Kaoru Takime is reborn into the harsh world of shinobi, carrying fragmented memories of a life from another world. But in this life, he’s no ordinary boy—he inherits the Takime Clan’s long-lost Kekkei Genkai. ❗What to expect: * I will upload 2 new chapters every day until we reach at least 50, then ill upload at least 4 chapters each week. Each 2000+ words. * There will be lots of fights, drama, and bloody scenes. I dislike overly happy endings and prefer when characters are not guaranteed to survive encounters. * Kaoru won't be OP right away ( he might become very strong in the end, but dont expect overwhelming strength in the beginning). He will slowly become stronger. * The MC won’t be a heroic or altruistic type. However, he will develop genuine bonds with both canon and new characters and some of those bonds might be so important that he would be willing to risk his life. * There might be (most likely) romance later on, but only if it feels like a natural progression of his relationship with an opposite-gender character. There will not be a harem. * I’ll respect canon characters and their personalities. That said, as the story progresses, I’ll introduce more original elements and may even alter or remove important events from the Naruto storyline. This is because the MC won’t prioritize preserving the original timeline. * I’ll involve readers in the story. I plan to create polls so you can vote on certain details—both big and small—as we move forward.
