Title: The Grandmother's Truth – A Reincarnated Spectator's Final Joke
Chapter 26: The Orb Was Just a Toy
The glowing cube?
A child's trinket—a cheap, light-up novelty she'd bought from a wandering merchant years ago. She rolled it between her fingers now, snorting at her own dramatic flair.
"Honestly, that samurai really thinks I'm some prophet?" She wheezed, slapping her knee. "His face—priceless!"
The truth was far simpler, far pettier:
She was reincarnated.
A nobody from another world who'd once binge-watched Naruto between shifts at a dead-end job. And when she woke up here, in this blood-soaked ninja world?
It was entertaining.
Chapter 27: Why She Loved (Most of) the Wars
The First and Second Shinobi Wars? Goldmines.
The anime barely scratched the surface—just names on a memorial stone, a few tragic flashbacks. But here?
· The details. The politics, the off-screen battles, the sheer absurdity of ninja logistics.
· Did you know Suna once tried to weaponize scorpion venom as a biofuel? It failed spectacularly.
· Kiri's "Bloody Mist" era had three separate coup attempts the anime never mentioned.
She'd cackled through it all like a twisted historian, scribbling notes in the margins of her grocery lists.
Chapter 28: Why the Third War Pissed Her Off
But the Third War?
A disgrace.
· The Sannin's summons turned battles into one-sided stomps. Boring.
· Minato's teleporting nonsense made strategy irrelevant. Lazy writing!
· And the worst sin of all? No consequences.
The toads, slugs, and snakes dipped in, murdered hundreds, then vanished like it was a damn game. No retaliation. No fallout.
"Where's the drama? Where's the payoff?" she'd ranted to her pet cat (who ignored her).
So she'd fixed it.
A few letters. A nudge here and there.
Now the world had stakes.
Chapter 29: The Best Part? She'd Never See the Boruto Mess
She stretched, popping her back with a satisfied groan.
"Aliens? Karma? Time-traveling cyborg rabbits?" She fake-gagged. "Glad I'll be dead before that trashfire starts."
Her greatest joy? Knowing she'd already thrown the timeline into chaos.
· The Tailed Beasts were awake.
· The summons were rebelling.
· Black Zetsu was probably having a meltdown in some cave.
And her?
She'd die warm in her bed, smirking at the fireworks she'd set off.
Final Scene: The Last Laugh
Years later, as she breathed her last (surrounded by stolen D-rank mission reports for "light reading"), her final thought was:
"Worth it."
Somewhere in the Pure Land, Hagoromo facepalmed.
Somewhere in Kaguya's dimension, Black Zetsu screamed into the void.
And in a future not yet written…
Naruto's great-grandkid would curse the name of a "crazy old lady" they'd never meet.
