Naruto: The Prodigy from Sunagakure

Rasa Watashi, a registered Genin of Sunagakure. His parents are both dead, and he receives three kilos of relief food each month.

He has another identity, too: a product manager who suddenly died at his desk.

After transmigrating into the Naruto world fifteen years ago, Rasa wanted nothing more than to live like a lazy fish: eat hot pot, sleep in, and sunbathe in the desert. He carefully fashioned himself into an "unremarkable dead last," never revealing his true strength and refusing to get involved in anything troublesome.

But Fate, the product manager, was clearly more fond of changing requirements than his former boss had been.

The Chunin Ninja Exams, Konoha. He was only there to make up the numbers and, while he was at it, enjoy the hot pot he'd been longing for over fifteen years. But Orochimaru had his eye on Rasa's chakra, Uchiha Itachi saw the shadow of an old acquaintance in him, and the Two-Tails, Matatabi, showed up to say, "Your chakra is so pure, like the Sage of Six Paths."

Rasa said, "I'm just an ordinary person who transmigrated here by accident. I'm nobody's hidden trump card, and I have no special destiny."

No one believed him.

From Konoha's destruction to the rise of the Akatsuki, from Pain's invasion to the Fourth Shinobi World War, he found himself getting busier and busier. He had no time to open a hot pot restaurant, no time to sleep, and not even a moment to slack off in peace.

And the little girl from the Hyuga Clan, who ate dango in an alley, used a hot pot meal to steer his lazy-fish life onto a completely different path.

This isn't the story of a genius. It's the story of an ordinary person who took two lifetimes to learn how to protect the people who needed protecting.

"If I can lie down, I'll never stand. But when it's time to step up, nobody's going to make me fall."

Female lead: Hanabi Hyuga. The little girl who would line up before dawn to buy dango, practice swishing food in hot pot at home with boiling water, and say, "You have to come back alive."
