[Next up: Naruto, "Mikoto Was Scared to Tears by Konoha's Overprotective Men". Please add it to your favorites!]
One day, a piercing scream rang through Honmaru L322.
"L-Little Crow, you... you're a... a woman..."
The newly appointed Saniwa, codenamed Chitose, stared wide-eyed, her trembling finger pointing at the sword tsukumogami Little Crow, whose clothes had slipped halfway off behind the screen.
This sword had only just been added to the game by the government. It was so beautiful, so gorgeous! The Saniwa fell in love at first sight and led the other swords on a search that lasted nearly a whole month before they finally found it. By the end, every blade in the team, herself included, was exhausted and looking haggard.
She'd thought she'd found the man of her dreams, but now...
"Shh, my master." The beautiful, delicate sword tsukumogami gently laid a finger against the Saniwa's lips, her long eyelashes fluttering.
"I'm sorry I hid my real gender from you. I really am a woman. But I still hope you'll keep it a secret for me."
The Saniwa's heart thumped wildly. Her eyes and thoughts were fixed on the sword tsukumogami's dazzling, bewitching face, especially the pleading, pitiful look she wore right now.
What was Little Crow babbling about? I want to kiss her!
"Will you, Master?"
"Yes! Absolutely! Of course!" the Saniwa answered without thinking. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the culprit leave the room.
It's over. She covered her burning red cheeks in despair, feeling as though her soul might float right out of her mouth.
She'd completely fallen for that wicked Little Crow's charms.
She could keep Little Crow's secret, sure, but what about the swords who were always hanging around her?
Another scream rang through the Honmaru.
"How am I supposed to keep this under wraps?!"
"With the Genji brothers and Kogitsunemaru, those three old blades, so cunning and sly, I'll be lucky if they don't trick the clothes right off my back."
"And every other sword in this Honmaru is a centuries-old expert at reading people. How am I supposed to...!"
"Oh, so that's what you think of my younger brother and me?"
A sweet, gentle voice came from behind the Saniwa. Her whole body froze.
"Haha, it's, it's Nii-chan and Hizamaru, haha..."
"You both already knew?"
"Master, actually..." Honest Hizamaru hesitated.
"Hizamaru, don't say anything just yet."
"Yes, big brother."
After saying that, the two of them strolled out, leaving behind a guilt-ridden Saniwa with catlike tears in her eyes.
It wasn't until six months into her job, when she finally had time to browse the Saniwa-only forums, that she discovered everyone, blades included, had known Little Crow's real gender all along. They'd simply kept it unspoken.
...The Saniwa had been played.
"Little Crow! I'm not letting you off the hook! You're doing field duty and horse duty for a whole month!"
If she'd just scrolled a little farther down the forum, she would've found posts from before Little Crow was added to the game.
[Shock! Unknown sword appears in the wilderness.]
[Record of Little Crow's daring raid on a corrupted Honmaru]
[Huge news: Little Crow's secret identity is exposed! A woman among the swords!]
"In short," Little Crow said, looking a little helpless as Hizamaru helped her try on a skirt in the Honmaru. The corners of her lips lifted slightly. Her elder brother really did love dressing her up. "Back then, my life could definitely be described as complete chaos."
Kashuu Kiyomitsu, painting Little Crow's nails nearby, offered an unsympathetic quip.
"In short, it was Little Crow's daily secret-identity exposure."
Warnings:
The old-fashioned woman-disguised-as-a-man trope.
The author's writing skills are limited, so please bear with me. I'll do my best to keep the sword warriors in character and avoid OOC portrayals.
Lastly, I'm not good at writing stories with an overwhelmingly powerful female lead. If the Little Crow I write isn't what you imagined, please leave politely.
There aren't enough stories to read, so I'm making my own. I hope my fellow colleagues enjoy it!
[Pre-release: The melodramatic Mary Sue Naruto fic "Mikoto Was Scared to Tears by Konoha's Overprotective Men"]
Synopsis:
Chikako was one of the mediocre students at the Ninja Academy. With prodigies like Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui among her peers, she felt even more insignificant.
She was sick to death of getting up at dawn and staying out late, throwing kunai in the woods every day! Uchiha Itachi's little brother was always looking down on her and laughing at her, too. She couldn't keep up with the competition anymore. She really couldn't.
On the day of the Chunin Exams, Chikako chose to withdraw, giving up on becoming a ninja and deciding to live as an ordinary civilian of Konoha.
Then she discovered she had a golden finger: a miraculous, cold and aloof dress-up System.
"My family does run a clothing store, but it doesn't have to fit my life this perfectly."
She spent her days grumbling about this useless golden finger, until the night the Uchiha clan was massacred.
Chikako had just arrived at the clan head's home to deliver clothes when someone slashed her throat. Blood spread across the ground, staining the clean clothes she'd brought.
She couldn't help raising her middle finger at Uchiha Itachi's retreating back.
"You damn Uchiha! I stayed up three nights embroidering those clothes!"
[Ding! The complete "Dreamlike Evening Glory" set has been collected. Passive skill, A Sliver of Hope, has activated automatically.]
The blood-locking skill kept her alive until help arrived.
To avoid having her throat slit in a world where human lives were worth so little, Chikako had no choice but to diligently start collecting clothes.
Lately, though, she was troubled. Uchiha Itachi's little brother kept watching her. Before the massacre, he'd looked down on her and thought she wasn't worth his time.
She ignored him and ran far away.
Later, the boy defected, and everyone's attention turned to her.
Chikako had never felt so conspicuous. It was one thing for the Third Hokage and the ANBU to come looking for her, but that boy's classmates kept showing up at her house without exception.
"I've told you, I have nothing to do with Uchiha Sasuke. I barely even spoke to him before he defected! We're complete strangers!"
But after she said this, everyone looked at her strangely.
Shikamaru gave her an odd look. "Chikako, you're really something else when it comes to being oblivious."
After that... well, it's hard to say.
When Chikako went to bed at night, she always felt someone watching her from behind.
She could tell that it was a different person each time.
"Chikako is someone Sasuke likes, so that makes us friends. It's normal for friends to care about each other, isn't it?"
The blond boy with whisker marks smiled brightly like sunshine. Chikako gazed into his deep blue eyes and shuddered.
Behind him stood many of Konoha's new generation.
They all smiled in unison, closing in on Chikako step by step. A thousand mouths, ten thousand mouths, all said:
"We're friends, aren't we, Chikako? Friends should be together."
Chikako died before the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Then she was revived with Impure World Reincarnation.
There, she saw many familiar faces. Just as she was running around, trying to avoid the battlefield, she was stunned to discover that three old acquaintances had also come back to life.
"Chikako? What are you doing here?!"
Senju Hashirama and Tobirama stared in surprise at the furtive young woman. From not far away came the low voice of another man.
"Chikako, who disturbed your rest?"
I forgot to mention that Chikako's full name is Uchiha Chikako.
In her previous life, she was the youngest daughter of the Uchiha clan head during the Warring States era. Her two older brothers were close, but they had no affection for their little sister.
Unfortunately, she died very young in that first life.
But she never expected that, after being reincarnated, she'd still be an Uchiha.
"In my last life and this one," Chikako said, staring helplessly at the sky, "why are there so many men who favor boys around me?"
"Konoha's overprotective men have scared me to tears!"
Warnings: The female lead has many admirers, all with strong overprotective-man tendencies. There are lots of original settings. Many male love interests.
An extremely, extremely, extremely melodramatic Mary Sue story. It has no logic, so don't overanalyze it. If this isn't your thing, don't dive in. If you don't like it, click the upper-left corner to leave.
This is not a strong-female-lead story. Please don't attack the female lead.
I've only watched the anime, so the plot follows the anime.
No picking sides: I love them all.
Theme: Let the past be past, and let new beginnings begin.
I was so worried that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I thought I'd like to send you an explanation. This book has been delayed for a very, very long time, and I really want to finish it. I have been thinking about it. But starting from the end of January 2026, I suddenly suffered from multiple right kidney stones, one 7.9Mm and one 6.3Mm. I couldn't stand the pain that day and went straight to the hospital. I stayed in the hospital for almost a week. The doctor said that I could only do soft dermatoscope minimally invasive surgery to solve the problem. But what was even worse was that the surgery was finally completed on the New Year's Day. During the operation, it was found that the ureter was stenotic, and it was further narrowed than the average stenosis, causing the operation to fail. As a last resort, another tube was placed in the body, which lasted for two months. After that, he was in extreme pain for the next two months. It was time to go to the hospital today, and the doctor told me about my problem. Although the probability of success of the operation was very high, there was still a possibility of failure. Failure of two minimally invasive surgeries can lead to ureteral stricture, which will be more troublesome at that time. I have no choice but to embark on a long road to seek medical treatment starting today, planning to go to a big city to try my luck to see if I can do it well. But it is very bad. I am facing graduation season, thesis, and some teaching qualification exams. The time is very tight. I must complete these before the beginning of May, but the number of experts in other cities are all full. I have to wait until April 14th to be in line. If the surgery time is added, it will be even longer. The author was very tormented. I kept in mind that the book was not finished, but I was mentally weak. When I picked up the computer, all I could think about was surgery and pain. I tried several times but could not write a single article. I'm very sorry to have to waste time with everyone. I can only hope that I can find a suitable doctor as soon as possible and the operation is completed smoothly. I will update you when I get home. Please wait for me 😭 😭 😭
I thought I could see my brother educating my little sister [][]

I hope your illness will be cured soon! It's really hard to be sick, and it's graduation season. I'm also a college student who is tortured by my graduation thesis, and I understand very much!
