Founded by the First Mizukage, the Academy’'s goal has been to teach future generations of Kirigakure shinobi. Due to a generous trust fund set up by the four noble clans, all studies are free and the academy accepts any student which applies. Even though entrance is essentially assured, remaining a student of the academy requires dedication. Students are routinely put through rigorous physical and mental challenges to ascertain their progress and whether or not they deserve to remain in the academy. Once known as the “Village of the Bloody Mist” because of the exit exams which put student against student in bouts to the death, the abolition of said practice has only intensified the training received. Constant monitoring allows instructors to single out those showing promise in Kenjutsu or Iryōjutsu for future placement in applicable programs upon graduation.
