Kirigakure Academy

The Kirigakure Academy (霧隠れ忍者学校 lit. Hidden Mist Academy) is one of the educational buildings in Kirigakure. It is where most of the children who wish to become ninja are taught the basics and other know-how of becoming a shinobi.

At one point in the history of Kirigakure, when it was still known as The Village of Bloody Mist, graduating students were pitted against each other and the remaining survivors are those who eventually graduate to the rank of Genin. This cruel process was made to ensure that the ninjas the academy produce lives up to the village's reputation of being ruthless when it comes to battle.
