New OOC Intro by Partisan: July 14, 2015.
Naruto: Road to Ninja”

“This is a thumbs up. It's denoting a gesture of friendship. Do you accept?” - Saburo Uchiha






Overview”

“Voila! My magical tent is here!” - Aoi Don Maquia
“Wow, this is a neat trick Aoi, where'd you learn it? And where did you get the tent too, for that matter?” - Akio Tendou




To give you a short overview, it's important to represent where we are currently in the Narutoverse. After all the Narutoverse is filled with stories of old, so it'd be a good idea to represent that by giving a timeline to start with. Our RP takes place 200 years after the birth of Sarada Uchiha and Boruto Uzumaki. For the setting that means we'll be living in a somewhat more modern world (comparable to ours) but this being Naruto and thus, being highly inconsistent with tech canonically (there's been earpieces and mecha's but then we also have swords, and no guns), we have taken several liberties to maintain the feeling of Naruto that we all love so dearly.

As such you have to imagine a mildly modern setting, where we now have things mixed like a low amount of trucks, cars and motorbikes, but also still have prominent carriages with horses, mules or what have you. This also means that new tech has made new social changes, and as such the shinobi are featured less prominently in shinobi villages, that are now turning into something more akin to.. shinobi cities? Either way, skyscrapers and economical centers now litter the horizon inside the village, although it's obviously not as bad as it seems - there's still some quiet places you can hang out, or live. The changing social scene has also led to a decrease in the number of shinobi, atleast in the smaller villages. The main forces are still in the five big villages and even there they have a lower wage than before - it's not so much possible anymore to get by on a genin-wage.

This RP will also feature a more slice-of-life approach, although that is debateable. We will ofcourse still do plenty of missions, but we like character interaction as much as the fights in Naruto, and as such we place a prominent focus on the character interactions. Don't worry, you can still beat up bad guys. Another thing that is important for us is balance and we make sure to review each sheet adequately. If you want a powerful missing nin, it's probably best to look elsewhere. But Partisan, you might say, you have rules about prodigies and how they're better than the rest! That's not balanced! Ah, yes. You see, besides the balance, we also like conflict not only with outside forces (missing nin, typical bad guys or organisations) but we also like internal conflict where multiple characters don't like eachother. The prodigies are a tool to us to achieve this - most of them are, you'll find, not social at all and some even have some form of a god complex, or at the very least are a bit more arrogant. They're more or less tools to assure that we have some conflict between characters, atleast at the start.




General Rules”

“I am surprised that you picked a fight with Yamato-senpai after that. Yamato-senpai is quite capable, and I think he would beat both of us with ease.” - Saburo Uchiha
“That Yamato bastard won't beat me. I don't plan on losing to him, Kusaru, or anyone for that matter. Add that to your encyclopedia of facts.” - Daiki Naito




  • No godmodding.
  • No perfect characters (Mary Sue and Gary Stu).
  • GM team has final say. Always.
  • One-lining not acceptable. Two lining isn't either.
  • Consistency is key. We understand posting a little less sometimes. There's limits, though.
  • Beware the gore; yes, it's allowed but don't overdo it.
  • As for sexual content, take it to PM's and show us a fade to black; make it implied. What you do privately isn't our concern. It's RPG's concern, however.
  • RPG rules apply. Always.
  • Respect everyone. Please do not argue OOCly. Do what you need to if it is ICly.
  • Changes may be made with or without notice. Probably with, because we are online 24/7.
  • Kekkei Genkai are to be made unique. If they are blatant copy paste or cliché we reserve the right to decline them.
  • Same applies to hiden.
  • No tailed beasts for now. Why? Because you need to earn it ICly with our acceptance, not be gifted it. Don't ask, unless you believe it's detrimental to your character that's been around a while.
  • Your character is a chunin, not Madara. No EMS, Rinnegan, whatever the hell you can think of. Keep it simple, but interesting.
  • 1 A Rank, 4 B Rank, 4 C Rank techniques for all Chuunin. No real limit on E-D, but don't overdo it. We're giving you freedom but that doesn't mean you need to use all E-D ranks in existence.
  • Prodigies have the benefits of being 2-4x stronger than regular chuunin and having an additional A rank jutsu. The prodigies are meant to sow initial division between players, to enforce a degree of conflict between the players aside from the obvious plot driven conflicts. Don't ask for one, we will approach you.
  • Be diverse and dynamic with creating your characters; don't be set in stone for what you want and be prepared to change your ideas as we go. This means; don't be an asshole if you don't get what you want. Either scrap the idea or change it to our liking.
  • Be original, don't be a rip-off of the original cast and their kids. I know it's hard but I believe in you guys. You can be related to but that's different than I'm Madara's kid who somehow survived all those years.
  • The GM team is full of idiots. We make mistakes. Deal with it, we're here for our own pleasure as much as yours.




Character Relations”

“I never knew people like Kusaru and Gian existed. I have a long way to go if I ever want to become Hokage.” - Giichi Uzumaki
“You might be revered as a God by some, Kusaru, the Savior. But I am the only God here.” - Yamato Minamoru




Feel free to fill this in for your character - it showcases how your character views others. You can do this on every character, or you can do it only for those that matter for your character. Entirely optional, but fun to do.






Interesting Links”

“Sanguine. I will kill you. I don’t care what I have to do, but I will do it.” - Jaakuna Sawada
“Am I scared? ..damn right, I'm shit scared!” - Takeshi Ruzuzaki
“Well, good thing I came prepared for an overnight stay, by bringing absolutely nothing...” - Shin Maru




Location list - this is a list of (possible) locations in the RP. There are more obviously, but these are the ones we created to give players some freedom as to where to go with predefined locations. Want to go on a date with another character? Why not visit the Minamoru Restaurant, the Mighty Naruto? Or maybe you want something classier, in which case the Don Maquia Opera and Theatre is probably the right way to go.

Arc 1: Road to Party - in arc 1 of the RP the crew sets out to have a party at Yamato's lakehouse, but things turn bad when three other fresh chunin graduates were murdered in the bushes.
Arc 1: The Meeting - in this chapter the crew meets before heading out to face a danger. It shows that these chunin are still desperate for acknowledgement from higher up as they chase after the killers themselves.
Arc 1: Ending - in this chapter the arc is ended. This is the end post, marking the start of the next arc.

Arc 2: Start - in this chapter, arc 2 was started with the mission to retrieve several scrolls for the land of Iron, which would open up diplomatic capabilities with the secluded samurai.
Arc 2: Meeting Kusaru, ending - in this chapter, the crew meets Kusaru and her henchman and companion, Gian. The two don't seem hostile but have a kill order on their head, so Yamato and Daiki attack. The rest of the crew either joins or stops them, leading to a lack of bloodshed. Kusaru seems satisfied and leaves, after a show of good will.

Naruto World, Geography and Places

Locations in Konohagakure

Credited to Partisan




An overview




As the years changed so did Konohagakure: with the Shinobi becoming less and less important with the arrival of new technologies, and the need for housing ever growing it was evident that the city had to expand in ways not thought of before. With new technologies like cranes and such skyscrapers made a new appearance. These small appartments were available for small sums to accomodate the lowered wages for those hit by the technological outbreak. It wasn't all positive, but nowadays the negative side effects of technology are largely overcome.

The city is still bustling with greenlife, as is Konoha's tradition. They are after all still a village hidden in the leaves. As such there are plenty of parks and recreational areas, lakes with beach shacks to enjoy a calm day in. There are also plenty of new shopping streets, loaded with different styles of shops - new shopping centres or even shopping skyscrapers have appeared, with every shop you can imagine located conveniently in 1 spot. Not to say that there is no traditionalistic small housing areas, because those are still plentiful.


Smalltown aka Minato City




Smalltown is the traditional part of town; an area reserved mostly for middle class incomes with an occasional lower class or higher class citizen living there as well. Defining features are a traditional and calm feel, as the area is largely populated by small families with two working parents, schoolgoing children and some older couples. Besides houses the area is also rich in small shops attached to some houses - for instance, ramen shops, gift shops or small supermarkets.



Although Smalltown is intended for usage mainly by families, the areas closer to the center of the village frequently see lots of students and people going out, and as such there's not as many supermarkets or regular shops, and more ramen shops and bar's present in the area. As such it's a good hangout for many of the local youth, whether they come from smalltown itself or from an area in the high density housing areas. Some of the more notable and useable features of this area include...






Financial District aka Naruto City.


With the growing populations there was a call for an economical district, an area rich with skyscrapers, offices and large shopping malls to contrast the small traditional shops in Smalltown. And as a result Moneylanes appeared, funded and constructed by the Minamoru Building Corp. which was founded and led by Reijo Minamoru, Yamato Minamoru's father, who is a well known politician and economist, and also has questionable connections to the local mafia.



The small and bustling streets offer many shops, many of which are owned by the Minamoru family. Some of the stores are catered to Shinobi, such as Minamoru's Shinobi Superstore - Buy your senbon launcher today, and get a 50% discount! Ahem. Yes, there's plenty of commercials and hanging boards everywhere - a hazard for shinobi who are looking to get around the financial district quickly by jumping above the streets. Besides the obvious financially aimed buildings located in skyscrapers and covered shopping malls, there's some noteworthy buildings here such as the Don Maquia Opera and Theater, located in the Southeast of the district.

    Noteworthy locations inside the Financial district.





Downtown aka the Downtown Danzou


When Downtown gets mentioned in an official report, it's usually a filing of murder, because downtown is where all the ugly stuff happens - the lower class lives here, mostly people who lost their jobs when technology took over. Seeing as Konohagakure enjoys a status of being the most central village, this area is rich in immigrants from Sunagakure and Kumogakure. Some of these immigrants are shinobi who have gone great lengths to hide that fact from the officials, lest they be slated into service of the Konohagakure armed forces. As such there are sometimes particularily violent crimes here as ex-shinobi commit murders, thefts and arson. Most of the jonins spend a lot of time here keeping the peace, an effort that has proven relatively fruitless. It's become so bad, the local Yakuza has also decided enough is enough and started cracking down violently on these immigrants causing trouble - this has done nothing but increase violence, fear and increased the workload for the jonins heavily. The area is quite bad, but there are sparkles of hope - some of the children in this area that went to the Shinobi base school turned out to be excellent mediators in these areas as they know how the people here live - as a result there's been a 50% decrease in violence when a local shinobi interferes, rather than a shinobi from another area.


“Some kids from Odarame street, Downtown, hanging around.”





Village outskirts


Although Konoha is stilled walled in, their borders expand far beyond those walls. As such there are numerous (often wealthy) families living in their own little estates or houses outside of the village to maintain a maximum of peace, quiet and ofcourse, to demand respect since there are little people who can afford to live here. As such it's mostly lonesome shinobi who've been granted their own space, and wealthy families that reside here.

The outskirts consist of a large forested area if we go by the definition of Konoha's borders, so for simplicty we'll only consider the area within 5km around the village, which is where most people live anyway. Aside from forests there are also plenty of lakes, some small and some large - beach houses are commonplace here nowadays. Some of the noteable areas in the area include...



  • Konoha Police Force


    The main Konoha police force is located at the top of the city of the Hokage Mountains, it is one of the biggest buildings and a slice of Blood Prison is implemented inside. There are currently 20 branches of Konoha Police Force in the village.

    Legend behind the Police Force in the modern era is that, it is restarted by Uchiha Sasuke and no longer does it involved Uchiha but any ninja of any clan or not can be part of the police force. The Uchihas just happened to be a special unit of the police force because it is their specialty.

    Justice never sleeps! The police patrols 24/7 and to no end everyday! We are L.V.P.D = Leaf Village Police Department.

Konoha's History - The Past Hokage




Credited to Savato.



Famed for: Founder of Konoha, Mokuton, Sage mode.

Famed for: Mastering all the techniques in Konoha and reaching the highest approval rating of them all.

Famed for: Dealing with the 4th Shinobi war, greatest medical nin of her time, strongest woman of her time.



Famed for: His trademark sharingan, sensei of the saviors of this world, prodigy in ninjutsu.



Famed for: Defeating Pain of the Rinnegan, saving the world, general mastery of all Tailed Beast powers, achieving the level of the Rikkudo Sennin, reforming Konoha's position in the world and bringing upon an era of peace.



Famed for: Being the first Uchiha as a leader, restoring the Uchiha clan, reforming the general organization of the police force.



Danzo Shimura's great grand daughter and victim of general public shame once many Konoha governmental documents were declassified. The Shimura fell from their grace during the orange Hokage's and Sarada's reign, pushing them into tight social dilemmas and limiting their access to certain jobs. Though the clan wasn't responsible for Danzo's many illegal activites, their indeniable link to him caused general distrust from the populations and a need to receive an apology from the entirety of the clan.

Momo Shimura was a firm believer in jutice and sought to make things right. Her clan apologizing was of course, an outrageous option, but Konoha's anger wasn't unjustified. Having as much talent as the progenitor of this mess, she quickly ascended ranks and befriended Sarada Uchiha as she reached the end of her term. Despite the suffering brought to the Uchiha by the Shimura, Momo was deeply trusted by Sarada and was, quite ironically, given charge of Root. As salvation for her clan and to purge the sin of Konoha's past, she abolished the entire organization and instored a new insitution known as the 11th Corp. It would be founded on similar operations, but adhering to general human rights and of course, would only work via the approval of the population.

This action not only earned Konoha's forgiveness toward the past but also allowed Momo to be demanded as the Hokage when Sarada reached the limit of her position. Her reign as Hokage was a rather peaceful one with multiple reforms regarding the law being made, especially with general expension going on.

Famed Ability: Oxygen Siphon




Gonba was the choice after Momo, being the great grandson of the famous Ichiraku ramenshop owner. It didn't seem like an obvious choice but he had transformed into a great cooking nin, who was able to use the instruments of his cookery in displays of great strength, and use his raw ingredients to attack.

However the reason for his choosing wasn't his strength, although it was definetely a factor, it was his ongoing support for the industrialization for Konohagakure, which played a large part in the current situation of Konoha's politics. At this time it wasn't expected that the industrialization would impact the shinobi trade as heavily as it did, providing Gonba with a large amount of support to become Hokage. Progresses made under his rulership included the creation of a high tech police facility, which over the years made regular shinobi investigators almost obsolete to the point where shinobi investigators were only called on when a crime was commited by a shinobi.

Furthermore the building of a large scale kunai factory was done, providing even regular citizens with a set of these for a cheap price, but ultimately, also meant that regular citizens had a lesser need for protection by Konohagakure shinobi, and ultimately also led to the devaluation of the kunais in circulation at that point in time.

Famed Ability: The Ultimate Recipe




A Hokage whom, like the old times, proved his worth through power alone. Recognized as the strongest Shinobi Konohagakure had produced since Hiruzen Sarutobi and Naruto Uzumaki. However Tenzu was mostly known for being the first shinobi to have both parents come from the Water Country, while he was born in Konoha as they immigrated. He lived off poor most of his life as his parents had very low qualifications, he didn't gave much of a choice and enrolled as a pofessional shinobi.

He discovered his telents there and became known as the most talented Chuunin of the decade when he was 15. A year later he was promoted to Jonin and was given highly sensitive operations. He eventually hit politics as his notoriety got the attention of many big shots, and later on his portfolio was massive enough to enclude people from all parts of the country. As he reached the Hokage's personal circle, he already had many mob bosses supporting him, which left Gonba lacking in trust toward the powerful shinobi.

As Gonba passed away, Konoha was given a choice, and Tenzu was not one of the recommended nin to be elected. However, the massive lobby Tenzu had achieved and his general prowess that assured many military oriented inviduals got him the votes to reach the top. He is still considered the Fourth God of Shinobi to this day despite the many scandals regarding him.

Famed Ability: Weather manipulation




Mariko's primary skills were not in combat or martial prowess but rather in diplomacy and economics. There was a large call for this after Tenzu nearly instigated a world war and a break down of the shinobi alliance with his violent shows of power, which were almost on par with the fourth Raikage's bouts of showing off.

Mariko Hyuuga had a hard time dealing with the increased level of Yakuza activity in Konohagakure despite attempts to reform, including crack downs, bargaining and even surrendering power to them at points in time. Despite all attempts to get rid of the illegal Yakuza activity she remained largely unsuccesful and was mocked constanly for failing to deal with the issues at hand, despite her best efforts.

Current critics say there was little she could've done but she is still widely regarded as the 'worst Hokage to ever exist' and as a result of that she resigned at an early age and immigrated to Kumogakure, along with a small portion of the side branch to protect her byakugan.

Famed ability: Hyuuga prodigy




Current Hokage.
