The Hidden Mist Village is located on the central Island of the Land of Water. It was founded by bands of privateers who once terrorized the very shores they would come to protect, entering the service of the Daimyo of the land with promises of wealth and the resources to learn ninjutssu. Kirigakure was built upon the main island of the Land of Water. It is shrouded in mist and dotted with mountainous landscape around it, making it difficult for outsiders to locate at both land and sea.
The uniform issued to Mist shinobi is made of a pinstriped material worn as bracers and greaves. Beneath them they wear a black garb. They sport grey flak jackets and occasionally waist guards.
Year -105
Kumogakure established.
Year -90
Kirigakure is established when the Land of Water Daimyo convinces a number of pirates to band together to serve a common cause.
Year -80
The First Mizukage runs the daimyo of the Land of Water through with their blade. They declare themselves the sole ruler of the island, instilling fear of shinobi not only in their own land, but in the world beyond. It was this incident that began the rallying calls of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to unseat shinobi villages from power. Some still blame Kirigakure for giving birth to the Empire through their treachery.
Year -79
The First Mizukage is killed by the person who would rise to become the Second Mizukage.
Year -75 to -61
The Second Mizukage is done in by the Third Mizukage. The Third's reign was ruthless and filled with paranoia, assassinating would be rivals before they could rise to challenge them.
Year -60
A leviathan from beneath the waves summoned a great tidal wave that destroyed a good portion of Kirigakure's fleet. This crippled Kirigakure for many years, which save many minor nations from its aggressive campaigns. The Third Mizukage passed in the attack.
Year -59 to -34
The Fourth Mizukage was different from their predecessors, chosen as an agent to help rebuild the country. Although it was a time of hardship, the reign of the fourth was seen as a golden age for Kirigakure where most of its fleet was constructed. The fourth Mizukage was the first Mizukage to retire peacefully.
Year -15 to -10
The Fifth Mizukage sends the village to war against Kumogakure over taking control of the Land of Whirlpools and several other Islands. The Taiyou Empire began attacking territories that were held on the main continent and divided the mists attention. Kirigakure ultimately lost the war and its fleets were in disarray.
Year -9 to 0
An opportunist from outside of Kirigakure saw an opportunity to maneuver against the weakened country. The dreaded pirate Blacksail, Kuragari Nara, captured Kirigakure vessels and added them to the front of his fleet. By the time the village understood what was happening, his impressive fleet and crews of pirates trained in ninjutsu had already breeched the village. He defeated the fifth in mortal combat, and with it he won the soul of Kirigakure. Though some still see him as an outsider, no one has successfully challenged him and many think his indomitable nature could return Kirigakure to the spotlight.
Kuragari has shown some diplomatic skills with lands far removed from the range of the territories he hopes to claim, namely the Hidden Rain. The logistics of controlling the southern sea lanes against Imperial ships is a challenge that they have yet to overcome.
Note: 0 on the calendar is the first year in the roleplay, spanning from June 2021 to the end of 2021.
