Chapter 1
Past to Present
History of the Sky Country and the Iga Clan:
The Iga Ninjas had been founded during the war, a clan of advanced bloodline ninjas who were sufficient in Wind and Earth Jutsu. The Iga Clan was amongst the many ninja clans used as armed militia and they had almost no reputation, and were considered as regular shinobi. In fact, the Iga clan had been regular allies with the Uchiha and the Senju Clan. The Iga Clan was part of the Country of Sky, nicknamed Land of Heaven. Though Ironic to the name, the Land of Sky was under the land under Country of Lightening, and next to the Hidden Village of Sound. Country of Sky was small, in almost every aspect towards the other 5 countries, Fire, Mist, Water, Wind, Earth and Lightening. Small in comparison to Wealth, Land Size, Population, and army capacity. After the Great War, the Country of Sky had been weakened, and soon the Sound Ninja had threatened the Small, and weakened Land of Heaven. The Sorakage had been assassinated and the Iga Clan was blamed, as the Iga Clan was the basis of the Sky Country's ANBU forces, similar to the Uchiha was the founder of the Konoha Police force. Orochimaru had taken the Ninja of the Sky Country. After several failed coup d'etat from the captured Iga clansmen, to assassinate Orochimaru and over throw the Sound Village. The only reason to each failure of the assassinations was inner conflict, not within the Iga Clan, but the ninja around the Iga Clan, who had already lost faith, and valued life over freedom. Soon, the Sky Country collapsed, no ninja protected them, no Sorakage existed, no one except the villagers. The Country of Sky turned into a feudal-like village run by samurai, and the once flourishing country was ignored over the world. Still prosperous, still wealthy, and still fighting, the large Country Village, survived with no means of ninja. The Samurai governor Yokai Denzou, had begun to run the large village with hardship, and committed seppuku after riots for independence, he felt a failure as to persuade the villages to live under the samurai protection.
After years of inner conflict, the large village disbanded, and the whole entire land, was empty. One day, Orochimaru was killed, killed by his own follower, so they said. The Iga Ninja, the Sky Ninja, and a band of other ninja, left and escaped to what was once called Country of Sky, only to find bones amongst the grass, empty buildings, and rotting crops. The Iga Clan settled itself with the other Sky ninja, and vowed to protect the country with their lives. A rebuilding of the Sky Country commenced, and villagers returned, and prosperity rose again, the Sky Country began to rise to its former glory, but a mystery still remained. "Why were there bones in the country?" a curious ninja would ask himself, only to find that bones were all over the country, and under the country. The Sky Country still isn't recognised as a Real Country by the 5 Kage, but they still remain, to declare themselves a country. Yet the Hokage, and the Mizukage would agree that the Land of Heaven was now a graveyard, hence the 'Land of Heaven' now had another ironic twist to their name, for being 're-founded' on a massive graveyard.
Present Sky Country and the Iga Clan:
The Sky Country has flourished, and currently do not have any enemies. They protect themselves and their country from near by Samurai Clans, who wish and desire to take over the Hidden Sky Village. Underestimated, yet repeatedly attacked, the 4th Sorakage, Raito Iga, would trained himself hard and long, with little rest and was basically under almost constant meditation. He searched for a new power, and tried to find a reason why an advanced bloodline clan such as the Iga clan, did not have a special power that his fellow family could use. It was until he found a way to unlock it, he came down, with green fox eyes, which was to be named 'Yuureigan'. The Sorakage enlightened the rest of his fellow family members, his clan, and soon, the Yuureigan would be available to the clan's use. Though the surrounding countries and villages have almost no knowledge of the Yuureigan. Raito would continue to train to improve, he dueled other shinobi and won, and yet kept his yuureigan a secret. The training designed more jutsu for the villages' shinobi. Raito with his training almost killing him, found a new power, much like the Mangekyou Sharingan, this time, the green fox eyes were yellow fox eyes, and soon, the advanced bloodline technique became 'Kitsunegan'. The powers varied between the Iga clan members, but never the less, it was just as hard as obtaining the Kitsunegan as it was obtaining the Yuureigan. The Sorakage soon after the discovery of the Kitsunegan, that the Iga clan would be the backbone army that was to defend the Sky Country, and protect the people of the country at all costs.
Their motto of philosophy is now "Protect Heaven as to care for the Land."
Heaven was the Sky Country, the land was the people.
