1st Arc: Frail Peace.

Current Arc:
 
The Shinobi World is currently in an almost Warring state.
Shinobi Endure is set 5 years after the Death of Naruto Uzumaki, Konohamaru Sarutobi succeeded Naruto and became the 8th Hokage whom then chose the current Hokage we have today. The 5 Great Nations are currently relatively peaceful aside from Rogue Shinobi who threaten them from time to time and various other threats to the Shinobi world as a whole, however, Villages are getting tense, seeking out power and Tailed Beasts. The new Generation of Shinobi weren't old enough to understand the values and greatness that Naruto Uzumaki and his comrades brought to the Shinobi World, the new Kage's are mostly young and wish to protect only their own Villages believing that any Village other than theirs are out to destroy them. Whilst some Villages still have alliances, they seem frail, Konoha still retains the Kyuubi and many people see this as a threat regardless of the fact that having a host was Kurama's own choice. With Naruto's Generation gone many are rising up to try and complete what the Akatsuki could not, to try and reform and reclaim what they lost, without the hands that once guided the Peaceful Shinobi world something is beginning to stir, how long will it be before the drums of War sound again? 
Alliances: 
Konohagakure - Sunagakure - Kumogakure (Alliance is frail) 
Isolated themselves: 
Iwagakure 
Kirigakure 
Konohagakure, Sunagakure and Kumogakure currently have a frail Alliance that keeps them from War, their respective Tailed Beasts still being within their Villages making them almost equal with each other. Soon after the new Kage's of Iwagakure and Kirigakure were chosen the two Villages shut themselves off from the other Great Nations and not a great deal is known about them. There are rumors that Kirigakure is returning to the ways of The Bloody Mist, that Iwagakure are becoming just as brutal and taking their time to search for free Tailed Beasts. Konoha still remains strong with it's Will of Fire and the Will to do good, but can it stay that way with new Uchiha's sniffing around, both Rogue and within the Village itself. The new Kage's of Kumo and Suna dislike each other greatly and only stay allied because of the destruction War would bring upon either of them, even so Shinobi are seen for either Village in each others Village's often scouting, sometimes Killing. 
Kurama, Shukaku and Gyuki all belong to their respective Villages via their own request once the 4th Ninja War was over, the rest of the Beasts are scattered and many enjoy the freedom whilst others miss the companionship of a host. Shinobi still search for them and ways to seal them to use their great power.
