Kirigakure (Recon)



, infamously known as the, is the shinobi village located in the Land of Water. As one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries, Kirigakure has a Kage as its leader known as the Mizukage. There have been six Mizukage, the current one being Muzai Kaguya. Kirigakure has suffered greatly for the past few generations; causing a higher number of Kages than most other villages. However, under it's current Mizukage, Kirigakure has entered an age of elitist prosperity. Reshaping it's entire culture. But under such happiness, a Bloody Mist covers hidden secrets.

Muzai's revolutionary ideas, and innovative steps lead to a prosperous era for Kirigakure. After the Sixth Mizukage's strange disappearance, Muzai started a revolutionary party known for Bloodline elitism. With his council under him, Muzai gathered forces through hidden treaties. He also created an event known as the Bloodline Baby Boom. By introducing worthy Shinobi into bloodline families as well as creating certain policies, more children of Bloodline limits were born. He also invested time and finances into studying hydroelectric power and marine mercantilism; giving Kirigakure an unrivaled level of economic stability.

Kirigakure's architecture is composed of several cylindrical buildings, with the Mizukage's office being the widest and largest. Most of the taller buildings have trees on them. Befitting its name, the village is surrounded by a thick mist, with several mountains in the background, making it difficult to find by foreigners. It is known to snow a lot in Kirigakure, with a sun that barely shines. But in this beauty that is Kirigakure no Sato, exotic flowers grow. Muzai managed to accomplish something never before done. He merged both forms of government, Daimyo and Kage, into one entity. By slaughtering the Daimyo, his family and followers, Muzai took control and placed his wife as Shogun. Shinobi are trained in a unique style of combat that mixes assassination with environmental manipulation.

Muzai's rise to power lead to treaties with minor villages who support Kirigakure. As well as some minor towns. Muzai also managed to lesson criminal activity through government regulation of otherwise criminal activity. Brothels, opium usage, alcohol are heavily monitored if not pushed to Kachiku provinces. Muzai, alongside his wife, managed to conquer surrounding islands. Such as his ancestors once did. With his lover being Saiken's Jinchuuriki, Kirigakure has a mastery over it's tailed beast. Making it one of few nations capable of doing so.
