pouvant se passer des douces mélodies de la princesse à qui le sobriquet ” hangbé ” fut donné. Cette appellation deviendra plus tard son nom officiel dans tout le royaume.

La gouvernance de la reine Hangbé
En 1708, alors que le roi Akaba meurt des suites d’une courte maladie pendant la guerre, sa sœur Tassi Hangbé présente à ses côtés décide de de garder le secret de sa mort pour ne pas démoraliser les troupes. Déguisée en son frère, elle prend le commandement de l’armée et mène les combats jusqu’à la victoire finale à Lissèzoun, où elle vainc le royaume de Wémè.
À son retour à Abomey, le fils d’Akaba étant encore trop jeune pour régner, c’est Hangbé qui prend les rênes du royaume du Danxomè. Bien qu’aucune cérémonie officielle n’ait eu lieu, elle portait tous les symboles du pouvoir royal : les sandales sacrées (saloubata), le grand pagne décoré (avotita), la récade (mankpo). Reconnue et respectée comme souveraine, elle était toujours accompagnée du siège et du parasol royal.
Elle recevait de tous le respect dû à son rang mais les réalités phallocratiques du royaume n’ont pas tardé à la rattraper. Le règne d’une femme dérangeait dans un contexte fortement dominé par les hommes. Au palais comme dans le reste du royaume, certains hommes manifestaient ouvertement leur indignation à l’idée de laisser une femme sur le trône de Houégbadja. Subissant complots et tensions familiales, qui lui coûtent notamment l’annulation de son mariage et la perte de deux fils, Hangbè finit par céder le pouvoir à son frère Dossou, intronisé en 1711 sous le nom d’Agadja.
Malgré son règne très court, Tassi Hangbé reste une figure majeure de l’histoire du Danxomè. Proche de son peuple, attachée à la religion et aux arts, elle a surtout marqué son époque en mettant en valeur le rôle des femmes, notamment par la création du corps des Amazones, un héritage restructuré et renforcé par la suite plus tard par le roi Ghézo.

Le combat féministe de la mère des amazones
Selon Damien Mariano Agliti, guide à l’Office de tourisme de la région d’Abomey, « Tassi Hangbé a pris cette initiative pour donner une véritable place aux femmes au sein du royaume ». Son influence ne s’est pas arrêtée à ses quatre années de règne. Même après avoir quitté le trône, Nan Hangbé est restée une haute dignitaire respectée, intervenant activement dans les affaires du royaume — notamment lorsqu’elle s’opposa à son frère qui refusa de retourner le pouvoir au fils d’Akaba une fois celui-ci en âge de régner.Elle a aussi joué un rôle clé dans la reconnaissance des femmes dignitaires, appelées Tassi, facilement identifiables grâce à leurs pagnes souvent posés sur la tête. Aujourd’hui encore, à Abomey, une femme perpétue la tradition de la reine guerrière : elle occupe le trône de Tassi Hangbé, dirige les cultes annuels et veille sur les affaires de la collectivité Hangbé
