Takeo and Ryo! A new set of rivals!


Naruto Eledia Setting:

The story takes place approximately 100 years after Naruto's death.
During the time of Naruto's leadership as a Hokage, the neighboring nations became allies, and the time of peace was established.

Recently the countries devised a new system called the International Ninja Squad (INS) system to strengthen their alliances.
An INS is a team of ninjas from 5 different Hidden Villages.
Only the elites among elites are able to become part of an INS.

A series of exams are given to choose the ones that are most worthy of the status.
The exam is held every 4 years, and for every exam, 2 INS's are created, 5 members in each.
Participation is voluntary, but open only for Jounins (high level ninjas).

The system quickly became popular amongst the youth. Many wanted to achieve that status and be recognized by the world.
But becoming an INS wasn't just fun and games.
They were given the most deadly missions, and required sacrifices such as leaving their original 3-person ninja teams back at their home village, and was out on important missions most of the time, so they couldn't visit their homes often. This discouraged many older people from participating, who already had established families. Plus the INS's were the icons that the ninja society looked up to. They were responsible for keeping up their images, and not be a disgrace to their own villages.

ELEDIA are a set of "legendary" weapons in the story.
