Naruto: The Ghost in the Rain

CultSlayer
Kagerō was never meant to survive. Born into a cold, sterile ward in Amegakure, he awoke with nothing. No powerful clan, no bloodline limit, no destined fate. His first memories were of pain, his veins burning with an unknown poison, his chakra corrosive and broken beyond repair. He was an experiment, a failure discarded in the shadows of a war-torn village. But failure is only final when you accept it. With nothing but his mind, Kagerō refuses to become another forgotten corpse in the rain. Where others rely on fate, he relies on science, study, and relentless ingenuity. He dissects jutsu, rewrites chakra principles, and builds his power from the ground up, not through shortcuts or gifts, but through sheer, brutal intelligence. As the Third Shinobi War rages, he walks a fine line between survival and discovery. If power can be inherited, it can also be engineered. Kagerō was born with nothing. But if he has his way, he will leave his mark on history, not as a chosen warrior, not as a legend, but as the shinobi who built his own power from nothing. No cheats. No fate. Just skill, intellect, and the will to rise.

The Greatest king

In the vast Nazare Blade Empire, ruled with an iron hand by Emperor Groa Aratat, there existed eight princes, each striving for recognition and power. Among them was Josh Aratat, the most obscure and least acknowledged of the emperor’s sons. Born of a mother who passed away when he was just a child, Josh grew up in the shadows of his more celebrated brothers, his heart burdened with loss and his life marked by solitude. One fateful day, Emperor Groa decreed a challenge: each of his sons was to venture into separate regions of the empire, conquer them, and win the loyalty of their people. The prince who demonstrated the greatest strength, strategy, and ability to amass supporters would be crowned the imperial prince—the heir to the throne. The empire buzzed with speculation. Most believed the title would go to the mighty firstborn, Balek Aratat, renowned for his unparalleled strength. Others placed their bets on the cunning second-born, Jaden Aratat, or the skilled third-born, Gerard Aratat. Few gave any thought to the younger sons, particularly the sixth to eighth—Josh included. In their eyes, he was merely a shadow, unworthy of mention in the race for the throne. But everything changed when Josh encountered a dying man, condemned to execution for the crime of stealing bread. Wracked with despair and tired of his own existence, Josh made a startling decision—he offered to take the man’s place, embracing what he thought would be his end. Yet, in an unexpected twist of fate, death did not claim him. Instead, Josh emerged from the ordeal with a newfound power—an extraordinary ability granted as a result of his selfless act. This gift would not only alter the course of his life but also shake the foundations of the Nazare Blade Empire and the world beyond.
