Long Ago after the end the first great ninja war many hidden villages were made in an attempt to bring together shinobi of significant quality. Ninja from all around the world flocked to the new villages in order to protect their families, and earn a fair living. Only a handful of shinobi did not do so and soon the samurai had grown few in numbers reduced to wandering wastrels in the Iron lands. These hidden villages were soon able to grow in power, and become massive backers to the lands Daimyo. These villages included the Hidden Leaf, Sand, Cloud, Stone, and Mist. These giants produce ninja of astonishing quality. Monsters that earn titles renown throughout the land. It is a frightening prospect that some ninja are capable of turning entire platoons of shinobi to dust, or slaughter an entire town without anyone knowing until it was too late. Some of these shinobi...they have abandoned their villages. Abandoned their way of life as heads of their villages. It was a frightening prospect to say the very least. These rogue shinobi wander the land now under their own ambition without a figure head to control them. However...a rumor on the winds. A new power rising taking shape in no-mans land areas. A small group of mercenary rogue ninja. The Akatsuki. Their names are only rumor but this group is said to contain startling, and frightening power. It is unknown if they actually exist or not...but the world will be aware of them...soon enough at least. In the Village Hidden in the Rocks they gather together waiting, and plotting their eventual goal. Though some may have ulterior motivations for joining the group. The Village is known for being a gathering spot for rough, and dirty rogue ninja. Though it is not officially under control of the Akatsuki it serves as a make shift hub for the moment. At the moment the Akatsuki is a small faction led by an ex-police force jounin ninja from the Hidden Leaf Shina Uchiha, as well as a ex-sand village jounin as well. The world at large is currently in a state of pseudo peace though no nations are officially at war many ninja have been on edge since the remnants of the Village Hidden in the Sky attacked the Leaf during the chunin exams ten years ago. Many fear that this is just the start of a terrorist war. Using this state of cold war the Akatsuki will branch out...and grasp their world for themselves. ===== [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ux0Qnn2XEgM[/youtube] == NPC Roster: Shina Uchiha - VanceXentan ==== Roster: Kaito Honda - VanceXentan ===== Rules: 1. All basic roleplay rules apply including meta, power, and god gaming. Likewise I am reserving the right as gm to deny anything into the roleplay that I need to, see fit to in order to maintain the roleplay. 2. There is to be no tailed beast holders as members. This is due to the fact that those specific people are highly coveted by the villages and are unlikely to be able to break out due to that. 3. Long dead clans such as Kaguya are not allowed due to them possibly breaking Uchiha, and Senju Clan Lore. 4.
