She did not so much slide down the slippery slope as she did dash, propelled by rockets.įor a person who was so appalled by the amoral and anti human rights, actions, and tendencies of the village, she sure decided very quickly on the "ends justify the means" approach. Although, I do feel, that at the beginning, her descent was maybe a bit too fast. Well, to Rei itself, I like her, really, I do. With Rei cultivating ties with the Hyuuga as well, there is an interesting power block forming. And while all four clans are close, Inoichi's best friends are the Akimichi and Nara heirs and so far, Shikaku has shown that he is firmly on Inoichi's side. Is Asuma going to end up as the sensei for the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, for example? I kinda doubt that now. Really, the Yamanaka and Sarutobi conflict that came from this really interests me and I am looking forward to see more, especially seeing how the Sarutobi seem to be historically linked to the Yamanaka, Nara and Akimichi, what with them giving the earrings. Personally, it's the one story where I want her to remain in Konoha, simply because the whole political aspect is infinitely more interesting than her fucking around in the elemental nations. It gets complicated by her love to Ino and the fact that she becomes better and better friends with Neji and Tenten, so, it's interesting how that plays out. It's one of the best things, actually, seeing outside perspectives on her and seeing how much everyone likes and loves her (in her family, I mean) and has high hopes for her future, with her eventually leading the clan in its Golden Era while she fully intends to ditch the clan and Konoha as soon as she can get away with it, mainly because she deeply resents Konoha, or at least portions of the village. So, she is pretty much a larger than life character who is held in high regard by her clan. What makes this fun to read is that unlike most SI stories, it's not about her trying to avoid the genius label and try to downplay it but rather, she embraces it fully, wanting to excel as soon as possible and giving her best to achieve that goal, to become powerful. Story is that the SI is reborn as the older sister of Ino and as the summary indicates, she wants to attain sufficient strength to be able to leave Konoha and live without them being able to come after her, basically wanting to become an S-class missing nin, since she values her freedom over everything and sees that as the only road to that goal. I really like this story, it's the type of SI story I have been looking for a while, where the protag is not necessarily evil but more on the selfish and ruthless side. However breaking the bonds she forms won't be as simple as she imagines. Power is the only thing that brings freedom in the ninja world and she will have freedom. Summary: A girl reborn into the world of ninja wants to escape the cycle of violence.
