Hello, everyone. My name is Suna Ningning.
Right now, I'm teaming up with the ugly posthumous child my beautiful best friend left behind to carry out the "Brilliant Plan to Save Mom/Best Friend."
Unfortunately, I'm just an ordinary, delicate and frail princess of noble standing, whose extravagance and debauchery would remain unchanged even after a thousand years.
As for the posthumous child...
Hah, better not mention it.
We need more hands! We need the Rinnegan! We need those nine pets abandoned by my best friend's son!
Over the course of this thousand-year-long redemption, we planned carefully and thought things through, failing again and again, fighting on after each defeat, then losing again and again...
"At this rate, when will we ever save Kaguya?" I shouted, slapping the stupid Black Zetsu across the face.
In the end, it still had to be up to the brilliant, invincible Lady Ningning.
As a princess of noble birth, I used myself as bait. I could swallow my pride and lure my best friend's grandson into turning evil and rebelling, until he furiously cut down his own father.
I could also humble myself and sweet-talk my best friend's grandson's reincarnation until everyone turned against him and he went around doing evil.
I kill without blinking. I scheme without a sound. I excel at sowing discord and setting people up. The evil Uchiha, the dim-witted Senju, all those wonderful best friends and close brothers, every last one of them danced in the palm of my hand. At long last!
--I saw the Divine Tree, tall enough to reach the moon.
I was nearly moved to tears with joy. "I'll see you soon, Kaguya..."
"Ningning."
Suddenly, a man's voice rang out. "As I thought, you're looking at the moon again."
"Ningning, I see..." My spiky-haired partner, brought back with the Impure World Reincarnation, clamped a hand around my wrist. "Are you going to betray me again?"
"Ningning, big brother! ... Big brother, why are you holding Ningning's hand...?"
"Ningning, long time no see! This time, leave Madara and come with me!"
"Ningning..."
"Ningning..."
The bewitching voices went on without end.
Me: Σ⊙▃⊙
Wait, who brought out all the former pawns (lovers) I'd already used up?!
#The people of the Fourth Great Ninja War: ...So, do we keep fighting, or grab some popcorn first?#
#Whoa, she's got so many irons in the fire, what a heartless woman... How are all the victims Uchiha?#
#Why are the First and Second Hokage here too?!#
The main story is told in third person.
Reader's Guide:
1. All pairings, unapologetically self-indulgent fanfic. I want to write a cheesy, clichéd story with a woman adored by everyone! Multiple endings are ready to go.
2. The original novel, anime, and manga are all fair game. I'll use whichever version's details are most convenient for the plot.
3. The glory belongs to the original work, the out-of-character writing belongs to me (screenshot taken on 2024.9.2).
Theme: Love is hard to hide.
