A History of Shimagakure
The island village of Shimagakure was founded by Uchiha Ichi in Year 92 with his compatriots Harada Shinichi, Tenmoki Yuki, Hyuuga Nao, Tategami Shuga and Nako Tuhai. In years to come, they would stabilize the village and build an academy to train and teach their children and other inhabitants of Shimagakure. Trade routes were set up, though in such a way to keep the village's location a secret. Uchiha Ichi, who had been made Kage of the village, guarded their home well for years to come.
In Year 98 the Lord of the Land of Fire placed bounties on the heads of Uchida Ichi, Tenmoki Yuki, and Harada Shinichi for being ex-patriots of his lands. The next two years were tense, with the Land of Fire attempting to turn other nations against Shimagakure and its leaders - to no avail. The other nations instead turned to aid Shimagakure and lend their support.
In Year 100, Ichi, Yuki, and Shinichi left Shimagakure to tend to diplomatic calls on the mainland from other nations - only to find out their summons was a trap set by the Land of Fire. While the village leaders were gone, the Land of Fire hired pirates to launch an attack on Shimagakure, only to have the pirates defeated by the higher ranking shinobi of the village. Upon their return, Shimagakure's leaders were filled with pride, and renewed their efforts to protect their home village.
In Year 101, Harada Shinichi and his understudy were sent to the Land of Fire in order to prevent the war that their leader was trying to begin. Though successful, it left Shinichi hanging onto his life by a thread. The Grand Adviser of the Land of Fire was captured, and his memories manipulated by a new ally, Jio Tomoko, who swore allegiance to Shimagakure's Kage. Through this, Shimagakure and the Land of Fire became allies. Around this time, a cannibalistic warlord named Meho Dhan also came to reside on Shimagakure, kept in check by Ichi, Tomoko, and an animal trainer, Natamo.
In Year 102, tensions grew between Shimagakure and the Orochi clan. The theft of a powerful scroll caused Ichi to make the decision to counterattack and retrieve it. In the ensuing battle, Shimagakure emerged victorious - at a heavy cost. Uchiha Ichi was inflicted with Orochi venom, leaving him to become petrified. His body was secretly stolen back from Orochi lands by two young shinobi, and Harada Shinichi was made the new Kage of Shimagakure. It was a time of great sorrow, for many had been loyal to Ichi, and not their home village.
In Years 103-104, nations across the world began to favor shinobi to samurai, leave the warrior class bitter and in ruin. Their decline caused civil wars across nations. In Shimagakure, Ichi's death and Tomoko's disappearance left only Natamo to deal with Meho Dhan - which was not enough. The warlord went on a rampage through the village, and Harada Shinichi - not quite the diplomat his predecessor was - made the decision to kill him. This caused the Meho clan to attack Shimagakure, leaving death and destruction in their path. They were defeated, but the war left many young shinobi dead or orphaned.
In Year 105, an unknown enemy made their way to Shimagakure in order to release the two-tailed beast, Nibi. It awoke in a rampant fury, causing a great deal of destruction over a period of thirteen hours. The shinobi of Shimagakure emerged victorious, though exhausted, and the unknown enemy chose then to strike with strange jutsu. Many of the shinobi were poisoned, allowing enough of a distraction for the enemy to escape. The medical shinobi worked tirelessly to halt the efforts of the poison, but it left an area of Shimagakure uninhabitable - the poison could not be recognized, and therefore, could not be cured. Those infected died or are in a comatose state, and all the while, the samurai on the mainland grow more and more eager to wipe out all shinobi and restore their honor.
In Year 106, with the village crippled, many shinobi dedicated themselves to restoring the home of the island's inhabitants, hoping to find the identity of the group responsible for the attack. The higher ranking shinobi were forced to go on mission to gain money for repairs, while the younger shinobi worked hard to rebuild the village and eliminate the poison that affected both the land and the people on it.
Before trade routes could be reopened and restore prosperity to the island, a deal was made with allies in the Land of Fire to provide naval patrols, in the interest of supporting the efforts of the shinobi to capture the Nibi, who was now viewed as a valuable weapon.

Village structure
Shimagakure needs an even balance of different ranked characters in order to make sure it runs smoothly. Here's the current suggested structure.
1-2 Highest ranked: Jounin-level or above. These two would lead the village and couldn't really afford to leave. Can also teach in the academy. If two, village could probably spare 1 (to lead whichever mission) [Maya? Xyn?]
3-4 Chuunin ranked: One each for ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, medical ninjutsu (Depending on how lucky we are). These specialists can go on missions and also teach their skills to younger shinobi when they're around Shimagakure. The more 'support' ones (genjutsu/medical) can stick around the village more and also work in the academy. [Kane, Sukotto, Sakuran's chara... ??]
3+ students: Make mischief and learn ninja skills XD Be cute and raise hope for the future. [Maia? Aero's chara? Sakuran's other chara?]
