     "He truly was a Man of the World, the light that illuminated the entire village...

But we must carry on, we must not let his sacrifice be in vain. We must be strong."


     − Hitoyo Tamotsu, about Kitsune Tarou. Story Arc OST: " Scene of a Disaster "

Story Arc: Chapter 6.5 − Three Years of Chaos: Time − Skip.

     It feels like it was just yesterday, but it's already been three years since that fateful day.
Tōrōgakure, known as the most powerful village in the land, both militarily and economically, 
is now struggling to keep itself and it's people fed, and continues living in fear of an invasion. 
So many lives were lost that we are unable to spare shinobi to complete significant missions.

     These have been dark days for Tōrōgakure... some of the darkest we've seen in ages...

     To continue the story, you must create a new Design for your character in the coming Arcs.
Keep in mind, once your Design is approved, it becomes canon, you cannot change it afterwards.
Like Always, down the road your design could change, but you still need approval of an administrator.

I'm a little confused about a few things. I read through it all, but I don't know what to put for certain things. Like the missions done. I haven't done any, so what do I put down? And as for the Time-skip credits, do I apply that to my Post-timeskip character?
