The power that reappears

Among the families that are going to sustain the political dispute, right now, are in tension even before the battle begins.

A rumor has spread and this is due to an event that concerns the strange tree that is inside that building in the heart of the City, since it has changed its foliage color overnight, its left side It has turned all the cherry blossom petals black, and the ones on the right side have been turned entirely white.

Members of the Sakurasuka family and Sakurakuza have studied this phenomenon, referring to the fact that this soon-to-start feud will most likely repeat a historical event from the past.

A long time ago, a long time ago, that tree did the same thing. In that dispute, it was said that some members of the two families, separately, are vessels of unique power.

A power that cannot be developed or acquired, but one that is obtained innately, regardless of whether the person who carries it is aware of it or not.

The Sakurasuka had a member born with this power, and the Sakurakuza for their part as well.

This goes beyond the fact that a simple political dispute and whoever wins can deform the history of the World at will.

Right now, the Sakurasuka family is in turmoil, and there is a huge board of wise advisers and advisers.

"We are facing a historic event! We can't afford to lose!" Says a courageous woman in the midst of the crowd.

" Do you even have any idea who was born among us with such power!?"  Says someone else obfuscated.

"Who are the people who are going to participate in the contest!? Bring them immediately!" claims another family member.

"We can't do that yet! We are still deciding who the remaining four members will be!" Says another woman.

"Bring everyone," I said, now!" speaks one of the family leaders.

Another of the family leaders calls a huge assembly of his own with great urgency.

The Sakurakuza family, on the other hand, has done the same.

This assembly is calmer. Its leaders, representatives and other family members are very attentive as if they were waiting for something...

This place looks like the main hall of an important building, probably a very important government building because this family is the one who has the national power of the country right now.

The doors that lead to this place open wide and only a young person enters with his hands in his pockets calmly, it shows that he has a lot of presence. His hair is black, he wears clothes from what seems to be some educational institution.

The head of the Sakurakuza family stands up…

"Welcome Kuroi Sakurakuza, the person who has been chosen to rewrite history. The wielder of the power of the “Immortal Echo!” says a family leader, and all the other people stand up in amazement and applaud.

The Sakurasuka family, on their side, all wonder the most efficient way to find the bearer of the Immortal Echo.

"Under what parameters can you know who is the bearer of the Immortal Echo!?" asked one family member of Sakurasuka dynasty.

"You should test the candidates and have someone demonstrate that they have a level of skill in the use of the Echo with high level projection, much more than that of the other participants," affirms a man from this family.

Immediately another person from this family has come running causing a mess, while taking breaths to recover and speak...

"The Sakurakuza family has already defined who is its bearer of the Immortal Echo! They demand that the family duel begin!," said a man of the Sakurasuka family that arrived with the information.

“They said that the projection level of that special user is high\, but how `high` are we talking about?” asked the other family member.

A woman comes forward to explain, this is Shiro Sakurasuka's mother, Nami Sakurasuka...

— The level of Projection must surpass even the simple fact of being able to materialize an entire city. That power goes beyond something as complex as that. In theory, the one that posses the Immortal Echo should have enough power to be able to replicate at least his own life completely and execute it through a projection on reality, this being stronger than reality itself to be able to change it, for this reason it is said that he can infer in history modifying it at will and creating a totally new one...

Everyone is scared in this room. Practically, if someone can do that should already be considered non-human.

Projection levels vary between users. The power of the Echo allows its users to release and transmute their thoughts and memories into material things, there are those who memorize the composition of an object added to a substantial knowledge of the material composition of the object, knowing this that a user of Echo can replicate it immediately or alter the shape of that object.

The same is true of large-scale memories embodied in history.

Someone with this strength could repeat an event or rewrite an event with no problem.

However, even a carrier that possesses projection capacity of these magnitudes cannot rewrite history on its own, but needs its counterpart.

In this case, the young man from the Sakurakuza family must meet, defeat, and complement the power of himself with the other family's Echo Immortal bearer through appropriating the power of the other user's Echo Immortal.

Echoes absorption only occurs between these two special forces of Echo Immortal.

The young man, who has been recognized as a user of the Sakurazuka family's Immortal Echo, is currently observing the entire city from the roof of the huge building where he is.

An old man accompanies him.

"Kuroi, how do you feel, knowing that you have been chosen as the bearer of such power?"asked an old man from this family, curious to know what is on the mind of the chosen one.

"I feel strange, I feel like I'm not really me...,"  affirm Kuroi.

"What are you willing to do with such power?"  asks the old man with some fear.

That young man only looks at the palm of his left hand for a moment, thinking about that question, however, he doesn't give any answer to the old man.

The rain is still present on this day. After a while, this same person decides to go meditate in front of the strange tree that is in the center of that City.

It is really observed that his foliage has changed and this boy meditates on the left side, on the side where his black cherry trees are shown.

"This tree must contain a meaning. If it has changed in representation of my person, it means that he has also done it in favor of the one who is among the Sakurasuka family. But, what does this really mean?"  asks the chosen one, very confused.

While this person meditates standing up, even with his eyes closed trying to find an answer to his own, the young Shiro Sakurasuka is on the right side, on the white part, looking at the being in the same way.

—"Who will be the bearer of the Immortal Echo among my family?"  he asks himself anguished.

At the Sakurakuza family meeting, Hazuo has begun to investigate a certain term on his behalf. He has been

met to speak with one of the family leaders.

"What does it mean to someone to be the bearer of such power?"  Asks Hazuo, intrigued.

"I don't know, Hazuo. It's a kind of luck that happens from time to time. Time we don't really know how to predict, since it seems to happen when whatever it is that causes such a thing, when it wants it to. We know this has happened in the past," affirms this family leader.

"What influence did the use of that power have on everything we know so far? Will we be living a history rewritten by some winner of a battle in the past?" asks Hazuo with a certain hidden intention.

"Don't know. But what I do know is that this is our chance to rewrite our own! Memories can be forgotten, memories can die, history can be forgotten, but Kuroi can make our history immortal through time! Immortal Echo recreates something whose duration is not eternal, but cannot be so easily vanished by the claws of time!" says the leader head with impetus.

"To all this, is it possible that someone can live a long time using a memory materialized in reality?" asks Hazuo intrigued.

"Well... I haven't really thought about that possibility, Hazuo, why do you ask?"  the man incriminates Hazuo.

“Just curious…,” said Hazuo as he smiles warmly.

Hazuo withdraws. His face shows a serious one.

"I only thought that this world was important because of that tree." I didn't expect something like this to happen, maybe these two people are the ones I've been looking for, unconsciously in the end. —Affirms Hazuo in his thoughts.

Again, the young Shiro Sakurasuka goes down the stairs of the building that houses the tree, next to him, the young Kuroi of the Sakurakuza family also goes down those stairs. Immediately, young Shiro receives a call...

"Son, we have already chosen the candidates. The Sakurakuza family insists on starting the conflict at once. We have chosen the best possible, the battle will start from tomorrow…," affirms the Shiro's mother.

"Thanks for your notice. I'll mentally prepare myself for it...," said Shiro with a low spirit.

"I pray that among the seven of you, there is the bearer of the immortal Echo...," says the woman with hope in her voice.

The young man ends the call. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.

"Let's start this…," As he says that, he clenches his right fist tightly.
