Three Years Later

---

Akatsuki had come out the gates swinging, but they haven’t been seen for three years. It’s odd how the group has seemingly vanished of the face of the earth, but no one is really complaining. They have enjoyed three years without the looming threat that Akatsuki had posed to their villages, and not needing to worry about a rogue group have turned their attentions back to their respective village. Kiri has decreased the crime rate within Water Country as well as improve their economy significantly under the new administration run by Erwin Ekkehard. Konoha has increased the security around their borders, not wanting a repeat of what had occurred last time. And under the guidance of Tosen, Kumo has also improved their economy and security as well, though they had suffered blows to their population due to the return of Suna. Speaking of Suna, much to the surprise of the other villages, the country has managed to dig their economy out from the dirt, bringing it back to what it had been before the fall. Under the rule of a new administration that’s led by Akira Kaguya and her associates, Suna has returned to its former glory. There have been talks that Akatsuki have hidden themselves in the country, it being rather suspicious that Suna returned the moment Akatsuki disappeared off their radars, but with evidence that’s nothing more than talk. At least for now.
