NARUTO SHIPPUDEN UNIVERSE

About

The Third Hokage is dead, and Tsunade has just taken the hat. With Konoha still patching itself together, a new Chunin Exam has been called in the Hidden Leaf — older, deadlier, and watched by eyes from the shadows. You are a shinobi competing in that exam. Team 7, Team Guy, Team 10, Team 8, and the Sand's Team Baki all stand between you and the title. Train. Fight. Flirt. Follow the real story or write your own. The whole shinobi world is open to you — and the Akatsuki are already moving.

No poetic or formal prose, no purple descriptions. Write the action simply; let the characters carry the scene.]
