THE MAIN PLOT
The ninja world hadn't changed a bit. Wars continued to be fought with momentary intervals of faux peace. All the shinobi could do was fight each other in the end, making up excuses to justify their means for bloodshed. Finally, some how, some way, it all came to a close. Like some sort of immense explosion, destroying all the hate, all the loathing, all the evil in the world. The details? Relatively unknown. It was so long ago. The stories have been told a hundred different ways by a hundred different people, each one more exaggerated than the last. The most common themes between these stories spoke of a man who seemingly came out of no where. Completely unknown, but holding great strength, he single handedly rewrote the world in the image he had in mind. One of peace, prosperity and good will. And as he said it, so it was. Not long after he had appeared, wars stopped, bloodshed ceased. There were those who tried to take advantage of this lack of military power between villages, but they too were 'handled'. That was centuries ago though.
With wars gone, hidden villages soon became regular towns. Almost all weapons were destroyed or recycled, some being kept to teach others techniques for self discipline. Any type of sparring was done in good nature, to help bonds grow between others. No one died by another's hands. There was no revenge. No hatred. With the way of the ninja gone, so too did the Bijuu go with them. With the help of the world's saviour, they were all sealed into 10 ft statues, unbreakable by any means and impervious to any attack. There were no more human sacrifices, and no one used as a tool by anybody. For many decades, many centuries, the time and money spent by everyone was used to further their own advancements, to make life easier. From nowhere came a new country, Ten no Kuni. It was the first utopia the world had seen, a place where nothing negative ever existed. A holy place. It was the physical representation of what the world was now. While other countries existed with some boundaries between them, this country had no boundaries. Anyone was welcome. It soon came to be known as the center of the universe. The world continued this way for a long, long time..
1000 years later, the world is a much different place. Technology went from basic computers, radios and low tech televisions to laptops, cellphones and HD television. The borders of many of the well known countries had since changed. Some huge countries became medium, small countries becoming bigger, other small countries becoming completely wiped out and merging with other countries. Ten no Kuni's influence had become world reknown. It was the center of the Global Trading Company, which shipped goods all across the globe. Their influence on the world was absolute now. For years, they displayed a front of good will and peace, but behind the scenes, over time they become corrupt and used their power for their own gain. That is, those who ran Ten no Kuni, the master minds behind it. The Big Nine.
One day, a young male came to the city square of Ten no Kuni's capital. He openly confronted the leaders of the village and all of those who followed them. He claimed to have discovered the plans and their true natures. Many simply saw him as a war mongerer from the past, somebody who they didn't need in this world. He was quickly shunned from society, but he persisted. He'd go and rob from the libraries the many scrolls they had. Although all war and strife had disappeared, the scrolls of jutsus still existed as many had made it their occupation in these days to study them. Robbing many of these scrolls, he spent many years of his life learning the lost arts of ninjutsu. Those who spent their lives living in the Heaven Country would not be so easily swayed onto this male's side, so he decided to go else where to search for those who would listen. Eventually, over a couple decades, he would return with a small group of ninja to overthrow the Big Nine. Their numbers were small, but with their newfound skills in ninjutsu, they were able to bring out proof of the deceoption of the Big Nine. This begun the beginning of the civil war within Ten no Kuni, a war which would soon spread across the land over the next few centuries.
Yes, a war that lasted 400 years. It was undoubtfully the longest war in history, and definitely one of the biggest. This war destroyed lands and reshaped parts of the continent, changing countries, and affecting the world's entire way of life. The boundaries of Ten no Kuni slowly began to fall as the borders of other countries grew. The world, drifting from peace time to a newly born ninja world, took the entire span of this war to complete, and by the time it ended, a new ninja world had been created. Ten no Kuni still remained a country, still having an influence on some of the world market, but the Five Great Shinobi Nations now ruled the world once again. Kazan no Kuni, Arashi no Kuni, Gufu no Kuni, Tsunami no Kuni and Jishin no Kuni. Wit hthe birth of their new Kages, the Shodai of every new hidden village, a new cycle began, one where the beliefs of the individuals once again would influence the flow of history. Its been 600 years since the villages have been established, and the world has already faced another great ninja war in regards to mistrust within one another, but now its a time of momentary peace between the nations, with a sort of truce set between them all to lower the influence of war while they focus on how to proceed with the future.
Their hopes currently lay with the younger generation, as times of war have left the older ones devestated and small..
