In the autumn of Konoha's 47th year, blood from the Uchiha Clan Compound stained the moonlight red.
Uchiha Ling hid inside a wooden crate, listening to her clanmates scream as she watched the black-cloaked figure, Uchiha Itachi, walk by. She thought she would be the next to die
Until the "Rogue Ninja Survival System" sounded in her mind: "Emergency mission: escape the compound within 15 minutes. Reward: Wood Release."
Overnight, she went from an overlooked orphan in a branch family of the Uchiha to an S-rank rogue ninja wanted throughout Konoha.
"A 50-million-ryo bounty? Just because I have Wood Release?"
The wooden spikes sprouting from her fingertips are both weapons for her escape and keys to uncovering the truth:
Why did Itachi massacre his clan? Why did the System choose her? What secrets lie in the history of Wood Release and the Uchiha?
Bearing the identity of an S-rank rogue ninja, Uchiha Ling pushes forward through the cracks of the shinobi world:
"I want to survive, and I want to drag the truth behind the Uchiha Clan Massacre out of the darkness."
