Hello, everyone. Just thought I'd let you all know that I've received a review saying that they do not understand the Old Ninja World. This chapter is an attempt to explain that. I will use some information that I may not have included in the story. I apologize for not clearing this up sooner.
Okay, so the Old Ninja World is directly to the south of the main ninja world (Lands of Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning, and so on). The geography is mostly desert with a few mountainous areas. It is around the same size or a little larger than the main ninja world. It is composed of places that I will mention throughout the story, such as the Land of Swords, Land of Shields, so on and so forth. The Villages in this land are simply named after the lands they are in.
The people of these villages (Sword, Shield, Lance, and so on) are considered to be a type of barbarian by modern ninja. Their jutsu rely entirely on weapons or summons. The name of the village will also reflect the type of weapon they specialize in. Jutsu that involve element manipulation are rare and usually only used in conjunction with the weapon. For instance, a fire style jutsu used by a Sword Ninja would only set the sword on fire. There are very few jutsu of different types.
Now, the history involved in the Old Ninja World is that it was the birthplace of the Ninja. Men who would grow up to found the Modern Villages were born here, and they showed an affinity with element manipulation, causing them to be an outcast among the shinobi of their homelands. Men and women who had the abilities of element manipulation left, and such were the clans that founded the Five Great Ninja Villages. Once again, sorry for not clearing that up earlier. If you have any questions, feel free to review or PM me and I will be happy to help. Thanks for your continued interest in my story!
Sincerely,
