Naruto: Konoha’s Leaves Dance

Konoha, Year 35. Only a handful of students graduated, and the shadow of war hung over the village.

Senju Nawaki, grandson of the First Hokage, chose Orochimaru as his mentor. Everyone thought this was simply another story about a genius ninja.

But this world was about more than missions and killing. There were also civilians displaced by the war, and darkness bred by an outdated system.

What if Wood Release existed for more than just fighting? What if the Will of Fire took on a new meaning?

How would Senju Nawaki rewrite the script of fate and bring true change to the shinobi world?

It all begins at that empty graduation ceremony.
