[quote=Tatsua Aiisen]Wow, you're such a horrible person, never talking to you again. I hate you.[/quote]

Well, if you're being serious--and I really can't tell--then that is quite the overreaction. I'd hope you're kidding of course...bleh, can't read tone sometimes over the internet :/

[quote=FireBringer]Clans is definitely an idea, another is that we are all students and at one point we all had one teacher. My knowledge of Naruto history really early on is sketchy, but isn't there some sort of Sage character who basically was the first "naruto-type ninja" that sounds like a foil that a GM/Storyteller could use as a means to send us off to deal with things, or dispense plot, or a resource. He doesn't necessarily have to do much, as the game would be our story, not necessarily his. It also provides a good point of divergence from Naruto canon, same world and laws, different history.[/quote]

Also possible, and yes, though he was stronger than even naruto is by a long shot. He was called the Rikudo Sennin(Sage of Six Paths). That's another idea, and thank you for sharing with us Lost, eheh.
