The student exchange program for the inhabitants of the continent of Ninji has chosen nine transfer students from Konoha for the program. Three of these Konoha transfer students will make decisions that will change the fate of two continents. Naruto enrolls in the Golden Deer and, for the first time, experiences belonging. He finds himself confused about what he truly wants after meeting Dorothea and Ingrid, and his life changes as he discovers what love is. Hinata enrolls in the Black Eagles and, for the first time, has others believe in her. She finally feels free to pursue her greatest desires without her clan's judgment. Sasuke is reunited with a dear friend he departed from five years ago, and feelings he had buried for years resurface. Byleth Eisner reunites with a friend who doesn't see him as a freak, but he struggles to understand the feelings of love. The house leaders-Dimitri, Claude, and Edelgard-unknowingly impact certain members of the Konoha transfers, changing their lives forever. With two continents, each possessing different cultures, decisions are made that will alter how their new and old friends view the world.
