The Shadow of the Fan

In a timeline where the Fourth Hokage lived, the Hidden Leaf is the undisputed superpower of the Great Nations. But peace has made the new generation soft, and the shadows of the past are beginning to stir.

Minato Namikaze knows that his son and the last remaining Uchiha prodigy need more than a teacher-they need a standard to strive for. He assigns his best friend and the village's ultimate deterrent, Raito Uchiha, to lead Team 7.

Raito, the man compared to Madara himself, has no interest in "bell tests" or childish games. He intends to forge Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura into a unit that can withstand the coming storm of the Akatsuki. From the Land of Waves to the Chunin Exams, the world is about to learn that the Uchiha's true strength didn't die with Madara-it evolved.
