Chapter 2
Chapter 1.5: World Information
In this world, there exist two massive continents, interconnected by narrow and hazardous paths. One continent ruled by animals, other by humans.
The animal continent are divided by sentient creatures that inhabited each part of that world. The most powerful among them being Toads, Snakes, and Slugs. These creatures were among the first to evolve into sentient beings and carved their world in their image.
The Toads create a mysterious and exquisite mountainous area full of natural wonders and insects for them to eat. They call their land Myobokuzan Mountains. The Toads are technically ruled by the elderly Ancient Great Toad Sage, but the duty as leader usually fall into the hands of his younger subordinates. These toads are referred to as boss, and they command loyalty over other toads in their land.
The snakes leave the surface in its original natural wilderness, while carving the underground into caves where they can slither and rest until their belly decided their hunting time. Like the toads, it is ruled by an ancient sage, who ruled by virtue of being the strongest, literally eating her way into the competition. Her childrens fight their way through in order to replace her, but the White Snake Sage was still unbeatable. Other snakes, fearful of the sage, swear loyalty to her. The most powerful of these snakes are called boss and their commanding styles different between individuals. Some command through threat of death, other through familar ties, and some through charisma or loyalty.
The slug lived in a forest filled with scattered bones of long dead beasts and several acid lakes, looking barren except for some gigantic vegetation in the area. The slug happily eat upon the nutrition dissolved in the acid lake their leader created along with the leaves of their land's plants. The bones belonged to creatures who think they can take on and conquer the land of slugs, due to their meek and peaceful nature. In the end they fell victim to the acidic spit of the Immortal Slug Sage, their leader. She is the eternally self-rejuvenating slug, who asexually reproduce and letting her “offspring” eat her old remain, inheriting the name, power, and sagely wisdom of “Katsuyu”. Due to her sheer size, no summoner of the slugs can transport her whole body using chakra.
The other continent belonged to the humans. Like the animals, Humans divided their continent into several countries, although in a way that most sentient animals regarded as most barbaric. Why? It was constant strife and war that shaped the land of humans, and to this day both still plague the continent. Each countries are ruled by Daimyo, feudal lords with vast heredity holding over a land. Within these countries lies hidden villages, the greatest military force in that land. Unsurprisingly, the largest countries have the largest hidden villages. The five largest countries and its village leader, kages, are named after five elements.
Land of Lightning is a mountainous area with frequent thunderstorm. Its hidden village there, Kumogakure, have a rather infamous reputation, due to their practice of kidnapping childrens of families with special abilitiy. It’s also one of the two strongest military might in the world. Land of Lightning is also an economic superpower, largely due innovations done by its shinobi to contend with other hidden villages who possess kekkei genkai. In addition, Land of Lightning is a tourist attraction due to its unconventional scenic view and relatively docile large animals.
Land of Earth, filled with rocky areas, its people were as stubborn as the harsh world they are living in. its Village, Iwagakure, is also one of the two strongest military might in the world. However, its economy is somewhat lacking due to lack of resource. In effort to increase their resource, its hidden village tried to invade other great countries, only to be crushingly defeated in the 3rd Ninja War.
Land of Wind, a desert with almost no-life, safe for oasis scattered throughout the land. The people living in these area were descendants of bandits and merchants, united by survival instinct. Its village, Sunagakure, is the lowest military power among the five great hidden village. It’s economy is also lacking, as it possess no resource to build machines and no fertile land to work on, save for a plot of land given by another hidden village in early stage of hidden villages. The same plot of land is also contested recently, causing tension between the nations.
Land of Water is not part of the continent, but rather a collection of islands to the east of the continent. Its hidden village is Kirigakure, and now is the most cruel hidden village due to its leader, The mizukage, having a genocidal policy towards kekkei genkai users that cause it to be called “Village of Bloody Mist”. Other smaller countries are reluctant to form economic relations with Land of Water due to its volatile hidden village.
The final country, Land of Fire. A country famous for its warm and bright weather as well as abundance of fertile soil. The hidden villages there, Konohagakure, is also the most populous. While Konoha was founded by and consistently produced the most powerful shinobi in their generation, and also home to bloodline limit and hiden ninjutsu clans, its military power is not the best, partly due to its old kage’s policy towards peace. It is also in the middle in term of technological advancement, mainly due to their fertile land making no farmer bother to advance their technology and the shinobi focusing on hiden/kekkei genkai abilities, rather than technological innovation. The Land of Fire’s people suffer from a resource curse case. This hidden village is also the one to lend Sunagakure their farming plot, which now evolve to become political nightmare.
