Pain! It hurts so much! Qin Lanfeng transmigrates into the chaotic era of the Naruto world, hoping to live a quiet life with his childhood sweetheart, Yingchuan Luo, on the border of the Land of Rain. But war sweeps over them, destroys their home, and leaves his beloved dead in his arms.
In his unbearable grief, he awakens the power of Ruin and becomes the Ruined King, a figure who walks in darkness. With destruction as his blade and obsession as his backbone, he vows to make the entire ninja world pay for its blood debt.
The Masked Man arrives with the Infinite Tsukuyomi, using “reuniting with Luo” as bait to draw him in. When the Akatsuki is first formed, he crosses paths with Nagato, Yahiko, and Konan as a stranger.
He keeps his eye on the Rinnegan as he seeks to revive Luo, while lying low in the darkness, neither blindly following the Eye of the Moon Plan nor yielding to the order imposed by this chaotic age.
The world fears him, hates him, and curses him, but he holds fast to just one vow:
Everything will eventually fall to ruin, until she returns to my arms.
