Minato and Sarutobi had a plan. Kyuubi's presence altered that plan. Now years later one Uzumaki Naruto finds himself ensnared in a web of murder, lies and tragedy and now must face an evil that has long threatened all of the shinobi nations.

The eve after Kyuubi's attack, Konoha is low on strength. The council agrees to turn Naruto into a living weapon. But years later, after Sarutobi's death, will Konoha's weapon continue to defend it? Or will he poise his blade to carve out their throats?
