Kirigakure
Kirigakure is the hidden village of the Land of Water, with the Mizukage as its leader. The village is surrounded by a thick mist and various mountains, and the majority of its ninja prefer to use water release techniques. The village was founded by the first Mizukage after the warring states period.
The Hidden Mist has a more violent history than other villages, with many conflicts happening within the village because of its caste system. Members of the third case were forced to do the most dangerous missions, and also had to follow Kirigakure’s cruel ninja academy regime. This high level of violence eventually earned the village the name “Village of the Bloody Mist”.
The following era was met with violence as well, as Obito Uchiha placed the Fourth Mizukage under a genjutsu, enabling him to control the village from the shadows. Because of this, the Hidden Mist had a high number of missing-nin.

Important Moments & Characteristics
Kidnapping of Rin Nohara
Rin Nohara was kidnapped by the Hidden Mist to make her a jinchūriki of the 3 Tails, and ultimately release the beast within the Konoha to destroy it. However, this was actually a plot by Madara to manipulate Obito Uchiha into sharing his worldview.
The kidnapping of Rin Nohara would arguably become the most imortant incident in recent history. As it led to Obito fully committing to be Madara’s successor, fulfilling the Eye of The Moon plan after Madara’s death.
Village of the Bloody Mist
The reign of the Fourth Mizukage left a stain on the Hidden Mist, as it was an era of violence, eventually earning the village the name “Village of the Bloody Mist”. Members of the third caste were forced to fight to the death to graduate from the ninja academy.
This era was most likely caused by Obito Uchiha controlling the Fourth Mizukage with a genjutsu. Because of the corruption and bad state of the village, many powerful shinobi left the village, resulting in.a high number of missing-nin. Even several members of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist abandoned Kirigakure.

7 Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist
The swords of the Hidden Mist have been passed down for generations, with all 7 of their wielders forming the 7 Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. They are regarded with respect and fear, as they are the strongest Kirigakure shinobi after the Mizukage. The group’s members have changed many times over the years, and there have also been times where the group was inactive.
