Summary
Sasuke Uchiha, tormented by the massacre of his clan and haunted by his need for revenge against his brother, finds an unexpected spark of hope when he meets Naruto, a child despised by the village. Naruto, also isolated and misunderstood, dreams of becoming Hokage one day to be seen and accepted. Both boys, driven by their loneliness, face their struggles differently: Sasuke seeks vengeance, while Naruto longs for recognition.
