This has honestly become one of my favorite stories to follow on here. From reading the other reviews here, I can see that its style is perhaps not for everyone, because as far as Naruto fan fictions go, this one is fairly unique, but I feel what sets it apart are also its strengths. This can be considered a rather slow-paced kingdom building-type novel. The MC is the leader of Kusagakure, a minor ninja nation of little importance in the grand scheme of things. He's fairly wise and resourceful, and we follow him as he slowly improves his nation's situation and standing step by step. You really feel like you're cheering for the underdog here. Another important facet of the story is that it approaches everything with a note of light-heartedness and humor, a rather quirky take on Naruto that calls back to the early days of the series and is in contrast to the vast majority of fanfictions out there. You won't find a fight, big or small, more than every few chapters or so, and mostly it's just very character-centered and -driven scenes, so if you go into it with the wrong expectations of constant action and the like, I can see how you would be off-put. Nonetheless, I would implore everyone to give this one a shot, as I really think that during its run, the novel comes into its own and creates a likeable cast of characters that the story revolves around, and in favor of which some flaws can be overlooked. I really think this is one of the most sincerely unique Naruto fanfics, and certainly a breath of fresh air for me. I binged through it and have been looking forward to the consistent new releases ever since.
