Kirigakure is the hidden village hidden in the Land of Water. This village serves as one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries and is leaded by it's Kage known as the Mizukage. As it's name states, Kirigakure is a village hidden within a thick mist that makes the village especially hard to locate by outsiders. The numerous of buildings located within Kiragakure are cylindrical in shape and the Mizukage's office in particular is the largest and located in the center of the village.
Kirigakure's ninja often wear cloaks and mainly black shirts and pants. Numerous of ninja of Kiragakure learn Water Release. However, thanks to the current Mizukage, Suijin Hōzuki, he has helped those train to use other forms of Water Release mainly Mud Release. The primary fighting force of Kirigakure are the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist which composes of seven different shinobi all wielding mythical swords capable of different effects. Suijin himself used to lead them before his acesion to Mizukage. It is now headed by Tsukiko who has taken up the mantle of Samehada for himself.
==History==
Kiri was founded many years ago during the Warring States Period by the first Mizukage, Byakuren. Kiri was originally a peaceful village until, during the later years, became plagued with many different wars and conflicts. One of the most notable ones was contested between the Second Mizukage and Iwa's Second Tsuchikage where they ended up killing each other in combat.

===Jigoku Clan Incident===
During the latter years after the formation of the new Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, there was another incident that was called into question from other smaller villages. One of his main followers, named Chiizu Jigoku, had lead various of deadly attacks during Suijin's rule without his knowledge. Chiizu and his followers known as the Jigoku Clan had been massacring other villages to savor their own bloodlust all while making themselves stronger by feasting on the blood of those they have killed (particularly making their Blood Release style stronger). They also had been secretly stealing resources as well with Chiizu saying it was for the sake of the village. Even though they had the Bloody Mist title, Suijin didn't want to have Kiri be at adds with the other villagers and had banned Chiizu due to his reckless actions. An upset Chiizu vowed to make his own village that would surpass Kiri as the "true Blood Mist Village" and would later make Chigakure within a deep, underground cave.
Due to this incident, which has been dubbed the "Jigoku Clan Incident," Kiri was left without it's main trainer. Though he was a violent shinobi, Chiizu's methods in training was quite impressive being able to shape most of the previous Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Suijin then recommended to find a replacement teacher in Chiizu's place that could be as effective, but not as violent towards his students.
===Alliance with Shinkou Lake===
After banishing the top trainer Chiizu Jigoku, Suijin sought to form an alliance to the sages from the fable Shinkou Lake that sits far out on an open ocean past a fierce storm.
