Jedi General Magg Teff and her troops come to the aid of Skywalker and the 501st. But her presence rubs at raw wounds for the men of Torrent Company.

Shortly after Sai and Ino's first date, a woman's corpse is discovered. Once more bodies are found, a rumor spreads across Konoha that this may be the work of a serial killer. As Sai continues the investigation at Kakashi's insistence, a pattern emerges. Every last victim is a former Foundation member, and the truth is far worse than he or anyone else could have ever imagined.

It's been almost two years since the war and Konoha is at peace- until an untouchable stranger shows up and very nearly succeeds in assassinating Konoha's Sixth Hokage. With every sign pointing towards a dead man as the aggressor, Team 7 has to fight to keep their makeshift family intact. [Kakashi & Team 7-centric. Background canon pairings, eventually canon divergent]

Exhausted and on the run, Jin, Mugen, and Fuu look for rest before moving forward...but first they must deal with the past.
