    Summary

    PART I — Rumor Has It: Chapters 1-13.
    Naruto had no choice but to leave his old life behind, but when someone he’s close to goes missing deep in the underbelly of his old stomping grounds, he'll have to follow the trail of lies and blood to find what—or who—he’s looking for. The mess he left behind didn’t settle with his dust, but it’s a good thing that he’s got bigger things to worry about, isn’t it?

    In this city there's no such thing as retirement. Naruto knows this, but he already fucked up and convinced himself otherwise.

    There’s a difference between going back and coming home.

    PART II — Over, Under, Sideways, Down. Chapters 14-?
    The latest word on the street tells the story of an “imposter", a new foe, a grave misunderstanding, and a shift in...dynamics. Konoha’s going down in flames, but that’s just a normal Tuesday.

    Incomplete/Abandoned Work.
