Fourth Imperial Division

> *"To be and to last." - The motto of the Fourth Imperial Division.*
>
>

The Fourth Imperial Division is considered the underdog among the Imperial Divisions. This stance from the other Divisions is because of the lack of military history in the Rain as River province and her people. While ready to defend their homes against foreign or internal problems, the Fourth Imperial Division is prepared to work twice as hard to accumulate renown and prestige.

Stationed in the River and Rain province, the Fourth Imperial Division receive most of her recruits from volunteers and conscripts of those regions. The lack of militant clans has left the Fourth Imperial Division without many specialised troops - relying almost entirely on Imperial Akinian army traditions.

**The Fourth Imperial Division is currently led by:** Fourth Major General, Etsu Yabut of Amegakure.

## Deeds

These are deeds, feats and achievements of the Fourth Imperial Division.

* **The Riots of Amegakure. In the year 476 and 477 ADS.**
	+ *"Various riots and periods of unrest have stalked and troubled Amegakure due to doings by the Zealots as insurgents of Soru. While the city's security detail attempted to quell and fight these sources of unrest, the city got eventually engulfed into a large riot. Riled by the mistakes and incidents of various shinobi operations in the town, the residents' fear and resentment towards shinobi were fueled by insurgents and zealots. To bring back and safeguard the Imperial peace, units of the Fourth Imperial Division were garrisoned inside the city. The task to reduce unrest and bring stability as order back in Amegakure wasn't easy. But working with the locals, the Fourth Imperial Division managed to achieve their task."*
* T**he hunt on Zealots and allied insurgents, within the Rain province. In the year 476 and 477 ADS.**
	+ *"With it becoming clear that the troubles within the Rain province were thanks to an alliance between the Zealots and Insurgents of Soru, the Fourth Imperial Division was tasked to eradicate the presence of both scourges. Units would be organised in small task forces to safeguard the Imperial peace to locate, hunt, and take down the hostile elements. Despite several setbacks, the Fourth Imperial Division continued and managed to break the alliance between the Zealots and Soru's insurgents, making their hunt much easier to finish."*
