Tied with Suna for smallest population of the major villages, it maintains a ninja force equal to Konoha. During the reign of the Sandaime Mizukage, the village's special forces corps became a majority Hunter Ninja force as part of the bloodline purges. The Civil War didn't assist with organization either, leading Kiri to have a fairly lean set-up by the time the war ended.
After the Civil War, Kiri rebuilt and decided that the lean design worked well for their situation. The largest change since then is a slow move to shrink the Hunter Ninja totals and increase other special forces unit sizes since Kiri ninja had largely stopped going missing-nin by that point, reducing the need for large numbers of ninja dedicate to hunting them.
