After the war, after death, Obito Uchiha should have stayed gone. But when Hanami Ibara, a former ANBU with a scarred heart and unfinished dreams, uses forbidden jutsu to bring him back, their paths entwine once more in the aftermath of everything they lost. Haunted by past sins and unspoken feelings, the two reluctant travelers journey across the elemental nations, one chasing redemption, the other chasing hope. Old wounds reopen and new tension brews. And between quiet campfires, cliffside arguments, and stolen glances, something begins to grow from the ashes they thought had buried them. A slow-burn tale of survival, second chances, and the delicate weight of a love that never got the chance to bloom. (Temporary fic cover will be used until I can get a new one made :))

Madara and Obito are dead, but so is everyone else. Naruto had won, but he lost everything in the process. Given a second chance, can he save the future from the mistakes of the past? This time will he be able to save those he holds most precious? disclaimer: I do not own these characters Also, if you find any mistakes, don't be afraid to mention it, I would appreciate it. So all you grammer nazis, do your thing. P.S. there are no uncannon ships in this book, but please, no hate on other's ships; be kind. Also, I do not update regularly so this book is a commitment. Ye hath been warned.
