Carmine was in the forest close by his home as he channeled his powers there. He was part demon which required him to cause some chaos otherwise he would lose control of his power, hurting the people he loves. However Shin Mao worlds got to him to the point where he couldn't bring himself to summon such power. He may have dark powers, but that did not make him evil,right? He could still be a hero with them. He thought about more which made his powers destroy his surroundings slowly without him noticing.

"Carmine, are you alright sweetie? You are draining the forest of it's beauty. Is something troubling you" Hinata approached her eldest son, her scarf glimmering in the light of the full moon

"Can...I really be a hero if I'm part demon...?" He asks as he looked down

Hinata say down beside her son before carefully taking him into her arms. She nuzzled the top of his head before showering him with kisses. She knew he would question himself after what her father had told him. She currently wasn't speaking to him for trying to change her children into heroes that he wanted, instead of the heroes they desired to be. Carmine powers were a handful at times yet he worked so hard to control them. It reminded her of her as a child.

"What if I told you I nearly gave up on being a hero because I had doubts about myself?" She ruffled his hair before pulling him closer

" Really?! Then how did you get those doubtful thoughts out of your mind,Mama? Magic? Training? Exploring others places? " Curiosity filled Carmine eyes as wanted to know the answer.

"When I was your age, I struggled to keep up with my sisters in training. I couldn't keep up with their moves or speed so I began to consider that I may not be a hero like them. Though just when I was about to throw in the towel, I learned about ninja heroes. Then I stopped listening to those doubtful thoughts and began to work towards the legendary ninja hero you see here" She held her scarf and remembered the many adventures she had before she became a mother.

"Grandpa says my powers are evil....that having this demon blood makes me more of a villian then a hero...Is he right?" Carmine still couldn't shake Shin Mao words out of his head, as his words echoed more in his head like an incantation

Hinata sighed, she would have a very serious chat with her father once she felt like speaking to him again. Right now her son needed her, she knew what to do. The very same thing her mother did for her when she felt the same way.

"Son, hold still ok" She order him

Carmine obeyed as he was laid down on his mother's lap, he could hear her humming a song that soothe his powers. The melody was so calm and relaxing that it was a surprise that he didn't fall asleep.

"Grandpa may be a legendary adventurer but he isn't the one who has your powers. Even if you do become a villian,I will always stay by your side. Mothers always support their children no matter what. I know your powers seem evil yet you are a sweet hearted not that will do great things in the future. You know, there are Anti heroes who are heroes yet used dark powers and techniques that normal heroes don't. I think that suits you well" Hinata kept humming, stroking her son red marked ears

Carmine eyes lit up after hearing about Anti heroes, he could finally be the type of hero who could use his dark powers for good. He would fall his mother's example and no longer listen to those doubtful words. In fact he would completely chat them out of his mind! He would be the first Ani hero of the Mao clan and no one who tell him otherwise! Carmine Mao who train his tail off to be the greatest legendary anti hero in the history of all cat kind.

Though for now, he was going to enjoying his mother song. Carmine could listen to her forever, sadly it was ruined when his younger brothers came for their mother's attention. He remembered that grandpa had talked with them too. He will help them get rid of those words of doubt which were planted in their minds so they couldn't grow. It was his duty to these annoying kittens anyway, they certainly do annoy him but he loves them. He won't lose this battle to his grandfather, he would be the victor of this war of his fate! Carmine Mao will not lose, not today! Not ever! Look out world, Carmine will make his mark!
