♦ Naruto; the Oni War ♦
In an Alternative Timeline sometime during the Warring States period, before the establishment of Hidden Villages, there grew a massive power known as the Oni clan. The Oni Clan began as an estranged clan ignored by the rest residing inside the Ryūchi Cave where they were mutated by strange Natural Chakra which would transform them into bloodthirsty beasts unable to control their rage. Until a figure known only as the Black Snake appeared. Somehow teaching the Oni clan how to control their strange abilities while instilling in them his belief on war which he called the Will of Scales. The Will of Scales explained that only through bloodshed could peace be met, eventually when a point of pain and suffering was reached it would be followed by an equal amount of peace and prosperity. The Black Snake Sage believed if they wanted to break from the cycle of constant suffering through war, they needed to wage the largest war the world had seen. This belief spread separating the Shinobi world splitting clans and families to create the largest militarized force the world had ever seen with one goal, to wage the bloodiest war imaginable.
Three generations later and the Oni war rages on. One side the barbaric Oni clan lead by the Black Snake spreads across the west of the world razing entire villages in their wake. On the other side the rest of the world sits, the Daimyō fund almost every Shinobi clan to feed into the war effort alongside any Samurai or able-bodied man willing to fight. Which is exactly what the Oni clan desires.
So that's the setting/plot I guess. There are no Hidden Villages so Konoha and Suna and other such things don't exist but there still are large settlements where many clans may reside near or in. Shinobi Schools don't exist and you are expected to be trained by your family or anyone you can find in the arts they know while also developing your own. I expect us to start at around age 14-16, about when we'd see our first battle against the Oni clan. We do not have to be from the same clan but I will most likely play a Female character as I am a female and it's just the most comfortable for me. Hmm I am not sure what more needs to be said so any questions or ideas please PM me! I hope to find some cool peoples to RP with :)
