The Rebirth of the Shinobi World

The Shinobi World always had one single issue, which would eventually cause It's demise - wars. It's as if it were a loop, with the two strongest/remaining villages going to war, and eventually, things would calm down, even though a lot of lifes were lost, once the war was over it didn't matter. This kind of loop kept going and going, for a lot of time, until it finally ended. The war between Konohagakure and Kirigakure was an essentially endless one. It eventually managed to become the most lasting war ever, and didn't stop there. It was the war with the most deaths, the most destruction...making all other wars a pitiful joke. As to why the war had even begun, it might have been many things which lead to this outcome, such as crazy leaders, people who wanted to avenge their loved ones that died in past war, which meant a huge number of people, lust for power, but ultimately, the main and most important reason of all was simply the need to protect their own village. The Kages might have been crazy, but they really wanted their own village to prosper, and once they felt as if resources and supplies were scarce, they had no other choice but to fight for more land, which eventually resulted in a war. The war was supposed to eventually be stopped, but in the very end, they saw how less people they had to feed, and more resources they obtained, the war seemed oddly enough profitable. After all, they only used equipment which was barely used so they had more than enough for all these years. But once the Kages both died in a fight, the new selected Kages were too happy about this war, due to caring mostly about the outcome and not the way they were obtaining such results. Their stubborness destroyed the two major civilizations remaining, as the war had been going on for too much. Nobody and nothing could stop it.


The two villages contained a weapon of mass destruction, or atleast that’s what it was feared as. These weapons were named ‘Swords of Peace’, since having such power would essentially force the other villages to surrender or perish. All known about them is that long ago, a civilization was wiped out after it had been used. One day, Kirigakure finally decided to siege Konohagakure, and they brought nearly all of their ninjas. In order to prevent this from destroying eachother, they decided to risk it - and used the power of the Sword of Peace Konohagakure had to defeat Kirigakure. The two villages had a Sword of Peace each, but Kirigakure didn’t bother about even caring about theirs - while Konohagakure abused it’s power, in such a way, that it worked in a catastrophic way. Konoha was destroyed, and not many survivors remaining - almost everyone that went to the siege on Kirigakure’s side died. As a result, the Sword of Peace Konohagakure contained was also gone. But now it was a tie - they both lost in this war, terribly bad. A mysterious person considered to be amongst legends. All known about it is it's name: Spirit. This individual, somehow managed to convince both the Hokage and Mizukage to achieve peace, and to finally begin reconstructing the villages while also still developing their ninjas. Kirigakure lost most of it’s ninjas, and thus bandits took over the village, pillaging it. The Sword of Peace is now missing.


Two other villages, Kumogakure and Iwagakure, seemed to actually be perfectly okay, due to the war not affecting them at all whatsoever. Kumogakure and Iwagakure, two smaller villages, saw a deal to possibly benefit  from this whole situation. Konohagakure and Kirigakure both needed help on not only rebuilding the now destroyed villages, but also on moving somewhere the ninjas that remained there. A deal was made, and most of the Konohagakure and Kirigakure ninjas went their own ways, choosing the village they most decided to join. Once the war was all over, the Hokage and Mizukage went into hiding - they were living far away but still controlled the now destroyed villages and their rebuilding. The rebuilding, however, would take such a long ammount of time that a generation would fully die and it still wouldn't be over, atleast without much MUCH more help.

Konoha was mostly associated with Iwagakure and Kiri mostly associated with Kumogakure. The majority of newly trained ninjas from Konoha and Kiri moved to the two controlled villages to have better training. They lived there now, even if it wasn't forever. There were obviously still ninjas inside Kumo and Iwa, but ironically, they were the minority now. Those two minor villages were comprised to give a lot of help to Konoha and Kiri in order to rebuild them, but atleast Spirit got what he technically wanted, Peace, even if it was forced and only brought more chaos to two other villages who weren't at blame whatsoever. As a consequence to all this, Kumo and Iwa didn't have much left on their own hands. They were mostly poor. The relation between the two villages was even more poor - they’ve had many conflicts and even some skirmishes in the past, and not even newer generations have been able to forget about the past, meaning that anyone in Iwagakure will hate anyone in Kumogakure, and vice versa - even if they are from another village.

Eventually, there was a point where both Iwagakure and Kumogakure couldn't give any more help than Konohagakure and Kirigakure wished for, so they were told to go expand their village and their power. They did, and for a bit of time, the deal worked, but not until they were faced with a dilema - the only way to go was to have a war with the other village, and they could just perhaps go with another route, by changing up their economy a bit, or even expanding in another way - but they didn’t care. The higher ups had really wanted war for a long while. Thus, another war seemed to be about to break out, but not just yet. Only time would tell when it would finally begin. A war which was sure to come, and at this point unstoppable. The World was in a bad state, with two villages about to go into war, and with Kumogakure and Iwagakure feeling the lack of help they needed, due to giving them most of their own resources.
