Tōrōgakure is a young ninja village born from the ashes of the Great Shinobi War,
located in the Land of Lights, and home to 10 Ancient clans and hundreds of families.
But Tōrōgakure's bloody past is catching up, and threats of war loom on the horizon.

Will Tōrōgakure shed its troubled past, surpass this period of instability and flourish? 
Or will it succumb to the festering tensions of it's warmongering neighbors and crumble? 
You, the heroes of our story, get to decide that.
