xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxKirigakure is a place enshrouded in a peculiar Mist that is the villages trademark. Another trade mark for the village, hidden in mist, is it's past.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxThe Mist used to be a very unstable country, ravaged with civil war and controlled by dark people who infected the youth with maliciousness.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxUnfortunately it was it's own citizens that paid that price. Many important clans were lost to the stupidity of it all and the results from the war
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxonly the weeding out of all of the malicious was accomplished. From the ashes something new is born and that was it's new nickname.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"The Bloody Mist". It wasn't necessarily a good time in history for the Village Hidden in the Mist but the country was able to unify and use the
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxnickname as a way of asserting itself as a strong village.
