Naruto: Starting as a Rogue Ninja, I Dominate the Ninja World

Ling Ye, a genius young shinobi from Konoha, bears the sealed ancient Kekkei Genkai known as Chaos Release. Once a future pillar of strength whom Konoha was grooming with special care, he becomes an S-rank missing-nin after accidentally stumbling upon the dark schemes of Danzo's Root, and the entire village hunts him down.

Driven into a desperate corner, Ling Ye breaks part of the seal inside him and awakens the rudimentary form of Chaos Release. With ninjutsu talent and combat smarts far beyond those of his peers, he repeatedly escapes the encirclement of Konoha's pursuers, struggling to survive in the cracks of the shinobi world.

He travels through the hidden places of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, meeting like-minded companions and deadly enemies alike. He exposes the hypocrisy and ambition of the villages' leaders, breaks the shackles of hatred that have bound the shinobi world for a century, and, as a missing-nin, stands against the authority of the Five Great Shinobi Villages.
