Hopefully I just blew your minds.
Twenty years after Naruto became Hokage and saved the world from certain doom, the ninja world found itself at general peace. There were minor skirmishes and pockets of outlaw trouble, but the world was happy and enjoying armistice with the joys of peace and prosperity. One day, while on a routine scouting mission, a group of leaf ninja found a hidden laboratory, full of desiccated corpses and myriad other monstrosities. Before the mysterious hooded madman could be subdued, a portal in space and time consumed the entire structure, and the next thing the leaf ninja knew, they had woken up in an unfamiliar muddy field.
What they didn't know, was that they had been transported into the greatest war in Earth's history.
So, the bizarre contrivances of the set-up aside, the game is going to start on July 6th, 1941, in a nondescript field near the fortified city of Smolensk, the site of the first real battle of Operation Barbarossa. Players will control ninja of high chuunin/low jounin capability and will have to make their way in this new unfamiliar world, or try and find a way back to their homes. The game will be fairly lighthearted, but with a heavy focus on military realism regarding War. The game will be fairly free-form, with characters directing the plot down various avenues, making difficult choices and having to live with the horrors of the most brutal war ever fought.
