(Following Naruto: the Last & prefacing Boruto) A potential threat arises when several ninja go missing from their villages, and the Kage host a meeting to discuss the possibility of a newer, rogue group formation. Eleven of the five nation's finest ninja are sent out on a mission to unfold this sudden mystery, only to be met with what could be one of the most concerning problems in their history. Gaara lays down his title as Kazekage to join this mission, and attempts to learn some positive habits from one specific bushy-browed person along the way. Somehow, though, when it comes to Rock Lee, you always get more than you bargained for.
