Kirigakure

Kirigakure (霧隠れの里, Kirigakure no Sato; Literally meaning "Village Hidden by Mist"), infamously known as the "Village of the Bloody Mist" (血霧の里, Chigiri no Sato), formally located in the Land of Water, hidden through the mass amount of mist and water that camps around it's own base. In regard to this, the village seems unlike any other as it's own unique traits effortlessly baffles the words of others.

The piece of land itself is nonetheless worthy of being called a shinobi village. It stands by far, as a home for strong, yet ruthless warriors. The village itself, crowded by unsuspecting muggers, thieves and delinquents and even murderers, ready to strike upon an opening.

Era of the Bloody Mist
Kirigakure's first era to come, home of the bloody mist, litteraly known as an event to bring birth to strong, heartless shinobis, ready to stop at nothing for a kill and effectuate the task demanded. Youngsters are sent through a year of academic training, to which they'd brink their experience to a new level. Alas, only to find themselves in a formidable fate at long end.

Pitted against each other in a closed space, they have no other choice than to defeat one another in a game of survival, in hopes of achieving their goals and therefore continue on in their lives as youthful shinobis of Kirigakure no Sato. There which the village gained it's name, "Village of the Bloody Mist". Killing appears to've been discouraged. Rather, each will be graded off of their physical and mental performance for graduation.

History
Founded by it's first Mizukage, the generations before had just built themselves up from nothing, to which they took onto the construction of the village itself, nominating their strongest the shodaime. Through genetic means, the village had in the end found itself into a distaste for others, yet a home for themselves. Even in sight of untrusting villagers, comrades, ready to kill them be it their order, they treat the village itself, as their sacred homeland.

Through this time, little was known of the Mizukage; yet truth be told, his presence strikes a cold shiver down the spine of many. The beginning of a new age; and the start of a new generation.
