As every path begins, so too must every path end. Even those who ride knowingly along their own path cannot see past that path's end. Thus, the only way to be remembered is to make a lasting mark while you still walk your own path. - Starswirl the Bearded, CCY 23

The path that Naruto's civilization travels on has finally come to its end, the cycle of hatred having brought the self-fulfilling prophecy of its destruction full-circle. Now, the few remaining members of a lost civilization travel to a new world, guided by Fate to continue their path separate from those of the past.

Naruto and his group of wayward masters now find themselves on a new world, and with threats on all sides, will they be able to protect those that are now under their charge or will the universe face a dark age?
