Hidden Caverns

The Three Great Holies

History:
Six hundred years ago a great man named Hakuma Aant approached the great Mount Titan with a small group of two hundred men and women, some ninja, most not. He had set off to start a great new village in the great nation on the coast. He was a great ninja, probably the greatest of his time and he was also the best hunter in the world. He was motivated that he would make a great place for these good people to live, a place where war could not harm them.

He did so in secrecy, leaving in a time of the bloodiest war in history. When all ninja villages were at war with each other.

He stumbled up an entrance into the mountain at the base, telling his people to stay behind he set off alone. Two weeks later he returned, saying that the mountain was tunnelled and he had just slain the last of the hunted. A great creature that was near extinct, and that the caverns were now their own. At that moment, he became the Hantakage. His first act, dumping the Hunted’s massive body into the bottomless pit.

In his life the Hakuma did three great things as the Hantakage. These are called the three holies. Firstly he founded the village, secondly he killed the hunted. Thirdly and probably the least recognised, but no less important; Hakuma was the last of his clan, a extremely powerful clan. With the innate ability to control all earthly matter, but it costs him great amounts of chakra to do so an large scales, great enough that it could kill him. To keep his village from being able to be attacked at from all sides on land, he sank the coast surrounding Mount Titan on all sides but one to great depths, the one leading to mainland. This killed him and incinerated his body, ending his clan. Though it resulted in his death, it is one of the holies of the village.

The second Hantakage, the founder of the Deddo clan, used his powers to raise the dead to create a tireless work force and expanded the village in ten years more than they did in the next two hundred. He started the golden age of the clan, when there was no battles, no wars, no famine, no revolution. Everything was as perfect as it could get.

The village thrived afterwards, using ninja sensory abilities all the entrances to the caverns were located, dozens existed, and most were destroyed and filled in, except for three. To keep the true secret of the villages location a secret, the third Hantakage founded the three entrance villages as his first act. Next to the founding of the village it was probably the most important thing that happened to the village.

Generations later, it was an established shin obi village, and not long after that, the Hantakage was assassinated by one of Deddo’s decendants and he started the largest stain on the history of the fine village. He ruled with an iron fist for forty years until he died a natural death, and until the time of the fifteenth Hantakage his clan was most hated in the village.
