Naruto: A New Generation … Version 2.0
Led by Konoha New Gen Council: Literate, Demise, Adzieboy, and ~Hyuu
(Yes, all five of us. Lit is the main plot brainstormer, Demise and Adzieboy add very logical words, they're honest, and perspective, and Hyuu compiles everything into paragraphs. Enflamedsteelix has sadly resigned ;.; )
Because apparently, some old participants don't understand...This is version 2.0 Many things have changed. If you participated in the former version, I suggest you STILL read over this one.
“And the great Uzumaki Naruto, with Nara Shikamaru, the Chunin leader, Hyuuga Neji, Akimichi Choji, and Inuzuka Kiba, a scattered team created last minute, departed to Sasuke’s rescue!” A man in the uniform wear of most upper level Konohagakure ninja, the forest vest and blue under stockings, read in a soft voice to an eager ring of children. The excited younglings were scoot close to the Chunin, leaning in to better hear the excellent story of Naruto Uzumaki.
After minutes of unsatisfying silence, an impatient boy pouted a frown. “What happened next, sensei?”
“Well… I wonder,” The Chunin placed a finger on his chin, a gesture of thought.
“Seeennnnnssseeeeiiiii! You should know! You know eeeevvvveeeeerrrrryyyytttthhhhiiiiinnnngggg!” A female voice whined in a sweet, drawn out voice only a toddler would use that somehow managed to sound both cute and whiny.
“Ah,” Put on the spot, Sensei scratched the back of his head nervously, “Well… The ending is lost. No one really knows what happened to the history books the Hokage kept or the people in the story. That’s as far as accurate history goes, Hikari,” his face suddenly turned serious, “And I will not teach you the deranged-“
“What does deranged mean?” For a moment, the Chunin had a relapse of thought, remembering he was dealing with toddlers. He smiled kindly at the questioner and continued in a more gentle tone.
“I mean, the lies people come up with today. It’s like teaching you two plus two equals six.”
“Ahhhhh! It-it doesn’t?!” A boy in the back of the row exclaimed, flustering when laughter erupted from the other children. Sighing in exasperation, the Chunin just happened to glance at his watch. He burst out of his stool in shock at the time, and stepped over the children, gathering their things into a bundle and heading for the door.
“Uh-oh! Kids, we need to go outside! I’m sure your mommy and daddies are waiting already!” He shouted while delightfully stepping out of the academy door, holding the door open with his back for the other children. The children, to their credit, were already rushing out the door, having been lectured a few times for being late and not reminding their sensei if they saw the time. He slowly gave the items from his arms to the children one-by-one, kindly smiling at each as they took their things and ran to their parents. It was such a sight, children roaming to the arms of loving parents.
Things had changed. So many things had changed since Naruto’s day…
Things have certainly changed.
Half a century since the day’s of Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and the whole of Team Kakashi’s deaths, Konoha has changed. The conflict of the Hidden Village of the Sound and Konohagakure has turned into dust. The final war ravaged the land, leaving behind destruction and death in its wake. Historians often argue over who won the great final battle. No one knows. Nearly everyone from the two villages were obliterated, only a few surviving, and those surviving cluttering the truth with rumors and lies. What’s left of diaries and journal books have allowed the modern day to know the stories of Naruto Uzumaki from his hardships since childhood, to the times when he was determined to rescue Sasuke from the Sound nin.
The Uzumaki era, as modern historians refer to it as, is all but lost in an ocean of mysteries, lies, and fiction. Their book has closed. Their story is finished, tightly weaved shut by time.
… And now, a new wind blows.
Konohagakure has returned to its most tranquil state, wars diminished till the conflicts are forgotten and all Hidden Villages on good terms, or at the very least not hostile, with one another. Violence has softened and the shinobi of the Hidden Leaf Village have gone into a relaxation unknown to them before. Formerly, the Leaf nin were always wary of attacks, warned about rumors, and worse of all, in constant fear for their or their loved one’s lives, through day and night. Now, Konoha has allowed their teachings to soften in its hazard-ness and they have begun taking advantage of the atmosphere.
How does this involve you?
You are an ambitious genin of this peaceful era, one of the recent graduates from the still standing academy of the Hidden Leaf Village. Like all graduates, you will be assigned to different three man squads under the lead of a unique jonin, with the original objective to conquer missions for the benefit of the Village. That age old practice has not changed. However, you will discover and achieve much more than that. Learning about your team members, improving the skills you didn’t know you had, and honing your talents are only a few experiences of what you and your new squad will be encountering. Watching rivalries evolve in its odd battle for glory and pride, strengthening relationships, challenging enemies who threaten everything your foundation stands on, and tragedy.
This is most definitely … Naruto: A New Generation.

*The last spot is up for anyone. First accepted gets it.
*If you’re still holding complaints about “not allowed to relate to anime characters” rule… Well, look at the title. Naruto: A New Generation. If people were to relate to anime characters, either it would have no impact on the personality, barely any on the history, maybe a smidge on the appearance, and be absolutely pointless to include… Or, what we’re more concerned about, is that we’ll end up with anime clones that have the same jutsu as the anime characters. This is Naruto: A NEW Generation. We want to emphasize NEW. Remember that.
Ah, on a closing note, genins should not overpower themselves at the beginning. Things like Kinjutsu and learning new ninjutsu should be paced throughout the RPG and the jutsu themselves should not exceed standards by too much.
