1) Which canon village are you applying for?

Amegakure

2) Which fanon village are you introducing/creating for the Fanon Canon (if applicable)? For what purpose are you applying for/introducing the canon/fanon village into the Fanon Canon?

Not applicable

3) Who will be the Kage/Village Head of the village you are applying for/introducing? How did they reach this position? (Be detailed, as this is extremely important) Conquering the village also, inadvertently, means that you have dominion over the entire country; who will be the Daimyō of your country? How will they have attained this position? (If this is taken by a user who is collaborating with you, please ask them to answer this question on your behalf)

Izaya, basically, since Izaya was a teenager and a fresh chuunin graduate, he had been introduced to the special unit of Kumogakure. Under their orders, Izaya had been sent to gather intel about the Land of Rain and their movements, specifically to infiltrate the politics and higher-ups that reside in Amegakure. It is there that the story to progress to become the leader begins. After all, Izaya was merely fourteen before his mission there officially started, just a mere half year after being selected to be part of that special unit. Izaya under the name of Kyogi managed to infiltrate by taking the identity of one the Eight-Legged Table members; appearance, manners and attitude utilized ‘perfectly’. It was a tough job to stay in line and report sufficient information back to Kumogakure. Why was it tough on both roles? The young man had become more interested in what the Rain could offer, and how he could rebuild that ruined fortress. Secrets of the Rain stayed with him, the secrets that would benefit once he claimed the village and country for himself. And, after three harsh years, now seventeen, Izaya had disappeared on either side. His plan would work out, anyone that stood in his way would be annihilated. It was what had been taught to him during his stay in Ame. He didn’t start with taking Ame, he first annihilated the special unit, who held precious information. Killing them would benefit not only him, but also for the future plans, and, it would mean a lesser threat to him. Ending them, Izaya obtained their knowledge with his hidden skill, which, he would use under the identity of the Shadow Broker. And, in the end, Izaya started to overthrow the current leaders of Amegakure. Their minions would die in that fight, buildings would be destroyed and the innocent kept alive. The Eight-Legged Table? Annihilated. It was a pure instinct which led him to attain the position of the Lord of the Rain: an infiltrator adoring the Rain, whom had fallen into corrupted hands, and saved by that very man.

As for entering the village, Izaya had been legalized to enter the village without an issue. This is thanks to his position as a politician, who had been away on business for a short period, and returned to the village. With his knowledge, Izaya managed to learn about the weak and strong points of Amegakure, and able to pin-point the opposers (guards, followers of the Eight-Legged Table and themselves), which he instinctually slaughtered in cold blood. With the latter said, as a former member of the special unit, Izaya excelling in assassinations, silent killing but foremost his utilization of his lightning origin: magnetism.Through these and with the help of formidable allies, the rebels joined his rank in removing the Eight-Legged Table. Of course, Izaya targeted that cult first, sadly, having to kill any opposers in his path.

'''4) Following the Fourth Shinobi World War, what has your village gone through in order to recover from the damages? Include details on the changes in the political systems, deaths of certain key characters from the village in canon (if applicable) and the like. (This does not have to be a considerable amount of time. However, a brief overview of the historical information you have for your village gives the operators a sense that you have thoroughly contemplated the status of your village.)'''

The damage that the Rain had to endure travels back even prior the Fourth Shinobi World War. It started with the three former Great Shinobi Lands, who often had raging wars clashing in the midst of the Rain. The innocent and war refugee had been forced to build a fortress together, in an attempt to make a safe haven from these evildoers. It did maintain to protect them. But, these men and women were no fighters and any intruder could barge in and start havoc. Luckily, the shinobi that went missing from their countries had offered their strength in return for a roof. It’s what the weak merely asked for, safety and protection, and trust. They may be weak, indeed, but they are strong-willed and oddly kind to the strangers that offered them protection. It’s what truly made Amegakure a fortress. It contained the power of those that were hunted by the other villages and their loyalty lied with those that protected them from these animals. Amegakure was still a safe haven after Hanzou began to take control over it. It did need a leader to continue to keep the fortress the way it was, yet, it was still quite bare. During the reign of Nagato, Amegakure had become a true fortress guarded by him and the angel. The people feared him and admired him for his power and the will to protect them. In the end, the citizens were the ones that truly had to endure the struggle and pain with the constant doministic leaders.

This started to better with a new leader, one that brought balance with the military power, economic status and investing more in the technical prospect of Ame. The business had been out since Hanzou and Nagato took over the village, leaving it quite bare to the villages, low-quality food and luxurity. It wasn’t just Ame, it was all of the Rain. It would take years to rebuild the economy, not much of the military power and technology. After all, the Rain was a good trade post, had a fair amount of powerhouses (missing-nin and the like), (unknown) weapons in its arsenal and the futuristic-looking technology (buildings). Money was the key now, and that’s what this new leader was working on. However, his reign ended after ten years when the Eight-Legged Table arose from the ground. It was a group, a cult, with eight members in it. They continued the projects of the former leader, but these people tainted the safety of their citizens. Why? These men wanted to experiment with the secrets Ame possesses, with one including to test on humans. People lost their children, stolen by those leaders. Rebels began to stand for their people, but easily defeated. Overall, the the abovementioned three continued to improve, with the population not staggering either. After all, Ame remains a safe haven for those that are unwanted in the other countries and villages.

5) What is the technological state of the village you are applying for/introducing to the Fanon Canon? Any specific equipment or technology that should be noted? How has this impacted on their funding?

The technological state of Amegakure is what I could say… quite supreme. It’s evident with the build constructions, which makes it look quite futuristic on sight. This potential had been wasted by the two canon characters, as prior mentioned, but improved throughout the years after Nagato’s reign. Ame has many inventions, of some what may be:


 * 1) Chakra Guns (It’s still in development, however, it may be blacklisted from production)
 * 2) Chakra Armour (Based of another village, Ame improved it for their own shinobi)
 * 3) Radios and other communication equipment, the latest being an advanced earphone. (latter is only usable with lightning release)
 * 4) Railways and trams, working on the natural electricity that is secretly saved somewhere.
 * 5) High-advanced technology: a screen that displays the news, live only.
 * 6) Advanced Defense Barrier: constant lightning courses through the outer barrier of Amegakure, ignoring those that have been accepted into the village. (this may strengthen, if the leader is within the village)
 * 7) Secret Device. Albeit said to be a device, this is a weapon that utilizes the natural lightning into bomb. Its power has yet to be measured.
 * 8) Able to build aircrafts for the aerialforce of the village.
 * 9) Able to create misdirections, chakra spenders, to mislead intruders from their target.
 * 10) etc.

The funds has been minimum, for Ame offers its technology with a pricy tag. Of course, in the beginning it strained their overall income and had to halt certain projects, in order to keep the land running. In the end, the technology allows the Rain to expend on business relationships, comfort of the inhabitants and income. Military-wise it is counted to play a large role in there.

Amegakure’s technology is by far, if I may be bold, more advanced than other countries, and hence why I rate it 5 stars.

6) What is the economical state of the village you are applying for/introducing to the Fanon Canon? How has this been impacted from the Fourth Shinobi World War as well as the introduction of the World Bank? Are there specific things your village is doing to accommodate for economic loss/gain?

The economy has improved ever since the first ‘’more’’ economical leader of Amegakure/Land of Rain. This has been ongoing to improve for 35 years. These leaders have invested in the World Bank over the years, freezing amounts and making sure that all of it is in order. Not only does the profit come from the trade, but Amegakure gains the income of the Land of Rain and those that have been conquered by it:
 * Land of Grass
 * Land of Rivers
 * Land of Stone
 * And the villages within these.

However, Amegakure makes sure that all of the countries and, especially its own, are in good condition. It provides financial aid would it be required. As well, Amegakure takes great care of its inhabitants and wishes to provide the best comfort to them. This is followed by the costs to maintain the military and improve and expand on the technology.

Amegakure has the finance to invest in the central bank, and wishes to act as one of the main supporters.

Amegakure has a regular income from various sources as mention before, as well from its own inhabitants, which leads it to an average 3. With the addition of the underground, this could easily lead to a rate of 4 or 5 stars.

7) What is the population status of your village you are applying for/introducing to the Fanon Canon? What is your interpretation of the population of the said village prior to the Fourth Shinobi World War?

The population of Amegakure seems, in my opinion, quite crowded. It’s not only the shinobi that is residing in there, but also the citizen that work hard there. I’d say, granted, 4/5 stars. Prior the shinobi, it may have been 3/5 what has increased in population throughout the years. After all, the accommodation of the village improved and the leadership changed the systems of the Rain. And, not to forget, Ame easily accepts the missing-nin who swear loyalty to the village, although may keep their freedom.

8) What is the military status of your village you are applying for/introducing to the Fanon Canon? What is your interpretation of the military status prior to the Fourth Shinobi World War? How has the military power of your village changed over the course of the years that Fanon Canon differentiates from the war by in terms of its Shinobi populace?

Amegakure did not participate in the Fourth Shinobi World War, albeit they had promised at first to aid Naruto Uzumaki. This message never came through after the death of Konan, which rendered the village immobile to make such actions. There became civilization war between the people, for those that wanted to claim the throne of the village and land, which ended up to the first economical leader. He made sure that the Shinobi, the young children that wanted to become one, were given a good education in the art of shinobi and trivial matters of life. Alas, the Shinobi of Ame are built from various backgrounds: missing-nin, hunter-nin, locals and the like, which has been growing during the 35 years. Especially during the reign of the Eight-Legged Table that began with the experiments on people and various others, as well creating mass weapons with their advanced technology and the ‘secret’ artifact that was hidden underground.

The military I would rate 3.5/5 without the weapons and technology. However, due that I rate it as 5/5 (you can find it on its talkpage)

'''9) If you were to have a Jinchūriki within your village, who would that Jinchūriki be and what Tailed Beast would they host? Furthermore, how would they have acquired this Tailed Beast and in what way does this impact the village’s dynamics with other villages? (This question should focus less on the actual capture of the Tailed Beast and more on its effects on allied/enemy villages. However, some detail is necessary in order to make this a valid part of your application.)'''

I’d like to pass on this question. Amegakure never messed with the superficial power of the tailed beast, and I wish to keep it that way.

10) Bonus Question! Is there any other information that you believe is relevant in order for you to gain permission for controlling/introducing the village in the Fanon Canon? If so, please write that down here!

Amegakure, whilst the economy on the surface may be ‘regular’ due the trade and technology investments, it is actually above average. This is due the underground that has been established since the first leader after the Fourth Shinobi World War, where they sell their ‘blacklisted’ goods and other things. As well, within that side, Amegakure allows their Shinobi to accept missions to assassinate i.e. feudal lords. However, the money gained from this is often invested in their country and could be used to financially aid the central bank. In other words, Ame could basically be seen as a post that can greatly support the finances of the Shinobi lands.
