Introduction: The History of the Cups
Long ago, when the world was becoming what it is now, there were powers of magic and greatness. These powers could be found in the wizards, magical items, or in certain circumstances, the place where you are now. The most powerful magic was contain within the Great Cups. There were three Cups crafted by and for the three Great Elves of Suna, people of immortal power and strength. Seven were forged by and for the seven Dwarf Lords, the people with great physical endurance and the ability to craft any weapon five times better than mortal man. And nine Cups were crafted for the men, who desire npthing more than power. With these Cups, the leaders of their lands gained power to rule their countries and their reign was peaceful. But, they were all deceived for another Cup was made, the One Cup that rules them all.
In the land of Oto, Lord Orochimaru (Let us make him an ancestor of today's Orochimaru. A distant relative if you will.) was busy in his tower, the tower of Oto. There, he made a fire, a fire that would never go out until Orochimaru himself was dead. In that fire, he smelted and hammered until he made the One Cup, the Cup to rule everything. With it he drank and drank because whoever drinks from will gain immense great strength, wisdom, invincibility, and they can destroy all life with it.
Lord Orochimaru soon started enslave all the people that surrounded his land of Oto. He soon created an army of his own men. He made soldiers of the Chuunin ninja class (lowest rank), the Jounin ninja class (middle rank), and the ANBU class (the highest rank). They spread terror and suffering everywhere they went and they had almost won.
One day, an army of Suna elves and an army of men from other countries rose up and headed for Oto so they could rid themselves of the evil known as Orochimaru. Orochimaru had gotten word of the attack and ordered for his men to assemble outside his tower so war could teach his enemies where their place was. He then went and took out his black armor, the armor he was to wear at his final battle.
Once outside, Orochimaru took up his sword and saw the advancing forces of elves and men. "So they think their numbers can win? What fools!" said the Dark Lord as he led his own forces to the battlefield. There, he started the First Great War. Swords clashed, arrows flew, and people were growing tired. Soon the men's leader, Uchiha Tai, leader of the future Uchiha clan, charged at the Dark Lord himself. But as soon as Tai reached him, Orochimaru kicked him and knocked him down. Tai looked around for help and soon found his dead father besides him. He quickly grabbed his fallen father's blade and raised it to protect himself from the advancing Dark Lord. The sword had stabbed Orochimaru's left side and the bag he was wearing. The bag ripped open and the One Cup fell out. Tai saw it and the black color it was. Tai reached out for the Cup and as soon as he touched it, a bright light shone and it turned to the color of gold.
"What have you done!" screamed orochimaru as he fell to his knees. "I am the only one who is allowed to touch the One Cup for i poured all my hate, evil, and will to dominate all living beings into it. If a mortal such as yourself should touch it, you go against my will and destroy my power!" Tai sweatdropped at the Dark Lord's antics of the One Cup. Orochimaru then exploded and shattered pieces of his armor flew everywhere. The Dark lord's Cup had moved on and Orochimaru was gone. Many countries celebrated about the defeat of the evil Lord and many had also wanted the Cup as the power that would guide them, but the Cup's evil power took control of Tai and he decided to keep for himself. He used the Cup, even after his best and wisest friend, Hatake Gin, told him to destroy it.
Years later...
The One Cup had been lost in a voyage to new land and all of Orochimaru's army spread out to form cultures of their own, some even joined cuurent countries like Suna. But the most famous of the countries that came into existance through the scattering of the ninja army, was Konoha. This country thrive easily and became to what we see today. Konoha was and still is a great land but they were always considered the bearer of bad news because one day, the leader had a vision of the return of Orochimaru and his evil. But since then, the vision was forgotten and the thought was diminished. From there, life is how it is now.
