"Alone. Ruthless. Unstoppable.
Hanako is twelve, yet she carries the weight of power centuries in the making. Born of a legacy she does not yet understand, with crimson eyes that pierce the darkness, she survives in a world that fears her. She steals, she hunts, she kills-but only the wicked. Morality guides her hand where society has failed.
But power, no matter how hidden, does not go unnoticed. When elite shinobi from the Hidden Leaf come to capture her, Hanako is forced into a reality she has never known-a village of order, rules, and watchful eyes. Confined in the Hokage's care, restrained and observed, she is faced with a choice she has never been offered: trust, guidance, and the chance to channel her incredible strength under the watchful eye of those who govern the world she has evaded.
And somewhere deep within her, a past she cannot remember whispers, waiting for the moment when her true heritage will awaken, and with it, a power that could reshape nations.
In a world where strength is measured by loyalty, legacy, and control, Hanako must navigate morality and survival, freedom and destiny. Every choice comes at a cost, and every ally-or enemy-shapes the fate of the girl who refuses to belong.
