“To promote friendship among allied nations and raise the bar in the art of shinobi.”


This is the stated purpose of the chūnin exams, and it has always been clear.

Participants in the exams are genin, or junior ninja, from the various shinobi villages. During the exams, all shinobi skills are put to the test, starting with a written exam and leading up to the finals — consisting of one on one combat between the people who made it through the other stages of the exams. These fights are watched by all the land’s daimyos, who use them as a gauging point for which shinobi village is the strongest.

The stronger the village, the more likely the daimyos are to come to them for work. The more daimyos come to the villages for work, the more the villages the prosper. The chūnin exams and the genin from each village are fighting for the future of their villages, not just their own pride.

In reality, the stated purpose of the chūnin exams could not be further from the truth. They aren’t a way to promote friendship among allied nations. The ninja villages use the chūnin exams as a miniature war between the nations, to prove their might to the daimyos of each nation. The chūnin exams are a battle of life and death, because the strength of a nation is derived from the strength of its village, and the strength of a village is derived from the strength of a shinobi, and a shinobi’s greatest strength only emerges in the midst of a life-or-death battle.


“To preserve the balance of power at the risk of lives is the essence of friendship in the world of shinobi.”




Of course, this year’s chūnin exams are exceptionally important… there are rumblings of an organization of rogue shinobi being formed, and whichever nation looks the strongest at the chūnin exams, is sure to get the most work if there really is a ninja war on the horizon.





OOC Info:


This RP will take place in an alternate Naruto universe(essentially boiling down to no canon clans/characters will be involved), opening with the chūnin exams. All the player characters will be from Konoha, to make room for the twist planned. The twist is fairly simple; during the chūnin exams, the aforementioned ‘evil organization’ (who won’t be dissimilar to the Akatsuki) will attack.

After the attack, your characters will be faced with a choice:

They’ll have the opportunity to join the evil faction, or stay good and protect their villages. That choice will be up to you, and us GMs (@KZOMBI3 @Fabricant451 and myself) will be essentially GMing two separate factions, the group that went rogue, and the group that stayed with their villages.

Following the exams arc and the choice, there will be a 4-5 year long time skip, and the RP will pick up from there! I’m super excited for this and I hope it gathers a large amount of interest! If you have any questions, feel free to ask us.

Thank you for your interest!


Kekkei Genkai claimed by GMs:

  • Sharingan
  • Ketsuryūgan
  • Wood Release

What's the general power level you're looking for at both the genin/chuniin and then timeskip points?

Similar to original naruto for first part, early/late Shippuden for later?

I love Naruto setting but the biggest problem I find is that often people at later game try to turn it into a giant powers dick measuring competition xD

*Usually* end up preferring to play genin as they struggle more and that's more fun.

As an rper I really look for character power balancing because it's more fun when it's fair. And I don't mean nerfing everyone I just mean having most people in the same ballpark so that things can be interesting and aren't obviously one-sided in a fight.

For the power level, that's a pretty accurate scale. In the exams, character power levels will be fairly similar to original Naruto, and then after our timeskip we'll look to be at early to mid Shippuden power levels (there's a longer timeskip here, so it makes sense that characters will have scaled up further). After that, it'll follow a similar scale to Shippuden, ending up on the stronger side.

We'll definitely be looking to have everyone be balanced and fairly even all the way along the scale, that I can assure you. It won't end up being about one or two main characters like Naruto ended up being.

Dormammu I've come to ba... ask questions.

So, my first question was something else but now I'm curious: When it says "claimed by GM" does that mean it's forbidden or is it gonna be used by GMs? Now that I typed out the question I feel like this question inevitably spoils but my curiosity is forbidding me from not asking anyways. ;c

But WAY more importantly: HOW exactly is this AU? I did read OP, of course, and my assumption is: Pre-Naruto-show lore remains but from there on it's our thing? 'cause even though I'm not an expert or anything on the show/manga, as far as I know the lore is pretty fundamentally tied to characters and certain events that kinda enable the whole world and mythos. So I just would like some clarification on that, if possible.

Hi!

In response to the first question, the kekkei genkai mentioned in the OP are the ones that we the GMs are utilizing for our characters. While they're not necessarily forbidden, you'd have to speak with the individual if you wanted to use them! i.e., if you wanted your character to have Sharingan, you'd have to discuss with me, since that's the one that I picked. Having said that, for the most part we're pretty open and will likely be able to work something out!

The second question is: it's an AU in the sense that I've pretty much changed everything. The only thing I'm planning on maintaining from the original lore is the Sage of Six Paths(even then it's so ancient it doesn't matter). Everything from then on has been changed and tweaked. I don't really like using canon characters and stuff like that, so I'm mostly trying to avoid it. I'll have a timeline of recent history up to look at when I make the OOC proper.

Hope that answers your questions alright :)
