[/center][/size]Chapter 1:Aftermath
The time of Naruto Uzumaki is long since passed, having served as one of Konoha's most benevolent Hokages he passed away now more than a century ago. These days things are... different. The Five Nations, while still formidable are nothing like the power they once were, so much so that the shinobi villages long deemed 'lesser' powers seek to rise up and challenge the establishment which was established during the time of the First Hokage. Additionally there have been numerous reports of 'rising' villages, usurpers to the positions of those long established powers and their smaller counterparts. Some are less than a decade old but all want to carve out their fair share of the continent and if war is necessary to do thus well... the old powers were never much good at sharing.
While stopping at the brink of all out warfare the current political situation teeters upon the top of a precipice, the fall from which would be a long and unpleasant one, another Shinobi War. Peace stands upon the knife's edge and there are forces, interests and people which would throw it from that precarious perch. But down in the darkness which awaits there is yet a glimmer of light and a fragment of hope.
A mysterious and shadowy group known only as Tenmou has recently emerged seeking to unite the fractured Nations under one banner, further threatening an age old system of governance, the Daimyo, already threatened by emerging political ideas the Lords understandably have leveled all their power against Tenmou in order to preserve themselves. But the organization is more than happy to engage and defeat such armies.
This is a moment of choice for the whole world, a crossroads to which there is no return journey, an irreversible game of chance. This is The Aftermath.
