Because of all the carnage happening around the lands and villages, and no insects to erode the malice of warfare, a foul smell would begin to spread throughout the village. It also didn't help the fact that with a three-month drought and no living vegetation to lubricate the scents, the sticky sweet stink of death spread that much faster and was made louder by the heat of summer. The bodies of men and animals alike were beginning to litter the lands everywhere. And for those kind souls generous enough to try and bury the dead, it was a moot endeavor.

The humid heat and dead soil did nothing to mask the stench of rotting flesh, unwashed bodies, blood, urine, feces, and other postmortem discharges. The population of flies had been almost completely eradicated. Earthworms and maggots were now a thing of the past and because of this, bloating corpses that combusted were now beginning to alter the states of earthen consistencies. Creatures like frogs, lizards, birds, and bats were also beginning to drop. And what animals that were still alive at this point had resorted to fighting and killing each other. Stray cats and dogs, as well as people's pets, were also beginning to prey upon one another to feed....assuming they weren't being killed by and fed to other humans.

The widespread of death and famine made larger by a continuous drought would carry through all over the continent with a compelling heat and humid weather in tow. The smaller lands and villages that bordered the four great nations would be the first to perish and had done so in near complete silence. Gone were the existences of the lands of Demons,  Plains, Wolves, Ashes, Wood, Stone, Fields, Grass, Rivers, and Swamps. There was also the cluster of smaller lands fashioned between the Wind and Fire country, as well as that which bordered Earth and Lightning, but these were wiped out within the first few weeks of the demons breaking out. Because of this drought too, the world's water supply was now being threatened. Streams, swamps, ponds and even small lakes were being dried up. The rivers that wound their way through the lands seemed unaffected for the most part and seemed to have the little to no contamination but they were quickly becoming the more densely populated breeding grounds for the invasive demons that were starting to multiply. What would usually take months to years for bodies of water to dry up was happening in weeks, even days. And ironically, with the general temperatures of everywhere reaching an all time, not even the melting of the ice caps seemed to have an effect on the gradually receding oceans around them.

Worldwide travel would have been restricted to only those ordained by the kages, since now even the bandits and shantytowns that pockmarked the lands had been completely eradicated by a newly arrived species to the field.



To those gifted the privilege and misfortune of traveling the lands, they would be able to confirm that now only the lucky seven remained:

Iwagakure*

Amegakure**

Sunagakure****

Takigakure***

Kumogakure*

Kougakure*

Konohagakure**

And even among these several, life was dwindling.

To be continued...
