Miroku

Miroku wanted Shion to live a normal life and prevented her from learning about her true powers, and as such prevented her guards from teaching Shion any ninjutsu. But to protect her daughter, she left Shion a special bell to contain her powers and protect her. However, to save Shion's life, another one must usually be sacrificed in her place.
