What's happening around and within Kirigakure!
Up until recently, the village had been quite quiet
With word being recently sent out from Kirigakure to the Water Daimyō, that the next generation of Genin are more than fully prepared to tackle both Kirigakure's and the nation's issues, things seem to be improving for the Land of Water. If anything the recent graduation ceremony has reached the right ears within the Shinobi world, with figures including but not limited to, Muto, Soshu, a talented blacksmith from the Land of Water's capital, Mizu no Shuto, is promising to visit the village sometime in the future to teach Kirigakure's civilians some trade secrets, as well as select Kiri-nin that show promise.
It is also said that Okori, Nagi, a expert in Taijutsu and Chakra Control techniques that hails from Amegakure is also said to be making rounds around the Shinobi world, both to test local talent and showcase her abilities to the world; a rare case she is, as a freelancing 'agent' or mercenary, is slated to visit Kirigakure sometime next year by the latest, if not sooner.
Not everything is sunshine and daises within The Land of Water
However, for every good thing, there is a bad thing occurring within The Land of Water; most recently, a group of zealous cult-like individuals had been apprehended and dealt with by some of Kirigakure's Chūnin within an unnamed village near the nation's eastern coast. Reports reached the Water Daimyō's ears only three months ago, and only since last week had any steps been taken to investigate and within the same sweep, deal with the problem. It is unsure what exactly the individuals that had been executed, were planning, but it was far from pleasant given the stockpile of weapons later found within the homes of each of the cult members. It is likely they were planning to overthrow the local authority and declare the village which shall continue to be unnamed, as a rogue state within the nation.
Those within The Land of Water are to be warned of suspicious individuals that may or may not be lurking around and if that they spot any foul play, to report it to the nearest local authority. As for Kirigakure, this couldn't be more of a riper opportunity, given the talks of the Mizukage opting to train up an elite taskforce, whilst the training of the village's police force is underway; it should give the Genin, if the higher-ups are occupied, something to busy themselves with.
