It didn't take long for the masses of the world to go insane. People are seeing things -- ghosts in the night. It's rumored that those who follow these ghosts disappear all of the sudden, but then they're found again, over the corpses of dozens. But it's hardly just a rumor. People have been disappearing all of the sudden, and when they arise once more; it's only to pull off a stunt. The crime hasn't been stopped, either, because the guards are going insane too. From all over, citizens and the police-force alike have been ravaged by madness. Even in academy rooms across the world, students flip out and sometimes even manage to slaughter the teacher. Or sometimes -- even -- the teacher flips out and slaughters the students. The academy rank has been globally removed; people are automatically being promoted to genin and trained by a singular tutor. That way, even if someone's anger explodes, it won't be too late for everyone; just for one adult or child.
Most Kage's have sealed off their villages into districts; the richest of the townsfolk are kept close to the safety of the Kage, but that's only so the businessmen aren't all slaughtered and the economy won't crash. This has only enraged the poorer folk even more, though -- and those who aren't succumbing to madness are simply succumbing to blind rage. The entire world has gone mad. Everyone is sure that now is the time of extinction; and this only provokes their actions. Rape, murder, or both at once; three popular options left for the people of this world. Many of the prison wardens have been releasing prisoners simply because of now-massive threats of death; and the unleashed prisoners are only bringing more madness into these lands.
Animals have gone insane, too. Often times, people are awoken by the vicious growl of their own dog; only seconds away from biting into their skulls. Most times, the owners die. Those who don't die are infected with vicious diseases because the pets haven't had proper feed or care due to increasing starvation and poverty. Those who aren't killed by animals or other people -- though -- are instead simply killed by starvation. Famine is everywhere; even the rich suffer and beg. The population of the world is now 20% of what it was just a while ago. Decreasing birthrates are also due to women suddenly becoming infertile. Everyone is sure, now; it's the total apocalypse.
