Meet Fuzen Kanpeki. She leads a normal life. A student in the ninja academy at Konoha. A good student. A couple of friends. A family to come home to every day. Mother, Father, Sister. A loving family, no? That's right. No.

Fuzen Kanpeki has shattered. With permission from the Hokage, she has left all she has known: her family, her house, her village, her friends. She has only one goal in mind. She must grow stronger. She must grow stronger than her father, than her sadness, strong enough to live and breath beneath this guilt that pulls her down. Because she knows. She knows it's her fault that he died. She knows that she's always been weak. And she knows that she must overcome. Just how far will Fuzen go to find the strength that she needs?
