Summary
Konoha Prodigies. Konoha calls a child a Prodigy when the rules stop applying to what they can do- and, too often, to what may be done to them.
Ren Yamanaka is, fortunately or unfortunately, one of these select few prodigies. Ren is born in Konoha Year 48, during the uneasy lead-up to the Third Shinobi War. He is born with a very particular ability that elevates him among his clan; he is the world's first true, always-on telepath. Ren poseses a constant sense of mental surface thoughts, intentions, feelings, beliefs, etc. This is not god mode, but it does give him an immense advantage.
Ren's character asks; what happens when you give a clan already pants-shittingly terriftying already, with their understanding of minds, personalities, development, counter-intelligence, and such things, and gave them a shot at the roulette wheel of Konoha Prodigy. Ren's only restraint is his strong moral compass and sense of empathy.
Watch a Shinobi with the exact ethical guidelines and meaningful power to act shape canon events into a very unapologetic eventual AU.
