Kagami Uchiha survived the night of the massacre.
Not because he was strong, but because he happened to be away on a mission.
The day he returned to Konoha, he encountered someone from Root in the charred remains of the Uchiha compound. Beneath the mask, the man’s eyes were as cold as ice. Killing intent: level 9.
“Come with me.”
Kagami knew that if he went, there would be no coming back.
Then his left eye began to burn. His mutated Three-Tomoe Sharingan let him see something that shouldn’t exist.
Two numbers floated above everyone’s head.
Killing intent. Affection.
Danzo’s killing intent was 9, and his affection was -50.
Kakashi’s killing intent was 1, and his affection was 30.
The girl who brought him medicine had an affection score of only 20, but the number above her head… changed every minute.
Konoha’s leaders suspect him, Root is hunting him, and the truth about the night of the massacre lies buried in a fog.
But Kagami isn’t afraid.
Because in this world built on lies, he can see who wants to kill him, who is deceiving him, and who… truly cares about him.
He will survive in the cracks between Konoha’s leaders, and live as a blade.
