Welcome to Gaia! ::

It's really that good? I made it up off the top of my head! sweatdrop

xDDD

Chaos Demon, may I contribute history to your story or to the world for that matter? I'm more of an intellect, enjoying science and whatnot. I took the opportunity to learn more of Japanese mythology (with some Chinese) along with history. Naruto writer, Kishimoto, loves to use mythology and history in Naruto. I had an idea where at one point, all five major countires of Fire, Earth, Wind, Water, and Lightning were one land ruled by an imperial family whose descendants are scattered in the other countries unbeknownest to others. I based this on Japanese and Chinese history.

You are a very interesting talker and I look forward to many conversations. It's not to often that I have to defend my opinions, normally because I don't post them as much. What you were speaking of earlier did speak some truth; that the descendants would be aware. However, you are assuming that every single one would aware and would be on the same side. The war was more like a historic battle, one family would try to overthrow another, or simply a collapse one might say that would result in massive casualities. Because of this, there would hardly be any member within this certain dynasty that would 'repopulate'. Out of that small percentage, most survivors decided not to talk about their lineage and simply lived like normal people, not even becoming shinobi.

Out of a possible 1,000,000,000 people in a population, you're lucky to find 1 or 2 that can remember the past. Also, those who can remember are not likely to work together with other relatives. They could live very different and bizarre lifestyles. I imagine about 7 in the Shade country, while maybe one or two in the other countries. The rest are just people who no long are aware of their lifestyles. If I hadn't made myself clear, please let me know, I'm eager to give information.

Don't worry, I'm a fanatic myself. And this is where things get better. In Japan and China, people can trace their lineage to about 500 to 700 years since they enjoy keeping records. The correction is that most of these descendants wouldn't really forge an alliance. Some would be unfazed by their rich descent, and simply carry on their normal everyday routines. Some other individuals might either want to restore power or even make their own legends as you have clearly stated. As mentioned before, some would adopt the idea of others' point of views, like people of the Shade. Some would believe, like my character, that their era had ended and is now left to other people to take charge of fate.

Those that want to return to the state of power would most likely want to get rid of their fellow relatives that have no capability to clean out their own blood of impurity and flaws, since inbreeding was common in those days. Also, some of the daimyo, or lords of the countries, were all once retainers to the central emperor, which you know in our history in Europe and East Asia. Daimyo keep the Kage the same way the Emperor would keep the daimyo. Who knows, maybe some countries go through their own civil wars. Also, it would be rare for a Kage to have the imperial ancestry. If you want to help on my historical documentation, please by all means assist me.

I won? That's odd, because you seem like the kind of person who could contribute alot of jutsu and history to this guild. I'll guess I can tell you about the two ruling families: one that was in power, and the other that tried to overthrow the current power; both failing and nearly driven one another to extinction. At first, I wanted to go with the legend of familes being descended from a divine origin: like a god or dragon, but I decided to debunk that for the sake of being balanced out.

So, 1,797 years ago a fateful comet passed through the night sky, and impacted a dense forest. Supposedly, no person was at the impact site. But six to eight years later, a local lord began garnering support due to this claim of recieving divine power. Eventually, his enemies succumbed to his forces and he established a dynasty or shogunate or whatever you would like to call it.

Well, Chaos Demon's story is the main plot along with the Ten Tailed Demon. This is just a backstory and I tried to make this take place before the events of what Chaos Demon spoke of so it wouldn't interfere in any of his plots. If Chaos Demon wants, he can tweak my story into his liking.

As for the villages involved, it's nearly most of the villages you see in this guild. Like the old days, the system of power was like this: shinobi carry out the will of the village kage, the village kage and neighboring samurai exist to serve the daimyo whose country they live on, lastly the daimyo are vassals or retainers to the central head of government, the emperor.

I'm really just waiting for Chaos Demon to PM back to me so we can figure this whole heap of historical mess out. Do you want me to continue?

I'm here. Have you guys ever played Dynasty Warriors, or any of the Dynasty Warriors games? They're for PS/PS2 and XBox/XBox360.
It is based off Real Chinese history, during the time of the Three Kingdoms: Shu, Wu, and Wei.

P.S. It's a shame hoshigaki-sama had to quit. However, it won't be hard to replace his position of an akatsuki member.
