Hokage World: Shadows Beyond the Leaf
Synopsis:
In a world where the Five Great Nations have merged into a single fragile alliance, the title of Hokage now carries the burden of peace across all lands. After the Fourth Shinobi War, a mysterious rift opens near the Valley of the End, unleashing shadows of past enemies—and forgotten heroes—into the present.
A young orphan, Ryo, raised in the outskirts of Konoha, discovers he bears a strange mark linked to the First Hokage's chakra. Driven by a burning need to protect his friends and understand his origins, Ryo is pulled into a secret mission with Sarada Uchiha and Boruto Uzumaki to investigate the rift before it tears the shinobi world apart.
As past Hokage spirits begin to reappear, each with unfinished regrets, the true threat emerges: a rogue faction seeking to revive the ancient Otsutsuki clan using the Hokage spirits as vessels. To save the world, Ryo and his allies must unite the will of fire with the forgotten wills of the past, discovering that to protect the future, they must learn from the shadows of those who came before.
