Currently the most recognized villages are the five Major powers; Leaf, Sand, Rock, Cloud and Mist, other villages that are smaller but still recognized are the Sound, Rain, Grass, Waterfall and Snow villages. Though other villages exist they are not widley regarded as important powers. The ten main villages currently have a less than pirfect allegiance based off the end of the Bijuu wars, however tensions have become rather high with the introduction of the first generation of Bijuu children and old grudges between villages are beginning to resurface. Given that in the time of peace the smaller five villages have grown in size and power things now seem to be on a more level playing field for the coming age.
