IMHO, we really don't NEED to know. Having it "everyone's in the retarded murdering business" makes it a lot more clever then "uh well you see there was these two boys and a stone, uh and you see because, the stone didn't flipply flop on the puddle we got the current ninja world! uh-huh" <.<;;;

Oh you don't? Then shut up and keep reading.
We knew they met as MEN which was way better.
We knew they had GUTS and the truce was made on ninja blood and glory of MEN, not "childhood dreams" in "random child murder land".
We didn't and we were better off. What exactly do you know more about he's character now? that he cries near rivers?
We knew they were fighting for their clans. Now we know they were fighting for their inner emo of peace.

Keep reading? I'm actually considering if I'm not better of skipping it.

The entire chapter was negative characterization and world building for me. I'm sure some people liked it and good for them, but this is a little too far off from the the story I wanted to read.
