Land of Water
Land of Water
The Land of Water is composed of many islands, each with its own unique traditions. The weather of the land is primarily cool and misty, with frequent rain showers. On the islands themselves there are often lakes of varying sizes, and temperatures on northern islands can range low enough to match the Land of Snow's frigid, frozen temperatures. Due to its secretive nature, little is known by outsiders about many of the islands in the Land of Water. In terms of landmass, the Land of Water has the smallest amount of the five great countries, and historically has been known for fighting more with itself than with other countries. The Land of Water possesses two Jinchuuriki, the three and six tails. As the three tails is the Mizukage, the six tails is usually kept secret.
Hidden Village - Kirigakure
Village Information | Village Map & Points of Interest
The Village Hidden by the Mist gains its name by the permanent thick fog that settles all across the island that the hidden village is stationed on. By the same coin, within the village, the sunrises often turn the mist a deep red color, which lends partially to the nickname of 'The Bloody Mist'. While the fog would usually dissipate during short periods of the year, villagers manipulate water chakra to keep themselves perpetually shrouded in mist. Scattered mountains fill the island, creating a maze that makes it very difficult for outsiders to locate the village proper, and often lead invading armies into traps or disadvantageous positions. Buildings in Kirigakure are almost exclusively brick, squat, and round. Most buildings have some level of moss or plant overgrowth designed to help the village appear abandoned, and taller buildings have trees growing out of the top of them, to throw off those who might otherwise catch glimpses of the buildings in the distance.
The Mizukage's building is the widest and largest building in the village, tucked against a mountain. The village itself is heavily segregated into sections, with stone walls separating each section and preventing even welcome visitors from witnessing the majority of the village. Shinobi of the village have strong senses of self-preservation, and are widely known to be extremely duplicitous. Loyalty to the Mizukage is primarily secured through fear, and through the Mizukage's elite forces. Defection and escape from the village is so common that Kirigakure possess the largest and most highly trained division of hunter-nin (ANBU dedicated to hunting down and disposing of missing-nin) in the shinobi world. It's generally known that disobeying an order from a higher ranking shinobi, regardless of its importance, will result in an extreme punishment. Kirigakure is the most secretive of the primary five nations, and is almost as difficult to get information by the public as Amegakure.
Mokuzu Island
An island where travelers resupply their stocks and weapons between Water and the various other surrounding countries. The island is shaped like a crescent moon, but much smaller than the other moon island. The two sides of the island almost form a closed circle, which allows for an almost perfectly calm bay for the port. Strangely, many ships who stop by the port to resupply vanish completely.
Funsui
The civilian capital of the Land of Water. The exact location is rarely known by outsiders, due to the Land of Water's secretive nature.
Port Island
An island that serves as a neutral port city between Lightning and Water, it is technically independent, but receives military support from the Land of Water when necessary. It primarily serves as an in-between for trade with Water and Lightning when goods can't be shipped directly.
