Ninpocho Chronicles is a fantasy-ish setting storyline, set in an alternate universe World of Ninjas, where the Naruto and Boruto series take place. This means that none of the canon characters exists, or existed here.
Each ninja starts from the bottom and start their training as an Academy Student. From there they develop abilities akin to that of demigods as they grow in age and experience.
Along the way they gain new friends (or enemies), take on jobs and complete contracts and missions for their respective villages where their training and skill will be tested to their limits.
The sky is the limit as the blank page you see before you can be filled with countless of adventures with your character in the game.
This is Ninpocho Chronicles.

Also, for paper trail purposes, I edited my post to reflect my correct Advanced Points. Apparently, I had 580 and not 35 like I originally wrote. Good thing I had my old training moved!Aka said:

Subject File #KIR021: は島 (Hashima Island)
We have tried a different approach and asked agent かかし (Kakashi) to infiltrate the group as a doctor and scientist. With success, he has confirmed our theories that, somehow and for some reason, SAIJIN has been altering or removing the memories of the agents they have caught. We ask that Kakashi remain to keep us updated.
Personnel File Geki:巫女 (Miko)
Case File #06226179: 波 (Nami)
Aka said:[col]
Situated on an island Northwest of what was the former Hidden Village of thpe Mist, Hashima is a small port town. In the last fifty years, the average population of the town always ranged from three to five thousand. Among them, 250 are born shinobi, only half of them undertaking formal training and even fewer enlisting for active duty. Most of the shinobi available are often found doing freelance mercenary work.
But, as of last five years, the population has increased almost four times in size, a rough estimate of 20,000. Refugees and survivors of The Great Freeze (SEE Subject File #KIREVE7??), mostly civilians, had migrated to the first settlement they could find. Any shinobi from the Hidden Village has, most likely, moved on loyalties to another village or has found business outside the greater Water Country.
Due to this sudden increase in the population density, basic commodities have started lacking and construction has increased, turning what had been a rural town into an urban sprawl. Despite the peaceful almost modest front of the place, civil unrest and lawlessness has started brewing among its people. Even as the people keep quiet or deny outright that the town is anything but a sanctuary, Hashima is now run by a syndicate posing as a Mercenary Guild.
最高人民 (Saiko Jinmin) or the SAIJIN Guild is believed to be a front for a human supremacist group. Not much has been uncovered about their goals. The agents we have sent to gather intel on SAIJIN have all disappeared, only to resurface weeks or even months later. Some have no recollection of their days after being sent to investigate and some do not even remember who they are. More worrisome, still, is that there is the rare one or two agents whose entire personalities have been rewritten, the individual believing themselves to be an entirely different person.
Personnel File Kakashi: オソ (Oso)
Agent Kakashi is a member of the 特殊戦術と偵察 (Tokushu Senjutsu to Teisatsu) TOSENTEI. Born Osoroshi Tsuru, he has asked for clemency from convicted crimes in exchange for his services. An agent well versed in interrogation and medical techniques, he has been sent to infiltrate SAIJIN. It is with his efforts that we have been able to compile evidence against the mercenary guild. With this, we might just have the director's approval to remove this threat.
Personnel Files Jikan and Kyuuden: 医者 (Isha) and 納屋 (Naya)
Recruit 時間 (Jikan) and recruit 宮殿 (Kyuuden), real names Isha Ju and Hanayaka Keiji, claim that Project Kishu is focused on creating ultimate mass killing machines. There have been four rumoured successes but they only know of the identity of two.
One is a woman named Mizushima Nanami. They claim that the leader of the Guild has called her 疫病 (Ekibyo)... pestilence. A familiar name and a local of Hashima Island, respected as a doctor by civilians and shinobi alike. She runs a clinic downtown and we have sent agent Kakashi and one of our Yamanaka specialists in order to track this lead.
The other known entity is a more worrisome individual. In fact, the two new recruits had leashed them along upon defection, presumably in an act to save it. A creature named Aka, codename 死 (Shi). If our intel serves correct, we have found out what happened to the missing Shoukyou twin prodigies upon their disappearance. To let the public see them and possibly recognize them has political ramifications. Not to mention the repercussions that may come if any of their clan catch wind of this is terrifying. Therefore, Aka has been sent with Jikan and Kyuuden to our ground zero facility deep in Kirigakure to keep them there.
It is apparent that the two know of agent Kakashi's identity and that of Aka's.
Recruit 劇 (Geki), although not a new face, has joined TOSENTEI. Shoukyou Tomiko had caught wind of the twins' location. Not surprising, considering he is a capable information broker, one that we have approached several times in the past. Having him as an official member will certainly prove beneficial.
Despite not having been a member of SAIJIN like Jikan and Kyuuden, he seems to know a lot more than he lets on. Geki states that, even before their capture, Aka has demonstrated abilities that project Kishu is trying to emulate. Dark Sages. Some of the younger personnel would even call them Death Eaters. Whatever the name, those with these dark gifts have an unnatural connection to the dead. This does not bode well if SAIJIN is, indeed, trying to make an army.
|Project File #0008: 騎 (Ki?)
Case File #06226173: 赤 (Aka)
「 The second character is smudged, making it unreadable.」Project Ki? seems to be an initiative to create an army for SAIJIN. Apparently, most of the mind alterations revolve around this project. If this is true, then it brings the troubling possibility that the agents and other victims we have recovered are sleeper agents. Agent Kakashi cannot reveal much more than this at the present, not without investigating further. However, two individuals (SEE NEW Personnel Files Jikan and Kyuuden) who have defected from the guild may provide further insight.
Project File #0004: 洗脳 (Sen'no)
Recruit Kyuuden informs us of Project Sen'no. Responsible in keeping its members in line and in taming and restructuring any caught threat, Sen'no is a thought reform system. Kyuuden was a consultant for the project, aiding in the reprogramming of individuals when they are considered a liability and helped restructure their minds in order to let them have new identities without endangering the guild. Unfortunately, as a consultant, he had only been involved in the theoretical side of the project. He does not have formal insight on how they have put Sen'no into practice. However, he has put forward the theory that SAIJIN utilizes brain surgery, shinobi medical techniques and Yamanaka's mental powers as he has met practitioners of such skill while working for them. He also cannot confirm or deny that, in conjunction with Project Kishu, that Project Sen'no is a sleeper agent scheme.
Project File #0008: 騎手 (Kishu)
Project Kishu was an initiative to create an army for SAIJIN. Was. Apparently, it was shut down just before Jikan and Kyuuden defected. As it was linked to Project Sen'no, it has been noted that one of the known successful end products, Case File Nami, does not recall her time of abduction. However, we cannot assume anything. The other known entity, Case File Aka's mental state is far beyond gone to draw any similarities.
Case Files #03080007 and #03080008: らい (Rai) and 手 (Te)
Jikan and Kyuuden bring to light the existence of Rai and Te (SEE Case Files #03080007 and #03080008). Rai and Te are anomalies, abominations, a reanimated corpse and limb that confirms Geki's prior knowledge of the Shoukyou twins' Dark Sage capabilities. But the two recruits have bargained protective custody of these two creatures, claiming they may help in reclaiming any sanity in Aka. The SAIJIN defects claim that they were studying notes on a Dark Sage in the company's custody and that the Mercenary Guild were being asked to try and recreate certain aspects that may allow a person natural connection to the death and the inbetweens. The identity of the Dark Sage blueprint's source was unknown to them prior to the shutdown of Kishu.
However, what perturbs me are the known codenames given to these two. Ekiboy and Shi, Pestilence and Death. Agent Kakashi notes that those names, along with the fact that there is rumoured to be four successful cases before the project was stopped, alludes to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from the Christian religion. Noteworthy, as it is a minor and rarely practiced religion compared to Shintoism and Buddism among the theist communities of Water Country. This might help narrow down who is truly involved with SAIJIN.
Mizushima Nanami
Gender: Female
Age: 30
Eye Colour: Brown
Hair Colour: Brown
Height: 5'3" (1.63 m)
Weight: 133 lbs (60 kg)
Mizushima Nanami had gone missing a month prior. Although not the first to go missing from Hashima, her disappearance was well noted due to her reputation as one of the town's few medical shinobi.
She was the first shinobi in a civilian family ever since her great grandfather, the late Commander Nara Hiraku who had retired to the island after rendering his years of service to Kirigakure. Before her turning of age, she was the ward of her uncle Nara Ryouichi. Despite her capability to utilize chakra, she enrolled in a civilian school and did not pursue any formal training in the shinobi arts beyond self defence. Finishing her civilian studies, she had gone on to be a practicing physician and a pharmacy assistant. But Ryouichi, having a heart condition, could not continue working to support himself and his niece. Nanami was forced to train under one of the town's veteran shinobi and pursue further work as a mercenary.
Despite her lack of shinobi training in her formative years, Nanami shows great talent in the arts. She is often lauded as a quick learner, almost a prodigy. But her lack of ambition in the field held her back. The girl only wanted to learn what was necessary for the less active mercenary jobs such as courier work and espionage. She's shown a great knack for medical techniques as well, which only helped her later on as she moved on to put up her own clinic for shinobi and civilian alike. She is also a natural at her clan's shadow techniques and shows the legendary sharp wit and mind that the Nara were well known for.
Unlike most mercenaries, she does not go through the SAIJIN's guild official channels and is one of the rare freelancers in the town. Therefore, anyone who wished to hire her for her skills must visit her at her clinic. She is strict with her contract as well, laying out actual paperwork with terms and agreements for her clients. Despite all the trouble it takes to hire her, it seems she has loyal clients who wishes to work with her and her alone due to her trustworthy nature.
Before the discovery of Case File Aka, we did not thoroughly investigate Doctor Mizushima as her background and ethics proved clean. We have, however, offered her to join as a member once which she rejected, five years prior. However, we have now sent agent Kakashi and one of our Yamanaka recruits to see if she remains harmless after her resurfacing.
Agent Kakashi shows interest in how the woman holds herself. Despite being a fairly capable shinobi, the woman acts and even seems like an everyday civilian unless one is informed beforehand. Even in speech and mannerism, she isn't like your typical shinobi. She rejects any claims of her being anything but average as well, claiming that "[She] was just a small town doctor, helping out her fellow man". This was not pushed as it was not relevant to the case. Care must be taken, of course, if she shows further sign of persecution complex.
When her patients are brought up, her demeanour shifts greatly into that of a caring and affable individual. It seems she is passionate about her line of work and those she works with. Hearsay is that, when her clinic was still new, a would be client threatened the safety of those in the clinic if Nanami did not work for her. The client left Hashima after a private conversation with the doctor and never returned again.
Broaching the topic of her disappearance, the doctor is closed off and silent about it. Several repeated visits however and a clearance from the local lawful enforcement manages to force her hand. She claims that a loyal client had hired her, right before her disappearance, for a delivery mission. It was a simple mission on paper except that it took her to another country altogether. Then, she added, upon further interrogation, that the client had asked her memory of the mission be removed for confidentiality purposes. She could offer no more than that and we countered it by asking her if she'd let our Yamanaka recruit check for tampering. Our Yamanaka had detected no further damage to her mind, beyond the gap in memory.
We would have kept up contact, insisting on daily sessions with our recruit to make doubly sure that nothing else had been put in her mind. For the safety of her patients and fellow townsmen, we assured her. And she had acquiesced. Further reports however, will have to wait, as agents Kakashi and Geki must now tail her in another mission to the land of Wind.[/col][/fontface]
