And So It Is (Shippuden era AU)

Izanami Akiyama; a Kunoichi from the Leaf in search of the only person who could explain who she is. Her village resents her. And so it is.

Follow the journey to the Fourth Great Shinobi War in this AU I created.
Takes place in Shippuden after Pain/Pein killing Jiraiya, and before the 4th Great Shinobi War. I give a brief overview of the MC's life in the first two chapters and will have some flashbacks to her upbringing throughout the rest of the fic.

HOW IS IT DIFF THAN THE MAIN PLOT?:
When Pain offed himself to save the Leaf, Sasuke had killed Danzo, which angered the Leaf when he came back. He was an unexpected change in their focus, and for a while he was sought after as a Rogue Ninja.

He was then caught without being killed as ordered by the 5Th Hokage and his actions were explained in full- including the bits about Itachi and the 3rd Hokage- but his anger and disappointment with the Leaf is still unsettled. Meaning, even though was no longer an outlaw & is back training with Team 7 & he has no idea why the Leaf let everything happen the way it did. Will still be angsty and angry to everyone.
Tobi is yet to be caught, though all *known* data on him has been shared with all of the Shinobi during the Five Kage summit, where he actually snuck in using spore cells hidden on Danzo's body that were carried in on Sasuke without his knowledge. (oof)
this is all before chapter 1, okay? 😭

TRIGGER WARNINGS WILL BE IN EACH CHAPTER SUMMARY IN ORDER TO HELP YOU AVOID SENSITIVE TOPICS/SCENES. I will not be doing in-depth descriptions of anything, but I know it is hard to recognize sensitive topics sometimes
