Uzushio
Village Map
Mission Standards and Pay:
All pay is what the client pays! The pay is split with one half being given to Uzushio, and the other half split between the shinobi that took the mission. No matter the number of shinobi involved, the total amount paid by the client will not change.
D-Ranks
Intended for newer genin, but can be given to anyone. These missions are anything that involves building or maintenance of the village. These missions include housing construction, babysitting, and making paper.
Pay for these missions is between 4,000 and 40,000 Ryo.
C-Ranks
These are for genin and chunin. This rank of mission is a step up from the around-the-village work that so many of the shinobi are doing to build, and this category involves things such as brokering trades for goods, escorting caravans over the water to the village, and guard duty.
Pay for these missions is between 30,000 and 100,000 Ryo.
B-Ranks
These are for chunin and jounin. It's at this level that missions not directly related to the rebuilding of the village come into play. Some examples are teaching sealwork, information gathering, and hunting for bounties.
Pay for these missions is between 90,000 and 300,000 Ryo.
A-Rank
These are devoted almost exclusively to jounin. Here is where the volatile missions start to happen, given the tenuous nature of the village. Missions of this level are things like treaties, long term trade agreements, and approaching countries to find out if any lost clansmen are in residence.
Pay for these missions is between 200,000 and 1,000,000 Ryo.
S-Rank
These missions are only for the most trusted higher ups in the village, and often involve extremely delicate matters. Things in this category are high-profile assassinations, deciphering old Uzumaki seal texts, and alliance marriages. (This last example would require contacting a mod to discuss details.)
Pay for these missions is 1,000,000 Ryo and beyond.
Entrance to Academy
Children may start classes no earlier than six years of age, though it is preferred that they don't begin later than ten, exceptions can be made if the student shows promise. Adults seeking to learn are taught separately, and all students are sorted by enrollment time, not age.
Academy Graduation
While the Academy is still new and only has enough students to barely fill two classrooms, their plan is to keep the ages between ten and twelve. Exceptions may be made for children no younger than eight with consent from the parents and permission from the village leadership. The final test involves proving a mastery of simple sealwork or swordplay. Starting AGS 1, all final tests are administered on the 31st of March and October. Any and all graduates are sorted into teams on the following day.
Promotion from Genin to Chunin
Though peace is still solid, Chunin exams are held biyearly, in January and June. They cycle through the five major powers. Uzushio sent their first team since the first village was destroyed for the exams in June of AGS 1.
All promotions among new arrivals have been determined by skill and being appointed thus far.
Promotion from Chunin to Jounin
As the chunin promotions, there is no established method yet come to in Uzushio, but the plans are to have the chunin still in the village going out to sea and building a bridge through some skill back from one of the outlying villages. This can be done through seals, water jutsu, or any other number of ways, and is mostly a test to see exactly how skilled the potentials are.
Thus far all promotions have been by appointment of the village leader.
ANBU
Despite the current peace, Kushina insisted to the other two council members that reinstating and maintaining an ANBU squad was important. It’s mostly made up of Jounin related to the Uzumaki clan through blood or marriage that returned to the village, but there are several with no apparent connection to the clan. All initiates are required to undergo two years of training with Konoha ANBU originally loaned by the Yondaime Hokage and mastering higher level seals.
On induction, all ANBU are given a uniform with armor, short sword, and animal mask. The animal mask has the village’s symbol, the spiral, painted red in different sizes and places (cheek, forehead, full face, etc.). As with Konoha’s ANBU, association with it is kept quiet. Their missions and related matters are top secret. If any do not wish to serve after Kushina steps down (if she ever manages to, that is), they are welcome to retire.
Village Views:
Bijuu and Jinchuuriki
Due to the origins of the villagers, the views are very far flung. However, the sense that Jinchuuriki are works of sealing art is slowly becoming a thing in this village, even though the Bijuu are still widely regarded with fear.
Bloodlines
Because of their close relation to Konoha, most of the villagers have a positive or neutral view toward those with bloodlines. Some returning from other villages, however, are still prone to poor reactions.
Civilians
Since more than half the population were raised as civilians, the overall theme in the village is that a civilian is about as good as they can make themselves. Thus, there is a faction who believes more civilians need to become shinobi to revive their village, just as there is a faction who sees their import as they are.
Outsiders
Almost everyone in this village is technically an outsider now. Though they're still wary, as a group, of anyone who shows up who doesn't share the Uzumaki crimson until their reason for having come to the village is clear.
Village Bloodlines/Clans:
Uzumaki: A clan known for their longevity, extensive chakra reserves, and unique ways of using it raw.
Any other clans have been lost in the scattering of this village.
Historical Summary:
Please note all Village Summaries will be written from the view of a native of the village.
Once, Uzushiogakure was a very prosperous place where the most fearsome seal masters in all the nations were known to reside, protected by the best swordsmen that could be found in any ocean. Then, one day, those who feared their power attacked and the village was destroyed, half-submerged in the sea, and all the survivors fled to the far ends of the land. Many traditions and histories were lost, being too painful to speak of in some cases, and in others simply too difficult for the one trying to explain.
In the last five years, this has all changed. Due to major work from the founder of the new village, Kushina Uzumaki, Uzushio has been reborn, and slowly, as people come together, some glimmer of what they once were has started to shine through. Even if she refuses to permanently take over the village herself, Kushina is forever welcome in the new village, and anyone she vouches for is welcome within the new village.
In time, the glory of Uzushiogakure will return... but it's going to take a while, and be laid on a foundation of stability that many of those who returned simply haven't had in a very long time.
Village Reputation:
All Reputations will be written from the view of someone not from the village.
No one really sees this little village as anything but a poor reflection of a village that used to have a fearsome reputation. At this point, most people look at it as a group of refugees and nothing more.
