Plot

Deep within the forests of the Whirpool Country, a shinobi raced away from his pursuers. With three quick steps, he landed on a tree branch, his black hair flying back with his sudden stop. Pivoting on his left foot, he spun around. "Kiragakure no Jutsu." Bringing his hands together, a mist suddenly erupted around the area, lowering his opponent's vision completely. His face parts in slight shock at the strength of the mist as he performs new hand seals. "Hyouton: Makyou Hyoushou!" Mirrors or pure, crystalline ice surrounded his two pursuers. Dancing back and forth from mirror to mirror, the shinobi killed his pursuers. As they died, the mist departed.

The shinobi landed on the ground, looking up he spoke to the darkness surrounding him in the forest. "Why did you help me, and who are you?" Suddenly a kunoichi around his age landed on the ground not too far away. The female ninja waited patiently as another man walked out of the forest. He spoke in a serious tone, "We are some of the remaining members of the Haku Bloodline. Constantly hunted, like you we've hidden ourselves from the world. However, I believe it is time we showed ourselves and our true strength. I ask you once, will you join us in our conquest?" As he spoke, the young ninja looked at him intently. Sizing the man up for a moment, the shinobi nodded. The older man walked away into the forest, the other two following him to begin their preperations.

Far away from the Water Country, in the Mountain Country, a loud noise could be heard from the mountainside. A boulder stood lodged, blocking a cave that looked like it was sealed up for years and years. Suddenly, a hand broke through the stone. Bones exploded from the hand, tearing the rocks to pieces. As a tall man walked out, his laugh hard and triumphant. "Haha, I have finally done it. I am now completely stronger than Kimimaru. It IS done." He walked on about a mile, into a camp. The others looked up at him and nodded, speaking to him. "Aye Ryuumaru, I see we came at the right time. You have finished, yes?" Ryuumaru looked at the man who spoke and smiled. "Yes my Kaguya brethren, we now have the power to destroy the home country that caused our near extinction. We now have true power." Their laughs could be heard far away, extending on throughout the night..

Far from the sounds of the laughter, in the edges of the Fire country a boy and his father walked on. A group of five men walked up to the two travelers from afar, greeting them The leader of the group spoke first, addressing the boy's father. "Sir, is it true you are the long lost illegitimate brother of the now deceased Obito Uchiha?" The man winced in pain as his illegitimacy was mentioned in front of his son, but nodded. He spoke to the leader in a serious tone, suspicious of what they wanted. "Yes, I am Kazuma Uchiha. What is it that you want?" The leader peered carefully at him. "My clan-brother. I am Taisuke Uchiha. We are some of the remaining Uchiha who escaped Konoha before the fiend Itachi Uchiha destroyed our brethren. We need you. To reclaim our name and remove the shame from the Uchiha lineage. Will you join us in our journey to revive the Uchiha clan and become known once more?" The man sighed and looked down at his son before giving his answer. "Very well. A better future for my son, I'll do whatever it takes." Nodding, the group walked off into the sunset, heading towards their future.

Far from Konoha, from the rest of the world. Not near enough to be part of the Fang or Claw Countries, not necessarily in a country itself; lay a cave. Deep within the cave, far underground and away from the rest of the world stood six shinobi. The sat down in a wide circle, drawing a circle of blood in front of them. They then opened six scrolls and began chanting. When the chanting was finished, they cut their left thumbs and smeared the Kanji for "demon" on the scrolls. In unison, they all yelled "Oni Shoukan: Yomi no Mikoto " as the jutsu took effect. The circle grew crimson red, the blood flowing to the center. A large, gaping abyss now stood there. Rising from the hole was a tall man, dressed in dark black and crimson clothes. As he rose, the abyss closed underneath him. Laughing out loud, he looked towards the men.

"Ahhhh. At long last I am free. You shall be my greatest warlords with immense power, my true followers." With a wave of his hand, the blood from the circle rose up, piercing each man through the heart. As they died, he smiled and spoke again, "Ahh. As the Lord of the Underworld your spirits serve me much better than your mortal bodies." With another wave of his hand, their spirits rose and took shape. Each demonic in appearance, chakra flowed from their bodies like water from a river. He laughed once more, recalling something from his past. "That idiot Tengu, being trapped so easily by the Uchiha brat Madara. I must deal with his seal eventually and free him. I won't fall like he did." With an evil grin, the demon blew a hole through the cave. Rising up, he yelled to the world, announcing his coming. "I am free! Beware world, now no one can save thee."

-From Shadow Dragon

A good thing would have to be that a few 'extinct' clans are back! We have Haku's clan and of course, Uchiha. However, we should not have that many people in those clans as the one that weren't wiped out. This is because it would go against the plot of Naruto, bringing the clans back. No more then 20-30 will suffice.

Any more questions may be posted in this thread or at the Staff Board. Hope you have fun!

-Kaguya Clan

Ryuumaru and his group of Kaguyas moved on. After three days they met with the rest of the remaining Kaguyas. Twelve in all, the remaining descendants of a once abundant clan. They sat together, plotting the downfall of their long former home. After about seven hours the plotting and mapping was complete. With the plan for destruction of their former home complete, the kaguya shinobi went to sleep.

Kiragakure, home to the shinobi who persecuted and destroyed their family. With the village in sight, the plan was put into motion. Three kaguyas attacked at the front gate, blowing the walls down and infiltrating the village. From the left and right, two kaguyas infiltrated at each side. From behind the village, another two ninjas infiltrated. After about ten minutes of fighting, Ryuumaru and his partner entered the village. As the fighting continued, Ryuumaru saw two of his brethren dead. With a furious snarl, Ryuumaru unleashed his assault.

As Ryuumaru's partner went off to help the others, Ryuu ran deep into the village. "Hone Bakuhatsu!" As Ryuu flexed his muscles and body, shards of his bones flew out of his skin. The bones crashed into buildings, peoples, trees.. everything. Whatever stood in the bones' path was destroyed. In a few moments, Ryuu had destroyed a good portion of the village's center and now headed for the kage building. Standing in front of the kage building, Ryuu smiled with his wicked grin."Kurgonae Honetou!" Ryuu stuck his hands into the groun, feeding his bones into it. Within moments an enormous bone tower erupted from under the kage building, spiking its way through every room and every corridor. Within minutes the entire building crumbled and was destroyed.

Satisfied with his job and believing the kage dead, Ryuumaru called his men off as they retreated. There were only ten of them left and they were injured, but Kiragakure had been completely shaken and their kage was slain. With another wicked grin, Ryuumaru and his troops went off to recuperate and plan their clan's recovery.

In the ruins of the building, a hand pushed out of the debris. Jounin ran forward, clearing debris and pulling the body out. Kiragakure's kage spit some blood out, cursing himself for letting this happen. "d**n.. Kaguya's are back? How.. and who was that man. Quick, we must alert others!" The kage closed his eyes, passing out from exhaustion and blood loss.


- Hyouton Clan (Haku’s Clan)

It was midnight with the moon full in the sky. The three haku clan members ran through the forest without making a sound, racing to their destination. The three man group contained two men and one female. One of the men seemed to be the oldest in the group and the leader, whiles the other two appeared around the same age. As they raced towards their goal, the female addressed the leader. "Lord Seyren, I'll scout ahead." The leader nodded at her, "Very well Kyoumi." He then looked over to his shoulder at the other member of the group, "Zen, initiate plan B."

Kyoumi was he first to act, with quick handseals she activated her potent Kiragakure jutsu. The kiragukure spread throughout the forest, a mist so thick it was impossible to see through. As she finished, Zen began his handseals. When he activated his jutsu, the group was able to see through the mist like it was barely even there. With the next jutsu he activated the group began to speed up, running on the mist above the ground like it was solid. Kyoumi vanished as she went to scout and the remaining two members ran alone for about ten minutes.

After the ten minutes, Kyoumi returned. "Lord Seyren, I had to execute three shinobi but the path is now clear. The place is to our southeast, about a quarter mile." Nodding, Seyren led the group on. After they got to the area described, Seyren began to activate a jutsu. After three minutes of handseals, the aura around the hakus in the group began to glow ice blue with their chakra. Across the world, the same thing happened with the other hakus in hiding but in a lesser degree. Now, the message sent, the group just waited.

After three days, a group of seventeen hakus was formed. Seyren nodded to the group, "Very well my brethren, It is time. We shall now take our revenge upon the world. The hakus that aren't here have decided not to join of conquest, or couldn't make it. They are still our brethren, without violent acts against us we shall spare them. The rest of the world shall pay!." With a roar of enthusiasm, the group rejoiced in their new lives. Preparing for war, the group remained active throughout most of the night.

At around 4 A.M. in the morning, Seyren woke his group of hakus out. They prepared for two hours and then decided to move out. They charged across the land of the whirlpool country, making their way to a small village near the area. The village wasn't famous throughout the ninja world, but it was their first step in revenge. The hakus made last minute preparations and launched their attack.

A giant, thick mist surrounded the village. Suddenly it began to rain but the unnatural mist remained standing. After a few moments, the rain began to become slippery and black.. almost like oil. Suddenly Seyren jumped through the air from a nearby tree, firing a unique Katon Jutsu and lighting the oil on fire. The emerald flame only grew strong in the water, burning down anything in its path. With the signal the other ninjas began to attack. In a flurry of handseals, water dragons, sharks, and other Suiton moves began to rampage through the area.

After fifteen minutes the village was destroyed, when suddenly one of the hakus was shot down. The suiton skill looked like it came from one of their members. The other hakus immediately went on the defensive. Cursing himself, Seyren noticed the one extra member who used the jutsu. Breaking the henge, the shinobi darted away from the group. In a few minutes, shinobi surrounded the group from all sides. Seyren cursed hismelf once more, not noticing the trap. As his men grouped together, preparing to fight for death, Seyren gave them telepathic commands. Kyoumi use Kiragakure, Zen yoru sight jutsu. The other of you shall run to the mountains, we make our stand there.

In a sudden flurry of movement the plan took place. Working perfectly, the group escaped to the mountains as the other shinobi chased after them. Only one enemy shinobi remained behind, he ran off to tell other villages of what was happening. As the group reached the mountains, Seyren told them to take cover. Nodding to him, the haku group helped their injured to safety and watched their Lord prepare to fight.

The enemy surrounded Seyren at all sides, the mountain to his back. With swift handseals, Seyren activates his first move. "Itsukaku Hakuegei" The giant one-horned whale of snow and ice crashed into the enemy, eliminating half of the unsuspecting group. Right after he unleashed his jutsu, Seyren began running up the mountain. As half of the remaining group ran after him in a pincer movement, he began his second string of handseals. "Rouga Nadare no Jutsu" The snow began to fall like an avalanche from the mountains. Suddenly, the snow transformed into ice wolves. The wolves ran down the mountain behind Seyren, killing the groups chasing him before they were destroyed.

With the members chasing him dead, Seyren began to run back down the mountain whiles activating new handseals. "Souryuu Boufuusetsu" Two black ice dragons shot from either of his arms, raging towards his enemy. The dragons took down a couple members each, mainly causing panic in the group. With the panic happening, Seyren took it to his advantage and activated his finishing jutsu. "Shinko Makyou Hyoushou Senmetsu, True Demonic Ice Mirror Annihilation." Suddenly Seyren vanished. A dome of ice mirrors surrounded the remaining group. The dome looked like a crystalline snow globe, not a space left open. Little lines could be seen in the ice, showing the seperation of the mirrors. Suddenly, Seyren darted between the mirrors, looking invisible too all eyes but the members of his Haku group. Sensatsu Suishou jutsus flew from every mirror, instantly killing all shinobi within the dome.

After the assault finished and blood stained the ice, the dome shattered. Thousands of little shards of ice flew across the area, landing harmlessly on the ground. Slowly, Seyren landed on the ground in the middle of the massacre. Smiling towards his group, he motioned for them to come out. "It is over, the haku clan is back." Cheers went on, echoing in the mountainous region. The cheers could be heard for miles on end, sending shivers through the spines of anyone who heard it.. Cold. As. Ice.


- Uchiha Clan

A group walked through the wilderness a day's travel from konoha, the sun high in the sky. As they walked, three people traveled a little ahead. A man, who looked like the leader of the group, another ordinary man, and the man's soon. The two men had distinctive red eyes, with three clefts around each pupil. As they walked, the leader figure turned to the man and nodded to him. "You heard with I heard Kazuma?" The man nodded, told his son to go back and hide within the middle of the group, then answered the leader. "Yes, we have company Taisuke."

Out of the trees and foilage from nearby, twelve shinobi attacked. They wore no visible headbands, and each wore a camouflage vest and pants. The ninjas began to work instantly, the enemy shinobi began to circle the group, unleashing their g jutsus all at once. "Katon: Goukakyuu no jutsu!" The fireballs combined, a massive orb of doom crashing down upon the group of uchihas.

Taisuke cursed as the saw the men attack. "d**n, radicals. I can't see their village, but it's obvious they're a set of bloodline haters.." Cursing as he moved, Taisuke ran to the group and stuck his hands in the air. With quick handseals, he began to absorb the katon jutsu. After the energy was absorbed, he performed another handseal and used to absorbed chakra as a boost for his jutsu, "Katon: Ryuuka no jutsu!" The fire dragon raced across the ground, taking out two of the rogue shinobi. As this happened, Kazuma was performing handseals and the rest of the group vanished into the forest, hiding.

The radicals weren't done yet. In an effort to escape the jutsu, two of their men sacrificed their lives to stop the super-powered ryuuka skill, thus saving the other ten members. The other ten members retaliated, firing their Suiton: Suiryuudans simultaneously. The ten dragons swooped down, half aiming for each of the two standing uchiha members. The dragons crashed down, leaving an immense cloud of smoke in their wake.

A voice could be heard in the smoke, "Now Kazuma!" As the smoke cleared, the two uchiha stood standing. Taisuke had a katon shield up, protecting them with the dome. In the dome, Kazuma had finished his handseal, activating his jutsu, "Mangekyou Sharingan!" A wave of fear paced over the enemy shinobi as Kazuma's eyes began to change. His clefts now had lines connecting them to the pupil, forming a cross. Between each line was the arc of a circle, making the eyes look like crosshairs. Kazuma smiled after his jutsu activated, laughing at the group before him. With a flick of his hands, he began to fight.

Instantly, two of the men dropped into a deep sleep. The other eight men began to perform handseals, but before they could finish Kazuma had knocked out two and scared the others into backing up. Only one man continued his handseals, activating his jutsu. The Karyuu Endan began to head in Kazuma's direction, power enough to damage him greatly. Kazuma vanished in a flash, Taisuke appearing where he was before. With a quick handseal, Taisuke began to absorb the jutsu.

As Taisuke worked, Kazuma appeared in front of the other guy. Looking into his eyes, Kazuma activated his jutsu. "Tsukiyomi.." After mere seconds, the man crumpled to the floor. His remaining members began to run before they were shot down by various katon jutsus. Jumping out of the trees, the other uchiha members began calling out their comrades. Taisuke finished absorbing the katon jutsu and activated his own once more, a super powered Katon: Housenka jutsu. The four huge fireballs raised forward, incinerating the four incapacitated enemies instantly.

Taisuke and Kazuma deactivated their sharingans. Taisuke caught kazuma before he fell. The group rested for ten minutes, Kazuma's son staying close to him. After the rest, Taisuke looked at Kazuma. "You know that jutsu is dangerous. Either way, we're glad you're with us." Kazuma nodded, looking down at his son. His eyes twinkled as he watched him carefully. Patting him on the head, Kazuma got up. "Might as well continue on, can't let a couple radicals keep us away." Taisuke nodded at Kazuma, smiling. The group continued on, looking like nothing ever happened..
