(Naruto ninjaverse campaign) Rise of the Ninja Way:Book one the great ninja tournament- Looking for opinions

In a time of peace, youth, and pure innocence, hands joined together in a uncontested golden age.Mankind sought toward the expansion of the world through discovery of the unknown to push their lust for knowledge. Everyone looked toward one man to lead the World, His name had come to be known as Oba Kuemon a strong and powerful Lord Who sought not personal wealth but sacrificed what he had in order to help those who needed it, and for that his people trusted him more. Though the world was at peace there were some who did not agree with his method of doing things and occasionaly revolted against him. As the world progressed so did the number of his enemies. Over time they formed a secret assoc naming themselves "the Communion of the New Order". Their plan was not to gather in numbers for talk,but planned on the assassination of Oba and those who followed him. At the Discorvery of chakra the world boomed into a state of transformation as those who firmly believed in the way of the sword opposed those who sought to make chakra based techniques the main way of life. Those who Followed the blade established unique fighting styles setting their difference from the chakra users and began to make dojos to parade and show their superior way of life. Oba did not see this as a bad way to let out their rage and allowed for the construction of dojos to happen all around the world. Those who traveled to these dojos and agreed to their way of life followed under a domio Who slowly thought them portions of their fighting style in return for Worship and Dominance. After many years passed down the timeline the domio's noticed the growth of others wanting to establish themselves as the greatest and began warring against other dojos, To make sure that they would not get dragged into their own demise Ninja were crafted as assassins to swiftly and secretly kill their targets and getting out without a trace. The ninja started off intercepting trade routes and small things to agitate the enemies dojo and once weakened the ninja were ordered to execute the domio. The outbreak of assassinations hit the world hard and chaos ran rampant. Oba unable to do anything about this began to raise up an army of skilled blades men who could out finesse the secretive fighting styles of the ninja. and those men were given the title of samurai. Before Oba could fully establish his army within all of the chaos the Communion of the New Order took their time to strike when Oba was his weakest in numbers. The attack was a major success and Oba was assassinated. At this turning point in the world the Domio immediately set out to claim territory as Oba's empire crumbled. creating the first great ninja war .Those Domio who held the greatest numbers and the most influence set out to murder any dojo that would not join them and acknowledge them. Most common villagers did not want part of this war and joined different establishments throughout the world. The land over time broke into 5 massive bodies of territory The Eto Provence( Land of fire ) The Mhjorn Provence (Land of earth) The Oath Provence (Land of wind) The Shi'Rin Provence (Land of lighting) The Ani'vah Provence(Land of Water) The 5 great domio who despite their greatest efforts came evenly matched with the other respective dojos formed a partnership with one another sharing what they could of fighting styles, and establishing new trade routes across the land in attempts to end the war. Those who wanted to be independent and separate to the cause made there way to The Ani'vah Provence (Land of water) in order to live out their lives the way they wanted. Though the lands worked together there always sat that imminent risk of war between them. As the years passed on the communion of the new order still unsatisfied made several attempts at trying to disrupt the peace but were unsuccessful.  Majority of the nations did choose to cultivate their own ninja for protection but some did choose to hire the samurai for protection. Eventually after there came no need for domio the world began to set forth a blueprint that would put people who can lead nations at the front of the seat rather then Showmen of the fighting way and thus came up with the concept of the Kage. Later on down the line the blueprint became a reality and the first line of kage were placed into power. Leaders who would look out for the greater good of thier people just like Oba had once done. each nation aquired a kage and together they decided to Honor thier old ruler by forming an academy to teach the ninja way to its people so that in the future there may be a Great ninja tournament so that the nations can still have thier showmenship to see who can produce the worlds best ninja.  The First generation of ninja produced did not compete in the tournament but instead would craft and mold the second generation to shoot for greatness. Though the concept of the tournament presented a nice way for the world to get together once more there still was a small hint of worry. The Kage decided that the tournament would be set for those who were only at genin rank to help diminish the worry.  Academy students Genin Chunin Johnin Hokage The world has just established its first line of true ninja and are just starting to select which academy students would attempt to become Genin and which ones would be weeded out the program These ninja used both chakra and skill with the bladed weapons breaking down a true ninja into 3 trees Ninjutsu Genjutsu Taijutsu ninja have to only follow those they are well versed in but at least have to have Knowledge in the other trees. 
What system are you planning on using for this?
The System would be based off of the traditional d20 conecept(being able to make perception rolls. dodge etc etc). Players would have a home brewed point buy system which will be tailored to fit The characters individual play style. Stats will be New and tailored to fit the world as well as a Pretty decent chakra system That goes off of the players innate chakra pool versus their reserves . There will be a level system similar to the  normal editions as well
I take it a new rank will be earned around every four or five levels or something.I would use Pathfinder maybe, as they actually have a ninja class. I guess complete warrior and rokugan do too, but for some reason I like how PF does it better. I also take it this is to be set before the anime?
The Setting would not be aligned with the Anime. Hence the Ninja Verse. We would take the concept of ninja with jutsus and various clans of the great nations. but the basis of the worlds story and progression of clans would be Created fresh . 
Players would be starting off on the last day of the academy going through their final test to become genin The Genin would have a year of preparation in order to set themselves in place for the Ninja tournament. While This is going on alot of story elements would come into play  where the players dive into the world around them while figuring out if the ninja way is something that they want to fully experience or not . 
Okay. Color me mildly interested for now, I guess. Unfortunately I'm already in one game on Friday and potentially another on Sunday. I work Tue,Thur,and Friday and have school on Monday and Wednesdays. But I might have more time in a couple of weeks from now. Saturdays might also work.
will players be using text to commucitate or would we be use skype or something like that
  Voice communication Skype or discord
hello these sounds interesting i haven't watched naruto in a while but l like the show when i did if you have room for me my skype is anriokso
I'd suggest the Naruto D20 fan adaption that runs off of D20 Modern if you're fine with Genjutsu effectively getting the shaft in terms of power. Not nearly as badly as whatever poor sap tries to main in Fuinjutsu though.
Id be interested in joining up depending on what day you intend to play providing it doesnt overlap with a existing game. I do have several ideas for characters but may wait to see what others are playing to prevent overlap. I did always like the idea of the Kurama Bloodline from the Anime with Genjutsu, but yeah i think i saw the NartutoD20 book before and they did get fairly week, with exception of some really high level moves i think.
i planned on having 4 players placed together. For those who were interested i will add you via skype. just let me know and send in your Skype information The dates we do the campaign on will be based off of the players availability. More or less the group will decide

Will you accept races outside of humans with reasonable explanations?  Edit: I think I have a friend that might be interested if we could do fridays.
 Potentially cat. With reasonable explanation and a bit of optimization sure, we can make it work 
Cool cool, I sent you a PM with my skype if you wanted to discuss some ideas I was going with.
I will hit everyone up that im going to be inviting tommorow around noon
That will only just to be talking about avilability and characters and such, right?
Hi. I'm a friend of Cat F.  I'd also be interested in being part of this campaign. I have a general concept in mind for a character, but I'd like to discuss it with you before choosing which style to focus on. I've read the first thirty or so books in the manga, but its been a few years and I'm rusty on the details.
