Cashile Kuroki has discovered the Frailty of Genius, the shortcomings of prodigious talent, the weakness that comes with strength. Standing alone she fell, with no one to catch her as she hit the ground. Now the question is whether or not she can grow back from her own failure, find resilience in the weakness, foster the power that comes with those who care... And discover The Strength of Humanity. This is the sequel to our first book, The Frailty of Genius.

Warning: This is Book 3! Read: 'You're not the only one...' and 'You are the only one...' before proceeding. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Cover made by: deliriouslyweird ------------------------------------------------------------------- Ruka Kiyomizu Hatake had experienced many things in her life. She experienced the emotion of love, she experienced the feeling of pain, she experienced the torture of loneliness, and she even had her fair share of what betrayal felt like. However, there was one thing she had yet to experience, despite it beginning to loom so close and strike fear within the heart's of the Shinobi world as we know it. War. You watched her as a 12 year adolescent struggling with maintaining her feelings and strive to burst free of her bubble of shyness and depression. You watched her as a 16 year old teenager struggling to fight with love for another and her suicidal thoughts/actions. Now, you will watch her as a 17 year old woman struggling to protect her loved ones in the upcoming war that is bringing forth unexpected deaths and even worst suffering. To make matters worst, "Madara" Uchiha has quite a few tricks up his sleeves, one that could lead to the complete extinction of the Kiyomizu clan. The war gets bloodier and more brutal with each occurring death and as she watches the people around her die, Ruka can't help but wonder if she'll be next. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I'm scared" I muttered quietly. Naruto frowned and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me to his chest. "I'll protect you with my life, I promise." "Don't promise that" I said, tears slowly streaming down my cheeks "you saw what happen to....him....you and I both know that-" "That what?" "That I'm not gonna come out of this war alive."

Strength. Something every person wanted to achieve. You would do anything for strength, right? There is only two ways strength can be used. It can be used to hurt, or to protect. Which would you chose? (Y/N) Hatake is the adopted daughter of Kakashi Hatake, the Copy Ninja. She strives to become as strong as her father and will go through as much training as she needs to achieve that strength. Naruto Uzumaki was (Y/N)'s best friend. They would stick together through everything. As the two get older with each other, the title 'Best Friend' leads to something more. Then, that title leads to something even bigger. This is a story about how love could always overpower strength, no matter how strong you may be. Love and war always go together. They're the peaks of human emotion. Evil, good, and ugliness. ~This is based off of the manga, so if you only watch anime, that's why it's a tad different in some places.~ ~Also, In this book Hinata starts to have a crush on Kiba in Shippūden since (Y/N) and Naruto are going to get together. I don't personally ship Kiba X Hinata, but it will make it better for the story.~ ~Most of Shonen Jump is skipped. Nothing ramntic really happens since they're just kids. I'm sorry, but Sasuke leaving the village is not included. Nothing really happens between Naruto and (Y/N) in that part. Shippūden won't be skipped, don't worry. I hope this isn't too much trouble, but anyways, enjoy!~ ========== -I do want to say that I may or may of not copied some moves from other animes that I have watched.
