Synopsis
[SI/OC Third Shinobi War]
I thought enlisting to become a Shinobi was a heroic deed. Then I graduated early to be deployed to the front lines. I am sadly and sorely mistaken.
[Full synopsis]
Well fought and well done. All of us fight as one. It took me three years to be able to properly read the faded out kanji of the flimsy poster that I keep in my back pocket. The illustration is colourful, bright reds and yellows. Colours that would definitely catch the attention of a child. The poster was carefully placed along the walls and fences of my village, level with the height of a four year old. I thought enlisting to become a Shinobi was a heroic deed, something I needed to do to save my family from poverty and to serve my country at the cusp of war. Then I graduated early to be deployed to the front lines.
I am sadly and sorely mistaken.
