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.

(HIGHEST RATING: #1 in Naruto) "Sairen are known for being incredibly aggressive and protective when the time calls for it. Back when the Third Shinobi War was going on, the Sairen were the clan that everyone tried their damn best to avoid. They were the ones that gave the Bloody mist such a bad reputation, the ones that fueled fear into the hearts of their enemies. The Sairen clan are ruthless and bloodthirsty when fighting.-" Asuma shakes his head and takes out a cigarette, lights it, and takes a drag before continuing. "They are just as, if not more formidable than the Uchiha. Specializing in sound-induced Genjutsu that will immobilize and kill you within moments, they're terrifying. They can kill you in an instant. If you hear even the song of a bird or the sound of a cricket, you can already be royally screwed, for you have no clue if it's nature making the sounds or a Sairen. The key is? You have to find them before they find you. otherwise you don't stand a bloody chance against them. It's like a trap you see. One Sairen will sing, while the other will sneak up behind and kill you before you can react. -" Asuma lets out a humourless laugh as he watched Shizukana and Hikaru dodge a water Jutsu. " Try and cover your ears? You can no longer sense them, or hear them coming. In which they can silently come in and kill you. Unless you're an Uchiha, Hyuuga, or Sensor Ninja, there's almost no way to escape. Sairen are marked as 'flee on sight' In the bingo book for a reason kid, *laughs* that's if you can run away before they catch you.-" ((Completed: April, 27th, 2018.)) _______________________________________________________ I do not own Naruto, and I do not own and Media or pictures that I may put on my book unless stated otherwise.

(SEQUEL TO "SILENCE IS A DEADLY THING") Two years have passed since the day of her trial Two years have passed since she revealed her secret to her closest friends. Two years since her clan divided into the hand full that hated her, and the rest that supported her. Two years is a long time for a Shinobi like Shizukana Sairen. She has grown to be formidable, and much like her skills, her life has gone from being weak to being something worthwhile. Still, she thought she was done, thought that her suffering from the years prior were over and done with. How terribly terribly wrong she was. Her suffering has only just begun.
