General Rules Contained here are 4 threads,each containing the rules for each seperate roleplay! Read them if you wish to do a different roleplay,otherwise,punishment WILL be taken!
--The Land of Fire is home to Konohagakure, the Village Hidden in the Leaves, and is the home of the majority of the main characters in Naruto. It enjoys a relatively temperate climate, with generally sunny conditions year-round. It was at first widely regarded as one of the strongest countries, but became significantly weaker after the invasion of Orochimaru. Itachi Uchiha, a member of Akatsuki and Sasuke's older brother, is also from this country.--
--The Land of Rice Fields (Ta no Kuni), otherwise known as the Land of Sound (Oto no Kuni), is a small country bordering the Land of Fire and home to Otogakure, Orochimaru's own hidden village. The Land of Rice Fields is its original name, with the Land of Sound being Orochimaru's own name for it. Many of its shinobi were collected, most being from the Fuma clan, to supply his need for followers and jutsu.--
--The Land of the Waterfall (Taki no Kuni) consists of a large waterfall which hides Takigakure, its hidden village. Not much is known about this land, except that Team 7 had a mission that brought them here. Obviously, the landmark of the area is its waterfall, which is rather large by modern standards. Their only prized possession is the Hero Water, which gives the drinker enormous amounts of chakra for a short period of time, but will cause bodily harm or even death to the user. Kakuzu, an Akatsuki member, hails from it.--
--The Land of Rain (Ame no Kuni?) is home to Amegakure, but little is known beyond that. At least two of their genin teams advanced to the second stage of the Chunin exam. The first team was killed by Gaara's Desert Funeral. The second team was defeated by Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, Sasuke Uchiha, and Kabuto near the end of the exam in order to obtain a Heaven scroll. This second team appears once more during the Tea Country filler arc, along with a former Konoha Jonin, Aoi Rokushou. In a flashback, as Aoi and Idate Morino, Ibiki Morino's younger brother, were running towards its Hidden Village at night, it was shown to be filled with a great number of small buildings in a heavily wooded area, suggesting that it might perhaps be located in a rainforest--
--The Land of Grass (Kusa no Kuni?) is home to Kusagakure. Little else is known about the Land of Grass. Zetsu, a member of Akatsuki, is also from this country. It is probably very rich with flora--
--The Land of Water (Mizu no Kuni?) is oriented towards the element of water. Its weather is typically cool and full of mist and lakes. In some places, like the area where Haku grew up, it is very cold and snows quite a bit. Little is currently known about it and it apparently leaves itself out of most political affairs, which is understandable considering that it is an island relatively remote from the continent containing the other four major countries. Its hidden village is Kirigakure, the Village Hidden in the Mist. The Land of Water is the smallest and poorest of the five great countries, which may be the reason why Kirigakure used to hold the gruesome graduation tests that it did. In their previous graduation exams, Ninja Academy students were paired off to fight to the death; the examination committee tried to pit best friends against each other as often as possible. This is possibly the most inhumane exam ever devised, and limiting even more the number of ninja in the village. However, after a young Zabuza Momochi, a boy who had not even passed the academy's graduation exam, butchered that year's entire graduating class in one go, the village changed its policy to a (presumably) more humane one. Its seven strongest ninja were once part of a group called the Mist's Seven Swordsmen, which included Zabuza Momochi, the Akatsuki member Kisame Hoshigaki, and Raiga Kurosuki. Zabuza actually attempted a coup d'¨¦tat in the country, but was repelled.--
--The Land of Earth (Tsuchi no Kuni?) has seen little attention in the series thus far. What little is known is that it is oriented towards the element of earth, with many mountains and caves dotted about the country. They are not allies with the Land of Fire, as noted in the Kakashi Gaiden arc. Their hidden village is Iwagakure, the Village Hidden in the Rocks. Deidara, a member of Akatsuki, hails from this country.--
--The Land of Wind (Kaze no Kuni?) is a dry and desolate country, but also has some of the most powerful ninja. Its hidden village is Sunagakure, Village Hidden in the Sand. The Land of Wind has been relatively uninvolved with politics until recent times, and even had a peace treaty signed with the Land of Fire. The lord ruling it, however, had been systematically cutting down his military force and transferring missions he would normally address to his own country's hidden village to Konohagakure, prompting desperate measures on the part of the Kazekage at the time. Sasori, a member of Akatsuki, hails from the Land of Wind.--
--The Land of Lightning (Kaminari no Kuni?) has also seen little attention in the series. Its hidden village is Kumogakure, the Village Hidden in the Clouds. The leader of Kumogakure once came to Konohagakure under the premise of a diplomatic mission when, in truth, he was attempting to abduct Hinata Hyuga to obtain the secrets of the Byakugan. Yugito, the host of the Two Tails, is from this area.--
