The Sea King Gets Exiled and Becomes Konoha's Favorite

The king of rivers, lakes, and seas, or the Sea King for short.

A spirit companion who's a tagalong in team battles, or the team's darling for short.

Everyone in Konoha knows that the goddess who sheds tiny pearls whenever she cries has peerless power, unmatched throughout history.

Yet when the real battle between "heavenly beings" and immortals finally comes, the long-awaited scene of the goddess saving the world never happens.

Instead, the "pretty ornament" sits leisurely upon a dazzling shell throne, her shimmering purple tail swaying gently in the air as she cheerfully hands out Sage Mode to everyone, one person at a time.

Here, you get one! You get one, too! And you get one more!

When everyone in the shinobi world is wearing a Sage cloak, the goddess finally leaps off her shell, one hand on her hip and the other pointing at the sky. "Damn Celestial Dragons! I've endured humiliation all these years for this day! Everyone, assemble! Get ready for a team battle!"

The Fourth Shinobi World War hasn't even begun, and Konoha Village is already in chaos because of a flower thief.

Kakashi thought it had nothing to do with him, until the female ghost living in his kunai floated out...

"You can float around, and you live in Kakashi-sensei's kunai... What's the difference between you and a ghost?"

The stunningly beautiful "female ghost" thinks for a moment. "I'm prettier than a ghost."

And so the beautiful ghost, with shameless persistence, squats in Konoha, mooching food and drink at the homes of the various jonin.

People in the village gradually notice that Hatake, the jonin, has changed lately. He carries bandages everywhere, keeps his fridge stocked with ingredients, and gets off work on time every day. When someone asks why, he says, "I have something living at home."

"What kind of thing?"

"A kunai."

And so gossip spreads across the nations: the kunai of Konoha's top ninja tool specialist has gained a spirit.

At the barbecue restaurant, Shikamaru watches the "peerless beauty" stuff meat into her mouth and feels a headache coming on.

"Um... Is it okay if you don't go back to Kakashi-sensei?"

The big-sister type with poor eyesight for faces says unconcernedly, "I play with you guys during the day, then go home to sleep at night."

And so the bizarre rumor that Hatake, the jonin, is keeping a beautiful female ghost at home and supporting her quickly spreads throughout the shinobi world...

A broken soul, pieced together again, meets a powerful, kind-hearted god who's not the sharpest.

An amnesiac sword spirit, a sword maiden afraid of pain, and a face-blind creator god. She has turned herself into a person who combines all three of their shortcomings.

A jonin who leaves work early, a brooding genius, and the orphan of the White Fang who can't admit how he feels. He's swallowed his feelings until they've become a habit shared by all three.

OOC warning and reading guide

1. The female lead is a purebred, tournament-tier Mary Sue! If you're sensitive, beware: when she cries, she drops pearls. Actual pearls...

2. Don't ask about the golden finger. The power of the gods can do anything. Tremble, mortals!

3. As for combat strength, the male lead is strong, but the female lead is incredible. She's the top of the power scale, a god among gods with her own branch on the family tree. (God is not a figure of speech.)

4. The plot is melodramatic and mixes in some mythology. There's no research behind it; I basically made it all up. Naruto turns into a cultivation story in the later stages, so I borrowed whatever Japanese and Chinese mythological settings I felt like, including the Gold and Silver Horn Demon Kings...

5. The main characters have all been assigned corresponding seafood identities from their past lives. The sea clan arc will feature a female war god and her little husband. Avoid if that's not your thing.

6. This is an inspirational story about a fallen sea god leading ordinary little people to resist fate and the arrogant rule of the Celestial Dragons. Seafood ninjas versus the Celestial Dragons! Fight!
