Itachi Uchiha was prepared to die a martyr, ravaged by a terminal illness and the weight of his sins. But Fate's Tapestry shifted when a soldier from a long-burned world crashed into the Shinobi Realm. When Itachi encounters Hyoshin---a "Blue Soldier" from the nuclear apocalypse of Rezina---he finds a mirror of his own haunted past. The two, or three, form an unlikely shared alliance that leads from the Akatsuki, to the cells of Konoha, and even further. As the Akatsuki prepares for a final reckoning in this fast-paced tale, Itachi and Hyoshin must master their partnership to protect the Leaf village and secure a future for the Uchiha clan. ***Weekly chapter drops as I revise and edit the second draft into the third draft!***
