Shadow of the Abandoned Son
By @Mukesh shivaram B
Forgotten by Minato and Kushina in favor of his siblings, the heralded 'Children of Prophecy,' five-year-old Naruto Uzumaki endures cold neglect in the shadows of the Leaf. He does not seek their love; instead, he runs daily quests delivered by a mysterious, floating System, pushing his body to the absolute limit. Clad in black, silent and calculating, Naruto harbors a quiet, burning hatred for the village and his parents. But he isn't entirely alone. Alongside him is Cha Hae-in, a prodigy of sword and ice who conceals her fierce devotion behind a freezing, tsundere exterior, and Sasuke Uchiha, who carries the memories of Indra Otsutsuki and secretly vows to protect Naruto's unawakened Asura chakra. Together with a sealed Kurama as his only true confidant, Naruto wields devastating black lightning and the power of the shadow monarch. He doesn't want the Hokage's hat; he wants to tear down the hypocritical system that cast him aside.
