Gifts of the Gods


The Event

A rumour's been spreading. They say that the deities of Wind, Water and Lightning have miraculously returned to the human - filled Earth and have left behind an assortment of weaponry that only man could dream of having. But these are only rumours and each rumour originates from somewhere, so where exactly did this one peep out of? Sobokuna, Damasu. An old and withered man who continues his profession as a fortune teller for those who pay the price, yet over the recent years his age has caught up with his ability to foresee the future and thus it resulted with his reputation being tarnished. At his prime he was known as one the most accurate fortune tellers to ever walk the Earth, now though he is simply your amateur performer, constantly trying to find attention from the crowd. Damasu's most recent prediction has been one that he has predicted for days and possibly weeks now, it came to him like a true message from a God. His prediction states that three temples have been erected across the lands of the human world, each one holding a weapon that was once wielded by the God's of the elements. If a person was so foolish enough as to venture out towards these sacred temples, they could possibly gain these legendary weapons and use them for their abilities. However, due to his current reputation it's unknown whether he is telling the truth or not.

Despite the legitimacy of his vague predictions, it has been reported that strange natural occurrences have taken a rise in certain countries. Massive sand storms, the size of mountains have engulfed the Land of Wind, taking life from anything within it's path. Colossal waves have struck key parts of the Land of Water and many lives have been lost during these terrible and unpredictable storms, it's also rained across the entire country for weeks without a break now, floods have occurred throughout the country. Finally, numerous amounts of incredibly dangerous thunder storms have been reported across the Land of Lightning, many villages, homes and businesses have been set alight or destroyed by these uncontrollable storms. It would seem as if the world was falling into some sort of apocalypse, yet this is unconfirmed due to every other country having regular weather patterns. Perhaps it's true what the fortune teller has predicted and perhaps the God's of Wind, Water and Lightning have returned to Earth to bestow weapons upon man. But why are they are doing such a thing? It's plausible that the God's have finally recognised the talent that man holds as ninja, maybe they feel we are finally ready to be introduced to weapons of mass destruction.

Shinobi from all over the world have formed across the borders of the effected countries, they are waiting for the opportunity to travel within the countries so that they may have a chance of finding these godly weapons and bringing their villages greater and more powerful arsenals. Finding the temples will be of a difficult task though, the God's would never make such a task so simple. There could possibly be animals or beasts guarding the temple doors, traps and tricks could be within the temples, then there is always the fear of not escaping once you find the weapon. There may be many consequences ahead of you but all of this work may pay off. Choose your teams wisely and venture out towards these countries, don't forget to always watch your back for others who seek the weapons, even your comrades.

Additional Information

An important piece of information is that this event is open for all, you can be a Genin, Chuunin, Jounin or even a Nukenin and still be able to apply for this event. However there are village exclusive sections within this that are obviously limited to the mentioned village. That said though, nukenin are allowed to enter all three events without being forced out of the village exclusive temples.

For the sake of allowing anyone and everyone to participate, certain rules are being disregarded. One being that you do not have to specialise within Weaponry to obtain and use these weapons, the other being that you do not have to be an S - Rank or Experienced Jounin to also obtain and use these weapons. You can be a simple Genin with Ninjutsu/Genjutsu and still be able to use the Shield of Suijin.

Registration

Applying and entering for this event will be slightly different than the usual process, as usual, you will have to fill in a supplied template and post it as a reply below. However, just because you have requested to join does not mean you will be able to immediately join in with the event. Your village Kage will have the luxurious decision of who will and will not be participating within the event, so be sure to be extra nice to them! Nukenin will be able to bypass this though and will simply need to register for the event, so long as they give a logical explanation as to how they found out about the weapons as well as following all travel rules and limits. You all have till Friday the 31st of August to apply.
