Not long after Ōnoki gave up his position as Tsuchikage, Ryoku had Ōnoki Assassinated by a few squads of his ROCK division, so to make sure that the old Kage would not try and retake power with any Shinobi's that were still loyal to him. After which for nearly twenty years he ruled Iwa with an Iron fist and had increased it military power, strength and forces and waited for the right time to attack and destroy Konoha as revenge for his humiliation at their hands.
After the failed attack on Konoha by Oto and Suna he had planned to attack Konoha when it was weakened but before he could fully assembled his forces, he had learned that Konoha had re-established it Alliance with Suna. Since it was learned that Orochimaru had killed the Yondaime Kazekage and tricked Suna into attacking Konoha. He had also learned that Konoha had made Tsuande their Godaime Hokage and her old teammate Jiraiya had returned to the village to help her. When he learned this he cancelled all plans to attack Konoha since he knew that alone Iwa would stand no chance against two of the five major Shinobi Nations. Even if they had been weakened slightly he also knew that he stood no chance against two of the three Sannin (both being Kage level) by himself. Hence when Orochimaru sent him a message offering him the chance to destroy Konoha he took it, since although he did not like or trust the Snake Sannin, he knew that if he wanted to destroy Konoha he need the man's help as well as the help of others to do it.
Behind Ryoku were two of his best Shinobi's one of them was a young women named Kurotsuchi who was one of Iwa's top Kunoichi. While the other was Ryoku sonBerugu who was very much like his father in terms of beliefs and attitude. He was also quite cunning and very ambitious and desired to prove Iwa as the strongest of the Shinobi Nations. He was bulky and well built and had shoulder length black hair much like his father and wore the standard uniform of a Iwa Jonin he also carried a massive Zanbato on his back.
Sitting next to The Tsuchikage was The Godaime Mizukage Shio he was a middle age man with long brown hair and wore a blue samurai like armour with a black cape. He was a fanatic about war and got sadistic pleasure to see his enemies crushed or being tortured. He was also well known to treat his underlings as noting but tools and did not care how many he lost as long as he won. He was especially well known for being unforgiving when any of his Commanders or underlings failed him and would kill them and the entire families if they failed him.
Shiro was also a powerful and well known Shinobi of Kiri before he became Mizukage his skill and mastery in Suiton Jutsu and was know as the Suiton Specialist. It was said that his Suiton skills rivalled that of theNidaime Hokage making him the strongest Suiton Jutsu user in Kiri. The only person that could actually rival his skill in with Suiton skill wasHoshigaki Kisame.
Shio was not a well like man in Kiri due to he took power over Kirigakure after Yondaime Mizukage and Jinchūriki of Sanbi no Kyodaigame (Three-Tailed Giant Turtle) Yagura died (about two years after the attempted coup by Zabuza). When a group of elder Shinobi's who wanted to end the bloody reign of The Yondaime Mizukage used a special Jutsu to separate the Sanbi no Kyodaigame from Yagura which resulted in his death.
After Yagura death, Shio quickly used his position as commander of Kiri HYDRA (Kiri version of ANBU) division to place himself as The Godaime Mizukage, with his HYDRA division backing him hence no-one could stop him. After he took over he began to raise Kiri military power, strength and forces as well as hunting down all political enemies, and continued to try and exterminate all Bloodline users (since he believed that they all should be purge from the world).
He also started to cut funds from almost everything in the village and devoted all their funds and resources to the military. This of course resulted in life in Kiri to be very hard where many people had either to choices, they either become a Ninja or work in a factory making weapons or they and their families would starve with no food or money. It was because of this reason why a small Civil War had started in Kiri, where Rebel Shinobi and non Shinobi Factions rose against him. But could do little to him other that make raids and do guerrilla tactics against both him and the Mizu Daimyo, (who supported whatever The Mizukage did as long as The Mizukage supported him in turn and get rid of his enemies and help him stay in power and become more powerful as well). This was because the Rebel Factions did not fight as an organise force and had limited numbers as well as limited supplies and weapons to fight with.
Behind Shio were two Shinobi's one of them was Isurugi Raijūta the last remaining loyal member of the current Kiri no Shinobigatana Nananin Shū (Seven Swordsmen of the Mist), who was also his most loyal and most trusted Shinobi under his command. The other person was another man called Udo Jinne who commanded the HYDRA division after Shio became The Godaime Mizukage. Jinne otherwise know as Kurogasa (Black Hat due to the fact that he always seen wearing a black hat and cloak), was a feared and well know Assassin he was especially well know for his mastery of the Assassin sword style Nikaidō Heihō.
Udo Jinne was a tall tin man with and narrow face he was also a sadistic man through and through since he loved killing, he was only truly happy when slitting the necks of people he was sent to kill. He did not have any moral issues with what he had done and did not care who it was he had to kill whether it be men, women or children as long as he just got to kill. He especially enjoyed fighting strong an opponents since he believed that the stronger the opponent the better the fight and the better the fight the more enjoyable the kill.
