The History

The 4th Great Shinobi was all but a distant memory in the hearts of the young Shinobi who still linger in the great lands. Some are going through poverty, others through exceptional wealth and prosperity. The two wealthiest lands currently are the Land of Fire with the Hidden Leaf Village, and the Land of Waves with the Hidden Mist Village. The Hidden Rain and Whirlpool are the lowest of this totem pole, with the Whirlpool Village being rebuilt under the rule of the 7th Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki. Now long since deceased, 120 years after the war, the Hidden Leaf Village is currently in the process of selecting a Shinobi worthy of succeeding the current Hokage, the son of Konohamaru Sarutobi.

One member is already well known, but his affiliation with such a group has yet to be revealed. Should cause present itself a rallying cry from the world once again, this group is sure to be involved. All that is known is their symbol atop their coats mid shoulder.
