For almost 20 years, the treaties between the Five Great Nations prevented any acts of violence or declarations of war. For once, the ninja world was at peace, but soon that all changed with the assassination of the beloved Eighth Hokage.
The Hidden Stone Village, who was not keen in the first place about the Allied Forces, was to blame for this. They had sent several skilled shinobi to get the deed done, which resulted in several domino effects. This would cause all of the nations to bring back their barriers, defenses, and would force them to be on the guard all the time.
Unfortunately, the treaties and the peace between the nations would come to an end, as many ninja predicted that it would. Shinobi are violent by nature, so it was only a matter of time before the peace between nations was just a think of the pass. Just a way to prevent the end of all shinobi.
For this reason, all the hidden villages of the great nations, including the Hidden Leaf, have decided to put together a task force that would carry out missions to prevent the destruction of the village no matter the cost. These ninja are more skilled than the Anbu, even rivaling the power of the Hokages themselves, which is why they've been put into a task force of their own. Task Force Foxglove, named after the beautiful poisonous flower that will kill by going straight for the heart.
Each clan of the village had a member of their clan specifically picked out by the Hokage to fight in an arena, to determine, out of the twelve competitors, who the strongest six are. And those six will form this deadly task force. Follow these six as they embark on different missions, risk their lives, and do every thing in their power to protect the village they call home

(A Naruto-themed fanfic- Book 1 in its series) Just recently promoted to Jonin Status as a medical shinobi of the Hidden Leaf Village, Katsu Inazuna is assigned to Squad Seven. Sakura Haruno, the squad's original ninja medic has departed the village for several years in order to receive training in the Hidden Sand Village. Katsu, Sakura's replacement, has a lot to learn about being a successful Jonin. But can she handle her first mission as one?
It becomes more than an ordinary mission when Katsu comes across three young children, each of them with distinct, striking features. Each of them claim to be either the children or siblings of original Naruto villains. Can Katsu and Kakashi train them to become ninjas who instead fight for the good of what's in their hearts?
Sasuke Uchiha, an ex-member of Squad Seven and also Katsu's ex-boyfriend, is growing stronger under Orochimaru's teaching. Will Katsu, Kakashi, and Naruto be able to succeed in capturing him and returning him to the Leaf Village after years of being gone? Or will the mission result differently? Will seeing Sasuke again cause Katsu's old, buried feelings for him to rise to the surface? Or will she finally blossom into someone bigger than herself with feelings for someone else? Is it possible that Katsu's secret dream of becoming the next Hokage could ever turn into a reality?
