On the night the Nine-Tailed Fox attacked the Hidden Leaf, the Fourth Hokage made one final decision that would remain buried beneath layers of fuinjutsu for thirteen years. A secret known to no one. Not the Third Hokage. Not Jiraiya. Not even Naruto. But during the Chūnin Exams, one encounter with a mysterious Grass ninja shatters more than the seal on the Nine-Tails. As an ancient seal begins to fail, Naruto's body slowly changes into the one she was born with, forcing Team Seven to confront a truth that was never meant to surface so soon. While Orochimaru schemes for Sasuke, another secret left behind by Minato Namikaze begins to unravel, one heartbeat at a time. **Disclaimer:** I do not own *Naruto* or any of its characters, locations, or concepts.
