The Nine Tailed Sage

Prologue:

When the Land of Fire was attacked by a Nine Tailed fox spirit, one sage engaged the fox in an epic confrontation that had scarred the land and shook the heavens above. The fox spirit may have held an unimaginable amount of power. But the sage was able to wield a special sealing jutsu in which he used to seal the beast inside himself, and had tamed the Nine Tails.

As time passed on the sage had used the Nine Tails power to defend the Land of Fire and the entire Five Great Nations and had restored peace and prosperity to the land. The sage was recognized as the Land of Fire's greatest hero and would be known in history as The Nine Tailed Sage.

But peace cannot always last, for an evil organization known as the Akatsuki has waged war against the Five Great Nations in search of the nine Jinchuuriki, nine specially chosen people who were selected by the Nine Tailed Sage. To carry nine separate tailed beasts similar to the Nine tailed Fox in hopes that they could take over as Guardians of the Five Great Nations once he had passed on.

As the war waged on the people of The Five Great Nations began to lose hope as more and more great Shinobis were lost. But still even with the blood shed, even with the tragitys that followed the war. The people still believed in their greatest champion and that someday someone would take his place and fight for their freedom and bring peace back to the nations.
