Rise of the Eclipse: New Moon
Prologue…
Many years ago, the Land of Fire was home to two powerful, yet warring, villages; The Village Hidden in the Leaves, Konohagakure, and The Village Hidden in the Shadows, Kagegakure. These sister villages were known all throughout the land for their immense power, and their battle for the title of "true" Hokage of the Fire nation. However, they shared the same fate, the attack of Kurokami.
The Black Demon Wolf, Kurokami, was a terrible beast that laid waste to all that stood in his path; he took countless lives and felled many a great nation. His displays of power left a visible scar on the land of ninja as he constantly worked towards new spoils. Finally, he came upon the rival villages, mid battle, and attacked. Konoha and Kagega joined forces and, with luck, managed to seal Kurokami inside the "Zesou no Shiro" a sacred halberd blessed and forged by the priest council. Protecting their respective lands, Hidden Leaf and Hidden Shadow Village hid the Zesou deep in the forests of Shadow Village, never to be seen again…or so they thought…
Years passed, Kagega welcomed in a new Hokage and a peaceful alliance reigned between the two villiages. Outside Konoha, various guards could be seen preparing for the end of the day. As the sentries finished up their rounds near Konohagakure, strange rumblings were heard, and the ground shook. Moments later, the sentries cried in panic, Kurokami the demon was free!! As the reeling village desperately fought back, Kurokami exacted his revenge. Hours later, the demon wolf was gone, and Konoha…in ruins...
To protect their ally, Hidden Leaf Village's 1st Hokage set out, yet was shocked to find Kagega completely unharmed, in fact, they acted as if Kurokami was still sealed within the Zesou! Believing that he had been betrayed, Konoha's 1st Hokage prepared an offensive to rid the world of both Kurokami, and the treacherous Village Hidden in the Shadows in one feil swoop. Despite the pleas of Kagega's 2nd Hokage, they attacked and once again waged war against each other; until Kurokami returned. Instantly, the massive demon unleashed his full fury and started to lay Kagega to rest. Seeing that Kagegakure had no involvement in the demon's release, the two villages valiantly attempted to seal the beast once again with new-found resolve. The fight was grueling, many brave shinobi and kunoichi lost their lives, and putting the past behind them, the two Hokage fought back. The demon, however, would not go down. The hatred he harbored for the human race was enough to keep him alive. Regardless of the massive amounts of damage caused to the demon, he healed, and he grew stronger. Knowing that soon, Kurokami would surpass their combined powers, the 2nd Hokage of Kagega selflessly sealed the monster deep within himself using a forbidden technique. Hanging onto his remaining sliver of humanity, the second begged his ally to end it once and for all.
"Do it now!! All that we have worked for will be preserved if we stop Kurokami!!"
The first hesitated, then, reaching for a lone fang of the demon, brought it swiftly down on this friend. The 2nd Hokage of Kagegakure died saving both of his people…and they never forgot...
We move to the present day, three banished genin from Kagega sent out to Konoha for their chunin exams and a shot a redemption. Unbeknownst to them, the annals of time were being re-written to accommodate their addition to the story. Their register with the 3rd Hokage of Kohona is where our epic tale begins...
