Kirigakure

Original Water Country

Water Country is one of the smaller shinobi countries. It is a watery island, far from most others. In Water Country lies Kirigakure no Sato, one of the strongest ninja villages in the world. Most wars that the Water Country faces are civil wars within it's own borders. Most of the clans of Water Country have been wiped out or slaughtered by the citizens after the citizens blamed them for power struggles.

The characters of note are of course the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. They are the elite, large sword carrying ninja who perform covert opetaions. Three of their key members, Hoshigaki Kisame, Momochi Zabuza and Kurosiki Raiga, have all left the Seven Swordsmen and have become missing nin of the Hidden Mist (Zabuza leaving with Haku, Kisame joining Akatsuki, and Raiga fleeing with Ranmaru).
