Yarigakure



{{translation|Yarigakure|槍隠れの里|Yあrigakure no Sato; Literally meaning "Village Hidden by Spears"; also known as "Village Hidden in the Spears" or "Hidden Spear Village") is a lesser known hidden village that rests in the small area known as {{translation|Land of Crows|カラスの国|Karasu no Kuni}}. It lies north of the Land of Fire, east of the land of Earth, and west of the Land of Sound. Yarigakure has a distinct warrior culture but, underneath, is a poor village with homeless people, orphans, and maimed people due to wars between the Great Countries.  Yあrigakure is ran by the {{translation|Haganekage|鋼影|Steel Shadow}} but, as of recent events, there has been no Haganekage since the Fourth.

Founding
Yarigakure was originally founded by the First Haganekage, I man named. He founded Yarigakure during the reign of the Second Hokage. He had the ability to wield the unique Kekkei Genkai, the Steel Release. He was able to mold and form steel from the ground or from his own body. He also had the ability to forge new and unique weapons and, from this ability, created the Geheimbluttanz|夏灰夢武羅杜単頭|Ro. Gehaimuburatotanzu|Lit. Summer Ash Dream Warrior Rending Grove Single Head|''Secret Blood Dance}} which utilizes the Steel Release' ability to manipulate steel while wielding swords. As well, the form emphasized on the cruelty of man and the quest to remove ones sin from the mind, body, and soul. However, before this ability to be perfected, the First Haganekage was killed by a fanatical group who felt, by killing him, they could wield his unique Steel Release. However, the Steel Release died with his death and his daughter, overtook his position.

Second Shinobi War
A decade after Kitaeri resumed her fathers position, the Second Shinobi War began in earnest. Most of it was fought in Amegakure and Yarigakure as well as other lesser known villages. During this time, Yarigakure took no part in the fighting but was still invaded. However, after the death of the First Haganekage, Geheimbluttanz was adapted and practiced among the Shinobi of Yarigakure. It was adapted to not include the Steel Release but relied heavily on the proficiency of different weapons and the ability to utilize them simultaneously. The village attempted to defend itself but it was caught in the middle of a battle between Konohagakure and Iwagakure. It was here that the guardians of the Haganekage made a stand and managed to defend the village for ten days straight with only one hundred and thirty men. However, most of them were crumpled and the civilians were either put to death or forced to flee. During this time, Kitaeri made her stand and, with her powerful sword techniques, was able to push the opposing forces away. However, despite that, she would later die in a later attack by Iwagakure who sought to find the unique ability the Steel Release. With Kitaeri dead, there wasn't anyone who could claim the Haganekage seat. However, a commoner named laid claim to the seat.

The Yarigakure Civil War
This time that Kaku ruled was marked by hostilities and civil war. One faction felt that a commoner such as Kaku has no right to be a Haganekage while the other faction felt that a commoner is what the village needs to rise to prominence. Kaku attempted to calm the situation but his action only inflamed the opposition until an attempt on his life was made. Infuriated, Kaku declared martial law and sent his troops to murder every single opposition to his rule. This was the. Both factions erupted and the in-fighting began. The Civil War lasted for five months and both factions sustained heavy casualties. The situation was so dire that Konohagakure was forced to intervene. This only cause the situation to become more volatile and in a desperate attempt to end the war, the Konohagakure ANBU assassinated the Third Haganekage. Both factions of Yarigakure saw this as a direct attack tot he village and turned on Konoha. This immediately ended diplomatic relations between the two and Yarigakure still remains bitter towards Konoha. It was during the Civil War that Tetsumoto was orphaned as a baby.

The Fourth Haganekage
Following the Yarigakure Civil War, the village was greatly devastated while leaving many homeless, poor, and orphaned. The infrastructure was highly damaged and, for the most part, the village ceased to be a hidden village. The village itself was widely ignored during the Third Great Shinobi War save for being used as a recon point or a place or rest for the forces. It was during this time that a man named called began to establish himself as the new Fourth Haganekage. While historians are unsure as to why, most people accepted Kigane with open arms. Kigane attempted to reach out to those who were hurt from the World Wars and Civil Wars and vowed to create a village of peace and prosperity. He, himself, taught new Shinobi the Geheimbluttanz and, soon, an resurgence of the style took over. The infrastructure was stabilized the village was repaired, and the economy began to pick up. By the end of the Third Shinobi World War, the village had just begin to establish itself to its former glory.

The Eisenzeiger
Shortly after the end of the Third Shinobi War but before the Nine-Tails' Attack on Konoha, Yarigakure was infiltrated by a cult-like organization called the. They consisted of previous members of those that supported the Third Haganekage as well as those who claimed they were direct descendants of the First Haganekage. In a quick and shocking attack, they infiltrated the Haganekage Office and asassinated the Fourth, Kingane and his body guards. They then began to systematically kill anyone related to the Fourth and, in a bizarre move, established Yarigakure as an anarchist state. They absolved the Haganekage title and burned any official documents and papers. In an impassioned speech to yarigakure's citizens, they declared the old ways are dead and the new ways are rule. Using passion, emotion, and promise of riches to the youth; many flocked to their call. They began to tear down the old establishment and one of the biggest targets was the Gheimbluttanz. Through a series of violent attacks and assassinations, any practitioner of the Geheimbluttanz was put to death. It was during this time that Tetsumoto and his group began to sow the seeds of rebellion.

The Tasogare Rebellion
The Tasogare Rebellion was an event that sought to overthrow the Eisenzeiger from control by cutting their supplies, isolating their factions, and striking them in their weaknesses. However, due to the betrayal of the double agent, Yanagi, who also happened to be one of the leaders of Tasogare, the mission was compromised and Tasogare was ambushed as they made way into one of the secret entrances into the Eisenzeiger headquarters. The entire Tasogare Infiltration Team was killed as was the Supply Strike Team, and the Offensive Team. The only Tasogare member that survived the ambush was Tetsumoto who, after unlocking his Steel Release ability, was able to kill over one hundred Eisenzeiger shinobi before succumbing to his injuries. As an act of a last betrayal, Yanagi gave the final killing blow to Tetsumoto which ended in his apparent death. He managed to survive and defected from the village with plans to overthrow Eisenzeiger.

The Eisenzeiger Regime and the Fifth Haganejkage
Invigorated with the recent victory over Eisenzeiger and no more opposition to their rule, they began to establish themselves as the head government in Yarigakure. Due to his efforts in quelling the Tasogare Rebellion, Yanagi was elevated as the Fifth Haganekage though in reality, he was a puppet of the Eisenzeiger and mirrored their ideals. Yarigakure began to reach out to the other nations and, through Yanagi, made efforts to present themselves as a viable Shinbobi village.
