Prologue – The Final Year of the Great Shinobi War

It was in the year of 689, or 75 years before the start of the Naruto series that this story takes place. About 20 years earlier, the many shinobi clans of the world had begun to fight each other, leading to the end of most of them, and to much suffering for the peasants. This is the conflict that later became known as The First Great Shinobi War or The Ninja World War. In the end there were five big alliances left, all of them fighting to gain control over the continent for their lords.

In the so-called Land of Lightning, there were four big shinobi clans, Kumo, Inabikari, Kageha and Maikage. These clans were hired by the weak government that claimed control over the region that today is called the Kaminari no Kuni. The mission they had been given was to secure the borders of the country, and to defeat any enemy that could be a threat to it. The government was especially afraid of the growing Konoha-clan to the south, whose leader were Konoha Takeo.
