Naruto: Azure Awakening Novel

Amid widespread war and betrayal, his clan pursues a peaceful vision: establishing a new village where people can live without conflict. However, Kirigakure stands as a formidable obstacle to their ambitions. To protect his clan and newfound family, Kaoru must confront anyone who threatens their goal. Expect slow progression with intense battles, drama, and graphic scenes. The protagonist isn't traditionally heroic but develops meaningful relationships.
