Kiri is one of the five most powerful shinobi villages and located on the island nation of Mizu no Kuni. The Water has a long history of warfare and being at the mercy of many different shinobi clans within it. Around 150 years ago one of the prior Daimyo started to gather the shinobi of the land to ask them for help in making the country a more stable place. These shinobi began recruiting clans to work for the government, and the major driving force, Ito Atsuno, became the shodaime Mizukage.
The Shodaime would not live to see the country become more stable, and after his premature death one of his two lieutenants would go on to become the Nidaime Mizukage. Nidaime would rules over several decades and go on to prosecute the vast majority of opposing shinobi clans, leading to them joining Kiri, or leaving the country all together. But she would fall in battle at the hands of one of the clans she could not quite stop, the Kaguya.
With the death of the Nidaime, the other lieutenant of Shodaime was chosen to rule. Sanzouba Genji was now the Sandaime Mizukage. His first act was to deal with the Kaguya, pushing them to the outskirts of Kiri. Early in his reign he also put an end to Kiri's graduation exam after seeing what Zabuza did. Sandaime would go on to rule Kiri longer than any other Mizukage, and pulled as many clans with Kekkei Genkai into its walls in order to save them from the massacre as he could.
Over the years, Sanzouba would have a long and prosperous rule. He would stabilize the countries economy, and would triple their fighting force. However, the Godaime Kazekage Gaara kills the Mizukage because of The Mizukage's betrayal of his village. The Mizukage and Gaara had a pact that they would protect each other and not attack each other. The Mizukage ordered 5 ANBU squads to secretly wreck havoc on the village.
So as the village lay in ruins at the Sandaime Mizukage's death, Zaraku Haru, part of the fabled Zaraku clan & the Kiri no Shinobigatana Nananin Shu, would rise through the ranks to claim the title of Yondaime Mizukage, the strongest Mizukage in a century. Stabilizing Mizu no Kuni once again, Zaraku Haru has sent Kirigakure on a personal vendetta of revenge against the Kazekage and Sunagakure.
