    Summary

    What if Naruto wasn’t as loud, cheerful, or optimistic? What if the weight of rejection and fear slowly broke him down? After Sasuke leaves and a mission goes wrong, Naruto starts questioning everything—his power, his purpose, and the village that never truly accepted him. One day, he disappears, following a crow that always seems to be watching him. As he wanders into a world that no longer feels like home, Naruto begins to change. And he’s not sure if he can—or should—go back.
