War and strife is a old friend of the shinobi world, starting when the shinobi just began. Shinobi fought against one another under various names, even powerful clans rose to fight against one another. It was when the Senju clan, lead by Senji Hashirama, and the Uchiha clan, lead by Uchiha Madara, clashed that things were set on a track to change. The two clans clashed, and yet neither faded away like other groups of shinobi and clans that were too weak to continue on. It was through Hashirama and Madara's clashing that lead to a alliance between the clans that would change the world forever. Shortly after, villages would begin to pop up starting with Konohagakure. Hashirama became the first leader, known as the Hokage.

But strife was not far behind. The Uchiha clan was still a fearsome clan, but kept under watch after Madara's attack on Hashirama which left the Shodaime Hokage dead. This had forever sealed Konoha's fate to never have peace, at least for a long amount of time. As ages past, war broke out in the years to come. War brought heroes, such as the Nidaime Hokage, Sandaime Hokage, Copy-cat Kakashi, and even brought out the most feared and respected name at that age, Konoha no Kiiroi Senkō. The man was Namikaze Minato and he was one of the sole heroes of the war with Iwagakure. When he became Yondaime Hokage and married the Kyuubi jinchuuriki Uzumaki Kushina, he had sealed his fate. He knew of his wive's weakness during the childbirth process, to which she was closing in on. It would be that night that would put a destiny into one boy's hands.

Uchiha Madara succeeded in freeing the Kyuubi from Kushina, but his plans all came to a end in the same night when Kushina and Minato sacrificed themselves for their son, Uzumaki Naruto. The Kyuubi was sealed, turning the boy into a hero already at birth. But this sealing would torment the boy for years. Life went on, as Naruto became his own legend, minor as it was. From saving Land of Wave from a monopolizing tyrant to mastering his father's most powerful technique, to becoming the student of legendary Sanin Jiraiya, Naruto has begun to make his name known. Despite all this, he is hunted and so are those like him. They are the jinchuuriki, prey to the shadows simply known as Akatsuki. They seek to remake the world by using the bijuu sealed within the nine jinchuuriki. It is during the time that the boy Naruto is away training that a series of events happen that begin to lead to a catalyst.

However, through it all, Naruto and his friends triumphed. First, Akatsuki fell to the hands of the Shinobi Nations. Second, the legacy of Orochimaru died with Kabuto, who was ended finally by Uchiha Sasuke himself. Even "Madara" was defeated at the end and the war came to a close. Through the years, the shinobi nations repaired what had been destroyed and found a way to keep peace. However, there rises a shadow on the horizon that will bring out the darkness in us all. The cycle of hatred spins once more in the days of long-sought peace.
