Naruto: Scarlet Sandstorm

He died on a C-rank mission. At least, that’s what everyone thought. In reality—he was reborn. In the world of “Naruto.” In the body of a boy from Sunagakure. And not just any boy, but the future son-in-law of the Kazekage. Now his name is Kagero, and by local canon he’s supposed to be weak, forgettable, and die early. He has other plans. He’s no weakling—he’s a former fan of the original who knows how the story unfolds. He won’t die on schedule; he’ll rewrite the script step by step. He won’t back down in love, even if his rival is Nara Shikamaru himself. He didn’t choose his family, but now he’s raising two relentless stepbrothers so they grow up not as psychopaths, but as heroes. The road will be hard: prejudice, intrigue, war… But at his back blows the desert wind. And in his eyes—fire. This isn’t the tale of a great hero, but of a stubborn kid who refused to be background noise. As crimson dust rises over the village, he walks forward. Against everyone. Against fate.
