All have been laid to rest, all expect memories. Throughout the years, shinobi - men and women - have learned how to preserve the memories of thousand of great shinobi that have lived, and then have passed. Though, they never managed to gain the memories of Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke. These three ninjas are wildly known as the Three Heroes of the world. They are the mirror images of their legendary Sannin teachers, and touched everyone's life in some sort of way. Their memory though has been scattered across the world, and the pieces of their chakra find themselves locked away in certain men and women, wildly known as the Kages of today. They are the shadows and guardians of today's new era, and they seem to wait for something to happen.
They await for Madara Uchiha to return, the Fourth Shinobi War had been created by none ever than Obito Uchiha, Kakashi's old friend whom he thought had died. In this war, numerous men and women died trying to protect all that they thought was right and true, in the end - Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke had perished by giving up their lives to kill Madara and Obito Uchiha. Their chakra awoken a sleeping God, whom took the combined power of the ten bijuu, kurama and the eight tailed bijuu's life source and basically recreated life anew. These memories however, are gone, and cannot be recreated or found in any memory book, or even in text. This story is being told through the combined chakra fragments of the Legendary Heroes that each Kage takes upon their death and inserts into a crystal fragment.
However, life as everyone now knows, is finally changing. Kazengakure and Hyozangakure had finally came to an agreement of forming a grand alliance between their villages, rumored that they were related by distant cousins, this alliance would be greater than any had ever seen. The day of the treaty being signed, and thus the festival on the island of Heiwa, a new danger had awaken that day. The Sage of Six Paths was unable to keep a dark entity in slumber from the grave and beyond; a new five tailed bijuu - the Hydra - had awoken. In a fit of rage and unknown, the Hydra destroyed half of the festival grounds, killing more than five thousand civilians and shinobi alike. The Bijuu set it's eyes on the building where the witnessing six kages were located, and destroyed the entire building.
Three months had passed, and Sannins of each village filled the spots of the Kages, as many hoped that one day there would be news that someone had survived the attack. Only the Hyozangakure's kage had returned, apparently unaware of what happened. Because of this, many of the villages have returned hostile towards each other, many blaming Hyozengakure for the attack that killed each of the Kage's. Slowly, men and women of each village are elected to fill the Kage spots of each of the village, alliances are being forged and mended. But can anyone form a great alliance to take down Hydria, and once again, scatter all of the tailed beasts across the world?

Kekkei Genkai:
Yamata is known as the God of Evil. However, this is an inaccurate definition of power, as it is a label brought on either by ignorance, or simplicity. The two are of the same sin. Yamata actually possesses eight symbols to its name, one for every unique appendage it possesses. Yamata-no-Orochi, meaning "Eight-Branched Giant Snake", possesses eight heads. Eight heads with eight different consciousness all working towards one goal. However, before too far is gotten into the description of the his appearance, it should be stated clearly that the main ability of Yamata, the ability it passes to it's followers, is command over the spiritual world. Yamata stakes its claim of power in the world beyond the physical realm, acting as the lord to death, and the despair that comes with it.
Eight Heads | Eight Symbols
The eight heads of Yamaya are each known to possess a symbol of corrupt power has command over. The culmination of these eight symbols creates a figure of pure chaos, as Yamaya does not possess a symbol of good. Thusly,followers of Yamaya are plagued by death, for it is an inescapable consequences of accessing this power. What this has meant is a cursed life for the followers. Forever they are cursed to walk the world alone, unable to flee from the power stored within their heart. This, combined with the notable ability to corrupt, has lead to a form of psychosis. Dementia is known as a persistent disorder of mental processes caused by brain injury and marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and impaired reasoning. Each of these are reflected in some manor from varies uses of this power. Furthermore, each of the symbols bare with them the risk of downsides for accessing the powers within. The eight symbols are those of Soul, Ghost, Evil, Devil, Monstrous, Kill, Afterlife, and Death.
Till now, the full extent of Yamata's power could not be realized. Only meager portions of strength have been accessed, even in Yama's ascent to the rank of Chuunin. This has been because he has constantly fought his religion, an internal battle that was literally never ending. However, now is different. After the assimilation of the Yamata's power, which shifted the balance of control. However, the downsides persisted, and as a greater powers of Yamata were unleashed, aspects of Yama's former life were sacrificed. Relating to the idea that dementia, the more power that is released, the more that is forgotten from Yama.
[ |Soul| ] [ |Genin| ][ |Chuunin| ][ |Jounin| ][ |S-rank| ]
The soul is a representation of life, for without it there could be no life, nor any death. Every individual can be broken down into three entities. The first is the mind. This is the center of intelligence, vexed by emotion. It is the embodiment of the individual's capacity to learn. The second is the body. As we are all beings of the physical world, we would be nothing without a vessel through which to live. The body is the power, though its strength can be tarnished by mild dissipation, and thus its development must be watched with a weathered eye. The body is the embodiment of the individual's capacity to grow. The third, and final, facet of the individual is the soul. No being that possesses consciousness, even as meager of a form as that of an animal, can live without a soul. Right and wrong; good and evil. These concepts are defined by the soul. However, the soul is unique. It is different from the former two facets. While the mind and body are no doubt on equal standing, the soul is the entity that continues on for eternity. The mind deteriorates, and eventually stops. The body weakens, and eventually returns to the ashes it was risen from. However, the soul lingers on. It resides within the spiritual world, a realm that overlaps the environment around us, and though the spirit may fade over time, it is never truly gone in entirety.
Most of the shinobi realm learn only to manipulate spiritual energy in the form of chakra, for they only have access to the entity when it is combined with their physical energy to be able to create the lifeblood that flows through the veins of the chakra circulatory system. However, Yamaya has domain over the spiritual realm, and with it he is able to unleash tremendous power that is unforeseen within the shinobi arts. This power deals with the release and manipulation of the soul, both of the user and of other living beings. Followers are granted access to this power, and now that the two, god and human, have melded, this power can be used to it's fullest extent. Though Yama has been able to forcefully command the aspects of the spiritual realm through an art he has labeled Konjutsu, Soul Techniques, doing so before permitted for the consciousness of Yamata to consume his mind. Now that the conscious of the Orochi is no longer, this downside no longer applies. Instead, the negative effects for implementing these techniques has become as common place as those that would be expected from nature manipulation from the release and molding of elemental chakra. While this in no way negates the need for downsides in the techniques, the use of Konjutsu has largely replaced Yama's former chakra nature, and so comparatively he would suffer the same level of abuse as a typical shinobi would experience from the manipulation of some element.
Hitodama: This is a principal of Konjutsu that relates most to a true element of Yama's past, though it does not qualify as such. While Konjutsu can take many forms, as a soul is rather malleable under the command of Yamata, the Hitodama is a typical form of spiritual manipulation. It is believed in ancient Japan that the soul of an individual can be portrayed through a ghostly blue flame. For the recent dead, this flame appears a a floating fireball that carries the spirit into the afterlife, allowing passage into the spiritual realm. Thusly, many techniques that fall within the symbol of Soul can take on the appearance of this ghostly blue flame, which does burn, but is produced not through Katon natured chakra, but from the dark chakra of Yamata.
[ |Ghost| ] [ |Genin| ][ |Chuunin| ][ |Jounin| ][ |S-rank| ]
As covered above, the power of Yamata has the potential to mold the soul much like a commonplace shinobi can mold the element their chakra nature. Yama has already had a great deal of experience in the manipulation of the soul and spirits, and the extent that he can reach with these abilities has increased since his reawakening. Formerly, the second symbol of Yamata, Ghost, had been defined under the same title of Konjutsu that he had afforded to the first symbol, as both deal with the manipulation of a spiritual entity. However, now that a greater deal of power is unleashed, a definition between the two symbols has been established, though they still work from the same principal, with the same downsides outlined above. However, Yama now labels this second art as Reijutsu, Ghost Techniques. The key difference between these first two facets of power is that while Konjutsu deals with the manipulation of Yama's own soul and the souls of the living, Reijutsu focuses upon the molding of the souls from the wandering dead. As explained previously, the soul is an entity that continues one in some form after the body has pasted from the realm of the living. Though ghosts typically go unnoticed by those that are still a part of the physical realm, Yama can interact with them, and mold them much like elemental manipulation is performed.
[ |Evil| ] [ |Chuunin| ][ |Jounin| ][ |S-rank| ]
Evil is the third symbol of Yamata, and still dwells heavily within the realm of the metaphysical. However, instead of dealing with souls or ghosts, this symbol deals directly with the chakra of Yamata, as evil is the symbol that is most commonly associated with Yamata. This symbol unlocks what is known as Akujutsu, Evil Techniques, which grant the user access to even greater stores of chakra that then what is normally accessed. Through his transmutation, all of Yama's chakra has been replaced with that of Yamata, meaning that the chakra that is nominally within his system is dark chakra. This is the reason why spiritual manipulation has replaced his former elemental molding capabilities. Thus, evil techniques deal with releasing chakra still stored within the seal upon Yama's heart. This is a train that he has already been able to perform before the reawakening. Through these techniques he can release a chaotic charge of chakra in order to simulate such a move as Strong Arm, or even to use chakra to enhance his speed, healing rate, or systems of the body. However, these techniques put a strain on Yama's heart through the rush of chakra that surges out of it. Thus, only a limited amount can be performed and maintained, and with each use he moves closer to cardiac arrest. While possesses the capacity to kill him through heart failure, overuse of these techniques will at least result in him fainting from the battlefield.
[ |Devil| ] [ |Jounin| ][ |S-rank| ]
Devil is the fourth symbol of power possessed by Yamata. It, combined with the head that follows it, represent the two heads that are closest to the actual body of Yamata, and thusly are the two most physical bound of the heads. Devil and Monstrous both represent the body of Yamata, and thusly their powers derive from physical forces, rather then from the spiritual energy around us, or the souls within us. This symbol results in Ijinjutsu, Devil Techniques, which relate most to the healing abilities. While the natural healing abilities deal with the reformation of cells to mend damaged areas of the body, the release of the devil art results in reconstruction of genetic material on a cellular level. Essentially, it permits for the host to morph his body, reconstructing it into numerous forms. In essence, this results in the ability to shape shift. While at its most basic level, this shifting could result in a technique allotting for a more advanced form of transformation then what is taught at the academy level, as it would be true mutations and not just the appearance of a new form, it goes far beyond that. The user can shift their body to take on aspects of a more demonic form, usually resulting in areas coated in black scales, which resembles the old body of the Orochi snake. Claws, blades, even defensive armor can be formed from the modification of the body. While this creates tremendous potential, the downsides to devil techniques usually amounts to physical harm. If left unchecked, the ability to skew out of control, resulting in permanent damage of the host's molecular structure. Furthermore, physical pain or fatigue is usually endured with each transformation. This limits the amount of time these techniques can be use, and endangers the body of follower.
[ |Monstrous| ] [ |Chuunin| ][ |Jounin| ][ |S-rank| ]
As stated above, both the fourth and the fifths head of Yamata relate highly to the concept of the body, as they are the closest heads to the main physical form of Yamata. However, whereas the devil dealt with the self, that which is monstrous deals with the exterior. Yajuujutsu, Monstrous Techniques, take on a form closely related to the summoning jutsu. However, instead of summoning a mere species, followers are permitted summons of lesser demons. Essentially, the user is able to summon monsters, calling them forth from the spiritual realm. The monsters can take many forms, though they do not possess elemental natures. Nature manipulation is a thing of man, not monsters. Instead, their weapons are their body. Some are endowed with lesser forms of spiritual manipulation, but most are useful only for their physical prowess, or demonic weaponry. The downsides to Yajuujutsu is very similar to those of the devil art. While normal summoning does not result in a downside other then chakra cost, creatures summon from Yajuujutsu not only result in a cost of chakra, but also of physical strength. Thusly, while these demons are out on the field, the user will suffer a multitude of hardships brought on through physical fatigue. More then just fatigue can result from the use of these summons. Each summon possesses a sacrifice aspect. Thus, whilst they are out on the field, something is lost. What is temporarily lost can be anything from strength to eyesight, thus limiting what can be done with each one.
[ |Kill| ] [ |Jounin| ][ |S-rank| ]
The symbol of Kill is the sixth emblem of power possessed by Yamata. This symbol is reflected largely by the life of the shinobi, for such a life is a life of war, and with war there is murder in its purest form. To kill is to leave behind a mark, one that cannot be erased. Grief is caused by this mark, as is regret. Everyone that has ever taken another life has this mark branded onto their soul. This permits for, oddly enough, Ryuujutsu, or Kill Techniques. Essentially this is nothing more then an advanced form of the Transformation Technique. Using the same genetic reconstruction ability expressed in the Devil Techniques, followers are capable of shifting their form into those of others, particularly those that they haave killed. Followrs will be capable of displaying the same strengths and weaknesses of the honored dead, though to implement this ability as anything more then a subtle transformation prevents the use of any other symbol of Yamata. The downside for this form of transformation is that it evokes insanity in the form of grief. One cannot use this technique without absorbing the sorrow they have caused through their life, memories that are typically painful to experience. If left unchecked transformations can become uncontrollable or unpredictable and so it is unsafe to remain within a different form for weeks at a time.
[ |Afterlife| ] [ |Jounin| ][ |S-rank| ]
The seventh symbol of Yamata. The spiritual world is the distention for all souls that part from their physical body. This is one of the strongest symbols of Yamata as it is in essence the kingdom of Yamata. However, this symbol does not offer much to followes other then the ability to exist within the spiritual realm. While this can be effective, it gives really no strength to the user. These Goshoujutsu, Afterlife Techniques, merely give the user advanced resistance to the spiritual realm. The downside to them is the chill. The spiritual plane possesses no heat, and for that matter, no cold. Neither are in existence there. However, the body can never be fully removed from the need for both, and while there is no cold there, once removed from heat, the body will become cold upon return to the physical realm, enough that extended time within the spiritual realm can permanently damage the body. An additional offering of this ability is to sift through the information of the spiritual world.
[ |Death| ] [ |S-rank| ]
Death is the final symbol of Yamata, the epitome of it's power. This symbol entails command over the powers given by Yamata, the ability of a last resort to kill all and take death. After this symbol is used, the follower's soul is offered to Yamata along with those who he wishes to take along with him.
Clan Element: -
Clan History/Tradition:
"I give to You, my life, oh Lord..."
The Yamata faith is for the devote of heart. Yamata is a strict lord, and those that take up his name and do not fulfill their obligation to the religious dogma of the faith will suffer in the next world far greater then anyone else, including those made into sacrifices to Yamata. However, as with any soul claimed and punished by Yamata, the suffering of those that defile the faith of Yamata, either by condemning the Lord as a practitioner of the faith or simply as a blasphemer, will be made to suffer by the followers of Yamata before they are permitted to receive their eternal damnation at the hands of Yamata. Anyone who claims, or has at one time claimed, to follow the faith of Yamata and does not uphold the dogma of the faith denies their right to life when faced against a true follower of Yamata.
The Laws of Sacrilege:
--To violate the sacred dogma of the Yamata faith is to invoke death upon yourself at the wrath of the true followers of Yamata.
--The dogma must never be shortened or forgotten. To claim the lives of those you deem unfit to life, and the neglect of the dogma constitute sacrilege.
--Taking the name of Yamata in vain is not sacrilege for His followers, though it is looked down upon for the name of Yamata to be disgraced by hose not dedicated to Yamata.
"...I give to You, their death!"
The principal precept of the Yamata faith is total carnage. While others must find a reason to kill, for the followers of Yamata, killing is the reason. No battle can be complete unless it ends with the dead body of human, and no battle can be finished without first killing the other. Before a battle may commence, any follower of Yamata must offer silent prayers to Yamata, requesting for a 'good kill' or simply 'protection in battle'. In the cases where the follower knows that a kill cannot be obtained for whatever reason, primarily if the opponent must be captured alive, this prayer can be offered to request luck on the battlefield with forgiveness being asked for afterwards. While the prayers before a battle does not take long, no more then a minute in length, it is absolutely essential to the dogma of the Yamata faith. So important is the prayers before a battle that a follower of Yamata cannot even permit an alley to commence a fight until the prayer is offered. Once these silent prayers are offered and a battle commences, all efforts must be made to kill the opponent unless if a kill is not permitted. In the cases where a kill cannot be obtained, it is better to not commence in battle, for it the victory is obtained without killing an opponent, it will be considered a sin in the eyes of Yamata and penance must be paid. In the ways of their life or another life must be spared, may it be human or animal.
--The Lord be With You: Before most any fight may commence a prayer must be offered to Yamata in order to obtain a good kill and protection in battle. These prayers are essential in almost all cases, and thusly they must be strictly upheld. In cases where the follower of Yamata is matched against multiple opponents, a single prayer can be offered for the group in general, promising the Lord a hearty slaughter of multiple people. However, if a new comer joins the fight, or the slaughter of the group is preparation for getting to the true target, an additional prayer must be offered to Yamata. However, it is not strictly dictated how these prayers are to be performed, through in general they last no more then a minute. As with most things, there are a few exception to the prayers before a battle. The first, and main, exception is in the cases where the followers of Yamata are attacked by surprise. In the cases where the follower of Yamata is thrown into a fight through a direct ambush then no prayers are required to commence the battle, for Yamata shall always protect his followers when wrongfully attacked by the infidels that disgrace His name and his servants. Furthermore, in accordance with vengeance, a recognizable virtue of the religion, Yamata expects His followers to slaughter those infidels that attack them unexpectedly. The only other real exception to the prayers before a battle is when the kill that would constitutes a 'sin'. While killing is not considered a sin, but rather a practice, of the Yamata faith, certain kills still maintain their sinful nature. This primarily concerns with the slaughter of other religions figures. To slaughter a monk is to go against a dedicated servant of a deity. Even in the cases where the monk is not a servant of Yamata, the Evil God recognizes the purpose of the monk, and thusly will not offer protection to His followers when fighting a monk, though he will never deny a sacrifice of such a holy man. Merely asking for protection, however, against a holy man is considered a sign of weakness and insult to the dogma of the Yamata faith, for any follower of Yamata should be strong enough to kill the blasphemer of the Lord that is in service to another deity.
--Kill Without Remorse: The aim of any battle that is begun should always be to kill in the form of a slaughterous murder, the soul of any victim being condemned to suffer for eternity at the hands of Yamata. Those that follower the Yamata faith are the Lord's servants in this world, and any soul made to suffer by Yamata must begin its torment in the physical world. Carnage is your principal precept, and slow and painful is your scripture. Kills taken in the name of Yamata are of the most brutal and bloody variety. Before a victim can be permitted to die, he must be taught agony and suffering so as to become accustomed to the fate he will experience for all of time under the watch of Yamata. Just as Yamata punishes those in the next world, the followers of Yamata bring about punishment in this world, beginning the divine judgement of the living which will carry over onto their death. Yamata's divine judgement awaits all heathens that are ignorant of the pain of others, and only those that have learned the ways of Yamata can know the pain of others. Thusly, a follower of Yamata will spare none, for none deserve to be spared.
--Fear the Lord: The worst sin that a follower of Yamata can perform is to leave an opponent alive, or half-dead. This is a sin for the fact that it denies the Lord Yamata the soul of a victim. However, Yamata is not without forgiveness to his followers.
The Purpose
"...through Yamata they shall find destruction."
The goal of the followers of Yamata is to raise chaos in the name of their Lord so as to bring about a new age onto this world. Some may say that the purpose of the Yamata faith is to obtain 'world domination'. However, the goal is not to dominate the world, but to bring about the destruction of the world and the creation of a new world. THe followers of Yamata believe that through their work they are bringing about the second coming of Yamata, at which time all followers of the dogma of the faith, both alive and dead, will be granted everlasting life, while all others will be casted into eternal damnation. Those that have been true to Yamata will know nothing but bliss at this time of rapture, and to bring about this new age, all other must be taught to suffer.
Joining the Faith
Principally there are two ways to join the faith of Yamata and take up the name of the Lord. The first are the followers taught the religion through their life, a life that is usually spent in full devotion to the dogma of Yamata. In the current age, these followers tend to be raised within the monasteries of the Yamata faith, which are few in number, but can be found. These followers, either raised by the monks of the religion, or brought into the faith by taking refuge in the Yamata temples, are taught the ritualistic dogma of the faith by the scriptures of the temples, and know well the ways of the Yamata faith. The temples of the faith are usually very discrete, off in the outskirts of nearly all of the major shinobi nations, through unrecognizable by those that do not know of their existence since the religion generally attracts negative attention, and also since the religion itself is very old, and many of the places of Yamata worship where created before modern day buildings were constructed. The second means of joining the Yamata faith is through later life joining by the conversion to the Yamata religion. The followers of Yamata regularly look into the qualities that would make for a good follower of Yamata, and as such are sometimes the solicitors of converting others to the faith. Either way, once you are inducted into the faith and go about the ritual of initiation, you are expected to carry out the dogma of the faith strictly, for Yamata is a strict lord. The ritual of initiation is simple, for once you have learned purpose the the faith and are willing to dedicate your life to Yamata, you need only offer prayer to the lord while marking in your own blood the symbol of Yamata upon your forehead. From that point on, you must follow the dogma of the faith, or be slaughtered due to your sacrilege.
