The Third Hokage's attempts to bring the Third Shinobi War to a peaceful end are shattered when the envoy from Kumogakure, invited into Konoha as a guest to help negotiate a peace settlement, attempts to kidnap the infant Hinata. In the face of his own self-doubt and the rising voices of the clanheads demanding a change in leadership, Sarutobi Hiruzen steps down in favor of his greatest student, Orochimaru of the Sannin.
Torn between his own personal ambitions and the impositions of duty upon all who take up the hat, Orochimaru must hurry to kindle his own Will of Fire from the embers of Konoha's old order, lest the coming bitter cold of war sap the internally divided Leaf.
