This roleplay will focus particularly on the lives of people living under both a peaceful, stable dictatorship and those that live a rebellious life, resisting this dictatorship. We will be playing chunins exclusively meaning that, if you want to play a rogue shinobi that goes around killing people, you won't be able to do that in this roleplay.

This roleplay will feature mature content in the sense of gore and violence. This is Naruto. However, it is Naruto of the first and second war periods - war isn't nice.

Furthermore there will be a small amount of slice of life involved. We want to offer your character the chance to grow in the sense that not everything they do has to involve combat. Falling in love is real, and it happens to shinobi too.

These are warnings ahead of time. If you don't want to participate in the RP due to these focuses, then thank you for your time, and best of luck in other roleplays.

The setting of Naruto: Unity or Freedom takes place approximately 200 years after the the deaths of Boruto and Sarada. The specific time period is not of any relevance in this scenario, however it should be noted that this universe takes place in another universe, and therefore it is up to the GM's discretion to alter or change any canon events as they see fit in order to benefit the story and/or setting. You should not expect any changes in canon however. This is just so I can have creative freedoms if I need to. For the purpose of creating a character sheet, all canon shall remain canon.

Due to the year being 200 years after the deaths of Boruto and Sarada, many technological advances have been made. There are now small amounts of trucks, motorcycles and cars. However, these are reserved for the wealthy, and a shinobi should not expect to own any of these amenities. Furthermore, there are no 'M4's' or such, since shinobi with automatic rifles would be hilarious, but ultimately not Naruto. It should be of little impact on the actual task of shinobi or their lifestyles. The only difference is that the skyscrapers we saw in Amegakure previously are now prevalent in other villages as well. That's about it.

Politically the world has changed as well. This is the primary change and perhaps the most important one. Given Naruto unified the shinobi world (or rather, the kage's did, because lets face it, Naruto didn't do much other than spread the word of peace and love) that change will continue and will have expanded.

Between the rule of Naruto Uzumaki as hokage, and the rule of Sarada as hokage, the different shinobi villages (and their respective countries) unified more and more, with new governmental organizations being created to facilitate the unification. The countries became less and less independent, until a figure appeared that took control of Amegakure. Amegakure was at this time the center of the countries, and therefore was the capital of all international organizations.

By persuasive and diplomatic means this figure then took control over all the independent countries following the bloody coup d'etat that took place in Konohagakure in which a powerful figure was assassinated, as well as an attempt on the life of the dictator that ruled there as hokage. Complicity of this figure that now controlled large amounts of the world politically was suspected but never proven. As Konohagakure was the last beacon of independence, other villages were soon conquered politically and diplomatically without a single drop of blood being shed. ... of course, opponents were rid of silently behind the scenes.

The new country would unify all of the world, and it became known as the Hamajō Confederation. Former countries were now labeled as provinces and this new government took seat in Amegakure, annexing small parts of surrounding countries to grow Amegakure's powerbase. Following the annexation of all villages and countries, peace followed, or did it?
