The world is, and will always remain, scarred. After the Third Ninja World War, there are few things in the world that remain untouched.

The Great Nations of the Hidden Rock and Hidden Cloud have fallen, with those surviving becoming criminals, and many of them dangerous. Among the other fallen villages are the Hidden Waterfall, Rain, Grass, and Star. The Hidden Sound has begun to recruit survivors of these once great nations.

Even now, the remenants of the Hidden Villages bicker amongst themselves while a new power is growing, hidden by the blindness of these nations.......
