Warring States Period is a term in the Naruto fandom for the time period before the founding of the Hidden Villages. A popular fanon name for the period is the Founders Era, referring to the founders of the Hidden Villages (such as Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara for Konohagakure.)
Fandom
Canon focuses on conflict between the Uchiha and Senju Clans in this time period, and correspondingly most of the fanwork from this era is about them. Senju Hashirama, Senju Tobirama, Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Izuna are especially popular characters, along with other members of the Senju and Uchiha clans.
Popular ships include Tobirama x Madara and Hashirama x Madara. Gen relationships between the brothers and the canon het ship Hashirama x Mito are also moderately popular.
Popular tropes include Time travel (often of canon-era characters to the Warring States Period), and canon divergence, often with a focus on clan politics.
