[Synopsis]
Born into a family of black-haired people, Hinata Makoto has white hair and blue eyes, so the other clan members point fingers and call her an oddity.
Even after being forced to leave her family, little Makoto still has a strict yet gentle father, a strong and tender mother, and a gifted older brother hailed as a genius. Makoto believes she is the happiest child in the world.
One day, while out with her older brother, she meets a golden-haired boy who looks like a little fox. Suddenly, a “ding” rings in her mind, followed by a mechanical voice speaking directly into her thoughts.
[The host's subconscious wish has been detected. The Strongest System is about to activate.]
[Host!]
The piercing voice, like an eagle crying across the sky, makes little Makoto freeze.
After a brief conversation with the System, who calls itself 00, Makoto learns of the future awaiting her: her father and mother will die, while her brother will be brainwashed into serving the main family until he dies from exhaustion.
Not believing the System's predictions, and still convinced she will live happily with her family forever, little Makoto puts its words out of her mind.
Until...
At the age of three, she witnesses her brother's forehead being branded with a curse that can only be lifted by death. Her father willingly dies for the main family, and her mother, worried by her daughter's increasingly frail health, falls seriously ill and eventually passes away.
Fate does not seem to be heading in the direction she had hoped for.
[That's why you have to become the strongest. Only then can you stop tragedy from repeating itself,] 00 sighs.
“If I become the strongest, can I make everyone happy?”
Having taken the ninja world's situation into account, 00 answers without batting an eye: [Of course! Once you become the strongest, everyone will be too scared to bully you!]
As if inspired, Hinata Makoto finally understands.
Only by becoming the strongest can she bring peace to the world.
