"Am I free? Am I allowed to live as myself?"

"Naturally, you are human!"

"But... How?"

Before the start of the 2nd shinobi world war, Nozomi was born. However, she had no name. She was only known as codename: Kurai.
The reason for her birth was a duo to the mistrust Iwagakure had towards the other nations, which resulted in the crossbreeding of multiple bloodlines from all around, not only in the land of earth but also in other nations.

After the first Tsuchikage died, Iwagakure continued to abduct members of major clans under the order of the second Tsuchikage, whose bloodlines they deemed useful.
This resulted in the mysterious disappearance of shinobi between the first and second shinobi world war.
Nozomi wasn't the strongest in any way, but she was the one that survived the longest.

Follow her story while she battles her rival, adopts children, gets betrayed, and betrays while dealing with an identity crisis and guilt.
