Ninja Magic & Stabby Things (Announcement)

Here's another story concept that I plotted but never wrote

“I fuckin’ hate that Naruto kid.”

Kaji remembers enough to know that’s probably a bad idea.

That much stuck the hard landing into his second life as a ninja.

"But he's soooooo annoyin' tho!"

No perfect timeline. No secret plan. No convenient list of every future disaster. Just scraps: something about a giant fox, the blond idiot, something about frogs, and the sick feeling that his life is closer to a meat grinder than anyone wants to admit.

Kaji is not on Team 7.

He is not talented.

He is not prepared.

He's just another dead-last assigned to an assassination squad because someone decided a sturdy idiot made good bait. Just one more brat in a village full of them being sharpened into weapons.

Then the universe starts rewarding him for not dying when he should have.

And that, as it turns out, is the loudest mistake he could have made.
