Another story inspired by East Bridge but with a few changes that I hope can make it original. After his death protecting his family, two souls join and gain an incredible power. But at what cost? Will they do what's right and overcome hostile forces or will they succumb to the hunger of the Swarm.

Naruto is banished from Konoha but gives them the slip and boards a ship. Soon after, he is shipwrecked on Ember island and is saved by Azula. Three years later, Naruto is Azula's bodyguard while she hunts for the Avatar, but did he see the last of Konoha?
