[I’ve been HOKAGE before — this isn’t nonsense.] Konoha Year 59. June. The night of the massacre. Blood flooded the Uchiha district— the young and the old slaughtered without mercy. Shenyue Yuan only had one thing to say: “…It wasn’t me.” Yet as a genius of Konoha—standing shoulder to shoulder with Itachi Uchiha— he received a personal mission from the Hokage himself: “Infiltrate the Akatsuki. Monitor Itachi Uchiha.” Undercover? Yeah right. Even a dog wouldn’t take that job. — Years later— Standing at the gates of Konoha, as the leader of the Akatsuki… Shenyue Yuan would still remember— That distant afternoon. Lying atop the Hokage Monument, resting his head on someone’s lap, gazing at the sky… Back when everything hadn’t yet gone to hell.

In a land once illuminated by hope and peace, now only shadows of conflict and division remain. The Kingdoms of Aeria and GU were once embroiled in a great war that claimed many lives and shattered the dreams of many. Amidst the ruins, a Princess and a young man found themselves separated by cruel fate.

Reborn into the shinobi world, Kuro Senji chose silence over heroism. Five years after leaving Konoha, he walks a path unseen by chakra sensors — wielding a power foreign to the ninja world itself: the authority of shadows. He does not seek peace through ideals, nor salvation through sacrifice. He seeks control. When fate draws him toward the broken souls who will one day become the Akatsuki, Kuro offers them something dangerous — not hope, but a choice. A different future. As shadows rise and history bends, the shinobi world begins to realize: the future is no longer inevitable… and someone is rewriting it from the dark.
