For over 200 years, after Naruto Uzumaki's death, the five, great nations have been at peace. But even as the great nations continue to prosper and accumulate strength, the minor nations have watched in horror as their own power dwindles. There are fears, in some nations, that this may even lead to a new series of wars. In the midst of all this chaos, the Akatsuki, as well as foes unseen, wait to carry out their nefarious schemes. Can the world remain at peace? Or will it be forced to shatter?
