Kigigakure

Kigigakure (Village Hidden in the Trees) is an extremely small, weak village located within the Land of Gardens. Due to their low level of strength, and the generally peaceful nature of the Land of Gardens Kigi has not managed to gain any reputation amongst the ninja world. In fact Kigigakure is so insignificant in the grander scheme of things that few outside the Land of Gardens know that they exist at all. Despite this those that are familiar with the village often call it the "Village of Secrets" due to the village possessing a number of unique Hiden, the secrets of which they jealously guard. Kigigakure is also the keepr of secrets untrusted to them by the Land of Gardens' Daimyo, as well as secrets known only to the ancient forest clans that originally formed it. While these secrets are valuable, and might lead to others targeting the village, their anonymity and the Land of Gardens' lack of political significance has protected them so far. The leader of the village is called the Mori no Ban'nin (Keeper of the Forest), and is privy to all of Kigigakure's secrets.
