The sun hung low over the bustling town of Shinsenchou, casting an orange glow across the winding streets. Amidst the fading energy of the day, Shin Mirai, a young man plagued by self-doubt and a sense of failure, shuffled down a narrow alley. Shin had always felt like an outsider in Shinsenchou, a place where abilities were celebrated and power revered. His lack of any special talents had earned him the self-deprecating title of "Humanity's Greatest Loser."
Shin's chance encounter with a group of thugs would soon set in motion a series of events that would challenge his perception of himself and the world around him. To the thug's surprise, he was able to perfectly mimic the fighting techniques of the town guards, effortlessly defending himself. This unexpected display of skill piqued the interest of Zento Dassou, the heir to the prestigious Dassou clan, who had been struggling to master his family's signature technique.
Meanwhile, in the Kasetsu clan stronghold, Raito Kasetsu grappled with his own philosophical crisis. Blessed with the ability to detect lies, Raito had grown disillusioned with the world, believing that the future was nothing but a series of false promises. His nihilistic worldview was challenged, however, when reports of disturbing phenomena began to surface - entire villages vanishing without a trace, leaving behind only perfect, empty voids.
In a tense and awe-inspiring ceremony, Shin, Raito, and Zento combined their abilities and knowledge, successfully reforging the Divine Covenant. The divine judgment ceased, and the disappeared lands and people began to return, though altered by their experience. Shin, Raito, and Zento, forever changed by their shared ordeal, parted ways, each facing an uncertain but promising future, bound by the renewed covenant between the mortal and divine realms.
"You know, the thing about failure is that it only makes me want to try harder."

Minato and Kushina survived the Kyuubi attack, the Uchiha Massacre never happened, Orochimaru never became a missing nin. What could go wrong?
A lot of things actually,
Uzumaki-Namikaze Naruto is shunned by the village, his father ignores him, and his mother disappeared.
Sasuke was always a failure to his clan, nothing he did would ever be good enough for them.
Kakashi was endlessly reminded that he would never be as great as the White Fang was.
And Sakura was abandoned by her parents, who left her in Konoha while they do god-knows-what.
Nobody expected them to amount to anything, but that only gave them the incentive to prove everyone wrong.
This is the story of Team 7, the team of failures and rejects with a dream to make it to the top.
