Kankuro reached the ravine just a few minutes too late. Now, Team Kurenai works to ensure that no more traitors get away alive. Divergence from chapter 212.

Brought together by a promise from before their time, Naruto Uzumaki, Shikamaru Nara and Shino Aburame are thrown into the world to show what they are made of! Trained by Jiraiya and Yugao Uzuki, these three were brought together to keep Konoha safe, but not everything is what it appears to be. When two higher powers take an interest in the trio, the world will never be the same!

Can Peace last in the land of Tellius? Ashnard may be gone, but a new power has emerged. And who should have to fight it off but the Hero of Tellius himself. No surprise there. Post POR. Many pairings, eventual Ike x Lethe.
