Summary
A failed novelist from our world with no knowledge of Naruto reincarnates into the body of a Kyuubi orphan. Atsuko is content to languish in mediocrity as a career genin.
Bored, she spends her spare time rewriting stories from her old world - only for a publisher to snatch them up. Atsuko becomes a best-selling author built on a throne of lies. Good thing there's no such thing as copyright law in a military dictatorship...?
In which Atsuko shamelessly rips off the Western Literary Canon, is frog-marched into Konoha’s Intelligence division to become a corporate spy, and accidentally steals Jiraiya's thunder. Not necessarily in that order.

Summary
[Translation] Hitomi died, and that sucked. Then she got reincarnated into the Naruto universe as a baby, and that sucked even more. Facing seas of fire and rivers of lightning before breakfast wasn't exactly her idea of a second chance, you see. But that's what she had, and so she grabbed it by the horns. This is the story of how she'll attempt to make the best of it. And if she can save a few people here, screw over a few other there, and get Danzō dead then deader, well, what more can a girl ask for?
