Ninja Tell Stories. Naruto. No spoilers. 100 words.
For telophase, a riff on her own request for a story about a certain ninja.
The ninja tell stories while they rest between missions. Their heroes are the strongest, the sneakiest, the best; the ones with the most powerful chakra, the cleverest stratagems, the greatest courage.
But though one man saved a village and maybe the entire land, his story is never told. It involves no astounding jutsu, no staggering bloody to his feet to strike the final blow-no fighting! All Iruka did was buy ramen for a lonely boy; all Iruka did was make him a man instead of a monster.
When Naruto becomes Hokage, that’s one story that Konoha will never forget.
