Reito Tsu is unremarkable as far as ninjas go, except for the fact that he was declared missing in action almost five years ago. After showing up on Konoha's doorstep, covered in wounds and experiencing an inexplicable phenomenon, the villagers want answers about his mysterious disappearance, and so does he. Unfortunately, Reito has no memory of where he has been, and the people he once knew are gone. With the help of his teammates and some familiar faces, Reito must build a new life for himself in a village that now fears him, master his strange new abilities, and become strong enough to uncover the truth about what happened to him and his friends.

About the author

An aspiring author working on bringing his creative/crazy ideas to life. T.J. surprised himself by writing his first novel during the pandemic. Since then, he has been honing his craft by creating "unusually original" fanfics, which (he hopes) read like real sequels/spinoffs to the franchises that so many of us know and love. Can he translate what he has learned into creating original works of his own? Watch this space.
