'The Wind and the Cranes' was a period drama about the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. The story took place in South City, an ancient city famous for its silk industry. The Yao family and the Zhang family were the two biggest silk merchants in South City. The Yao family's Tianzhang silk was their ancestral property, while the Zhang family dreamed of defeating the Yao family and becoming the leader of the Jiangnan silk industry. Under the threat of the Japanese invasion forces on the Chinese textile market, Yao Tianzhang created high-quality and cheap silk fabrics in order to hold up the banner of Chinese silk. They were sold all over the world and became popular in the market. The drama also involved the emotional entanglement between the second young master of the Yao family, Boya, and the famous actress Mei Ling in Jiangnan. The entire plot was filled with the magnificent feeling of a great era.

The MC transmigrates into Narutoverse in the body of a civilian orphan. Luckily for him, the transmigration results in chakra being unlocked. Follow the story of the MC as he grows in power and stabilizes himself into the world of ninjas and trains to be the strongest.  Warning :  1. The MC won't be op for a long time. All his power would be gained via hard work and training over years (so if u want an op mc right from the word go, this one ain't for you) 2. No harem (probably no romance either) 3. There will be a lot of killing (maybe gore too, not sure if I can do gore right though) 4. The story will start slow. Quite a few of initial chapters will be around training, orphanage and academy life, instead of directly becoming a Genin. 5. MC is a careful person, he won't put his life at risk unless there is no other choice. 6. I haven't read (nor will be reading) Baruto. So Baruto plotline won't be considered much in here. What to expect : 1. Smart and consistent MC  2. Lots of training 3. MC manipulating the plot to his advantage 4. A lot of original arcs.  5. Plot will mostly stay the same (at least till Shippuden), but I won't repeat any scenes/dialogues that took place in the manga (as I'm assuming you've already read it). Disclaimer : I don't own Naruto or its characters (except the original characters I create). The image used in the cover isn't mine and belongs to R. J PS : It's my first fanfic, I'm hoping it turns out good. All reviews and constructive criticisms are welcome. Grammar and English should be fine, but I'm not sure how good the dialogues and scenarios will be. Hopefully I'll improve as this fanfic progresses forward.

Poetry about cranes

Cranes were elegant birds that often appeared in literature and art. Here are some poems related to cranes: 1 A poem written by Lin Daiyu to Jia Baoyu in Dream of the Red Chamber: "Two curved eyebrows that seem to be knitted, but not knitted, and a pair of eyes that seem to be happy, but not happy, full of love." The sorrow of the two dimples in the face of the beauty of the whole body. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she was panting slightly. When idle and quiet, she is like a beautiful woman, and when she moves, she is like a weak man. Further more wingspan, a thousand words, eyebrows, one word." 2 In Bai Juyi's " Fu De Gu Yuan Cao Farewell " of the Tang Dynasty, it was written: " The grass on the plains withers and thrives every year. The wildfire never ends, and the spring breeze blows, it grows again. The far-off fragrance encroaches on the ancient road, the clear green connecting the deserted city. And send the prince to the lush garden to bid farewell." Among them, the phrase " Wild fire can't burn, spring wind blows, and it grows again " depicted the tenacious vitality of cranes. 3 Yuan Zhen's " The Fourth of the Five Thoughts of Separation " wrote: " It is difficult to find water after passing through the sea, but it is not a cloud except for Wu Mountain. I'm lazy to look back at the flowers. I'm half-bound to cultivate Taoism and half-bound to you." Among them, the "take time" in the "take time flowers lazy review" referred to the crane often staying between the flowers and not lingering. In Cao Xueqin's " Dream of the Red Chamber " from the Qing Dynasty, it was written that Jia Baoyu saw a white crane in the Grand View Garden and sighed," Crane, oh crane! You are so noble, so elegant, so free." These poems displayed the beauty, tenacity, aloofness, and freedom of cranes, which made people deeply love and respect cranes.

The way cranes sleep

When cranes slept or rested, they stood up. They usually stood on the ground with one foot and retracted the other to rest. After a while, they would put down the other foot to replace it. This was because cranes had many natural enemies and had to be highly vigilant. If they were to lie down and sleep, they would not be able to escape in time. Moreover, their legs were long and thin, and they could not bear the weight of their bodies for a long time. This method of sleeping on one foot did not make them feel tired, and they could quickly put down one foot when danger came, spread their wings, and fly away to escape from danger. At the same time, it was also a good way to save energy consumption and help regulate body temperature. " Fairy Dream of Tang Shi: Fate of Peony " is equally wonderful.
