User blog:Chix777/Golden Darkness' Second Arc!

With the first arc wrapping up, I have planned to announce the second for quite sometime. Though I preferred to have you guys run sub-stories within certain places, when these wrap up, the second arc will begin. This blog will detail what the second arc has in store for the world of GD, which growing from its original purpose as a fanfiction story of mine.

For those who heard there would be a rp about the fall of Konoha, there still will be. However, I will just be doing a oneshot summary of the fall, since there isn't a lot of Konoha shinobi and regardless, the fall of Konohagakure and the Fire Country really helps the world progress further into all out pandemonium. That'll be fun, right?

Overview
Before there was only really two sides. And one was more united than the other.

You were either with Zetsu or against him. There was nowhere else. No one else to turn to. The world itself became a large battleground between the two sides. Throughout the first arc, many survivors from Zetsu's initial strikes fought against the threat he possessed. The thing was though that none really fought together. Throughout, bonds were made and people began uniting in their lands to face the threat and those lands which had fell even began to strike back. But still, Zetsu was united and the survivors were not. Not much headway was gained.

This is the purpose of the second arc. To unite the nations, to restore the Shinobi Union. Well, what's left of it. Black Zetsu has won Konoha and has access to the bodies of Naruto and Sasuke, invaluable tools to the resurrection of his lady and master. In fact its only a matter of time. And there wasn't much to begin with. (However this isn't knowledge known to the survivors at the end of the first arc, but eventually they will find this out).

And its only going to get worse.

The survivors currently scattered and Black Zetsu's plans coming to fruition, even more will be added into the mix.

The shadow of the Ōtsutsuki Clan is about to be joined by new Ōtsutsuki themselves.

With Doom's Saimei Ōtsutsuki (she will be unsealed eventually), she will become a wild card that wields an undead army as well as powerful juinjutsu. Essentially a rival to the regime of Kaguya and Zetsu. And then, the Ōtsutsuki Clan shall be reborn in this arc. Unknown to Toneri, his clan has survived and they have returned.

Looking to end the legacy of Kaguya forever, they have captured the moon from Toneri and the Black Zetsu doppelganger with him. Setting up base there, they have decided to take back the Earth, and shape it into a "proper image", free of Kaguya and her legacy (essentially they want to commit genocide of the world and remake it).

The return of the Ōtsutsuki creates four factions. The survivors, Kaguya and her will, Saimei and her regime as well as the Ōtsutsuki looking to remove the heresy that is Kaguya.

This calls for the survivors to unite and join forces. Throughout the second arc, the remaining survivors will reform the Shinobi Union. Well try.

Once this happens, Six and Prince will help us find out Zetsu's true intentions and then eventually a battle will ensue with us facing off with Zetsu and Kaguya. However this will be stopped by the new factions forming who will officially make themselves known, ending the second arc.

But until then, they still have to unite with each other. It is the only way they will stand a chance with what is to come.

Joining
Please contact me if you want to join GD (like if you're not already in it).

Status
Many people have asked about the status of the strongholds and Tailed Beasts. As for the strongholds, by the end of the first arc, Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Lightning Country, Frost Country, Water Country, and Iron Country. (If I didn't say the Country, then I do mean just the village). Everywhere is else is officially under BZ control (though that doesn't mean that those places aren't in rebellion).

The Tailed beasts are currently free but protected by certain shinobi. However two of these protection places have been overrun and the beast captured. Chomei and Son Goku specifically are under BZ control. Gyuki, Isobu and Kurama are currently in hosts and the other four are still in these protection places (due to never being claimed) (however Saiken may be claimed, I am getting clarification). The Tailed beasts protection places will become a source of conflict once we figure out what Saimei is doing (in story). One, Two and Five Tails are definitely in these protection places.

Also no reincarnations of the Sage's sons exist currently.

Questions
Leave them in the comments please. There will be questions understandably and I would like to use the comments as a place to answer for everyone to see. Though more about the second arc will be released after the Konoha thing is done, this is just a heads up of what is to come.
