Earth-101

**Earth-101**, is a ringed planet located in an alternate reality. The planet is mostly covered in water in addition to several large continents. It is also suffused with "Chakra" (チャクラ, *chakura*), a spiritual energy source that allows its inhabitants to use magical abilities for utility and war. The planet has no Moon and is instead encircled by a ring of asteroids and space debris.

The current timeline of this Earth is set one generation after what would have been the main *Naruto* manga, with a few notable differences. The events of the *Boruto: Naruto Next Generations* series never took place. It is the sibling universe of both Earth-2 and **Earth-101** in the Dark Multiverse.

## History

This world followed much the same history as the original reality until the arrival of Ryun Uchiha a millennia before the present day. Fleeing his own degrading world, Ryun arrived on this Earth just before the arrival of Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and her partner Isshiki Ōtsutsuki. Knowing their plan from the history of his own world, Ryun captured their God Tree seedling and sealed it within himself. He then used his newfound power, alongside the Rinnegan he awakened in his former world, to slay the two aliens, thus preventing the Infinite Tsukuyomi and the tragic shinobi history of his original world. He then located Isshiki's Ten-Tails and split it into the nine tailed beasts, thus preventing it from becoming an issue.

Shortly after Isshiki's death, Ryun traveled through Kaguya's dimensions searching for other threats. He instead found another God Tree and consumed its fruit, transforming into Tenshiki Ōtsutsuki. With his new power, Tenshiki saw an opportunity to change his new world to avoid the disasters of his original world. He returned to his core dimension and bequeathed the Earth with chakra, permitting the beginning of the shinobi era similarly to how it had began in his home reality. However, the dispersal of so much chakra did not go unnoticed. The Ōtsutsuki clan's main family dispatched Hayashiki Ōtsutsuki to Earth to investigate. Hayashiki was more gentle than his fellow clan members and, when he saw the world Tenshiki was trying to build by sharing his power, rejected his own clan's dogma and joined Tenshiki in nurturing the Earth.

Over decades, the two Ōtsutsuki fell in love. Using the power of Tenshiki's Six Paths Puppet Technique together, they were able to create three daughters—Jitō, Izumi, and Asuka Ōtsutsuki—who shared their genetics and were capable of mingling with the human populace. Together, the five Ōtsutsuki mingled with humanity, fostering the first nations to emerge out of the chaos of the Warring States Period. Tenshiki and Hayashiki calmed six warring islands and forged the Land of Storms from them. Tenshiki envisioned the Land of Storms as an example to the rest of the world in how to govern their affairs. He established the Usagi Shogunate to rule over the nation and shrouded it in a thunderstorm to protect it from outsiders. Jitō later settled down with a man from Naka Island. Their progeny would go on to become the Uchiha clan, one of the country's most predominant shinobi clans.

Meanwhile, Izumi and Asuka settled the land that would one day become the Land of Fire. They passed on their fathers' lessons about moulding chakra and taught the humans the first ninjutsu. As humans got a better grasp on the use of their chakra, a diverse range of techniques began to emerge, including genjutsu and taijutsu. Certain animal species, engorged by the outpouring of chakra from Tenshiki decades earlier, and mixing this power with natural energy created the first senjutsu. As the Land of Storms gave birth to the first shinobi, the groups guided by Izumi and Asuka began to divide into shinobi clans of their own. Over time, these would become the Senju, Uzumaki, and Hyūga clans. But the birth of the shinobi came with it a consequence Tenshiki knew all too well: war.

The combination of Hayashiki's defection and the creation of shinobi also had other unintended consequences. The Ōtsutsuki clan, now aware of Earth and its strange developments, dispatched Momoshiki, Kinshiki, and Urashiki Ōtsutsuki to investigate Hayashiki's disappearance. Upon finding a world flourishing with chakra and overseen by two wayward Ōtsutsuki and their children, the Ōtsutsuki trio attacked. The fierce battle ended with Hayashiki dead, leading a grief-stricken Tenshiki to slaughter Kinshiki and Urashiki after reluctantly transforming his dying husband into a chakra fruit to increase his own power. Realizing the battle was temporarily lost, Momoshiki retreated, promising to return when he was strong enough to exact revenge. Following this incident, Tenshiki used Chibaku Tensei to create Takamagahara. Hayashiki's last wish was that the Ōtsutsuki would play no further role in overseeing the Earth, and so Tenshiki honored this request. He and his daughters retreated to their new orbital palace to watch the skies and await Momoshiki's return.

## Countries

Countries are political entities that govern large swaths of land. Most countries in the **Shinobi World** (忍世界, *Shinobi Sekai*) are monarchies led by a daimyō: a military dictator who controls every aspect of the country. Two countries are known exceptions to that rule: the samurai-led Land of Iron and the mysterious Land of Storms, both of which are ruled by a shogun. Much like in the original *Naruto* world, countries seem to act as though they are locked in a feudal system. While the Shinobi World is not at war as often as the original world, conflicts do break out, so countries are known to form alliances and write treaties to maintain their relationships with one another.

### Land of Dense Forests

 Main article: Land of Dense Forests

The **Land of Dense Forests** (密林の国, *Mitsurin no Kuni*) is a mysterious nation on the peninsula north of the Land of Fire. It stopped being a shinobi nation after the formation of the shinobi villages and is thought to be the homeland of the Senju clan. Though the Land of Dense Forests no longer has a shinobi village of its own, several wandering shinobi clans inhabit its forests. The country also has deep ties to the Ōtsutsuki clan and hosts Ōtsutsuki ruins near its northern coast. Because of these two features, the Shinobi Union has labeled the country dangerous and hosts no official diplomatic ties with it.

### Land of Ice Storms

 Main article: Land of Ice Storms

The **Land of Ice Storms** (氷雨の国, *Hisame no Kuni*) is a mountainous country between the Land of Wind and the Land of Earth. It also neighbors the Land of Iron. Known to be a particularly trecherous country to traverse, the Land of Ice Storms is a shinobi nation ruled by a daimyō. Due to its location, the country's politics are often dominated by the warring influences of the Land of Earth and the Land of Wind. This has often led to accusations that the country's daimyō is a puppet of the more militarily powerful Land of Earth. It has also led to the rise of a militarisitic terrorist organization whose goal appears to be obtaining true independance for the Land of Ice Storms. Despite the volatile nature of the country, the Land of Ice Storms has been a frequent site for the Chūnin Exams in recent years.

### Land of Shadows

The **Land of Shadows** (影の国, *Kage no Kuni*) is a mysterious and isolated country that lies on the eastern continent. It is home to a secret society led by Hikaru Kurosaki.

### Land of Storms

 Main article: Land of Storms

The **Land of Storms** (嵐の国, *Arashi no Kuni*) is an archipelago nation. Composed of six islands, each with its own unique culture and traditions, the Land of Storms lies in the sea between the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Water. Its name is derived from the treacherous storm that surrounds the archipelago, keeping outsiders from entering without permission. The islands themselves lie within the massive storm's equally gargantuan eye. According to legend, the Land of Storms was founded by the Sage of the Six Paths as the first shinobi nation in the **world**. It also hosts the world's first ninja village: Arashigakure.

## Differences from the *Naruto* universe

This reality has a number of differences from the main *Naruto* timeline. Namely:

* Because Kaguya Ōtsutsuki never reproduced, her children were never born. While Tenshiki Ōtsutsuki was able to replicate many of their actions—and his progeny were able to become such clans as the Hyūga and Uchiha clans—he wasn't able to do this for everything. The fallout from this include:
	+ The Kaguya clan never comes into existence and, thus, the Shikotsumyaku kekkei genkai does not exist.
	+ Jitō Ōtsutsuki is thought to be the progenitor of the Uchiha clan in Hagoromo and Indra's absence.
	+ Izumi Ōtsutsuki is thought to be the progenitor of the Senju and Uzumaki clans in Asura's absence.
	+ Asuka Ōtsutsuki is thought to be the progenitor of the Hyūga clan in Hamura's absense.
* Because the Uchiha clan is based in the Land of Storms, they never become rivals of the Senju clan. This sets back the foundation of Konohagakure by a generation. It is founded instead by Hiruzen Sarutobi. This dramatically changes the order of the Hokage:
	+ Hiruzen becomes the First Hokage; Jiraiya becomes the Second Hokage; Minato Namikaze becomes the Third Hokage; Dan Kato becomes the Fourth Hokage; and Naruto Namikaze becomes the Fifth Hokage.
* The presence of Kurama in the Land of Storms also changes the fate of Konohagakure. Without the Nine-Tails, Konoha steals the Two-Tails, Matatabi, from Kumogakure in order to keep the balance of the villages. However, Konoha is not as powerful as in its original incarnation. With the Uchiha gone, and Hashirama laking Asura's chakra, the Hyūga are the strongest clan but far from enough to make up the difference. As a result, the strongest hidden village is Arashigakure, followed by Iwagakure.

## Trivia

* Earth-101 was the former hub-reality of User:Stormwitch92's fan fiction creations.
	+ The number designation of this reality references his original username: "Ten Tailed Fox."
* The nature of Earth-101's alternate dimension extends beyond the planet. However, as space travel has not been achieved by the people on the planet, the larger universe can only be speculated upon based on the comments of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. Other planets are known to exist and the universe was thought to be a creation of the Celestials. Ten-Tails seedlings also exist elsewhere in the universe. But, beyond these things, nothing more is known.
* Face claims for Earth-101 characters typically come from the same few sources: the *Jujutsu Kaisen* manga and anime, the *Genshin Impact* video game, and the *Naruto Orichara* project.
