Since the war, Kirigakure has been relatively exclusive in foreign affairs with missions being the only exception. From even the academy phase the children that are trained to become shinobi are prepared by their mentors to kill for the betterment of their village. Ruthlessness and nihilism were common traits amongst their deadliest warriors, and have since been prized as traits for assassination roles. Trust is a rare commodity granted to outsiders. Only the clans that rallied under their banner during the last great war are permitted refuge within their walls, save for the most extreme and uncommon cases.

Kirigakure primarily consisted of the Yuki and Hozuki clans, with the Hoshigaki being one of the smaller clans that made up the village's shinobi numbers prior to the war. However, as the war progressed and the villages slowly began to die off or be destroyed, they made exceptions for clans that earned the right. These clans were required to shed blood in the name of Kirigakure, both for its protection and economic longevity. And it was a process that lasted more than a century, with the position of Kage being handed over several times. So much, in fact, that the first Kage after the war decided to start the number tradition all over.

For Kirigakure had received a 'rebirth', in a sense. The Nioyo had risen to the third-tier caste due to their contributions in both economic affairs and in the way of their strong Kekkai Genkai. The Kaguya, fourth-tier caste, for their ferocious ability to fight for their new home--and their willingness to shed their blood in order to preserve it. The Kamizuru, whom battled ferverously to the third-tier caste by assisting against the Aburame clan, whom they were fierce enemies with. The Karasu, whom used their abilities to defend the village from the air, fought their way into the second-tier caste. The Inuzuka found their way next to the Karasu in the second-tier caste with the vigorous use of their ability to bond with their animal companions.

And last but not least, the Hatake clan, the first non-clan family to ever earn the right to establish themselves as an official clan within the Kirigakure forces through their outstanding performance. Despite the lack of a kekkai genkai, or any doujutsu.

All of these new clans made up the new village that was New Kirigakure. However, there are some that still only consider the Yuki, Hozuki and Hoshigaki clans to be the true members of the Village Hidden in the Mist. Even the Kaguya whom received an honor higher than that of Hoshigaki are considered outsiders to the most xenophobic of the elderly members in the village.

For it has only been a decade since the war's end, and the 'first' Mizukage is stepping down to appoint the newest Kage. Nidaime Yari of the Yuki clan.

- Traders born outside of Kirigakure are only trusted to set up business inside of a small, mercenary-protected marketplace outside of the gates.

- Outsiders are only permitted beyond our gates with no less than three Genin, two Chuunin or a Jounin. And only with the permission of a Jounin or higher.

- Techniques (jutsu) are not to be taught to outsiders, nor sold to outsiders.

- Marriage to an outsider is strictly prohibited for shinobi. Civilians must leave the village, permanently, in order to do so.

- Politeness towards traders or foreign officials is encouraged, but friendliness is frowned upon. Establishing a friendship with any outsiders may be punished in any way a Jounin sees fit.
