<em>Deep within the Water country, lies the village hidden in the Mist. It's namesake drapes itself over and around the buildings in the village, with mountains backing up one side. The village is eerily quiet, as if the ongoing civil war has suddenly paused. There is obvious damage to quite a few of the buildings, smears of blood here and there on the ground and on walls, and disposed kunai and shuriken littered all over the place, but no bodies. Every now and then a carrion bird can be heard quarking in the distance, but whether or not this is ninja communication-code is unclear.</em>
