    Summary

    For Shihori Nara, the ultimate strategy was never survival - it was sacrifice. She had calculated the checkmate against Danzō down to the last drop of her own blood, ready to trade her life for the safety of the Leaf Village and her clan. It was logical. It was necessary. It was the end.
    But she failed to account for the one variable that defies all logic: a man who has already lost too much to let his Shadow fade away.

    From the street of the Leaf Village to the mist-shrouded shores of the Land of Waves, Kakashi Hatake shatters every rule he ever swore to uphold and finally opens his heart to three annoying Genins and finds the courage to love in the sun.

    The game has changed. The pawns are off the board. And Shihori and Kakashi are about to learn that the only thing harder than dying for a cause... is finding the courage to live for it.
