Chise Sakamoto is a traveler. She doesn't belong to any village or any clan. She is simply a regular traveler searching for the meaning of life. She's been since she was 5. Right about when her family, who all lived in secret up in a mountain, never came home one night and disappeared. Believing that they had abandoned her, she decided she really had no reason to live.

One day, as she travels through a forest she has no idea about, playing her ukulele she comes across a village, Konoha. Village Hidden in the Leaves. Of course, she's dragged there and forced into becoming a villager as well as attend the local ninja academy, although Chise doesn't really need that. Which you will find out later. There, she meets a lot of different people, one in which she comes to love. As she begins to discover the meaning of life, she grows into a ninja that nobody will mess with, she might even find out the real reason her family left her and where they went.

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.

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.
