Summary
The Chuunin Exams are getting closer and a new village has risen from the shadows. The leader happens to be someone who Konoha knows very well: Namikaze Naruto, the self-banished son of the Yondaime. His companions are not who they seem to be and Konoha might as well be damned. Older!Naruto, Powerful!Naruto, somewhat AU. No pairings. Cover is not mine.
