History of the Shinobi World

Basic overview (in less detail in the academy's hisotry class section)

In the beginning, there were our good little friends, hte Roaming gnome from Travelocity and teh Cavemen. The cavemen jsut ran around, whacking mammoths and hitting over the head any person who got too annoying. So after a while, some n00b found metal. so he upgraded ot Metal, and his str +20. so then everyone got to use steel weapons, so atk nad def +20. so then people were now smart enough to know how to kill each other. and tehy did that with gusto. it was around that time that some began to evolve abilities. some people could at will manipulate the energy in their bodies, labelled as "Chakra (due to the overwhelming Japanese influence. it appears in Fullmetal ALchemist the dominant language is German, and in teh real world, it's english). of course, human do not like difference. so they kicked these people out of hteir little ghettoes nad mud huts, and they became outcasts. meanwhile, it appears that a dimensional rift occured, possibly purely by accident in Soul SOciety. the Raw power fo the Bount Project caused a dimensionaly rift to appear, and SOul Society made contact, staying low. In the meantime, Daimyos (feudal lords) led their own factions in war against each other. at some point, some saw the power the chakra user would affordt them. so the CHakra users were taken in as the elite and trained only to fight. this became two sides of the same coin. On one side were the Samurai, the noble side of teh Chakra users. Modest, quiet and honorable, they represented the bright side of the coin, respected by enemy and friend alike. on the dark side were the shinobi--Ruthless, highly trained nad efficient, but relying on the darkness. while they were much more effective in their roles, they were frowned upon by the people and the samurai. The shinobi congregated in their own villages, while the unswervingly loyal Samurai stayed with the daimyo. as a result, as the wars continued, the samurai were badly whittled down, while the allied Shinobi villages were largely unharmed. Finally, One warlord united all of Kaze no Tairiku--the Continent of teh WInd, and took his seat in two places--teh city of eternal moonlight in the north (das ewige Mondlicht), and the city of eternal sunlight (also known as San Miguel) in the deep south. this man became emporer. for a long tiem, the shinobi gathered their strength, while the Samurai geared for the inevitable battle, as both sides set up their pieces in the fight for the best spots on the chessboard. The uneasy peace fell when the 14th emperor died. instantly, the SHinobi struck, taking the village of Eternal Sunlight withotu much of a fight. the vilalge of eternal moonlight was held by the Samurai, and thus began the Samurai-Shinobi war.

The Samurai Shinobi war

This war had long been prepared for--everyone knew that the Samurai, fastidiously honorable, would never live in peace with the shinobi. and they were right. The Samurai were at a distinct disadvantage. tehir Jutsu were considerbaly less advanced, and their numbers were lower after the intense struggle. their honor did not help. However, teh Samurai had more able commanders and the support of most of the population, making it quite even. however, the Samurai were defeated everywehre, and finally, their capital, the city of eternal moonlight, fell. the last remainders retreated to the north (present-day mist adn snow) where they fought doggedly. the Shinobi were unable to subdue them, and eventually a cease-fire was proclaimed. by this time, the Samurai were almsot devoid of power, and hte Feudal lords were merely puppets under their patron Shinobi village, the Kage. for a time, each vilalge grew and strenghtened its borders. However, soon the Kage looked jealously to each other's territory. Mass conscriptions began, and boht shinobi and nonshinobi armies formed alliances, creating giant factions. At the same time, this hatred also was notable due to the emergence of Demons--Arrancar who had become a seperate, more powerful species. tehy hid in teh shadows, waiting...

The Great Shinobi wars

The first Great shinobi war was a confusing affair. NObody knows what started the war, but an alliance between the Forest Alliance (notably Leaf and Waterfall) and the storm allaince (Cloud, Grass, Stone). while it was a fierce war, Konoha nad Waterfall were defeated and plunged into economical depression. however, the 1st hokage took up the mantle, and he subsequently set himself about to healing the wounds of war and preparing to avenge their bitter defeat.

And that was how teh second great shinobi wars started. the nonaffiliated Crescent League (snow and sand) were attacked by cloud. seizing on the excuse, Sand, Snow, Waterfall and Konoha attacked. The next war was now worldwide. Sand and its new Ally Konoha and Waterfall campaigned against Cloud, Stone, Grass and Rain. As Snow watched with increasing tenacity, the village of the Star joined Konoha and the village fo the dragonfly joined Stone. While Rain stood by Stone, Mist soon declared war on Stone. teh Kaguyas simply enjoyed the battles. The war spread across the oceans as well. In the Eastern Continents, (the TNR galaxy), Glacier, Frost, Current, shine and shroud declared war on Konoki and Silence, the two largest villages (as well the lesser vilalges of wind nad smoke). Glacier stood with Stone adn Konoki wtih Konoha, close relatives. In the Western teater, Konoha was victorious, wiping out Stone nad badly weakening the vilalge fo the dragonfly. In the East, Konoki and Silence beat Current and Shine into submission whiel Glacier watched tentatively. Another uneasy peace continued.

By the third great Shinobi wars, Teh 3rd Hokage, Sarutobi, now was mroe active. teh same alliances continued, but now villages were destroyed. The vilalge of teh dragonfly was absorbed by Cloud after its defeat by Konoha. Teh village of Smoke was absorbed into Konoki adn Wind into silence. Glaicer and Frost Joined together into Glacier, and great jumps in technology were made. Under a group fo Scinetists, MysTech (formerly under Cloud whe n iwas Kage) began investigating steam power, and now Steam Airships struggeld wti hteh coutnry fo Snow's Blimps. Just as both sides were about to release their sealed demons, a cease fire occured between Cloud nad Konoha, and eventulaly, msot fighting died down (almost wrecked with the Hyuuga incident, but it was rejected). Cloud, Glacier, Silence, Konoki, Konoha nad Sand remained the world powers. However, Sands' Economy was ruined, and Cloud was now divided, with a new unstead yKage at hte helm (me, hehehe). Cloud weakened, and the Konoha Massacre weakened Konoha greatly. At the same time, Demon attacks escalated, nad the ragged survivors of demon attacks formed the QUincy, figthing a shadow war with the shinigami (who eventually overcame the QUincy). The truce also started the international Chuunin exams.

Tailed beasts

The invasion of the tailed beasts brought alogn a time of great unity. countries united to defeat the 20 tailed beasts. yet they only succeeded with 11. 9 were sealed away...however, the cost was great. most Kage died, including the greatest of the hoakge, Yondaime. peace returned, interrupted only with Orochimaru's attempt to subvert the People of Cloud and a war between SHroud nad the other countries in teh East.

Until the present

during this time of peace, prosperity grew, but udner it all, people were still rearming. teh Quincy finally secured peace with the Shinigami, and yet MysTech and others secretly flourished. After the 7th Hokage, Shichiaimi Konohamaru Sarutobi, was the 8th hokage, our present one KOnaru Yadaime. Sand has kind of faded into teh background, wheil Sound now is a more importatn coutnry. however, tehre were small wars, mostly snow against Lotus, Snow and Konoha. hwoever, Snow was as a result weakened, and Nidaime NarutoZac was suceeded by Sandaime Beelzebub and then Yondaime Lalo Uchiha. Konaru, on the ohter hand, died for a tiem, succeeded by the Kudaime, Amour.Yondaime Jan Hakura was also replaced with godaime Koddy Sino, where Jan became the Juunidaime Kusakage of Grass.
