Naruto: Veil of Frozen Bones

[A Naruto Fan Fiction - Self-Insert OC] They say life gives you lemons. I got dropped into hell with ghost-white skin, eyes that scream 'target', and the potential for power that paints an even bigger one on my back. This world runs on blood, lies, and chakra. Child soldiers are the norm, peace is a prelude to the next massacre, and gods walk among mortals, ready to prune the timeline. My knowledge of the future is a flickering candle in a hurricane – useful, perhaps, but more likely to burn me alive. Survival isn't about friendship or ideals here. It's about control. Control of chakra, control of information, control of the monsters hiding inside and out. It's about becoming strong enough that even fate has to blink. Forget destiny. Forget heroes. This is about clawing tooth and nail through the wreckage of a preordained future, just to see another sunrise. This second life isn't a gift. It's a sentence. And I intend to survive it. What to Expect: [Calculated Progression]: Strength isn't given, it's seized. The MC leverages knowledge and desperation to climb from vulnerable child to formidable power, facing realistic setbacks and limitations. [Focused Narrative]: Follows the protagonist's perspective closely. The pace reflects the meticulous planning and gradual unfolding of events necessary for survival and manipulation. [Brutal Realism]: Combat is deadly, consequences are permanent. Explores the grim realities of the shinobi world – espionage, political maneuvering, psychological tolls, and the cheapness of life. [Altered World]:A different time-line from the original naruto. [Explored Mechanics]: Delves into the intricacies of chakra, Kekkei Genkai development, techniques and many others. Includes original concepts. DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto or its associated characters and settings. Original characters and plot deviations are my own creation.
