It has been three years since the first Chuunin Exams held in the Land of Seasons. Thanks to this event all countries involved have developed a treaty with one another, and now the Kage Summit is made up of every kage, not just those from the five most powerful countries. To make this happen, once every year, a few months before the first Chuunin Exam of the year, they all meet in the Land of Iron and discuss how many genin should be allowed to enter the exams, how tight security should be, and so on. And because of the incidents of the first exams, namely the genjutsu using Megumi, from Iwagakure, killing tens of genin for seemingly no good reason.

Megumi was, after being nearly killed in the exams by the Amegakure-nin Kiyoko, was taken in for questioning, but they could never get anything out of her. Then, one day, she was dead. No wounds, no poisons in her body, nothing. It was as if her chakra had just disappeared completely, and furthermore there was no sign of anyone other than the shinobi guards who had been to her cell.

During the last matches of the exam Gyaku revealed himself, although still in his transformed state, and tried to steal away Kiyoko, to learn the secrets of her blood jutsu. However, he was stopped by a seemingly random group of genin from several different lands who, when asked why they were so willing to help, said that it was simply because they were friends. It was hard, at first, for the elder shinobi to understand how they could become friends so close that they would risk their lives for one another, but now, seeing this happen over the years, they understand, yet still cannot explain.

Due to this fact they have instated a policy that, whenever a team of shinobi enter into another Land on a mission they gain another teammate, a shinobi from that land, who stays with them until the end of the mission. Thanks to this the relationships between the Hidden Villages has never been better. Even Shinotogakure, New Hidden Sound Village, has joined in these efforts. At this point there are now more jutsu in the world then there has ever been before, because as the shinobi of different villages spend time together they learn from one another, finding ways to develop their neighbors more simple techniques, which allows them to create completely new jutsu unique to that person.

There has been someone else though, someone who has known this fact for a long time. Over the last few years he has gained many more techniques and members for his organization, and now he has made his move, going after the Kage Summit. As of yet it is not clear weather or not he plans to kill them or hold them hostage, but that doesn't matter, as so far they have not been harmed, or even seen the leader of this gang. They have all simply been trapped inside a barrier, which suppresses their chakra enough that they cannot break it, or even use most jutsu.

Now, the elders of each village have decided that a team of highly skilled shinobi should be brought together and sent to the Land of Iron to fix this mess. This team is made up of several shinobi, from all over the ninja world. They will come together just north of the Land of Fire, in a small ghost town village known as Rakkahai no Sato, or the Village of Falling Ash. From here they will move north, to the Land of Iron, where their mission will really begin.

Note*
This is a squeal roleplay based on Chuunin exams in the Land of Seasons. All characters from the original rp are welcome, as are the roleplayers who created them. However, we will also be accepting one or two new characters, depending on how many characters follow over.

Story wise, this is an S-Rank Mission, and only those shinobi of great skill have been chosen for this. That means characters have to be of at least Chuunin level, but can also, and more than likely should be, of Jonin level. Over the last 3 years your characters will have gotten stronger, smarter, and developed more powerful jutsu along the way. Because of the teamwork between villages, they may also know jutsu they normally would not learn within their own village
