Naruto: Just an Average Ninja

YuuWand
The ninja world, spanning all four directions, has witnessed over fifty large-scale wars throughout history. Right and wrong, truth and falsehood—these are hard to untangle. Yet historians unanimously note that it was on those ancient battlefields that the rise and fall of countless ninja clans were decided. Thus, since time immemorial, the saying has held true: “The victor becomes king, the vanquished a mere bandit.” Back in the day, the First Hokage led the skilled ninja of Konoha, splitting his forces into three prongs to converge on the Land of Fire. Marching north with righteous might, he waged war against the Hidden Rock, Hidden Sand, and Hidden Cloud, securing a resounding victory! On the very next day, with the restoration of the Land of Fire’s entirety, the other nations saw the tide had turned irretrievably against them and surrendered one after another. Thirty years ago, I set out from the Hidden Leaf Village, embarking on the Second Great Ninja War. With nothing more than ordinary ninjutsu, I conquered every foe in my path. Wherever I went, the people welcomed me with open hearts. Truly, I had seized the favor of heaven itself! That vibrant vitality, that realm where all things vied to burst forth in splendor—it still lingers before my eyes. I don’t understand why everyone keeps talking about Uchiha Madara being trapped in the Valley of the End, as if this ancient battlefield of the ninja world has doomed us to calamity. Could it be that, in a mere thirty years, this place has transformed into my burial ground?

Scions of the Cruel King

In Scions of the Cruel King, the Targaryen family drama is in full swing. After Aegon’s death, Aenys took the throne, but things quickly went south. Aenys wasn’t exactly a strong leader, and it didn’t take long before the Faith rose up against him. That’s when Maegor stepped in—furious and out for blood after the murder of Eleana. He crushed the rebellion with an iron fist. When Aenys died under some pretty shady circumstances, Maegor took over as king. But even though he was ruthless, the Faith remained a thorn in his side right up until his own brutal end in 48 A.L. Now, the story kicks off in 56 A.L., and the Targaryens are still in hot water. Jaehaerys, Aenys’s son, is holding down the fort as regent for his young cousin Vaegyl, Maegor’s son. The realm is a mess, full of uprisings and political scheming. Jaehaerys and his allies, like Gerold Westerling, are doing their best to keep the peace, but they don’t realize that Westerling and Ser Tybolt Lannister have their own plans. They’re secretly plotting to put Westerling’s grandson, Aegon, on the throne. As Vaegyl gets closer to coming of age, things start heating up. Old loyalties are questioned, hidden secrets come to light, and the shadow of Maegor’s brutal reign still hangs over everything. The fight for the Iron Throne is just beginning, and it’s going to get messy. If you’re into stories packed with power struggles, betrayals, and the Targaryens fighting for control of the Seven Kingdoms, Scions of the Cruel King is right up your alley.
