Prologue
Long ago, during the reign of the First Hokage, there was one more village. The Village Hidden in the Wild, or Arasugakure (Arasu), was once a flourishing village, well known for its weapons and strong Shinobi. It used to be a center of commerce and trade in the Land of Fire, next to the Village Hidden in the Leaves (Konohagakure). Then, all trade suddenly stopped. Vicious animal attacks were reported all over the Arasumori, or, Wild Forest. Eventually, the attacks grew so frequent that people stopped traveling out to Arasu altogether. Even in the village itself, people were not safe. The animals evolved into demonic creatures, in both intelligence and in form. Then, communication to and from the village stopped. Even Shinobi stopped arriving for the exams. Arasugakure just seemed to disappear… Until now. Three brave Ninja; Kyota, Akira, Eorroe, and their sensei; Kazuhiro, have arrived for the Chunin Exams.
