Introduction
The feudal era of Japan is something everyone knows about. The honorable and courageous samurai, stealthy and cunning ninja, and beautiful geishas are what come to mind. Everyone knows of the katana-wielding warriors and seductive beauties. But what of the forever mysterious shinobi and kunoichi(female ninja)?
To begin, at the start of the shinobi family tree is the Kunosaki clan. The original clan. Every clan known in in shinobi history has descended from them. Every technique and fighting style, to every weapon and ninja ration recipe. It all started at their hands. In other words they are the Royal bloodline.
However as small groups in the cln began to focus on certain areas in ninja training, smaller clans formed and split away from the original. Of the following clans that formed were Iga, Koga, Fuma, and many more. However, as more clans formed, tensions over territory increased. Eventually the Great Ninja War arose. Many died. Some clans...completely wiped out.
With chaos riding the winds, the Kunosaki clan once again stepped forward and brought forth order. Negotiations and exhausting battles eventually lead to a treaty. Two rules were the main basis. One, the clans may not wage war unless proper reason is given. Two, Larger clans must protect the smaller neighbors. Taking over is not an option. It was enough to keep the fighting at bay.
As time passed, the daimyo of the land began wars of their own. Nobunaga Oda, the Demon King, was the most feared and ruthless. He wished to conquer the land of feudal Japan. Though with numerous small victories, his enemies gained a huge victory for every few he did. He decided to destroy the heart of this problem. The problem was the Ninja. If they were forever allied with those in his way he would never conquer Japan. In Nobunaga's mind one thing was clear. The Ninja clans must join him "willingly" or by force. The message was sent out to every clan.
Their response was to ignore it, a command from the Kunosaki. This merely kept the problem shoved to the side, but not for long. A clan defected. Their reason, power and the long hatred for the other clans. Massacres of entire clans happened as a result, those who survived joined the Demon King. The six strongest clans had hidden away , along with the Royal clan to preserve the ninja. A few months past. An emergency meeting was then called at a forgotten shrine. Each clan leader has decided to bring one of their most skilled, but youngest ninja. The Royal's bring their son and daughter.
However as the meeting progresses, in every clan leader's heart is the intent to kill the Royals and join Nobunaga. They can no longer stand hiding and losing more of their clan. Believing that its for the best, weapons are drawn, and blood stains the ground. The era of the mysterious ninja is over. But hope still exists. The six ninja brought as a guard had seen their leader's intentions and while their leaders engaged in battle with the Royals, escaped with his twin children. A son and a daughter.
Overnight they have become traitors and fugitives. Nowhere to go. Their clans now dangerous enemies.
Young and rash as they are, the group decides they will defeat Nobunaga, preserve the royal bloodline, and rebuild the clans despite what has been lost. The journey won't be easy and here is where your adventure begins...

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 6 authors

I have a question Hio-san...though I think I know the answer....your contract, is with a demon? there was only a hint of a question in his sentence, his tone was quite wary as his hand ever so slowly went to his Katana before he stopped himself Kai isn't doing a deal with nobunaga....... he said that to himself but then noticed he spoke a bit louder than he thought he did...he coughed a bit and stepped forward
my turn to explain an Iga ninjas weaknesses....we don't focus on element manipulation of flash surprise attacks, our.....gifts are more physical and mundane when we start but then become spiritual in essence.... Iga's don't have a weakness that can be exploited like Hio-sans scroll Piitaa glanced tot he scroll and shivered slightly its all about our ability to train our minds and bodies....if i was to name a weakness to exploit it would be....confusion, if you do something unexpected all Iga will do two things. one: they will show themselves by making a mistake due to confusion or two: remain where they are and not act while they try to figure out what to do, our information is critical to our missions, outside influence hinders our concentration, and its our concentration that allows us to use Uzura-gakure our ability to blend with our surroundings
he coughed a bit not liking to give up his secrets, he knew it was the right things to do, he knew it was his idea practically....but he never liked -every- idea he had, he turned to Yuuki who had been silent for a long time Oujo-sama, Ouji-sama you are quiet....do you have any questions or problems with this plan? do you have anything to add perhaps or are you ready to voice your choice in where we should go?
Hio-san started talking about a contract, one not of the mundane realm. She saw the bloodstained scroll and her eyes narrowed. It didn't seem to be the kind negotiated over tea and sweets. Yamahashi asked Hio who her contractor was and noticed his hand was drifting to his weapon. Distrust was still evident. When he started to explain Iga techniques she wandered off onto a branch that extended out into a view of the vast forest.
She looked out and saw trees for miles around. A beaten path wove through the trees. Now on that path a lone figure could be seen. Yuuki watched for a bit, wondering whether it was a common traveler or a threat. As the figure got closer she could make out it was female. No female traveled alone unless they were a miko, kunoichi, or just very brave. She heard Yamahashi calling and she walked casually back to the group, her expression now back to its soft features. "I believe if we disguise ourselves, it should be as the common villager or traveler. Something un-ninja like." She smiled. "But learning about each clan's weakness is very helpful. Thank you." She bowed her thanks. "Finally, I would like formalities to be dropped. Yuuki-chan or Yuu-chan is fine. Right Taka-chan?" She elbowed him.
"We also may have unexpected guest on our way. Whoever she is, I suppose we hide ourselves."

"If you don't believe me...I can understand that." She fell solent after he began explain the technique Iga used to hide. Each detail was taken in and Kai wondered what could cause such confusion. Awhile later Yuuki began to talk with Yamahashi's encouragement. She spoke of dressing as townsfolk or travelers. But the moment the Princess finished about a "visitor"coming, her eyes wandered to possible hiding places. A giant jar in the corner caught her eye.
Sachiyo paused underneath the tree, her eyes narrowing. She looked up and then back down. The platform had touched the ground recently, the grass where it landed uneven. Someone had found her home.
"Assassins?" She whispered. She wove a wire duplicate and used her strings to manipulate it down the path, wearing her favorite kimono. She sighed as she made the figure vanish into the trees and looked up and started to climb, knowing all the dead spots were one couldn't be seen from the top.

he stayed silent now his mind whirring as he clung to a branch hidden in the growth he pushed his hearing to the limit being able to pick up every faint sound it seemed now, the wind breezing through the tree branches, it was as if he could hear the sun grace the leaves with its presence he would be able to hear anyone approaching no matter where they came from....provide it was an ordinary traveler, or a samurai, but if it was a Ninja which was more likely...only a ninja could sneak up on other ninja without getting noticed, a samurai would have been heard a mile away in comparison....a ninja would mean Piitaa would have to work harder to firstly find the person and second to track them....he heard rustling above and below but focusing on hearing and not seeing left Piitaa only able to tell who was near him by their steps and breath and even that put it down to gender for him, he could hear Yuuki moving however as Kai was also of a more stealth focused clan her step would naturally be lighter than the princess who...in Piitaa's mind would have had no stealth training beyond the basics, her sills focused on diplomacy and disguise....only a matter of time before who ever was approaching them...and when they did Piitaa would be ready to jump down and put the long blade to her back, the long reach of the sword able to silence any escape "provided it all goes to plan" he thought to himself "if not then the fun begins"

She wrapped the wires around her throat, allowing the whole tree to echo lightly with her voice. "You trespass in my home."
