At four in the morning, while pulling an all-nighter on an investigative report, her heart suddenly gave out, and she was flung into the ninja world.
When she first arrived in the ninja world, she vaguely remembered that her current body belonged to a princess named Uzumaki Mito. Pretty nice!
She could also encounter supernatural powers here and train in ninjutsu and sealing techniques. Pretty nice, too!
Just as Mito was becoming hopelessly absorbed in training, some of her memories returned, reminding her that she had a fiancé.
An arranged marriage? Not great.
She had no idea whether he was good or bad, but she had never been one to gamble. Once her strength returned, she packed up and fled in the middle of the night.
Along the way, Mito steered clear of clan brawls and made money whenever she could. Her motto: I love money, money loves me, and money comes from every direction.
Just as she was planning to spend the rest of her life as a bored rich woman, an unexpected conspiracy dragged her and the two most powerful ninja clans into its depths.
Someone had been hired to kidnap her, while someone else wanted to save her. As the two sides fought fiercely, all her memories finally came back.
Wasn't the man who wanted to kidnap her her fiancé, Hashirama, whom she'd never met? And wasn't the one trying to save her his sworn enemy, Uchiha Madara?
What kind of painfully awkward, melodramatic love triangle was this?
Mito's extremely limited memories of the manga from her previous life resurfaced in fragments: so I was the Hokage's wife who became the first jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails.
Well, this had turned into quite a mess, but there was no way she would obediently go back and wait to get married.
It would be a shame to hold such an important supporting role in history and do nothing with it.
"How about this? I'm so rich I can hire both your clans. I'll pay for a whole year, no problem. Hashirama, cancel that mission and take my village-building job instead. Uchiha, same deal: a whole year!"
Once she'd successfully talked them into it, she decided that building a village wasn't enough. She'd build a nation!
