Ninja scroll number 10:
Konokigakure no Sato (The village hidden in the tree)
The hidden tree village is the only true hidden village in existence. Known only to a select few members of Konoha's elite it is completely protected from outside influence, and since it is hidden inside of a spirit tree it is indiscernible to any and all external forces.
A spirit tree is a tree that has been around for several centuries; being kept alive by being fed the chakra of Tree Growers until it is capable of sustaining its own chakra signature. Though most discontinue chakra growing after this point, the hidden tree village has kept Tree Growers on as their ANBU forces, who also continue to feed the tree their chakra from time to time.
Aside from the Tree Growers another ninja group resides in Konokigakure: the Beast Masters. The Beast Masters are a rather strange group among ninjas since every clan shares the exact same bloodline limit. They are all capable of summoning their individual clan's spirit animal from birth.
The Beast Masters real strength, however, lies in an ability that only surfaces once every one hundred years. This ability is known as fusion. In every fourth generation on the deadline of exactly 100 years every head clan woman becomes pregnant with a child that is born fused with the inner animal of their clan. This fusion includes the physical as well as spiritual manifestations of that animal.
The Uzumaki clan is thought to have once been a part of Konokigakure since the blood-limits of these two groups is remarkably similar. The only differences being each individual Uzumaki has their own inner animal and they have never been known to fuse.
Kaliea: Ok. I'm sure at least one of you is curious about the name of this village since it is so very similar to Konoha. The reason for this is simple…sort of. By breaking down the Konoha we come up with 'kono', meaning this and 'ha', meaning leaf; making the literal translation of Konohagakure, the village hidden in this leaf (though this really wouldn't make much since so we changed 'this' to 'the') So I figured that the village hidden in the tree would be 'kono', this and 'ki', tree; making the literal translation of Konokigakure the village hidden in this tree. I think… So that's it. Please Review!
Review Answers:
Animefreak-shinobi: Thank you very much. It really did take me a long time to come up with Hikari, because I wanted a character that was like him in some ways and yet in others the exact opposite making her the perfect yang to Itachi's yin. In the end I just based her on myself though…
Jays Arravan: Thanks, and yeah, Sakura is a natural medicine. She can heal anything sometimes even without touching it (major hint)
Shinobi Darkbeak: Is this soon enough? ;)
NaruHinalover: I think more will be reviled in the next chapter. But don't quote me on that unless it's true, 'kay? ; 3
Bittersweetdreams: Hehe sorry about that. The girl was supposed to have long blue hair…though that still might have thrown some people off. Other then, that I can't answer you yet. Sorry!
AiTenshiKosmos: O.o Seriously! Wow, that is such high praise! Arigato!
Danny-171984: I'm glad that your such a loyal reader -! And about Gaara…can't tell. Gomen.
Psychedelic aya: Her element is spirit. But she doesn't have everything that is thought to go with it. After all she's not a god or anything.
Dragon Man 180: Hm, well I can't say much about Kairi at present but I can tell you that this Kairi is the same Kairi from chapter one.
Wyldcat: Yes he is, isn't he? -
