   Summary

   Nara Shizuka saw the world in patterns others missed. It made her Konoha's most brilliant strategist, and its most perfect spy. But she wasn't your typical Nara, she saw more than just facts, she saw feelings, and chose to be kind rather than analytical. But when the Hokage asks her to become a ghost to save the village, the greatest sacrifice isn't her life—it's letting everyone she loves believe she's dead.
