What If Naruto Built a Village Out of Every Missing-Nin in the World?

Naruto carves a sign for a valley that should not exist, and a boy appears at the boundary asking for the jinchuriki. Forty-two people wait in the fog behind him. In this alternate tale, Naruto walks away from Konoha's rules and builds a sanctuary for outcasts, missing-nin, and the hunted. The fog hides them, but an army with discipline moves closer, and Kurama's warnings grow sharper with every dawn. This is a transformative fan-made narrative created for entertainment and commentary purposes.
