The Ame-Kiri Contract

This contract stated that Kirigkure, legally, own Amegakure for their protection and military strength. Amegakure is entitled to a Leader, a full military force, and freedom of speech, religion, etc. Amegakure cannot rebel against Kiri, the Ame Leader cannot abuse his/her power, and Ame cannot break the contract unless they either have the money or the whole village's permission. This was created and signed (by Amegakure) sometime near the end of the Fourth Great Shinobi World War to, originally, protect all water villages, but Takigakure refused to cooperate with Kiri for protection and strengthening purposes and decided to act on its own.
