Located in the Land of Sorrow, Kaijinkure no Sato is the hidden village of the land. After the atrocities committed to it by the Leaf Shinobi, it has become a droll militaristic village that only vaguely resembles the once beautiful village of Flames. With color schemes mostly of beige, gray, and black to accompany the distraught appearance of the village, as maintenance is not done so that everyone can be reminded of the leaf's atrocities, and with little frills adorning its sidewalks and thoroughfares, it fully complements the spartan like nature of the inhabitants.
Every citizen of the village is a nin, meaning everyone plays a part in the military. Yet this does not mean that every citizen goes on missions. Missions are strictly reserved for Chunin level shinobi and higher. Genin's do normal chores and run shops, while of course training daily to achieve the level of chunin.
This militaristic way of life was set in place by the villages current leader, Zirikpachi Kido, a highly skilled fighter whose only remaining child is Onimaru Kido. His hatred for the leaf village and what was done to their once great village is evident in his requirements for the citizens. Any criminal or misfit which refuses to do his part, or weak and the feeble villagers who are not suitable to be nin are expelled from the village proper to the countryside to try to scratch a living from the barren salt ridden ground.
