Naruto was adopted by the Uchiha Clan as a kid. When Itachi massacres the clan, Naruto and Sasuke vow to track him down and find out why he would do such a thing. But the two never could have guessed just how much Itachi was hiding from them.
Minako is Naruto's older sister. After a series of events, she ended up leaving the village with Jiraiya at age 9. However, after an accident 3 years later, Minako is presumed to be dead. 6 years after the accident, Minako is still alive and smarter than ever. Thoughts of leaving Naruto behind back then still haunt her. But now, with the power to defend her heritage and vanquish her demons, Minako is ready to do whatever it takes to protect her brother, reconcile Itachi and Sasuke peacefully, and bring peace to this world.
Itachi has been in love with Minako for as long as he can remember. He realized his feelings when they took the Chuunin Exams together. Unbeknownst to him, his love does not go unrequited. But his resolve prevents him from bringing those feelings to light. He has chosen to walk a path that will ultimately result in his death, a path that requires him to bear incredible hatred. Will Itachi reach the end of this path? The future is uncertain.
He thought that it was over, that he was finally allowed to rest but just like so many things in life it proved to be a short-lived dream.
Kakashi Hatake, Konoha's Silver Reaper, Clan heir of the Hatake Clan, youngest Commander in history and hailed as a once in a century prodigy as well as the Savior of Konohagakure had been dead for 13 years.
After the boy had given his life at the age of thirteen in order to seal the Kyuubi no Youko and hence protect his village from total destruction, peace had started to come.
Minato Namikaze, deeply affected by the sacrifice of his student, had made every effort to achieve peace so that no one else would have to get hurt. And for a while it looked as if his vision had become true. The Sand and the Rain had become their closest ally whereas the Rock, the Cloud and the Mist remained neutral towards the Leaf. It wasn't perfect but it was good.
And during all of that Kakashi greatest wish had become true. He had been finally reunited with his students, his family.
But what happens when an enemy rises again? One they had thought of being gone a long time ago?
Decisions have to be made, morals have to be betrayed and old wounds have to be opened again.
And perhaps Kakashi realises that he has a new dream. A new goal that he will give his everything.
ATTENTION!
