[center][i][b]The New Dawn

A time of choices, decisions and consequences.[/b][/i]

One year and six months have passed. The time that passed after the Oppression of Shoji had came to dawn on the land. Though it was short, just a few months, the results of it are great. Some say even grave. Iwagakure was heavily damaged after the big flying benemoth Kenjou punished with cannonballs the village that had managed to liberate itself. Only then to be stopped by a combined effort of Konoha, Ame and Kumogakure forces.

The aftermath of the battle was that the combined forces managed to save more destruction from Shoji's triumph card. In the past one and a half year, the villages managed to restore their original system again. But the damage to Iwagakure placed the political dominance more on the other states. Now Konohagakure, Kumogakure and Kirigakure are the ones that have the most to say, though the Fire Union that is being led by the Hokage is the one with the biggest military power at the current time. Though both Kumogakure and Kirigakure are slowing taking their own actions to try to increase their own strength.

But what will come of it? Will it give rise to tensions? Tensions that will give rise to another Shinobi World War? Or will it balance the three out? There is also Sunagakure, that has likely recovered from it past war, the short and brutal war against the once Kumo and Konoha alliance. Many questions that require an answer. Answers that will likely come over time.[/center]

[center]For now however the question that is the most important is : 
Where are you in all of this? Will you be standing on the frontlines, trying to train and be ready to serve your village when it might all fall down? Or will you have your own plans? Take up the gear, raise your head, clench your fists and salute! 

This is maybe your time and there is only way of finding it out.[/center]

[center]So, time to rally. Ask your squad leaders (or me) where to muster, rally or meet with your team. Then simply follow what your sensei has in mind for you and let the fun begin!
Everybody, have a fun time and watch out for those sneaky ninjas.[/center]
