Foreword

"The life of a Shinobi beginsIn a silent winter dreamLoud his voice shall cryBefore the choice is made

With the birth of a ShinobiA choice is to be made

And my eye is silently watchingThe rise of a Shinboi

The might of a Shinobi liesIn deception at nightThe choice to be madeDetermines his life

The death of a Shinobi comesIn battle, shedding his blood

Fighting with valor in his heartFinally, his choice was made"

- The Three Ninja Songs

For almost two years have I been a part of this community now, a short time, if compared tocertain proud members, but yet a long time. In these years I have created alot of things for thissetting, most notably my Three Ninja Songs adventure series, which still awaits to be completed.Those series alone has forced me to create alot of original content, but I have also created alot of

hijutsus and bloodlines unrelated to my adventure series. This is a compilation of my work,including alot of new things aswell as remade old things. I would also like to thank all those whohave aided me in this, very timeconsuming, task! You are far too many too mention, but I hope

you all know that I am grateful to every single one of you!I would also like to thank all the fans of the adventure series and my other creations for your

persistance and praise! I doubt this would have been the same without you!

OBLIVION

Everything included in this �le has been created by me, Oblivion, using the Naruto D20supplement for the D20 Modern gaming system, provided by Frankto Vinetti. Lord In�tus aided

me alot with the coding, as this was done in LaTex. Thank you, and hail!

The Arkiis

Born and bred on the harsh tundra, these hu-mans are more beast than men, having maderuthlessness to a part of their nature. The Arkiisare legendary warriors-for-hire, both cheaperthan the Shinobi, and far more merciless and re-liable in battle. Following ancient and shaman-istic believes, the society of the Arkiis' basedon strength, and how many men you can kill.Headhunters by nature and faith, the Arkiisfollow a strict hierarchy. Lead by the chieftain,the clans priest of the Destroyer, the strongestmale, and the earthly representation of the De-vourer, the clan bow to no one. In the middleare the warriors, male and female alike, and atthe bottom is everyone else. If you can't wielda sword, you are not �t to be a clanmember.Used to the arctic tundra, the Arkiis dress withnothing but a cloak on the upper part of theirbodies, men and women alike, even in the Snowcountry's winter. It is generally seen as a signof strength to not wear armor, and few Arkiisdo, instead investing in heavy weapons.Allthough it is not customary, some Arkiis havebeen known to join the Shinobi society, espe-cially in the Snow country, which borders to theArkii homeland.

Chigakure no Sato Village

Village: Small(Major)

Population: Approximately 800 (650 in thevillage, 150 in the farms)

Condition: Good

Shinobi Population: Estimated to 390 Shi-nobi

Leader: Shodaime Chikage

Village age: 60 years

Chigakure is a village that greatly di�ers frommost Shinobi villages, as its shinobi populationis much higher than most other villages, rang-ing up to 60 percent of the citizens. The villageitself is built as most villages, but has a uniquewater system where each of the noble familiesget their water from one well each, while therest of the citizens gains their water from thenearby lake. The Chikage has his residence onthe edge of town, at the base of the mountain.The truth, though, is that the Chikage does notlive in the residence, and neither does the suc-cessing families of the noble clans live in theclanresidences. Rather, the leading families andChikage, along with a few trusted shinobi, livein the Temple of Enlightenment, hidden in themountain. The Temple itself is, rather than asingle temple, 7 small temples/shrines built intogether with 6 forming a circle around the 7th .The di�erent parts has a well each, which serveas drinking water for the noble clans, and arecalled the Shrine of Heaven, Shrine of Earth,Shrine of Light, Shrine of Darkness, Shrine ofMind, Shrine of Body and Shrine of Crown,with the crown being the Chikages well and trueresidence. The path to the temple is blockedby thick woods of pinetrees.The six noble clans

were founded by the closest friends to the Chik-age, Takanuma Ryota, Dosato Tadao, KurukanTakeo, Shirakan Teruo, Fuku Yoichi and Naga-matsu Kioshi. Allthough the leader of the vil-lage has assumed the title of Kage, the �ve greatshinobi nations have not approved of this action,and outright hostilities between Chigakure andand the other villages are not unusual.What is most notable di�erence between theChigakure no Sato and other Shinobi villagesis that most of the the population is, in someway, related to former Missing-nins that joinedthe village, and that it was founded by a groupof Missing-nins. This has granted the villagea power that is hard to match by the rivallingShinobi nations, but also an unusual distrustamong their own ranks. This has also giventhe village access to Hijutsus and informationabout the other villages which may be some ofthe reasons for the mutual hostilities.

Clans and Important Figures

The Chigakure village has a couple of very inter-esting �gures residing within its walls, most no-table are probabably the Chikage himself, saidto be graced with Immortal youth, and the lead-ers of the noble families. The clan leaders andthe Chikage are included in the Bingo Book sec-tion.

The Dosato Family

The Dosato clan resides in the Shrine of Heavenin the Temple of Enlightenment, being reveredeven by the Chikage himself. Regarded asprotectors of great power due to their blood-line, the Chikage's bodyguards are all from theDosato clan. The ruling family of the clan dec-sends from the powerful Shinobi Dosato Tadao,orginally hailing from the Stone Village, who

fought along side the Chikage for several yearsprior to the founding of the village. As it be-came obvious that the wells of the village heldgreat power, Tadao invited many of the missing-nins and wanderers into his clan, realizing theadvantage that might give his family. Thanksto his actions, only the Takanuma clan havegreater numbers than the Dosato.Upon installing themselves in the Shrine, Tadaowas the only one among the clanleaders to dis-cover any of the intact scrolls that the monksthat built the temple had left behind. As a re-sult, the Dosato take great pride in researchingthe Temple, and regard themselves as protec-tors, not only of men, but also of knowledge.The clans current leader, however, believe thatthe clan has missed alot of opportunities due totheir constant search, and has driven his clan-members to strive harder to invent new hijutsus,and currently leads a group called the Iron Five.He has also added a new entry requirement forthe aspiring Genin of the village, which is calledthe Iron Rule, which forces the would-be Shi-nobi to defeat a member of the clan who hasallready achieved the rank.Members of the Dosato clan are often teamedup with members of the Shirakan bloodline, inorder to protect these highly valuable Villagemembers.

The Fuku Family

Centered around the Well of Mind, the Fukuclan are deeply respected, and sometimes feared,by their peers. It is said, in the village, that onlya fool trusts a Fuku who looks you in the eyes,for their eyes hold powers of the human minditself. Hailing from the famous Genjutsu masterof the Cloud Village, Fuku Yoichi, the clan haveworked hard to improve their eye condition,rendering them an extraordinary talent withdoujutsu techniques. Almost all members ofthe Fuku family are somehow related to Yoichi,as he was a man with many women, and manydaughters, and it is standard practice amongthe male Fuku to have two wives. His love forwomen was in fact one of the reasons Yoichi wasforced to leave Cloud in the �rst place.The current ruler hails from Yoichis only son,and lives up to his grand father, allthough ageis catching up with him. He has, however, man-aged to keep some of his youths strength, andeven the most powerful clanmembers are fright-ened to meet his eyes. It is, in fact, underneathhim that the Fuku has risen in the eyes of manyfrom being a second grade-clan, to be the mosttrusted spies of the Chigakure.

The Kurukan Family

Few warriors are more feared on the battle�eldthan the Kurukan warriors. Being born withblack tribal marks, the most exalted of the clanappears to be blessed by the gods of war anddeath, and few warriors can rival these war-riors in power. Allthough everyone follow thelaw of the Chikage, the word of this clan, oneof the three Royal clans, is almost the samething as law, few daring to cross paths withthem. Founded by the �ercest of the warriorsthat fought with the Chikage, Kurukan Takeo,the clan are known to be arrogant and short-tempered, rarely taking the advice from anyoneelse than the Chikage and the Nagamatsu clan.The Kurukan clan are the protectors of the Hier-archy and legendary leaders in Shinobi battles,but are seldomly subtle, and illsuited for in�l-tration.The current leader, Kurukan Hitoshi, is one ofthe few who breaks the Kurukan norm, beingvery reserved and calm, even when insulted.Some among the clan claim that his lack of ag-gressiveness have allowed lesser clans, such asDosato and Fuku, to claim territory that shouldbelong to the Kurukan. This critique is, how-ever, met with silence, and those critizising theKurukan leader are generally silenced throughvarious threats. Hitoshi values the stability ofthe village higher than the Kurukans glory andpower, which has rendered him rarely seen trustfrom the Chikage.

The Nagamatsu Family

Among the Three Royal Families of the Chi-gakure clans, the Nagamatsu are probably themost revered, seen upon as both skilled combat-ants and a source of life, able to create life fromnothing. The special red pinetrees, called blood-trees, can be seen throughout the entire village,seemingly protecting it from view and enemies,and are cherished by the villagers. The Naga-matsu are calm and humble and though theyregard themselves as slightly above the rest,they treat everyone with the same respect, asthey regard themselves as protectors of both lifeand the village. The Dosato clan does, however,have a special place among the Nagamatsu, astheir power of protection is even greater thantheirs.The clan was �rst founded by the Konoha rene-gade Nagamatsu Kioshi, who had long strived toacquire the powers of Mokuton and failed, andas a result of his experiments, was driven fromthe village. As he met the Chikage, he began tofeel hope for a new world, and joined him in histravels, excelling in Ninjutsu knowledge. Whenhe had drunk from the Well of Earth for years,

12 CONTENTS

he started to conduct experiments once again.He quickly discovered, however, that they wereuncalled for, as the gods had �nally graced himwith success.The current leader is not as humble as Kioshi,and regards himself and his clan to be equalsto the Chikage himself, rather than a servant.Though respectful, he always gives his opinionto the kage, which have granted him the exaltedtitle of advicor and High Judge.

The Shirakan Family

The third royal family was founded by the twinof Kurukan Takeo, Shirakan Teruo, and is theonly clan that matches the Kurukan in strengthand speed. Where the Kurukan, however, areregarded as servants of death and hell, the Shi-rakan are by life, able to heal those in need by amere look. In many things, the two clans aretheir opposites; where the Kurukan are arro-gant, the Shirakan are humble, where the Ku-rukan are black, the Shirakan are white. Yet,they are both revered as parts of a necessarrycycle of life and death, and for that reason, theygenerally share teams.

The clans founder, along with Takeo, were the�rst to �nd the Chikage when he lay woundedon the battle�eld of the First Shinobi war.Through an act of grace, Teruo healed the dyingShinobi, and the three became close friends andcombatants. The Shirakan had few membersin its �rst fragile years, as Teruo only judgeda man from his abilities, and the ability to healwas mandatory for those who wanted to becomea Shirakan. As time passed, however, the num-bers of the clan quickly grew, and though it stillremains one of the smallest clans, it can matchthe Kurukan in both strength and numbers.The current leader takes his position as clanleader very seriously, and takes great interestin the education of clanmembers, often makingsure that the standards are met himself, and hehas been known to train several youths. As thechief of medicine he has also added a manda-tory healthplan, to ensure that all the membersof the Village are in good shape, and his white-red coat is a sight �lled with joy to most.

The Takanuma Family

The number of Takanuma Shinobi is the great-est in the village, having numbers that even sur-passes that of the regular Shinobi, and as such,the avarage Chigakure Shinobi is a Takanuma.Allthough their numbers are the greatest, theyare generally distrusted, and avoided as they areeasily provoked and only a drop of their bloodmay be lethal. Masters of bloodshed, even theKurukan keeps their distance from these �ercewarriors, regarding them as scum.The Takanuma were founded by the loyal Ryota,who was given the noble task to watch over thenew recruits in his Shrine of Body and assimilatethem into the Village. As the powers unravalledit was decided that all the recruits who had ac-quired the bloodline were to form a Noble familyunder the command of Ryota, which increasedthe recruits' loyalty to the Chikage.The current leader, Takanuma Nobu, takesgreat pride in his appointed task, chosen not bydescendance from Ryota, but through his ownstrength, he has the full loyalty of the Takanu-mam, who only respect power. As the Chiefof Military, a position generally given to thetakanuma, he controls all missions concerninghostilities against the other countries, aswell asdemanding in�ltration missions.

Moto Clan Akushagan

Some stories claim that the powerful bloodlinepower of the Uchiha, Sharingan, is an o�springof Hyuuga's Byakugan. The Moto clan's EvilCopy Eye is often pointed to as a proof , withpowers from both the Sharingan and the Byaku-gan. Some sort of missing link. The bloodlineis looked upon as imperfect by both the Hyu-uga and the Uchiha, since it does not hold thegreates power of any of them. What those clansseems to forget, or ignore, is the fact that someof the grandest masters of taijutsu is o�springsfrom the clan, since their ability to pierce andcopy all taijutsu techniques is yet unmatched.They are also known to be able to use the mys-tical Hyuuga Ryuu's, the Jyuuken. As power-ful as they may seem, with the powers of bothbloodlines, there is much, however, that theydo not possess. Compared to the true users ofJyuuken, or the ninjutsu masters of the Uchiha,they fade like leaves in the wind. They also lackthe Byakugan power of scouting and are unableto copy ninjutsu techniques and are as weakto genjutsu as anyone else. There are some,however, who claims that some possessing thisbloodline have been known to loose their inher-ited power, and instead acquire either the true

24 CONTENTS

Byakugan or Sharingan. Those few are imme-dietly accepted, some say forced, into the ap-propriate clan and the secret of attaining this isstill a mystery.

In addition, theuser retains his Dexterity bonus to Defense evenin situation where he would normally be deniedit.Manifesting this special eye condition requiresan attack action that does not provoke attacksof opportunity, and costs the user 3 points ofchakra every 2 rounds, which cannot be con-verted to hit points. The user also ful�lls therequirements of having the Byakugan ability fortechnique prerequisites.Koudu Akushagan (Su): This ability canonly be acquired by Heroic Characters. Thee�ects of this ability is the exact same as thatof Evil Copy Eye, but with a few di�erences.The See Chakra ability is increased to 1d8+1rounds, and the character is able to See ThroughChakra for 1d4 rounds by concentrating for afull round.Master of the Eye (Su): A character whohave reached level 15 and possesses the KouduAkushagan automatically attains this power.

Due to the similiarity with Sharingan, itto is able to predict an opponents movementbefore the action has begun, an insight thatallows the wielder to copy techniques. The bigdi�erence, though, is that the Akushagan is un-able to copy and nullify Ninjutsu and Genjutsutechniques. Instead, it's power lies in the abil-ity to do so with all Taijutsu techniques. Someclaim, though, that the power also may be usedto identify and memorize Ninjutsu and Gen-jutsu techniquesTo use this ability, the user must have theKoudu Akushagan or Akushagan active, andchoose the ready action, as though he was usinga counterspell, using the following rules:If the target chosen, which must be in line ofsight, uses a Taijutsu technique, the charac-ter makes the appropriate check to identify it,regardless if the character already knows it.Identifying the technique is a free action. Ifthe check succeeds, the character can copy thetechnique and must roll the appropriate Per-form DC and pay the same Chakra Cost as thetarget would(though he can freely convert it tohit points).If the check fails or the character lacks theChakra, the process also fails. In case of asuccess, the user can choose to either Nullify,Memorize or Copy the technique, as detailedbelow. The character cannot copy techniquethat requires an Advanced Bloodline or specialrequirements which he does not meet. Afterusing this ability, whether he choose to copy ornullify the technique, the user gains a +2 bonusto his learn checks to learn the Copied or Nul-

li�ed technique for two weeks, after which thememory will fade if unused.The character can still successfully copy or nul-lify the technique, even though it fails on thetarget's side, and must declare which he will usebefore knowing the result.The character may also choose to go throughthis same process for any Ninjutsu or Genjutsutechnique that requires hand-seals or half-sealscomponents, but may only memorize the tech-nique. He may not use this ability, though, ifthe the techniques user chooses to perform thetechnique without hand seals or half seals, aswith the hand seals mastery feat.Nullify: Using this ability, the character usesthe technique against the target and both tech-niques have absolutely no e�ect other than can-cel each other out. The target must obviouslybe in range of this technique for this to work.The character may not, however, nullify Tai-jutsu techniques that only have e�ect on theuser.Copy: With this aspect of the Imperfect Tech-nique Mimicry, the character gets to use thistechnique as the target would, on any target inrange.Memorize: Instead of copying or nullifying thetechnique, the user can simply choose to mem-orize it. He must still succeed the Perform DCand pay half of the technique's Chakra Cost(minimum 1), but he may not use it as hewould while Nullifying or Copying a technique.Success allows the user to later develop the tech-nique with a +2 bonus to his Learn Check, asthough he had copied or nulli�ed it.

Imperfect Akushagan TechniqueMimicry Feat

Using the power of your Evil Copy Eye blood-line, you are able to see thing others can't andare able to pierce your enemies Taijutsu tech-niques and copy them.

Barrier of the Three Gods

Ninjutsu(; Requires Murderous Intent of theTwin God (t), Kurugan Eye +3 (a), ShiraganEye (a), Kuodo Tenaigo +3 (a); Chigakure Hi-jutsu) (A-Rank; Rank 9)Learn DC: 24, 5 Success; Perform DC: 26;Time: 1 attack action; Components: H,C; Range: 10 ft(from each other); Area:10x10x10 ft;Target: see text; Duration: 3rounds +1/3 levels; Saving Throws: See text;Chakra Cost: 18 (see text)This techniques require three persons to use, oneof the Shirakan bloodline, one of the Kurukanbloodline and one of the Dosato bloodline, whomust be standing in a triangular formation. Atthe completion of this technique, a triangularbarrier is created around them(and above them)protecting all squares between them. This wallis said impenetrable by all means of taijutsu andninjutsu. The chakra cost of this technique is di-vided equally to the three. If one of the usersdo not have chakra enough to use this technique,the technique does not function, but the othersstill looses the chakra.Every taijutsu used against this barrier are com-pletely nulli�ed, and the attacker receives 4negative energy damage. Each ninjutsu usedagainst this barrier has a chance of failure. Ev-ery ninjutsu used against the barrier must suc-ceed a ninjutsu check equal to the highest per-form DC of the wielders plus their combinedcharisma modi�er, divided by three((char modnumber 1 + char mod number 2 + char mod

number 3) / 3). If the check is succeeded, thejutsu manages to penetrate the barrier and deals½ its normal damage. If it succeeds with 10 ormore, the barrier is destroyed, and the jutsudeals normal damage. If the check is equal tothe DC or lower, the technique is nulli�ed. Ifthe check is failed by 10 or more, the techniqueis redirected at the user.

Chibunshin no Jutsu

Ninjutsu [Chigakure Kinjutsu]Rank: 5 (B-Class); Learn DC: 19, 4 success;Perform DC: 20; Time: 1 full-round action;Components: C, H, F, Mas; Range: 50 feet(see text); E�ect: Duplicates of the user; Du-ration: 1 minute/level (D); Saving Throws:None; Chakra Cost: 1 + 2 per additional clone(maximum 1 per level).This technique is basically an advanced versionof Bunshin no Jutsu that creates solid clonesfrom the users blood as carrier for the user'schakra. It is highly forbidden and only taught tosome rare Jounin-level ninjas. Using this tech-nique, the user is able to divide his energy tocreate several copies of himself.While the replications are not capable of sen-tient thought, they share a bond of sort thatallows the user to communicate orders to hisclones; the bond is only one way, though, andthe clones cannot send orders, thoughts or im-ages to the user. As such, the clones follow theuser's instructions to the letter. A Chibunshinis its own person and if caught in a genjutsu,only the replica will be a�ected, and not theuser and/or the whole group of clone. Anythingexperienced by the clone will be remembered bythe user when the technique expires, althoughit should be noted that no extra experience orgame-wise bonus will be awared from this, onlythe knowledge acquired by the clone.

The clones have 1 hit points per three levels ofthe user, saving throws equal to that of the userminus two, the same attack bonus as the userminus 4, though it may not have more than twoattacks per round. It shares the user's defenseas well, with a -5 penalty, as well as all feats, tal-ents and special abilities (though not templatesand/or bloodlines) the user may have, but doesnot bene�t from any temporary bonuses the usermay currently have (such as Shodan Kousoku orTadayou).A chibunshin may not stray further than 50 feetfrom another clone or the user, and may be cre-ated anywhere within that distance. It can useany technique the user may have under Rank 4,with the same skills modi�er, but doing so re-quires the clone to borrow the user's chakra di-rectly from his Chakra Pool without being ableto convert the Chakra Cost to hit points. In ad-dition, all drawbacks coming from a techniqueused by a replication not only a�ects the clone,but also the user. A replica counts as the userif it uses a technique to create clones, and thusthey are controlled by the user and his own limitis used.The clone is genuine and carry the very sameequipment as the user except chakradependentitems such as exploding tags or sunburst tags.Any items carried by the chi bunshin has nohardness and only half the original's hit points.Poison and mastercraft bonuses are not carriedover to the clone's equipment.Lastly, while the clone can use techniques, itcannot normally perform any activities requir-ing particular attention, such as sensing chakra,setting o� an exploding tag or carrying a se-rious conversation. Once the clone reaches 0hit points, strays too far from another clone orthe user or the duration expires, it disappearsin a pu� of smoke. When Sensing Chakra, theclones count as though having half the user'sChakra Pool. Creating a chi bunshin not onlycosts Chakra, but also divides the user's physicalenergy, which is why this technique is forbiddenin the �rst place. For each clone created by thistechnique, the user su�ers 1d4 points of Staminadamage. Stamina damage from this source cankill the user.While the user can freely replace any clones lostby using this technique more than once, he can-not control a number greater of clone than thespeci�ed maximum. He can also choose to dissi-pate a single clone (or more) of his choice ratherthan the whole group. He also cannot control

any other sort of clone while using this technique(including simple Bunshins or Tajuu Kage Bun-shins). A simple usage of this technique withoutadding to the cost (2) creates one kage bunshin.Mastery: If this technique is mastered, the dis-tance the clone can stray for increases by 20 feetper step of mastery, up to 100 feet at the �fthstep, total 150 feet.Material Focus: A small quantity of the usersblood. The amount of damage taken for theamount of blood is atleast 6 hp. Note thatthis damage is taken every time the technique isused, not for every clone created.

Optional Rules

This chapter contains the optional rules for Negative Energy Damage, which is the base for theHiragawa Kenji Hijutsus.

Negative Energy Damage

Negative Energy is part of the world, as much asany element or creature. It exists to be the an-tithesis of existance, while not death itself. Neg-ative Energy was originally a part of this world,but was drawn into this world so long ago, andscarred the lives of so many, that it can't be sep-arated from it.Said to have been the cause of the originalCursed Seal, few have been able to use evenfractions of this energy, and even less have mas-tered it. Alot of research has been conducted onit, as it does not follow the laws of nature thatman have assigned, yet it works in such har-mony. The sight of it has droven many talentedShinobi into madness and darkness, seeking tounderstand it, or claim its powers.Some techniques and power (such as Raite noKuru and the Child of Darkness feat) dealsdamage in this alternate power source. Thisdamage functions like normal damage, and isrecovered like normal damage. If attempted tobe healed through Iryou-ninjutsu or other tech-niques and abilities, only half the designateddamage is healed. Note that certain creatures

may also be healed by Negative Energy, andsome techniques dissipates it.

Self-In�icted Negative EnergyDamage

There is a common path shared by those whoseek to understand the Negative Energy, andthat is to take some inside them, for allthoughthe energies live in the world, they do not natu-rally inhabit creatures and must be forced to doso.Self-in�icted negative energy damage functionsalot di�erent from the regular negative energydamage, in that those who have it must alwaysnotify the total amount of self-in�icted negativeenergy damage received on a separate column.Even if the character is healed to full hit points,the character may never remove any points fromthis column other than through the useage of thePath of Light feat. Depending on the amount ofself-in�icted negative energy damage the char-acter has in his column, the character may geta number of modi�cations and powers, as indi-cated by the table below.

Negative Energy received Special Modi�cations100 Dark Past200 Heart In Shades400 Soul In Shades800 Body In Shades1200 Heart In Darkness1700 Body In Darkness2400 Soul In Darkness

Goal: World dominion, open a gate to theAbyss.

The organization known as Kuru no Katsu isthe only documented organized worhsip of theGods of the Abyss, and allthough the organiza-tion has been unheard of for the last millenia asmall number of documents still exist describingit.

History

The Kuru no Katsu was formed thousands ofyears ago by four brothers who discovered away to open a small rift to the Negative En-ergy Plane. Not knowing what it was, theypeered into the Abyss, and sighted creatures anddemons beyond imagination. The only ones whowere able to look back at them were the fourGods of the Abyss. Tricking the brothers thatthey were under their control, they o�ered thema reward if they would open a gate for them toenter their world. When they asked what re-ward that would be, they said that they wouldbecome the masters of the world, being grantedpowers beyond imagination if they would onlykneel, but to them. This was in a time whenthere was no Shinobi organization, and the onlyknown way to attain superhuman powers was

by following the teachings of the Immortal, whohad long since left the world, so they accepted.As time passed by, they managed to open a big-ger rift, but it was nowhere close to big enough,but the Gods could feel their power slippinginto the world. Content with the result, theymade the brothers their High Priests, the Lordsof Darkness and granted them the powers ofthe God Seals, giving them the mission to ac-quire power and minions in order to conquer theworld.As minions were brought forth to the Gods,they devoured parts of their souls, creating crea-tures so diabolical and infused with NegativeEnergy that the world had never seen anythinglike it. As the army grew in number, the Lordsof Darkness �nally gave the organization itsname; Kuru no Katsu, the Darkness Prevails,and made ready to wage war on the world.The war that followed involved the entire world,and temple after temple of feeble believers inthe Immortal fell to the Kuru no Katsu. Theyappeared to unstoppable, and as the believersturned their fate to an ancient artifact, theyhalted their e�orts, savoring the moment.This, however, gave the would-be Shinobi allthe time they needed, and asked the Earth itselffor aid. The Earth gave the world the Bijuus,manifestations of its powers, and with the aid ofthose, the Kuru no Katsu were defeated.Angered with loosing the war, the Gods de-voured the brothers and chose new leaders fromthe Kuru no Katsu ranks, who were weakenedand few. Knowing that it would take cen-turies, or even millenias, for them to regaintheir strength, Kuru no Katsu waited. Waitedfor leaders with strength and talent enough tomatch that of the four brothers that founded theorganization.

Nothing can be without me. Cities would crum-ble, kings would fall, and man would hunt manlike beasts. Without me, you devour, with me,you remain. You want it, and I allow it, hatredwill grow. Blood has been shed in my halls, andblood shall forth be shed. Rivers of blood shedby my hand, to serve my Justice. No wound leftto dry, but to be soaked in opponents' blood. Aneye be taken for every eye given, every woundreturned. The only punishment is death. I amthe cycle, and I am Justice. I decree when tobegin, and when to end. I am the Law, I amEternal.The God of Judgement is the force of vengeanceand retribution, the need and hunger to returnevery wound given. Emotionlessly, he judges allof man, and decrees who is worthy and who isnot, who must die and who shall live. Whenthe Apocalypse has come, he will separate themasters from the slaves. He is the twisted justi-�cations for murder and enslavement. He is thelaw, as the God of the Abyss is the gate.

Brothers, Ikill, sons, I slay, mothers I break, fathers I de-stroy. The passing of time cannot dull my blade,or stop my reign. I kill and maim, I pillage andI rape.

I call you, I hear you, I am you. I've died athousand times, and I've born a million. I amnot one, I am not many, I am everything. Myeyes peer at you, as I devour your soul. Slowlyyou realize, you need me, as I need you. Alonewe fall, united we stand. Strength is all thatmatters, and alone you will be devoured. Honormatters not, pride is futile.

The

Deity: The Immortal.

Symbol: A necklace.

Portfolio: Chakra, Friendship, Knowledge,Love, Loyalty, Protection, Power.

The worship, or rather revering, of the man onlyknown as the Immortal is as ancient as time it-self, or atleast, so it is claimed. The originsof the Immortal is unknown and irrelevant, asnone of the countries and city's that then ex-isted, exists today, but what is known is thathe was a being of power unmatched yet to thisday. Even though he had all of these powers,the worshipers claim that he never used themfor own gaining, but to aid and protect those heloved, and those to weak to protect themselves.But the times he used his powers, he could com-mand the elements themselves.More famed than his prowess and kindness, washis exalted knowledge, as he taught to those ar-round him of his wisdom. Traces of his teach-ings can be found in many religions and be-liefs, including Buddhism and Konoha's Will ofFire, and those who heeded his words learnedhow to manipulate the power source from whichhis strength originated. What he taught them,was the ability to use chakra, but he nevertaught those who took pleasure in others su�er-ing, placed themselves �rst or acted out of greed.Instead, he diminished the pupils to those ableto give of them selves to others without reward.Those pupils organized themselves into a hier-archy, and thus was the shinobi society born,but they acted out of sheer love, and never de-manded anything in return, instead living of the

land and o�erings.Many years passed by, and the Immortal grewold. At 500 years of age, the man called the Im-mortal decided that it was time for him to leavethe world in the hands of his pupils whom, aftergenerations in his care, had grown much pow-erful compared to the people, but true to theirduty. Many wept when he left, and tried to con-vince him to stay. When he looked into theirfaces, and saw their pain, he knew that he couldnot leave them entirely. At the spot, he createdan artifact, not more than a simple medallionout of wood with a steel chain, and handed it tothem. He told them that in their hour of gravestneed, when no hope was to be found, they could�nd him by using it, and those true to the callwould allways be welcome. After that, he passedinto legend.Hundreds of years later, the war came to theworld. The organization known under the nameof Kuru no Katsu had appeared from the dark-ness. Having su�ered grave losses in the waragainst them, to protect the lands, the shinobiattempted to �nd the Immortal by the medal-lion. When it did not work, they forsook thebelief and blamed the Immortal for their suf-fering, and they had the earth send forth theBijuus.But were all the others failed in their belief, onefamily of shinobi kept true in their belief, andbuilt a temple at the borders of society. Theycalled it the Temple of Enlightenment, seekingthe same understanding as the one the Immortalhad grasped. There, they protected the medal-lion until their death. The ruins lay untouchedfor centuries, millenias, and it was only a cou-ple of decades ago that it was rediscovered bya group of Missing-Nins, where they chose tobuild their new home...

The Legacies

The Immortal passed on the belief in three ma-jor legacies, and three means to get power. Here�ered to them as soul, blood and crown, andfew is it that, today, know the meaning of thesewords. He also stated that many possessed one

legacy, and many possessed two, but that therewas none who possessed all three, and so itwould not be until the time had come. Whattime, he never told.

Soul

To hone your spirit, is to hone your body. Tran-quility can only be achieved when they both arebalanced, and from it, power will spring. Tohone your body, is to hone our spirit. One can-not achieve without will.The legacy of soul, is the legacy of how to use theinner power that all carries, chakra, and enablethe body to achieve feat that would otherwisebe impossible.

Blood

Powers come from within, without and fromblood. One can hone and change ones soul andbody, but can never change ones blood. But yeshall also know, that blood carries no promiseand no lies, but a curse and a blessing.The legacy of blood, is the power of the ad-vanced bloodlines. The children of the Immortalwere able to use and evolve powers that none ofthe other pupils could, due to their relation tohim. Many envied those children, but they werenot as adaptable as the rest, and their powerswere no near that of the Immortal.

Crown

The crown of creation can only be achieved bythose pure in heart and deed, for those will beable to transcend and disregard their mortal shelland protect those that su�er from the chill of thedark.The legacy of crown is said to be the legacy ofpower, but none know, for none, or atleast few,have ever possessed the legacy of crown, exceptfor the Immortal himself. Those that broke withthe faith in him often claim that it was becausehe did not wish anyone to rival his powers, butmany think otherwise, that the powers of crownwill be granted to those worthy when they needit.
