Naruto: The White Spider of the Leaf
A young boy is mysteriously reincarnated into the world of Naruto and arrives in the Hidden Leaf Village with the memories of his past life intact. But when he's only 8 years old, his parents, outsiders who had hoped for a peaceful life in the village, are tragically killed during a trip outside the hidden leaf's walls when their son is still young. Now left as an orphan, Shirokumo enters the Ninja Academy with little more than his wits and a strong determination to survive.
To be quite frank, life in the academy is anything but easy. As an outsider, Shirokumo faces scorn and ridicule from both his peers and teachers who see him as nothing more than an unwanted orphan. Even worse, his lack of natural talent makes him seem destined to fail as a ninja.
Who would care for someone like that?
And to make matters even more dire, Shirokumo soon realizes the time period he's been born into: the Second Great Shinobi War is on the horizon, and he has all but five or so years to prepare for it. He realizes this because he's in the same class as a young Namikaze Minato, which means he's likely to be swept into the horrors of war at an age when he should be enjoying his childhood.
No Talent
No High-Standing Family Background
No Cheat Skills
No System
How will Shirokumo survive all on his own in this cruel world of Shinobi?
Read along to see him become the White Spider of the Leaf!
(P.S. Weak-to-Strong MC and No Harem, I'll be taking my time with developing him so don't expect a character that is gonna be broken from the get go. This will be a slow burner, and if that doesn't strike your fancy you can move along to the next webnovel.)
Mandatory 5.0 Star Review from the Author here! Hello, dear reader! I do so hope you'll enjoy this little tale I've got brewing here~ It's a rewrite of a fanfic I started like 3-4 years ago that I dropped and more recently deleted because I had planned on returning to it. Today is the day I do exactly that! It's a fun story concept, really, so I wanna explore it a bit in my free time now. I have a lot of stuff planned for it, and I'm sure you'll find it quite enjoyable! I will repeat myself in the review too though, this is a story of a Weak-To-Strong protagonist and there will not be a Harem. There are no Cheats or Systems in this story, though depending on how it develops I might allow the protagonist to acquire something to work as a little Buff. He will need to contend with Ninja Jesus level characters down the line after all. But we shall see when we get there of course. I'll make my decision based on how he ends up evolving. Regardless, for the most part we've just got Good Ol' Shirokumo struggling to stay afloat in the ninja world! So have fun with him! :) And if that doesn't strike your fancy, don't even bother with my fic! :D P.S. I've stockpiled on some chapters in advance, so if you're reading this message at the start of the novel, you can expect a good amount of updates coming in daily :)
Haven't read the novel but just the no harem tag makes me give it a 5 star rating. I wonder who the fmc will be and is Author San ready to break cannon. Another win for the no harem sect
