Mist swirled and fog billowed.
Through the hazy air, one could vaguely make out peculiar buildings resembling those in Bikini Bottom. An atmosphere of terror and oppression permeated the entire village.
This was Kirigakure, known as the Village of the Bloody Mist.
Kirigakure's unique charm was something one had to experience firsthand.
Ever since the Third Mizukage implemented the Bloody Mist policies, the entire village had been hurtling towards an abyss of madness and destruction.
Whether other villages were free or democratic was a separate matter, but most were meritocratic. Clans with powerful Kekkei Genkai were often respected and admired, forming an integral part of the village's structure.
However, Kirigakure was different.
It had a distinct class system, with social hierarchy determined by lineage, not ability.
In Gojo Kaigetsu's words, Kirigakure's hierarchy could be roughly divided into three classes: Brahmins, Kshatriyas, and Vaishyas!
The native inhabitants of Kirigakure held the highest status, represented by the Mizukage's advisor, the elders - the Brahmins of Kirigakure.
Next were the families and individuals who had earned prominence and a voice through distinguished service in the long history of Kirigakure's wars.
At the bottom were the Kekkei Genkai clans absorbed by Kirigakure, the ordinary ninja clans... They were assigned the most dangerous missions, treated as mere tools, even less valued than ninja hounds.
One of the graduation requirements for the Kirigakure Ninja Academy was to kill a classmate.
Considering all this, Gojo Kaigetsu's "Anti-Terrorism Declaration" wasn't entirely slander; it merely exposed and magnified the reality of Kirigakure.
Through such extreme internal attrition policies, Kirigakure gradually declined.
The milestone of this decline was arguably during the Third Shinobi World War when Might Duy single-handedly decimated the Seven Mist Swordsmen.
Due to its isolationist policies, the flow of information into Kirigakure was significantly slower compared to other villages.
...
...
However, the oppressive and bloody policies couldn't extinguish the flames of ambition and change burning within the hearts of progressive ninjas.
Seventeen-year-old Kisame Hoshigaki sat brooding in his home.
Kisame was a true ninja, prioritizing missions above all else. He was ruthless in achieving his objectives and absolutely loyal to the Mizukage and the village.
For years, he had dutifully carried out unimaginable tasks for Kirigakure. On occasion, to complete his missions, he had even resorted to killing his comrades to prevent them from falling into enemy hands and revealing information.
He had even killed the only female ninja who understood him. But before her death, she didn't blame him, instead uttering the words, "Your life has been hard, hasn't it?" These words plunged Kisame into deep contemplation.
Just yesterday, he had eliminated his former superior, Fuguki Suikazan.
The reason for the assassination... Fuguki had been exposed for selling information to Kumogakure, resulting in a warrant for his arrest issued by the Fourth Mizukage.
