Naruto: Engineered Peace
Hayashi Kaede expected a quiet life after graduating college.
Instead, he wakes up as Amakaze Kaede, a six-year-old orphan in the earliest days of Konohagakure, an era destined to drown in war.
With no famous bloodline, no powerful clan backing, and no desire to become a hero, Kaede has only one goal:
Survive.
Just as he resolves to live quietly, a mysterious Peaceful Life System activates, rewarding him not for ambition, but for maintaining stability within the village.
The irony is cruel.
To live peacefully, Kaede must become strong.
Granted mastery over Shōton (Crystal Release) and the rare Tenpūton, Kaede walks a dangerous line between staying invisible and becoming too valuable to ignore.
Spies move in the shadows.
Great clans scheme.
Legends like the First and Second Hokage shape the world with their decisions.
While others chase glory, Kaede studies, plans, and sharpens himself for the long game.
He will not become a savior.
He will not become a martyr.
He will become the kind of man who outlives history.
Because in the shinobi world…
Peace is not given.
It is engineered.
