To understand Ichika's story, one must step back and examine the events that happened prior to her being born. Her mother,
Mika Gi, was a member of the
Kirigakure ANBU corps and she was given a mission to infiltrate a
Jashinist sect that had taken root within the Water Country, upon a small island off of the main island, and to gather more information on the strengths and weaknesses of the cult leader of this sect. Whether he was considered a threat or easy prey. She was told that the name of the Cult Leader was named
Nobuyuki Jashin; one pompous enough to change his family name to
Jashin, believing to be a descendant of the Blood God.
Upon successful infiltration,
Mika Gi had found herself within the flock and was to be made as one of
Nobuyuki's concubines. For the sake of the mission objectives, she played her role and performing his every carnal whim for him. However, she was given honeyed words and empty promises of one day reaching the
Promised Lands and she would, eventually, become brainwashed. She had clung on to everything he said, obeying him, calling him 'Master
Nobuyuki' and to help recruit other, beautiful women to expand his cult and harem.
Regular contact between herself and her handler had been established when she first infiltrated with her relaying intelligence. However, after 1 year of being implanted into the cult, she had already broken and fallen to temptation. The teachings had enthralled her and her job as
Nobuyuki's concubine was too good to pass up for her. It was due to this lack of communication that Kirigakure had sent in another shinobi, her husband. The other shinobi, instead of infiltrating the cult did what other ANBU would do. However, he found his wife
Mika sleeping with the cult leader and even siding with the cult leader when his emotional damage from seeing this brought him intense pain. He was quickly dispatched afterwards and her loyalty towards
Nobuyuki continued to grow.
A thought appeared in
Nobuyuki's head as he remembered, or rather, made up a prophecy.
A woman shall fall down from the heavens
and bear the son of Jashin a child
This child will be born with fanged teeth
And they will become the second-coming of our Lord
And this child shall take you all to the Promised Land
The prophecy was made and
Nobuyuki instantly impregnated
Mika. After 9 months had passed, this gave him time to think of a ritual that would help give birth to the '
Child of Prophecy'. As if
Lord Jashin had spoken to him, he decided to prepare her for the ritual -- a sacrifice.
While
Mika would enter labor, she would be placed upon the sacrificial altar. All of the congregation would gather to watch and offer prayers. Draped in red robes, the congregation surrounded the altar to begin chanting a religious hymn.
Mika laid upon the sacrificial altar completely nude and ready to give birth. The moment the child's head appeared,
Nobuyuki plunged the ceremonial dagger directly into
Mika's heart, almost instantly killing her. However, the baby was yet to be born and escape from her mother's corpse. Pulling the child out, he bathed the baby girl in the blood of her mother.
Anticipation hushed the cultists before the declaration that the baby girl was born as the
Child of Prophecy, being born with long fangs. Freeing the child from it's umbilical cord, smacking her on the rear to cause her to cry to show the fangs in her mouth,
Nobuyuki held the child up and declared her name to be
Ichika Jashin, his daughter and the
Child of Prophecy.
