Prologue: Encroaching Danger
The Hidden Leaf Village, Konoha, had dispersed it's elite ANBU trackers to every border of the Fire Country. They were given specific instructions to stop anyone wearing a black robe with a red cloud pattern. These intruders were most likely from Akatsuki, an underground group of S-class criminal ninja, who had recently set their sights on Konoha. All they wanted was the Kyuubi inside Naruto, but they would wipe out the entire village without even thinking twice. One group of eight ANBU shinobi waited in ambush at the Western border with the Desert. One of the ninja thought he saw two figures approaching in the distance. They sent word via carrier pigeon back to their leader, the current Hogake, Princess Tsunade. The two men kept their approach steady as the ANBU prepared an ambush.
Minutes later all the ANBU agents lie dead and the two Akatsuki continued their purposeful walk toward Konoha.
---
By the Northern border an ANBU squad awaited another Akatsuki pair. From the looks of it, they appeared to be former Konoha ninja, Uchiha Itachi and the Monster of the Hidden Mist, Hoshikage Kisame. The ANBU began to feel dizzy and their weapons fell from their hands.
Itachi: Go to sleep. All of you.
---
The Eastern border was breached as well. Two Akatsuki members, still unknown to Konoha appeared. The area was protected by a fortified gate; a gate no one would have thought could be so easily destroyed. The gate was crushed in an instant. All the elite ANBU watched in awe as the two Akatsuki members walked in over the remains of the gate.
Hidan: Hmm. There doesn't seem to be anyone here willing to convert to my faith...
Kakuzu: The Jinchuuriki isn't here either...
Hidan: Well, let's make some sacrifices before we continue on to Konoha. I've been itching to fight since we set off on this mission.
---
Back in Konoha, the top-rank carrier birds flew in one after the other. Tsunade leaned back in her chair.
Tsunade: We've got a problem Shizune. A big one.
Shizune: Umm... well..
Tsunade: Don't just stand around! Akatsuki is invading our village from all fronts! Also... it seems Orochimaru has used this time to mobilize against us as well. Get all the information we have on these people to our top ninjas and send out Team Kakashi in the lead! This is bad, but it's also our chance to wipe the villains off the earth! Go!
Shizune ran from the room in fear of her Master's wrath, but Tsunade calmly turned her chair to look through her windows, out onto her village. "I may have to take action after all." she thought discontentedly.
---
Shizune gathered a team of eight of the most powerful shinobi in Konoha. She gave them the report on everyone's abilities, wished them luck and ordered them to disperse. The Mission Profile read:
The Villains:
Akatsuki - win by killing everyone else, unless a contract is signed with Orochimaru. Each Akatsuki pair has BTSC.
Itachi - Wiped out the entire Uchiha clan except for his little brother, who he left alive to avenge him, and left Konoha to join Akatsuki in hopes of achieving more power. Partners with Kisame.
Ability: Sharingan - Itahi will learn the ID of whoever he kills with the Sharingan.
Chakra: Fire natured.
Attribute: Humility - Itachi is extremely arrogant and will expose his name to his victim if he opts not to kill them.
Special Power: Mangekou Sharingan - Can manipulate one person's entire Night Actions and then get a successful kill on them. This will be ineffective against Hidan and other Sharingan users if they have activated the Mangekou.
Defense: One time he will not be able to be found while performing an unexpected mission from Akatsuki's Leader. Another he will use a Shadow Clone.
Kisame - The Monster of the Hidden Mist and former leader of the Seven Swords. Partners with Itachi
Ability: Samheda - Kisame's great sword will lower every one of his victims powers by 25 for their encounter, then he will attack.
Chakra: Water natured
Attribute: Calmness - Kisame has a mean temper. If he gets angry he will reveal his role.
Special Power: Sucks all of the Chakra from his opponent for the entire Night and he will attack after.
Defense: 2 Water Clones
Deidara - Thinks destruction is art and that art is beauty that only lasts for a brief moment, like an explosion. Uses high energy bombs and can control them remotely. Partners with Sasori
Ability: Explosive clay - if his kill fails it will still injure his victim enough to cancel their actions that Night.
Chakra: Earth and Wind natured.
Attribute: Speed - the faster Deidara gets, the more unlikely anyone will be able to identify him.
Special Power: Massive Explosion - will kill (with a 50% chance) everyone in an area of Deidara's choosing, unless Kakashi is there to stop it.
Defense: 2 Earth Clones
Sasori - Once a shinobi of the Hidden Sand Village. He murdered the Kazekage and now uses him as his personal weapon in the form of a Human Puppet. Partners with Deidara and often argues with him that art is beauty that lasts forever.
Ability: Puppet Master - Will Summon the Third Kazekage and be able to Break any Defense, but not interfere with Training.
Chakra: Fire and Water natured
Attribute: The Defensive Power of his puppet made from Hiroku. If the defense is low, Sasori will be exposed and reveal his Identity to his opponent.
Special Power - Human Puppet Technique - If he kills his target he will make them into his puppet and be able to utilize any power they once had while alive. Needless to say, he will know who it was that he killed.
Defense: A Trap, and a Sand Clone
Hidan - For what Hidan lacks in power, he makes up for with immortality. He will be very difficult to bring down. Partners with Kakuzu.
Ability: Immortality - nearly immortal, it will take 2 people to kill him at Night. And during the day, it will take 4 people to vote for him. Each figure increases by 1 each time he Trains. When using his Ability, Hidan also Attacks at the same probability of his Chakra Attack.
Chakra: Taijustu (weak - can only reach a maximum of 50)
Attribute: Silence - Hidan is loud mouth and will easily give out his name unless he trains his tongue.
Special Power - Sacrificial Contract - Hidan will link his body to his victim and therefore control their Night Actions. He will not go out of his way to kill them himself afterward.
Defense: Can't be found, a sacrificial person will distract his Attacker
Kakuzu - The member in charge of Akatsuki's finances. Ruthless and will kill someone the moment the get on his bad side. That is the reason he partners with Hidan - because he cannot kill the immortal jerk. Money will sway Kakuzu though.

Defense: 2 Traps
Orohimaru's Ambition:
Orochimaru and his Disciples can win by killing everyone else, with a contract with Konoha as long as they kill Naruto, or with a contract with Akatsuki as long as they kill Itachi. They all have BTSC.
Orochimaru: Was slighted from becoming Hokage by his Sensei Sarutobi. Now he is filled with vengeance and wants the Leaf Village Konoha crushed. He was also once a member of Akatsuki. They want him dead for what he knows, since that knowledge poses a threat to their organization. Orochimaru made enemies with Itachi specifically. Since Orochimaru is wise, he may find that fighting this battle on two fronts may not be in his best interests and may choose to Post an offer to one of the groups. This will be discussed later.
Ability: Snake's Poison - Will kill his victim on the next Night, after they take action. He will also have clouded their mind and make their vote for them the Next Day
Chakra: Possesses capability for all natures
Attribute: Intelligence - If he does not Attack he will pose a riddle to his opponent. The difficulty of the riddle is directly proportional to the level of the attribute. 25 being easy, 100 being very difficult.

Special Power: Can resurrect Sasuke or Kabuto, but only at half the strength they had when they last lived.
Defense: Can't be found twice while checking up on his forbidden research.

Chakra: Fire and Lightning natured
Attribute: Speed - The faster Sasuke makes himself, the less likely his opponent will have a chance to Identify him.

Defense: Will sacrifice 2 people to distract his Attackers
Konoha Shinobi - Win by killing everyone else, unless a contract is signed with Orochimaru.
Team Kakashi - Kakashi leads a Team of four including Naruto, Sakura and Sai. All four have BTSC.

Sai: A mysterious ninja pulled from a special ops group of ANBU. It is not known if he can be trusted, but for now, Team Kakashi doesn't have much choice.
Ability: Artistic Ninjustu - Whatever Sai paints he turn into reality. If he does not get a successful kill, then he will blind his opponent with the ink of his attack and halve all their powers for that Night.
Chakra: Taijutsu

Every Night there are 3 Options. You can Attack, Defend (everyone has 2 Defenses that can only be used once), or Train.
Training: Every time you train you add a 25 point increment to whichever Power you want. If someone Attacks you while training, they're success probability is their Attack percentage -50. Training is limitless until you reach 100 or max. If an Attack fails while someone is Training, they cannot be found. Also, Training takes precedence over all other Night Actions, meaning you get the benefits of the Training immediately.
Attacking: Abilities cannot be used 2 Nights in a row. Both Ability and Chakra are considered Attacks. In order to achieve your Special Power you must train to get 100 in both Ability and Attribute. Special Powers may not be used 2 Nights in a row.
If your Attack fails (whether it be Ability or Chakra based), then you have a chance to use your Attribute. I.E. Gaara has a 50% of killing with a normal Attack right now. If he fails, he only has a 25% chance of controlling himself and not Attacking a random person.
Added: For every successful Kill you get a 25 point boost in a random Power. If the random Power is already maxed out at 100, then nothing happens.
Defenses: If using a Trap, you have a 50% chance of learning your Attacker's Identity. If using a clone, you're Attacker has a 50% chance of learning your Identity. If you have 2 different kinds of Defense you may ask to use one specifically in your pm.
Nobody with BTSC can Attack the same person on the same Night as their comrade(s) with BTSC.
Every encounter will happen at 1/4 Locations randomly:
The Desert: Gaara and Sasori have automatic Defense in addition to their Attacks when fighting here
The Forest: Shikamaru has auto-Def in addition to their Attacks when fighting here
The River: Kisame has auto-Def in addition to their Attacks when fighting here
The Cliffs: Sai and Deidara have auto-Def in addition to their Attacks when fighting here
Orochimaru's Proposal: All happens in 1 Night, and will require a small Night Post so everyone knows what's about to happen possibly. Acceptance requires the Majority of the party (Konoha or Akatsuki). Once given, Itachi and Naruto get 100% Defense Breaking kill on Orochimaru. If Accepted, Orochimaru's group and the allied group won't be able to hurt each other (with 2 exceptions) at Night and this will be explicit in the Night Posts so everyone will know that the group accepted. If Declined, Orochimaru will become known to all. And if Accepted Orochimaru's Group will still have to kill one person on their new comrades' side (Itachi or Naruto).
Also, there are 3 random players (1 from each faction) who will be able to get a perfect Defense Breaking Kill on someone if they know their exact Identity. They cannot guess 2 Nights in a row.
As you can see, we know quite a bit about the threat to Konoha. That doesn't lessen the danger though. Stay on your toes and train your butts off! We're all counting on you.
