Before her cursed technique had even awakened, Zenin Hato was approached by a cultivation System called The Chosen Clan Head.
"Bind yourself to me! I'll help you become the next head of the Zenin clan!"
For generations, the Zenin clan had passed its leadership down to men. As the legitimate daughter, Zenin Hato had grown up under oppression. "There's no reason not to bind myself to you. I'll be the one to smash this rotten ship apart!"
Good news: Hato got off to a great start. On her very first draw, she obtained the Zenin clan's finest inherited technique, the Ten Shadows Technique.
Bad news: She's a Heavenly Restriction.
System: "That's easy to fix! Just pass the System's tests, and you can take the technique home!"

So, by day...
She was a hardworking person hiding her true abilities, training in secret and leaving everyone stunned!
"What's going on?! Why have so many pieces of equipment in the training room been wrecked this month?!"
"This is bad! Clan Head! The training room has been demolished again!"
"W-wait! What happened to the trees on the mountain?! Who flattened them?!"
At night...
She was a ninja-in-training at a ninja academy, working tirelessly to learn the combat techniques and theory of the ninja.
"Kunai throwing techniques..."
Zenin Hato hurled a kunai. Empowered by her immense strength, it reduced the target to dust!
The teachers and students: "??????"
"Chakra extraction..."
Thanks to the formidable physical abilities granted by her Heavenly Restriction, Zenin Hato easily met the goal.
The teachers and students: "?????? Wait, why do you have so much chakra?!"
"And now, hand signs..."
Zenin Hato's hands moved so fast they left afterimages!
The teachers and students: "????"
"C-could it be... you're a genius?!"

After enrolling at the technical college as a transfer student...
Masamichi Yaga: "Why don't you introduce yourself?"
Zenin Hato: "I don't have a cursed technique. I'm weak."
Suguru Geto and Satoru Gojo: "What a coincidence. We're strong."
Shoko Ieiri: "Neither strong nor weak. I just have the Reverse Cursed Technique."
At the sister-school exchange event, Zenin Hato punched her twisted, gloomy older brother into the ground.
Looking at the crater blasted into the competition field and the murderous expression on Naoya Zenin's face, everyone was left speechless.
Huh? You call that weak?!
-
In the past, Zenin Hato had no choice. But now...
"I think I'd like to try sitting in the clan head's seat too."
