INTRODUCTION ‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗

Greetings and welcome to another Naruto roleplay. Like most Naruto roleplays this one will be AU with most of the elements of canon intact, save for major names and shinobi that would otherwise ruin the immersion of the story. With that said, I haven’t seen many active Naruto RP’s here on the site, so I hope to change that and usher in a new era of Japanese weebery.

In this specific RP we will be heavily focusing on one village, Kirigakure no Sato or in this timeline better known as Chigiri no Sato. The majority of the RP will start and take place within the walls of the bloody mist and focus on each unique aspect of the village at its height. In this I mean we will be experiencing the nuances and difference in each caste system, the implementation of the battle royal-esque graduation exam before Zabuza solo’d it, and the grim and dark politics that arose from the totalitarian style government that ruled the village at that time.

Speaking of dark and grim, the conjecture of coming into this RP is to expect that it will follow that of the anime and manga. Yes, there will be light hearted moments, but we won’t be strangers to what make ninja’s ninja. Death, sacrifice, and just about everything in between will be integral to making a both cohesive and immersive experience for this RP.

On that note, as stated before, this RP will take place in the time period between the Second and Third shinobi world war. You will be playing a genin under the delegation of one of three Jonin; both you and your squad-mates and jonin will be from varying castes, allowing an extra element to factor in with organic conversation. Your genin will be one of many vying for the chance to graduate the academy in the battle royal and become a ninja. I’m looking for a small cast of 6-9 very committed players in order to facilitate a memorable experience in hopes of longevity and significance.

If interested please continue reading and feel free to toss your hat into the ring, name into the ballot, etc etc.

SETTING ‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗‗

The cycle of life is rather simple for shinobi. You live, then fight, and shortly thereafter meet an unbecoming death. This cycle of life and death has been on a never-ending loop fated to continue like an uroboros. Kirigakure, founded after the warring states period, saw to ensure relations with other great nations. Especially in villages such as Konoha, gaining an invaluable resource in the three tailed beast and diplomatic relations. However, the goodwill they had found so easily was the antithesis of those with nations such as Iwagakure. And so, victim to the vicious cycle both the second Mizukage and Tsuchikage had met their fated ends in battle, but a glorious one filled with honor? That much is left to be said.

With the third Mizukage being appointed the Mist Village would find itself in a schism creating a caste system that relied on three tiers that separated the nation unequally. This inequity fostered tension in the village and began to plant fear and doubt within the villagers. This civil unrest reached the ears of the Mizukage who ruled the nation with an iron fist. The tyrant would not allow any talks of treason or civil dissonance under his corrupt rule. In order to quell any idea to take form, the third ushered in a new system, one that implemented one crucial rule to potential graduates aspiring to leave the academy, death. Each genin would have to fight to the death to graduate, including those of the first and second caste and not just the third.

This harrowing process cut down on numbers, numbers that could overrun the third and his posse. It also demonstrated that the caste system was not above the Mizukage, thus reinforcing the idea of not biting the hand that feeds. The rest of the Shinobi world gained wind of the nefarious politics in the mist and was branded the Village Hidden in the Bloody Mist, quite fitting for the notoriety it was gaining. There was one pro if any, cultivation of only the strongest bloodlines and ninja led to powerful armies one in which was devoutly loyal to its leader or at least that’s what the Mizukage was led to believe.

The Bloody Mist is at its height and the Mizukage has taken a staunch stance in terms of isolationism and neutrality outside of the requirements for the second and third caste. Tensions amongst the other nations are at an all time high, pressing and leading to the potential of a Third Shinobi World War. The cycle once again starting and ending, war and death forming an ouroboros once more.

Heyo,

I love the setting of Naruto, but I've never been a fan of the show/manga in what actually happened, so my knowledge of the franchise is sorta superficial. (I watched up until they finished the exam with Gara vs. Lee etc.) Like, I do have a basic understanding, but I'm not a fan that is able to say "Well ackshually!!" and then cite every little detail of a character's heritage etc.

Is that coolio with you? I tend to ask lots of question when making characters and I may need even more than usual since I don't know everything. But, if that's cool, I'd love to join. :)

Hey! Prior knowledge of the show isn't necessary! Between our knowledge and the what the web has to offer you'll be just fine! We're happy to have you :D
