:The Massive Author's Note:

Welcome to 'Naruto: Shinobi Wars' the sequel to 'Naruto: Altered History'.

This is a major epic fic, and it picks up roughly after a two/three year Time Skip, and though there is a side-project called 'Naruto: Time Skip' it is not needed to follow the plot of Shinobi Wars.

One thing I wish for you to keep in mind, is that there is no arguing with me on how a paticular character acts. There personalities are at the root the same as in 'Altered History', but they are older and they live a different life than the rest of us. Which leads us to relationships between characters can and will be complicated at times and you may, for some reason, find some to your distaste.

Ninja deal in death, they are assassains, no matter how 'honorable', they are paid to kill. As such, they have more important things to worry about than people finding some happiness before they die. So if your going to argue on this or yell about it I say: Tough!

Now, also, the fic pretty much will ignore all of Shippuden. So read this without expecting anything (well Akatsuki is around of course) plotwise showing up. I believe that's pretty much everything so, final thing:

Included below are several lists, use them any time you are lost, but note that the jutsu list is not complete. I can and will probably create more jutsu on the fly, but I'll (usually) leave a translation at the bottom of the chapter.


:A Brief Pairings List:
Naruto/Ino
Sasuke/Sakura
Shino/Kekio-chan
Anko/Kakashi
Jiraiya/Tsunade:Ranks:
-Jonin-
Haruno Sakura
Uchiha Sasuke
Tenten
Hyuga Neji
Rock Lee
Aburame Shino

-Chunin-
Uzumaki Naruto
Yamanka Ino
Hyuga Hinata
Nara Shakamaru
Amichki Choji
Inzuaka Kiba

:Armor Terms of Interest:
Men Yoroi:
literally means "face armour" a generic term for Tenzou's forehead protector.
Dô Maru: A type of cuirass, or body armor, that has no hinges and opens under the right arm that Yugito wears.
Haidate: A type of thigh protector, which in canon Sakura's split skirt could be a type of.
Hitaigane/Hitaiganemak: Basically a Men Yoroi that covers only the forehead. Basically its the typical Ninja Forehead Protector, though I believe we use the term Hitaie.
Suneate: A type of shin protector. Anko (and the ANBU style) wear what would be closely related to a Tsubo suneate.
Kote: Bascially an armoured sleeve, which could be used to refer to the forearm protectors ANBU wear.
Sômen: A full face mask that falls under the Men Yoroi catagory. So basically it would be the techinical name for ANBU, Hunter-nin, and Root (Ne) Face Masks.
Menpô: Another type of Men Yoroi which covers the neck, lower half of the face and the nose. While made of cloth, Kakashi's face mask could probably be called this.
Hotoke Dô: A chest protector in the same fashion as the chest protector ANBU wear.

-Random Amusing Thought-
Everything that we've seen ninja wearing in some form or fashion, actually comes from Samurai Armor. So basically, we have ninja running around wearing bits and pieces of Samurai armor. Talk about funny!
