In a world like ours, it's not surprising to see people who exceed human ability. Living weapons, sharpened to a point and readily deployed. An extension of the Hokage's will. The protectors of his people. Ninjas. Deep in my heart, I held nothing but contempt for them. I was young and detained by my destiny.
I had accepted my fate. I didn't dare hope to be saved... but he saved me.
We met in the spring of my youth.
Author's Note: Hi! Just tacking this on to the bottom here to clean up any confusion. Hanakotoba's first "official chapter" (seen above) is more of a short prelude because the text was too long to fit into the story summary. The story itself will be divided into 3 "sections" marked "Daybreak", "Sunset" and "Twilight" which will contain several chapters each.
I haven't really hashed out a set length of each part but I intended for this series to be a short one, as I've just recently gotten back into writing and don't want to burn myself out early on. Due to the fact that I haven't written for a while, my pacing and writing may be a little muddy starting out and for that I apologize.
Thank you for reading Hanakotoba and have a lovely day!
