For 150 years the peace held. But now, great trouble is stirring within the land again, as a small, and relatively new village, Yamigakure (Village Hidden in the Darkness) has dark machinations in work. Their representative to the council has been planting the seeds of greed within the shinobi of Kotonashigakure, trying to corrupt them, and convince them that they should not merely hold the balance between the countries, but rule over them. That they should use their superior power to take over the world, instead of protect it. Which side will you fall on? Will you fall prey to your darker nature, and allow your lust for power to push you onto a darker path, or will you hold true to virtue, and try to uphold the balance that has allowed a greater peace and prosperity than the world has ever seen?

The Village Hidden with the Lions:
The Lion Village is well known for it's immensely hot and dry climates. It received its name from the lions that inhabit the region. A lot of Ninja in the village make use of the lions as familiars. Another thing the village is renowned for is its fire jutsus. Such jutsus include, but aren't limited to: Fire dragon jutsu, Fire fists jutsu, Fire wall jutsu, and Fire ball jutsus. Ninja from the Village Hidden with the Lions typically wear shaded goggles over their eyes as well as loose and cool clothing, due to the extreme heat of their home.
There are two Ninja Bloodlines with Kekkai Genkai amongst the village.
The first is the Sutachi-clan. The Sutachi have the ability to obtain chakra from fire, high heat, and the sun. Hitting any part of a Sutachi-clan heir's skin with fire, heat, or sunlight will fill their chakra levels within minutes. However a day or two without sunlight, high heat, or fire will cause their chakra to be completely drained and they would require twice amount of the time spent out of sunlight spent in sunlight to become full power again.
The second is the Tategishin-clan. The Tategishin bloodline has one of the legendary sensory Kekkai Genkai. They can "smell" your chakra vibrations in the air. Through these vibrations they can tell what kind of jutsu you are going to be doing. They can also "smell" through even the most powerful genjutsu. The Tategishin ability is much like the Sharingan, but requires more focus and chakra then the eye jutsu.
The village is know as the Village Hidden in the Stars. The main Village is located at the top of a high Plateau hidden from view below. This place allows them to have a uninterrupted view of the sky and the stars at night, hence the name. This Village is quite small as far as villages go, their number of SHinobi and Kunoichi are few, but strong. Because of this low number of combat ready Ninja, they keep the whereabouts of their village a secret, but that does not mean that they are not ready to deal with a threat if it comes. It would be some what difficult to ambush the village because of it's location and great view, on top of that, most of the Shinobi are Jonin class level.
The Village does accept missions from other nations, but their prices are quite high because the abscence of even one Shinobi or Kunoichi is felt in the village, so small is it's size. There is one more very important fact about the Village, the Shinobi of that Village have developed a style of combat that borrows from the twelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Each style has a specific advantage that it gives in combat, whether it be a actual style of combat and chakra manipulation, to a specific type of Genjutsu . Training for any of these styles is usually very intensive and even dangerous. There is a hierarchy to the twelve styles , meaning that some styles are stronger then others. For instance, The top three are the Dragon, The Tiger and then the Dog[wolf]. The Sutakage is usually a master of the Dragon, or Tiger.
-The Village Hidden In The Steel-
For years this settlement was terrorized by a horrific sea creature by the name of TokageKoutetsu (meaning steel lizard or lizard of steel.) The people of the small settlement would bring sacrifices to the bay of the lake as an offering of peace to the creature. Sacrificial ceremonies went on in this settlement and the more they did it, the more they became accustomed to those ways. A great warrior by the name of Togu, a member of the Shigizane lineage, a small child at the time knew what was happening and that it wasn't right. Togu's father Daigo, leader of the small force of shinobi in the settlement raised Togu to think that if this mayhem was to end, that Togu had to be the one that ended it. Years went by as Togu grew older and gained higher status amongst the shinobi of the village. By the time he was 10, Togu's father had trained Togu to the highest of standards. Upon Togu's 18 birthday, a document was signed stating that under the command of Daigo Shigizane, the force of water shinobi were to go to the bay at midnight when the creature rose, and defeat it. If the order was not carried our correctly, all under the rule and member of the Shigizane lineage were ordered to leave the village. Upon the order being carried out correctly, 4th Chair to the Shigizane bloodline, Daigo Shigizane would be promoted to ruler of that land and upon that build the settlement into a village. The battle went on longer than expected and in the aftermath a total of 5,780 ninja were defeated. Still, both Togu and Daigo endured the fierce battle and returned to the settlement alive. Daigo was promoted to MizuTenno (Heavenly Water Ruler) of that land. As stated the settlement went under major construction from damage of the battle and building the village. Trade for merchants and other sellers boomed as they sold the steel from the creatures tomb and body to other villages military and so on. Things were going great, Togu continued to train under the supervision of a master of water techniques until gaining the status of perfection, and then. .tragedy struck. Daigo Shigizane had died of injuries from the past battle with the creature. A ceremony was held and the ruler was buried beneath the village in a water vault of spiritual protection. Next in line as MizuTenno was Togu. This made Togu one of the youngest rulers in all lands at the time. Upon taking the throne, Togu decides to build up and army due to paranoia of attacks and other creatures or enemies. He opens up a grand dojo and begins teaching the children and dedicated men and women the jutsu of the Village Hidden In The Steel.
The Village Hidden by the Lightning
The Hidden Lightning village rests atop Mt. Rai, a mountain surrounded by a near perpetual lightning storm. It is a medium sized village founded long ago by Takeshi Ryuu, the first "Raikage" Takeshi was a outcast from one of the ancient villages for being a slacker, suposedly. Takeshi then vowed to prove them wrong by creating his own village. He climbed to the tap of Mt. Rai, then completely unihabited, and set up hsi village. Needless to say, not many people came there at first, but eventually the trickle of newcomers became a stream. Because of its location, the village was based around lightning and wind jutsu, but always lightning first. About ten people a year were kiilled by lightning originally, so that's why they always trained wsith lightning.
Now a days, it is a is the ninja village for one of the smaller countries, but that doesn't mean they're weak. They will also freelance and do work for other countries, so long as thei rown country is safe.
Kekkai Genkai-
Raiken- This is the name of the bloodline trait of the Kinomoto Family. It is the ability to "feel" electricity in the air or any other medium. This gives them an unpresidented level of control over lightning jutsu, making them able to use the most powerful lightning attacks ever thought of.
Fun'iki Koukai- This is the Kekkai Genkai of the Satoya Family. While it (supposedly) means "Aura Sight," is really more of the ability to sense your opponents (or anyones) wants or feelings, and also there actions. In a way, it gives you a window into the future of the target, telling you what they will do next. Therefore, most of the Satoya family are Taijutsu specialists, and are very well know for rarely losing in a one on one fight. The draw back is that most users can only sense one person at a time (although some truely gifted can sense two or even three), and that they have to have made eye contact with the person they are reading. When the power is activated, the users eyes change to have black irises and and a colored pupil. (the color depends on the strength of the user. The weakest will have brown, the midclass red, the higher ones have deep blue, and the very best have golden.)
Koudogakure no Sato ((Translated as Village Hidden in the Stones)) is located at the base of a tall mountain at the end of an expansive desert. The entrance to the village is hidden behind a maze of passages through cliffs that only those from the village know the correct way through. Anyone attempting to enter the village would have to be escorted by a Hidden Stone ninja to gain entrance. The Hidden Stone village was founded by a man named Ichiba Koudora, a descendant of the Koudora clan. The Koudora clan started off as a small village of ninja who were naturally in tune with the earth. They developed countless techniques to move the world around them, allowing them to build and advance fairly quickly. However the larger villages soon noticed the usefulness of their jutsu. Because of this the Koudora clan's village was pillaged and attacked time and time again in an attempt by other villages to learn their secrets. Because of this the villagers withdrew themselves from most of the world. They crossed the Great Desert. In their travels another clan joined their ranks. This was the Youchi clan. Together the two clans built a great village behind the barriers of the cliffs and with time the village grew, but because of their past the people of the village are highly suspicious of outsiders and only travel outside their village to trade. Even then they never drop their guard. Koudogakure is known for its unparalleled earth jutsu and taijutsu. ((I would name some, but Naruto never really showed that many earth type jutsus. I'm open for suggestions))
Kekei Genkai : There are two bloodlines in the Village Hidden in the Stones. One is the Koudora blood line and the other is the Youchi bloodline.
The Koudora clan uses the Earth Guardian Jutsu. This ability allows them to summon Golem's made from the earth itself to defend them. The strength of the golem depend on the level of the user. Genin can usually only summon small animal like golems like dogs or wolves. Jonin can summon large humanoid golems up to 15 feet in height.
The Youchi clan are the taijutsu masters of the village, known for their incredible speed and power. Their speed is accomplished by using their Kekei Genkai called Shukuchi or "Reduced Earth." The technique could also be considered a space/time jutsu as it potentially allows the user to shorten, or reduced the distance between himself and his destination, allowing the user to move at seemingly impossible speeds.

The standard, no Godmodding, no Powerplaying, etc...
All characters must start out weak, no one may be higher ranked than a genin without mod approval.
I'll be running the story, and moving the game through a plot progression, so don't just make shit up randomly, don't toss villains in without my ok, and don't have your character increase their power, or learn new jutsus without my ok. Starting off, everyone will be weak, and as the game moves on, everyone will get better.
All Kekkei Genkais, original jutsus, weapons, villages, etc... must be approved by the mods first.
If you create your own Kekkei Genkai, you must create your own village to be from, or you must gain the approval of the creator of the village you choose to be from.
