Average: Life of a Regular Shinobi
Prologue
A rather large village sits near the center of the country of fire, aptly named Konohagakure for it is surrounded by lush forests that happen to have the handy side effect of helping out the shinobi that live there.
Yes, shinobi. And not just normal shinobi, either. No, this village seems to spawn the greatest of legends such as Shodai through Godaime Hokage, the Legendary Sannin, The White Fang, Uzumaki Naruto and Uchiha Sasuke.
They have impacted the world greatly since the wheels have turned in the organization known as Akatsuki's plans. Along with Akatsuki, the new and old generation of heroes have left a permanent indent on history. Great battles were fought and many lives sacrificed for the good of the world.
But this story is not about such altruistic intentions. That would be a silly and quite possibly cliche story. Believe it or not, there were regular ninja living in Konoha during the time. Regular people like you and I, though they are capable of more superhuman feats such as cloning themselves and walking on water. They were quite obviously impacted by the devastation going on around them.
The shinobi whose life I'm going to bring you into is not a terribly interesting one. He does not change the overall outcome of the war even slightly and he is not a super powerful person with a broken ability. If you were expecting such a man, there would be no point in reading this story and you may as well read about Uzumaki Naruto. No, this man is just a regular Chuunin in a large village in the midst of the greatest battle in history.
However, by reading this story your knowledge of the larger story will increase, and you may find that his story happens to be the most interesting of all, despite him not being an active part of the war...
