This work is a fan fiction of the popular Japanese manga series, Naruto, written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto, and is loosely based on a particular video game called Naruto Shippuden: Dragon Blade Chronicles. Most, but not all, characters and story elements belong to him, while some are original creations of my own. Please support the official release.
The story is set in the future of the Boruto series, shortly after Boruto's fight with Kawaki and the village has been mostly rebuilt.
The story revolves around my original character, Kadō, and his ties with an ancient legend; creatures called Genryū, dragons of different elements. These beasts of old have appeared once again, threatening the ninja world, with their awesome power. Kadō trains to master his unique powers over the Shadow Style of jutsu. Along with his team of Boruto Uzumaki, Sarada Uchiha, and Mitsuki, they will learn the truth of the long, forgotten history of the dragons, discovering the reason for their sudden revival after thousands of years.
A ragtag gang of teens teams up with a neighboring girl gang when a major cartel moves into town, threatening their families, their turf, and the community they've worked so hard to protect.
*****
Cash West formed the Seven 20s - a gang of six overzealous teens with guns - to keep his tiny, crime-infested town in nowhere California safe. His methods are unorthodox and frankly illegal, but the town loves his Robin Hood heroics. However, the gang gets more than they bargained for when the Mendoza cartel rolls into town, determined to knock them off the map. As the threat hits closer to home, Cash has no choice but to team up with his ex-girlfriend Tiana's neighboring girl gang, the Hearts of Spades. Soon allies become enemies, families get trapped in the crossfire, and romance brews as Cash fights to unravel a massive conspiracy that puts everyone that matters to him at risk. When the stakes are life and death, will the gangs be able to overcome an enemy more powerful than any of them could have predicted?
