Event ONT Conflict

Oboro and her Troops, defeated 3 years ago

The **ONT Conflict** was a killing spree of multiple Taimanin, performed by the Rogue Taimanin group the "Oboro Ninja Troops". Their leader Oboro, a high ranking member of the now destroyed Koukawa clan, had joined Nomad and the killing would only stop after her "death" by the hands of the strongest Taimanin, Igawa Asagi.

These events took place in the prologue of Taimanin Asagi, 3 years before the main story of TA. The event, might not have occurred in both RPGX and Taimanin Asagi ZERO.

## Event Timeline

### Pre Event

When the Koukawa Massacre took place, which ended one of the strongest Taimanin Clans. The leader of the Koukawa clan, Koukawa Oboro disappeared with the destruction of Koukawa village, only Koukawa Asuka was ever recovered, but otherwise the clan left no survivors. Gosha, learned the act was performed by Nomad or was the result of internal conflict. Asagi that was on good terms with Oboro at the time. She became well known within the Taimanin and grew the Gosha Taimanin stronger, regardless of that large setback the village suffered.

In truth, Koukawa Oboro's body had been taken by Nomad and had been revived with a demonic soul, with her real soul escaping into another host body. This new "Oboro" was now under the control of Nomad.

### Event

One day, Oboro returned and had formed a rogue group of ninja mercenaries called the Oboro Ninja Troops, strengthened by demonic technology. The ONT started to ambush other Taimanin on missions and created traps, resulting in the death or capture of many Taimanin, in only a few years of time. This created enough infamy, that the group became well known in the criminal underworld and at some point the conflict could not be ignored by Japan itself, that saw the Taimanin become weakened in their ability to fight against demons. It was understood by those that fought the ONT, that they worked for Nomad an international cooperation under Edwin Black and the ONT leader Oboro, was more of a pawn working for Nomads interest. However, given the power of Nomad and their connection to the UFS, which had power over Japanese policy, Nomad itself could not be targeted.

Oboro became known as the Traitor Taimanin and the head of the Igawa clan, Igawa Asagi was sent out to kill her. Oboro had completely shifted her personality and once more had set up an ambush for Asagi, which came alone. However, Asagi's skill outclassed Oboro in any direct confrontation by far. Oboro, was killed quickly and left on the rooftops of Tokyo, together with the entire dead ONT ambush team.

### Post Event

Nomad and Edwin Black, as the masterminds, did avoid any serious loss and remained untouched afterward. Asagi would then, against the wishes of the Taimanin and Igawa Elders leadership, retire with her boyfriend Sawaki Kyousuke, for the next 3 years.

Oboro, which was dying at the time, was kept alive thanks to Edwin Black and her demonic cells. She was once more modified by the Nomad scientist Fürst, which gave her an ability to control others movements. Oboro that had been "demonized" became even more twisted and her hatred against Asagi specifically grew even more. Oboro was later used to lure Asagi into a trap during the events of the Chaos Arena.

## Trivia

* The conflict is part of normal, Action and TABA timelines but did not happen in the ZERO Universe. In which neither the Koukawa Massacre nor Oboro Ninja Troops formation occurred.
* The event is never mentioned and contradicts some of the dates, in Taimanin RPGX and together with the **ONT Conflict** might have had happened so radically different it is not relevant. This is specially true as Black's most evil actions are done by Teutates in that timeline. Especially the dates between the Massacre given in RPGX and the ONT conflict here, would contradict each other.
* Most Taimanin are not aware of the truth of these events. Oboro is considered to be a traitor, which backstabbed her own clan to survive and joined Nomad for power.
