Ren Shirogane knows how Yahiko dies. He knows what Nagato becomes. And this time, he refuses to let it happen. After dying on his eighteenth birthday, Ren awakens as a seven-year-old orphan in war-torn Amegakure—only to be rescued by Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, years before the Akatsuki becomes the organization he remembers. For the first time in years, Ren has a family again. One he intends to keep alive. But Ren isn't completely ordinary either. His strange black eyes and unusual chakra allow him to instinctively separate Yin and Yang, turning memories, emotions, and imagination into something that can almost touch reality. Almost. He's still weak. His knowledge of Naruto is incomplete. And every change he makes pushes the future further away from the story he remembers. Ren only wanted to save Yahiko. But if he succeeds, he may end up changing the fate of the entire shinobi world.
