The Kyuubi attack left Kaiya orphaned with no identity. Now a Leaf Shinobi, it seems she's found her place - but all is upended when an old love returns, threatening all she holds dear. Caught in a web of murder, betrayal, and manipulation, she questions her values, her village, even herself, all the while fighting to make a better world. OC x Canons. Canon-divergent. Rewrite.
