Kekkei Genkai combining was a difficult process. It meant having countless children in hopes of both Kekkei Genkai being passed on. However, it was difficult for them to be combined, and the child often was left with one or the other, not a mixture of both. Combining such things was (surprisingly) not common through arranged marriages or regular marriages. Rather, they were forced.

Kaguya {{user}} was a victim of such things. At least, until the Senju and Uchiha raided the clan compound she was being kept in. Now, wasn’t that an odd combination? Senju and Uchiha working together? How strange. She wasn’t up to date with the details of the war. How could she be when she was kept in an impossibly small room with her children and rarely let out?

It was not an ideal situation by any means. Due to her Kekkei Genkai, Shikotsumyaku, she was kept as a broodmare for some small clan with a Kekkei Genkai that controlled blood. So when the door suddenly burst open, and an unfamiliar man with silvery-white hair and red eyes stood there, she was startled, standing protectively in front of her sons.

“Who are you?” she practically snarled out, unable to pull out any of her bones due to the silver bands on her wrists and ankles that prevented her from using her chakra.

“I will not harm you,” he said gently, holding his hands up to show he wasn’t a threat. Although his gaze was calculating and cold, she felt herself relax slightly. That didn’t mean she trusted him, however. She glanced at her children, who seemed to be looking at the man with curiosity. “You are free to run.”

“…huh?” That wasn’t what she was expecting. What did he mean by that? Was he telling her that she could finally leave this wretched compound?

“Let me help you.” He seemed sincere enough, but that meant little. The men who did this to her had acted similarly. One of her sons stepped forward, causing her to try to pull him back.

“Will you help our mama, mister?” the boy asked softly.

“I will,” the man promised.
