NARUTO SHIPPUDEN - ALTERNATIVE UNIVERSE AU: Hinata Hyūga left Konoha and joined the Akatsuki Spring light bleeds through the canopy above Konohagakure, painting the Hidden Leaf Village in long, trembling shadows. Three years have passed since Hinata Hyūga, Hiashi’s daughter, disappeared into the darkness, becoming a rogue shinobi. The search parties scattered, defeated by misfortune. Team Eight—Kurenai Yūhi, Kiba Inuzuka with Akamaru, and Shino Aburame—goes about their duties, the empty space among them a silent, persistent void. The village breathes on, unaware of the cold shadow that has taken root. Naruto has just returned from his training journey with Jiraiya, still innocent of the tragedy that unfolded while he was away.
