So is snow release going to be a thing in this Fic? Because Ice release is a Yuki clan exclusive. Oh! They should definitely escape to Hidden Snow when they start getting hunted.
The closest info we have is the 4th war where its stated the alliance has 80k forces. Divided by 6(5 villages + samurai) is 13.3k combatants per village. We also know genin(at least young ones) weren’t allowed to join. So round up to about 15k total for the village. Assuming about 20 years to fully replace forces because of aging, attrition, having kids, injury etc you would need 750 new ninja per year. Those are approximate numbers for a major village. Sand and mist would have less while cloud and stone would have more. For a minor village its probably 50-5000 depending on the village. That one filler where the women loses to naruto and wants to marry him is probably 100 or less. Snow maybe 300. Grass maybe 3k. Rain probably 5k.
Considering its a snowy country? I imagine it has smaller numbers than the average Minor Hidden Village since scarce resources. In return, they're probably smarter and stronger considering the very hostile environment.
