Choji Akimichi is certainly not what we would call a perfect ninja. He himself is aware of this fact, but he had never really worried about it. That is, until the death of his master Asuma opened his eyes and brought out all his insecurities to the world. It's precisely because of his fragility and lack of cold blood, that Choji is put in front of a test, the last, to prove to his superiors, and especially to himself, that he still deserves to be a ninja servant of Konoha. First thing first, this is a story I wrote back in 2017 in Italian. After a couple of years of hesitation, I finally decided to translated it in English. I hope I did a good job at least with the translation ^_^ So, this is a mystery novel, narrated in the first person, starring Choji Akimichi. Why Choji? Because he's my favorite character of Naruto and beyond. Why in first person? Because I wanted to identify myself with him (in some aspects, I already have something in common with Choji) and give him a bit of introspection. Why a mystery novel? Because I love the "whodunit" stories. As long as they're competently written. I don't know if this one falls into the "competently written" side of the spectrum, you'll be the judge eventually. Still, I tried to build a cohesive mystery, with different suspects, clues, plot twists and foreshadowing, the kind of hints hidden between the lines, that would make an eventual second read fun. ...well, that's all I have to say for now. I wish you to have a nice time with my story :)

The bandages that covered his face in life have fallen away, all incinerated and hanging loosely around his neck. His face is completely destroyed. Unrecognizable. The skin covering his face is no longer there, all having melted away. His blood vessels have all burst, his nerves have fried along with the majority of his muscles. His jaw opens and closes a little bit. His eyes bore into me. They're large and round and completely accusing. His teeth are covered in bits of burnt muscle. I feel my heart thudding in my chest. He steps closer, closer. His bone gleams in the dim light. As he closes in on me, a pounding noise begins ringing through my ears. My heart beat- ba-dum. Ba-dum. Ba-dum. It looked like he had been tossed into a fryer, fried alive, and he had been. By me. I did this to someone. I killed someone's team mate, someone's son. I killed someone's important person. -- Kimiko Kioku, a memory keeper. Never forgets anything, always notices, from the exact way the wind blew her hair against her face to coloring with her brother at five to the lullaby her mother would sing to her as she rocked her when she was not even a year old. She remembers. She remembers the blood, the glassy, clouded over eyes her brother had as he said his last words. She remembers the very first person she killed. She remembers how abandoned she feels, and how everything always feels like it's falling apart at the seams. (Can you say 'worst summary ever to exist'? Okay, maybe not that bad. But still pretty bad.)
