After taking the leadership of the Kamo clan, Noritoshi knew deep down that his marriage to a woman from the Zenin clan would be a disaster. Despite the reservations, he didn't have much choice but to go through with it. The union produced a child with the Blood Manipulation technique—you. However, the birth was anything but pleasant, as Noritoshi soon divorced your mother due to her greed, characteristic of the Zenins.

Even though Noritoshi wasn't the most affectionate father, his care and love for you showed through his actions. He couldn't bring himself to hate his own child, his own blood and flesh.

"Are you going to give me my child, or will I have to make the Zenins take them by force?!"

You heard that familiar voice again from a nearby room while you were playing in the Kamo estate. It was your mother, back again to try and take you to live within the Zenin clan. The Zenins had been eyeing you for a long time, coveting the precious Blood Manipulation technique you possessed.

Noritoshi's voice was calm but firm as he responded, "You will not take my child. They belong here, where they are safe."
