| What You Know Long ago the villages were united. They had banded together to turn back a terrible threat, and a dark power from the ancient times. After what became known as the Fourth Great Ninja War the Allied Shinobi Forces wound tightly together; forging bonds of friendship and trust from the ashes of adversity.
This was the first time in recorded history of such wide spread true peace amongst the Five Great Nations military forces. But like all things, it did not last. Fifty years after the victory of the Fourth Shinobi War the Allied Shinobi forces were pressed into another terrible conflict. The vagaries of this dispute were lost to time. Some historians even theorized the conflict was external, hailing from outside the Nations. Others claimed what was tried and true, and that the Shinobi Nations could never in fact, live in harmony.
Whatever the reasoning, the results were nearly catastrophic. With nearly a generation of camaraderie behind them the Shinobi of the Great Nations made for poor warriors in their disputes. Families refused to be torn apart, friends revolted against slaying their companies. Sides were chosen, and for the sake of their villages the Nations Military Forces banded together. The Land of Fire, Wind, and Lightning drew together to form The Foundation. While the Lands of Water, Earth, and Rice joined forces to birth The Remnants.
So empowered, the new factions went to war with each other; a terrible and bloody war that had lasted almost a hundred and fifty years. In the last fifty years the war has dwindled to a number of skirmishes and engagements. The newly formed Council of Kage of each village began to broker an armistice agreement. Their deliberations lasted nearly a decade and in the end, two new villages were born. Miraigakure, The Village Hidden in the Future held the ideals of The Foundation, reaching for the future of their children, and Kakugakure, The Village Hidden in the Past, which longed to restore their lost glory to light. | |
