Cashile Kuroki is alone. No family, and no friends. Not exactly hated, just.... ignored. Just how she likes it. She's viewed as reckless and ambitious, but she's always in control. Every move is calculated, every person is observed. She controls people, her "friends", her life. Yet, there's the mystery: why does she care for her selfish ambitions alone? Why is she bent on proving that she can be the best by herself? Will she ever learn to give up her act of strength, and trust? Or will she fall, the cause of her own destruction? Genius only goes so far, and the flaws and frailties will eventually catch up to her. The act of strength is, after all, only an act.

After years of being kept in the dark of her past and of her family, Kari Yamada finally knows the truth. However, there's something still missing, something detrimental to gain the peace she strives to find. With the Akatsuki breathing down hers and the Shinobi world's necks, her desire for peace is beginning to look like a bleak venture. With her goal of learning the truth and becoming a stronger Shinobi reached, it's now up to Kari to pursue a new goal: protecting the bonds formed over the years, and protecting the home she's grown to love. 𝐬𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐀𝐂𝐊 © Naruto • Masashi Kishimoto © Bonds of Fate • nicevibe
