Story Line
The Kaito region is located in a island southwest of Hanto. The four clans who dominate the area are the Kurogane, the Shinkyou, the Deido and the Kishi. According to legend of this region, a long time ago, a legendary warrior was born within the Kishi. He possessed huge skills in fighting and forging weapons. His quest began when a demonic being forged the most powerful weapon known at that time. A blade filled with the powers of darkness that was able to unleash hell on Earth. The grandmaster, as he was called, was blessed with the Four Great Senses: Strenght, Wisdom, Willpower and Faith. He merged those powers in a single blade, that became known as the Angel Blade. With a powerful weapon in hands, the grandmaster challenged the demonic being to a battle to decide the fate of Kaito. The grandmaster won the epic battle, and in his last forces, split his weapon into four separate swords, that together would summon the Angel Blade, and gave one to each clan to balance the region of Kaito again. Now, a long time later, the demonic Shinkyou Kazuya has managed to control the weapon held by the devil warrior himself, the Hell Sword. With the power of a true god on his hands, he aims on becoming the single lord of the region and the only thing capable of stopping him is the Angel Blade.

Iron Interceptor nice idea of skill i like that but i think energy cost can be change into 1 intel and 1 random
Blast of Steel can reduce to 1 wisdom
Hammer dance energy cost must be 1 strength buz it deal random target
tiger flow must be 1 wisdom
Multiple clones of Chisoku cost is too much 2 wisdom for 1 counter or 10 affliction of random enemy
Mud Absorption must be increase by 1 random to 1 wisdom and 1 random
A wall of dust is too Op
Scythe Split cooldown must be reduce by 1
Seal Activation is too Op
Kusari-gama Strike effect bleeding affliction with how many turns?

there are too many i cant read at all so some must be need balance that i miss i think

the first char is find. The second char is OP. The 3rd char is like a little OP but he seems find. The village item is fine.

the second village

The first char is find but he reminds me of jomon. The second char is OP. The third char is good. The village item is OP.


the third village

The first char is fine. The second char is good. The third char is too OP in WoN getting those energy is a piece of cake this aint NA.The Village item is fine.

the fourth village

the first char is OP. The second char is fine. The third char is OP like i said getting those energies are a piece of cake in WoN. The village item is TOO OP.

The bosses

The bosses are too UP for the looks of it.


The white guardian

Nothing to say but OP.

Side village

cool like how the char use blood to battle nothing to say here but balanced.


Overall

Nice chars but the story line needs some changing this sounds like one of the fantasy RPG stuff like find the 7 gen stones and defeat the demonic being and stuff has nothing to do with ninjas.

~Bump
Made some changes on the story lines and balance changes
I still want your criticism regarding those changes
