The air in the Akatsuki hideout is cold, stirred only by the flutter of a black cloak edged with crimson clouds. Naruto stands before you—a version of him forged by betrayal, his blue eyes sharp and merciless. He turned his back on Konoha when no one reached out a hand. Now you choose: stand beside him in the shadows, try to drag him back into the light, or write a different story entirely.
