A traumatic time for Kirigakure
From fires to internal conflicts and then the death of Yuki, Senso...
It hasn't been a quiet couple of weeks in Kirigakure; things have truly gone from one to eleven from the advent of newly brewed problems. Will Kirigakure get over them? The people aren't so sure, but what they are sure! Is that if they, the shinobi of the village manage to overcome these new problems, be it the cult, be it the internal strife between castes or be it the new hostile force that threatens Kirigakure... That the village certainly will have a reputation of being tenacious! To be feared. And to put it even more bluntly; the village is likely to increase it's reputation should things go smoothly.
Articles of interest:
A mission report has been made public for any Shinobi to read about the skirmish against the cultists
But what happened the other night ago? From what people are still piecing together, it'd seem a hostile faction known only as 'Abyss' has declared war on Kirigakure; this was done with the destruction of the Yuki's clan estate, along with the death of Yuki, Senso! The Clan's head. The village is not sure how the Yuki will recover from this, but thankfully Yuki, Heiwa survived her wounds at the scene of the atrocities.
To further iterate...
After the battle at the Kirigakure gates were done and dusted; plenty of genin assisting in striking back the swarm of thugs, bandits, rogue shinobi and mercenaries hired by this hostile faction! An unknown man had carried out a most vile crime.
To which the Mizukage had to come down and personally deal with the newfound threat that had invaded the village briefly. Said threat was on par with the man but eventually gave ground and retreated. Prior to the Mizukage's arrival, this unknown man was able to commit to the acts of destroying most of the Yuki estate, killing several people including Yuki, Senso and injuring several more, of which included Yuki, Heiwa. The motives for this are mostly unknown to the public, same with the man's name; the shinobi have not been so forthcoming with information, for the safety of the village perhaps. Yet despite this, word had reached the civilians' ears that, war has been declared against Kirigakure and it's peoples.
Upon this news arriving, there have been several reports that within the region, plenty of bandit groups and criminal organizations have gone dark; not only would this free up resources that Kirigakure has been using on the field of various Chūnin and Jōnin against these criminals and bandits. Which is fortunate but also worrying; with no bandits and criminals surrounding the islands around Kirigakure now being active, this would mean those settlements and pieces of land would fall under control of this 'Abyss' faction.
However it would seem in other regions, such as the Land of Wind, things are not so certain there either. Of course that is worldly news and is likely to be published very soon.
However! In other news; something more positive. A blow has been struck against the Cult of the Cabal! One of the six grand wizards that lead the cult, has been assassinated by Moubu Tadimaru! Assumed dead by his comrades in a mission gone south, he was able to at least, after the mission had been failed; somehow strike down one of the leader figures. It is said there are at any one time, six of these elusive individuals. However, the Mumei-No-Mure is calling it an absolute failure of a mission, on both their own part and of those that were taken onto the mission; their information had been off the mark and the tactics used by the genin weren't appropriate for the task at hand. They had lost a valuable scout during the mission, killed by a stray bolt of katon as detailed in the mission report published by Kaguya, Kajiuuzan.
