MEMENTO MORI→
Oh, how wrong we were to think..
..that immortality meant never dying.

Once luminous stars the lit up the dark sky as a symbol of hope, of light; that there will always be light in the darkest of hours. Nothing could rip them down or strip them from their rightful home. The stars have been defied.
In mythology passed between moving lips and ink on paper, there were four symbols of constellations characterized as creatures. They are know as the Divine Beast. They include: The Azure Dragon the East, Vermilion Bird of the South, White Tiger of the West, and the Black Tortoise of the North. Each have their own appearance, personality, power inscribed to them and only them. And now, they have been born into human bodies with like characteristics and personalities. Each, but one unaware of their power and the help or great destruction they can cause. For now, they are separated, for it is said that the will of the stars to keep them apart; afraid of what they could achieve together. Recently, they have been discovered not only by the remaining Akatsuki searching and starving for power to rebuild their organization once again. Although the power of these beast is exactly what the Akatsuki need, they fear the thought of them. The quieted, infamous organization battle between the thought of what to do. Destroy them before they find out their power? Or make them aware of what they can do and persuade them into helping the Akatsuki. For they cannot simply extract the power like the bijuu. But awakening their power, they can do. But what if they transform and lash out? Surely not even the Akatsuki can stop them if that were to happen so suddenly. Pein has recently moved closer to the idea of putting the beast back in their place and killing them before they can succeed the Akatsuki and perhaps with the development of a new jutsu will the Akatsuki be able to preserve at least some of their power.
Despite the Akatsuki thinking that they hold the only knowledge of the Beasts, Hatake Kakashi has informed the Hokage, Tsunade. With the Elders and Danzou gone, there is not corruption with the village's head system and now Tsunade and a select few contemplate the idea of what to do. First and foremost, they must protect them from the Akatsuki but what exactly of the Beast's sleeping power? Shall they train them to reassure of no surprise power being unleashed suddenly within the daily lives of those Divine and conjure of liking of the villages? Because no village in the Shinobi nation needs corruption and ill-feeling towards the world. Or would it merely be a good idea not to meddle within the lives of them? However, Tsunade already has an eye on a young 15-year old boy in Konoha itself that has now been assured in possessing the Vermilion Bird. Not a word has been spoken to him about the Beast's, but does the young boy know of his power? Thoughts arise on something he feels inside of him and he often questions it to himself and his elders. They tell him it is nothing, for they are told not to say a word, but the boy knows something is different with him. It is only a matter of time.
In the East in a village called Hoshigakure, a Beast has already discovered himself and has left his village unsure of what to do. During the forbidden Star training that the Hoshikage wanted to practice on the "promising young boy" it was made aware of the power for the kid could harness the power of the stars and use it with his chakra. At first, he was scared.. frightened of what others would think of him which is why he fled from the village. Thoughts of going back and them scorning him like the Kage did arose and soon ill thoughts began on his home village. Were all humans like this? So ignorant and despicable judging and fearing and shunning things they are not familiar with.. The Azure Dragon of the East wants his revenge. For now, he wanders around villages hiding and planning to perhaps find his other "siblings" unaware of the Akatsuki's eyes being on him first. The other two, the Black Tortoise of the North and the White Tiger of the West are not aware. This is about to change.
(for your interest, but is still a must read.)
For the most part, Konoha has remained quiet. Uchiha Sasuke is back in the village after his failed thought of getting revenge at Konoha and he was told the other truth of what Madara left out on his brother. His acceptance in the village was not easy, but approved nonetheless after a sentence in solitary confinement hidden within the Hokage Mountain under the watchful eye of Tsunade, Shizune, Sakura, and Kakashi. Team Hebi does not refer to themselves as "Team Hebi" or "Team Hawk" but has more of went their separate ways after a sentence for conspiracy themselves; not nearly as strict as Sasuke's for they went to a regular correction building. After, their loyalty has been pledged to the village of Konohagakure. This was four years ago, however, because the Konoha rookie are now 21.
