There were no more visitors from beyond the stars interfering in the affairs of humanity, the supporting shadow was cast and would protect the world from the celestial beings for all time. Still there was a lasting indelible mark left by these godlike immortals for it was their princess who was the progenitor of chakra and from her loins sprang the “Savior of This World”, the Sage of Six Paths. It was he who had benevolently gave mankind the gift of ninjutsu hoping to create a peaceful existence for his charges. However as many now know, the history of the Sage of Six Paths was much more vast and complicated than this. It was his mother who greedily sought divinity by stealing the lifeblood from this planet. While the Sage’s gift to the followers of Ninshū was meant to bring peace but it’s other purpose was to defend humanity from the invaders who would seek to steal the life of the planet and bring forth a God Tree that would beget the end of everything. Much time has passed since this era and due to the efforts of multiple generations of the legendary Uzamaki and Uchiha bloodlines the vile Ōtsutsuki would never set foot on this planet ever again. Without the presence of these abominable terrors from the sky the world would go on to thrive for a considerable length of time, the peace that faltered from years of horrid interventions was finally a reality. The Sage of Six Paths’ dream of everlasting peace was seemingly ever present. Though what ailed the world was not just the Ōtsutsuki, as they were simply a symptom and not the disease. The animus for these actions formed well before the existence of that empyrean species, a much more malevolent and abstract force was at play here, avarice. If such an affliction could topple those wretched almighty forces then what hope does humanity have? There is no jutsu mightier, there is no disease more ravenous, nor a tailed beast or demon more destructive than avarice. It is an infection that is thought borne spreading from person to person and in turn working its way up and through the monolithic hierarchy of every country on this planet. You see while we worried about unnatural forces from outside no one realized that humanity was its own greatest enemy. Even now with rapacious vigor a country like Konoha, the home that the vaunted 7th Hokage protected, mimics the progenitor of chakra seeking to use the lifeblood of the planet for whatever purpose they see fit. Suna and Iwa hover around Fuzen like vultures wanting to pillage their land for precious metal. Kiri and Kumo still insist on using children to murder and if they are unable to murder then they are collateral fodder. Their greed is the sword we will use to cut them down. We are blessed by an irresistible force that has elevated the ground beneath our feet. To hold a seat at the table means you were highborn, chosen by a power beyond comprehension to fulfill a destiny fraught with benevolence. This world is twisted because there are limits and frailty to normal humans. We are the Table and we will save this world.
