Hmm, yes, that's only fair. I'll start with the Empire.
The World of NarutoAt the start of this RP, the Empire has taken control over all of the land in the world, except Sunagakure in the Land of Wind. Each of the other villages has been placed under martial law, with resident ninja forced to take on missions and duties assigned to them. The army of the Empire is composed of ninja from around the world, from missing-nin to mercenaries. All of the tailed beasts are under their control, besides two. The one-tail's Jinchuriki is safe within Suna, and the nine-tail's Jinchuriki is locked away in Konoha. These two aren't up for grabs, but the others are as agents of the Empire.
On the flip side are the rebels, who have been gaining support discreetly in the villages, and plan to start a revolt soon. (The start of the RP.)
