Due to the storm here in Philippines, I won't be having much time to go online because not only it is flooded, the place where I am at loses electric power every now and then. Until then then my Co GMs will take care of you. I am online for a limited time as long as there is power, I will message everyone when needed. Just an advice to all prospects. Please think of the character you want to make, I do not accept WIP and any joke sheets. I am also gonna reinforce 1 character per prospect for the time being.

Just a clarification for everyone since it wasn't really made clear anywhere: There are limited slots available for the RP so please keep that in mind

Welcome everyone! I'm @Indra and after training with my beloved master, Inkarnate. I've become driven to establish a Naruto RP once more despite the failures that all of us met in the past. I am here to present you Kakumei, a Naruto RP that depicts an amalgam of the Boruto generation and the Naruto generation, basically: Traditionalism vs Modernism. Take note, that this RP is a complete AU, meaning concepts are re-imagined but not too deviating. You're all welcome to share ideas.
My goal here is to convey what balance means, and relating it to our society today; most of what we see lost its essence and value, a shell of its former glory. Most martial arts today do not have its essential value, all it does is commercialize and be a cash cow, and looking deeper in that concept applies in this RP: Shinobi may be decreasing yet the majority of them today are nothing more than commercialized bastards who live the luxuries of industrialism. A true Shinobi is selfless and knows what is self sacrifice, instead of the complacent and selfish pricks they are now, just as what Itachi have said: "A true Shinobi does not set out to seek self glory, a true shinobi protects peace within the shadows, even if it means being hated."
The theme that I'd also like to re-establish here is "Talent vs Hard Work", which by the way is ignored in Shippuden. There will be geniuses and weak rising to become strong. You will be playing characters alike, and portray them to the full. But Indra, what about the bigger problems like Uchihas, Bijuu and all that stuff? Trust me on this. I have taken care of all those with my Co-GMs.
Originally, this was an RP meant for four people only, the creators ourselves, but hey we all are busy, except me lol, I am more flexible these days. However, I'd like to give it a test, I may or may not connect it to the supposed version. They currently do not have a part in this RP, but I do credit them for their hardwork in helping me make this. My goal here is to test out this Naruto RP we have established, 6 months in the making.
What are our roles? First and foremost, our characters live in a world where ninja are not only declining because of modernization but also because of the widespread of Ninjutsu. The first arc will have everyone as academy students. Even though your characters have graduated from the Academy, there will be times that they will go back to the academy to further enhance their professions which is what is shown in the Boruto Anime/Manga. I will explain further what is the ninjutsu curriculum.
So, have I piqued your interests? Jump in the water, it's great.

The Sage of Six Paths and the birth of an organized militant civilization; the ninja and the samurai. Almost everyone in this world knows about the tale of the messiah that saved mankind from the corrupted one, but as humanity progress, will they deviate from the commandments of the Sage? It is indeed evident that men strayed from the teachings of the Sage, they have diverted their attention on worldly desires and ridiculed the heavens as history repeats itself. Perhaps the birth of scientific ninja tools is the living proof that causes men to fall apart, and as we look back, the world we knew before and compared to now, marks an end of an era. Many are called but few are chosen, not all who call upon the heavens will be answered by the Sage, but those who have heart for him shall not perish but witness a wonderful sight that men's eyes cannot fathom.
The Sage existed during the Tōitsu Period, a time where men and the nine heavenly guardians were in unity, each of these guardians are revered as gods in the eyes of men, they are: Inugamiomo no Shukaku, Nekogami no Matatabi, Kame-ou no Isobu, Sarugami no Son Goku, Kiri no Kokuo, Un no Chomei, Tako-ushi no Gyuuki, and Kurama no Tamae, the latter being the strongest among all. Legends said that they are overseers of mankind as they provide chakra fruits as men's daily bread in impossible tasks.
Otsutsuki Kaguya, an imperial princess from a faraway land became the first human to permanently wield chakra by defying the nine heavenly guardians through eating the chakra fruit of wisdom and defeated the tyrant Emperor Han and ascended to the heavens. Kaguya then gave birth to her two sons, one would be the messiah and the other the father of the Hyuuga, Hagoromo and Hamura, and upon the birth of her sons marked a new age where the nine guardians would no longer provide the power of the fruits as humans can now utilize it within, the guardians in the same token separated the holy trees from the mortal plane — a place where no mortal could find and where secrets are revealed to those worthy. Hagoromo fulfilled his destiny as the messiah who taught Ninshu and saved men from the evil god, Jashin, while Hamura and his household became guardians of the unknown plane. In spite of attaining the Rinnegan's benefit of immortality, Hagoromo chose to remain mortal and unlike his mother whose physical form and spirit ascended to the heavens, he died a mortal and his spirit became omnipresent.
Through Hagoromo's sons, Otsutsuki Indra and Otsutsuki Asura, Ninshu continued with Asura as the successor. Indra didn't take it well and rebelled against his younger brother(which would escalate through many generations), he then invented a weaponized version of Ninshu that we use today and that is Ninjutsu. Kurama no Tamae, one of the nine guardians who is known for her good fortune and mischief cursed Indra for his rebellion and his eyes were dyed in red, his bloodline through generations will experience the curse of the fox. As a result, the enmity between Indra and Asura brought forth the Shinobi era.
The Konran Period, widely known as the "Warring States Era" and the period that succeeded the Tōitsu Period, was a period sparked during Indra and Asura's feud, their respective ideals paved the way to different types of civilization and beliefs, the teachings of Ninshu was mitigated as Ninjutsu became prominent due to constant warring. In this era, it was not inherently the will of ninja to fight as their nature were morally gray (even today) and out of obedience, while the Samurai was living a much better life, considering their allegiance to the Feudal Lords and the Emperor as law enforcers in their countries, the ninja on the other hand were merely assassins for hire and entertainment to the Emperor. Those who were against the Emperor's wishes are executed by the Samurai, many disobeyed and the result was only death, however, Tamae the nine tailed Yōkai aka "The Goddess of Fortune and Mischief", resurfaced, she knew well of the disaster she caused by cursing Indra and his descendants/sympathizers and sought to manipulate events that would lead to the end of the war.
Throughout the course of the war, Tamae never failed to cease the opportunity to disguise herself as a historical figure, having transformed into countless people of fame or not, her objective was clear - to make the Senju and Uchiha, her performers come to a realization about their petty feud, she did everything she could to unite both clans. Despite of the failures throughout her trial, eventually an Uchiha and Senju came to terms, and together they would form the first ninja village with the Sarutobi and Hyuuga and in the same manner, others would too, as a matter of fact, Tamae did not see it coming. She was pleased with the outcome, yet was also displeased because, it was not her who manipulated the path for them, the final test that Tamae schemed; a battle between the Emperor's forces against the unity of the four clans. Ultimately, Takumi and Seigirama defeated the Emperor and became the victor, the crafty fox is once again pleased as things were in her favor yet no so much, she never expected the ninja' victory against the forces of the Emperor and concluded that their unity was worth it, or so what the legends would say.

Konohagakure was originally established by Senju Seigirama. If its direct predecessors are considered, it is one of the oldest shinobi villages in the known world and it continues to be one of the largest to this day despite the struggles it has endured throughout history.
Konohagakure has an erratic history and a storied reputation, one that has led the founding clans to strengthen their bonds and techniques as they work towards ensuring the safety and survival of the village no matter what the consequences end up being. Seigirama, experiencing the waning days of a corrupt emperor, took matters into his own hands and with his rivals brought an end to the emperor's corruption thus ending the Konran Period and leading to the Fukkatsu Period. New threats and challenges would come in time, but over the course of two centuries the people of Konoha would persevere. In the minds of the ninja of the leaf, it was a better world than the one they had been forced to endure under the Han Dynasty.
The Fukkatsu Period would define an era of independent shinobi working alongside honor-bound daimyo for the greater good of the realm. Or at least it did at first. Eventually threats like the Unseki Chigiri Alliance would remind the clans of Konohagakure that the world they lived in was not a kind one. Eventually several incarnations of a “great ninja war” surfaced and Konohagakure adapted to survive. Smaller villages were not so lucky and ultimately at the end of every conflict the shinobi nations found themselves losing more than they gained. It wouldn’t be until the dawn of industrialization and growing technology until the world realized the ninja way of life was slowly but surely becoming obsolete. Many declared it the end of the Fukkatsu Period. For some this was a good thing, but as this change occurred so did new, more modern threats. The rise of corporations, the yakuza, and peasant revolutions. So began the Heiwa Period.
This new period has spawned iconic shinobi who have led their village with tenacity and vision – for better or for worse.
The newly elected Jūnidaime Hokage, Uchiha Satoru leads Konohagakure following a brutal civil war against his predecessor, Yamanaka Inotora. But can he live up to the legends of the past as growing modernization threatens his village’s very way of life? Can he deal with the plans of the secretive Haibara, the enterprising Kaminarimon Corporation, and the world that is changing around him? It's up to the new generation to find out.

As per Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, the school system is both advanced yet unfair, IC-wise, our characters will undergo the Ninjutsu Curriculum even after the graduation. That is because, smarts are highly valued by the modern day standard, also to to put up with the modern era, pretty much things are commercialized and cash cowed, your character would be lucky if he or she is from a clan because they teach their techniques for free. Those who do not belong to a clan suffer the short end of the stick with the tuition fees that are high and all, but scholarship takes care of that. To put it this way, the generation today is completely different from the old generation, like how water used to be free, now we burn our money to buy water in spite of the rising price value.
As young as five years old children are sent to the Seigirama Academy. They are nurtured like any other kids, and also being trained as Ninja in the making. By the time the children reach the age of ten, they will be transferred to a higher level of ninja education, which is none other than the Ninjutsu Curriculum. The graduation age is 12 years old, at best 13 years old.
The Ninjutsu Curriculum teaches the general code and ethics of a Shinobi (High School level education) as well as enhance the unique talent of each child, whereas the nurturing stage (ages 5-9) is merely elementary academic equivalent. Pursuing the advanced curriculum is costly, most noble clans are the only one who can afford it. A scholarship is granted if the Principal deems the said students worthy, or have serious financial problems.
After graduation, the Shinobi are eligible of pursuing field of specialties. Forbidden techniques are learned in the adult education, which includes seduction and advancing of techniques as well as Forbidden Ninjutsu Curriculum. See how much of a cash cow the Ninja world had become?

In all honesty, I think most problems of every Naruto RP need to modified. These things such as the Uchihas and Tailed Beasts are kept in mind to keep things fun but still manageable. So yeah, I got it covered. What about chakra science, like the scientific ninja tools? They are present, but it won't be a factor here. Think Legend of Korra. The setting is definitely in Konoha but that doesn't mean we'll be stuck there.
Some things to note:
Keep in mind that the focus of this RP will be largely character development, willingness to develop characters realistically, and a collaborative environment willing to share ideas and work together as a team.
Some things to note:
- The Senju-Uchiha petty curse of hatred ended with our version of Madara and Hashirama. Which means, the Uchiha will not have a lot of wank. It's resolved now.
- The 10 tails is retconned. Instead, we have the 9 Tailed Beasts worshiped as deities. They are buffed, and a Jinchuuriki is possible, and these 9 beings have a human form, they are "gods slash youkai" after all. In a nutshell, I am going full Japan here.
- The curse of hatred or should I say, the curse of the fox. Same thing. Indra was cursed to have the sharingan, he's not born with it in this AU, hence we got Uchihas being a cursed clan. In spite of the curse's lifting, the hatred angst part is gone as it ended with our version of Mads and Hashi, but it really depends on how you awaken the sharingan. A blessing or a curse? Take your pick, you can awaken it with positive or negative feelings.
- The Uchiha problem is solved. One Mangekyou Sharingan technique per Uchiha, and sharingan is nerfed. It does not allow you to 100% copy and master a technique, instead, an Uchiha must understand it first,in order to replicate and once replicated, it's weaker than the original. The Uchihas are immune to visual genjutsu but not sound genjutsu or any other forms of genjutsu that is not visual. They can, however, break each other out of it by simple sharingan genjutsu cancelling like what Itachi and Sasuke did against Kabuto. The Mangekyou Sharingan still makes you blind, and require EMS to not go blind. DO NOT ASK ME FOR SUCH THINGS unless I deem so.
- A truth I like to lay out here. Sharingan is basically a diluted version of the Rinnegan. However, Rinnegan is not obtainable in this RP. I as a GM, is eligible and have every right to use it for plot purposes.
- Also, I want some Hyuuga action. We're not getting any reincarnation of the Sage's sons nor the Tenseigan. Trust me, most of us are veteran players, I strongly believe that you all know what are the do's and don'ts.
Keep in mind that the focus of this RP will be largely character development, willingness to develop characters realistically, and a collaborative environment willing to share ideas and work together as a team.
- Graduating Student (10-13 years old). They will be promoted to Genin at the end of the first arc. Calm down and do not worry!
- Monopolization of present clans. I don't want custom clan creations. Please give depth to the pre-existing clans like Hatake etc.
- I want a good backstory. It's okay to take inspiration of your favorite characters, just don't outright copy them.
- Time and Effort. Don't do long ass collabs without my permission. I can let you scott free if it is: Birthdays, Family Issues, School Issues. I am generous enough to temporarily close the RP on holidays and special occasions.
- Characterization. Show me why your character is this and that, and their motivations.
- Write decently. Our English is not perfect, but please show effort.
- I won't further elaborate the do's and don'ts of every Naruto RP. I expect most of you who will be joining, already knows of it. I will reinforce if things are out of hand.
- 3 Prodigies. I will have it as 1 prodigy per team. I don't want exact copies of Sasuke and Neji.
- For the sake of argument. I will open one Uchiha character slot.
Here's the CS:
