Ayame Uchiha never asked to be special. Her clan is gone, her name carries a weight she doesn't fully understand, and all she wants is a chance to live as a shinobi. But life in the village isn't simple. The Uchiha name follows her everywhere, and the power inside her is harder to hide each day. Becoming a kunoichi might give her purpose... or it might break her completely. 🏅 3rd Place Winner - NWA Awards Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, its characters, or any part of the original world created by Masashi Kishimoto.
