So, looking at the descriptions of the races we can choose: they're very bland. Some are oddly worded, so, I decided to write some simple ones of my own.
I'm not crying out for change, this is just my own suggestion. I would write lengthy ones, but no one would really read them (as they probably don't now).
Original:
~~~~~~~~~~~~Leaf~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Konohagakure, where the Leaf shinobi are from there's a little town called Konoha.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Mist~~~~~~~~~~~~
High above the ocean of Kirigakure, in frail looking elaborate Ninja structures that look as though they might collapse under the slightest strain, yet have existed for decades.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Sand~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Sand nin are found within Sunagakure, from the Hidden Village of the Desert, quite obvious where they got the name by the looks of it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Rock~~~~~~~~~~~~
Iwagakure, where the Iwagakure shinobi serve the sinister purposes of the Tsuchikage
~~~~~~~~~~~~Lightning~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kumogakure, where the Kumogakure shinobi serve one of the five great Shinobi Nations to resist the evil Akatsuki.
Raiginal: (Simplistic and generic in what they will say)
~~~~~~~~~~~~Leaf~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the heavily-forested land of Konohagakure, the land of fire, where the shinobi serve their Hokage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Mist~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the corrupted, water-surrounded Kirigakure, land of Mist, where the Mizukage is in charge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Sand~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Sand nin are found within Sunagakure, the Hidden Village of the Desert, where they follow the will of the Kazekage. It's quite obvious how their name was granted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Rock~~~~~~~~~~~~
Iwagakure, the village, quite literally, hidden in the rocks, where they serve the Tsuchikage.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Lightning~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kumogakure, the village hidden in the clouds, where the shinobi obey their Raikage.
