Waking War
The period between 2111-2114 of the Waking War is the time in which many Mizu no Kuni nobles and activities parties fought over gaining the influence of the shaky Kirigakure government. There were many Daimyos who thought they would be fit for the job, some crime bosses and a few prolific artists, seeking to give the seat a more 'enlightened' aura. Needless to say, all of their efforts were futile, for the Kirigakure Council could not decide on a Mizukage candidate. While the actual violence was little (mildly alarming on normal village's scales) and most of the debate was political, there were still deaths involved.
Waking Those Slumbered
Meanwhile, DEATH had become more recluse, biding their time and building their forces. Sekiryuu Minasoko had dreams of becoming the leader that Kirigakure needed, one to end the bickering and unite under the same banner once again. He sought to resurrect the old name of Chigiri no Sato that would embody his own era. DEATH had even managed to ascertain a secret weapon, the Jinchuuriki of the Sanbi- the five tailed demon but they lacked the means to control it.
