Long ago, on a distant island of Roa in the southern sea, there existed an ancient race of islanders known as the Aoteans. They tried to live in peace, but have been target for attacks by neighboring tribes for years. They were once the strongest warriors on their island ,commanding a large territory, but years and years of constant warfare weakend them and over time diminished their territory to a small portion of their island.
Escaping the constant turmoil from the wars on the mainland, those caught in between fled to the island, bringing with them their culture and their ways including the way of the Shinobi. Seeing these warriors training, the natives offered them shelter in exchange for protection from the neighboring tribes. The years went by and the two cultures lived symbiotically, sharing their histories, their cultures, and over time the two cultures, eventually became one. The peace was long, but the time on the front lines was still too long.
Among the people were a family of Shinobi seeking to end the conflict and unify the island, the Shidajima. They never forgot the Aotean's warrior past, studying the ways of their once legendary warriors throughout the generations and interpreting their methods and incorporating them in to the ways of the Shinobi, becoming the first true Shinobi clan of Roa.
Alone they are formidable warriors, but together they are nearly unstoppable. Their philosophy states that their strength lies in the bonds of friends and family and they fight with all they have to protect those bonds. As a result of this philosophy, members of this clan specialize in collaborative jutsu. The diverse chakra nature in the family assures that there is no shortage of powerful techniques. Using the skills they developed, their skills in battle helped them gain positions of leadership in their village. Under the guidance of their strongest member and declared leader, Samemaru, they achieved their goal of obtaining peace and unifying the island. Samemaru was named high chief and led the people of Roa for 46 years. Those that they defeated dared not raise a finger to the leadership of the Shidajima, either out of respect or fear. So they laid dormant, waiting for the right moment. Which came one day when Samemaru passed away. Under the leadership of his son, Yogan, the Shidajima struggled, but tentatively maintained the peace, but it hung on a more fragile thread than ever.
