In a campaign I'm running(set in Kaminari no Kiri) I started it with the players(all starting as mid rank genins) by having them at a meeting where team pairings were being announced(just by having one of the jounin of the village read the pairings off of a scroll, rather then anything fancy).
from a gm perspective, I decided that it might make the village wary, as some of the sightings reported one of the foreign shinobi being a missing-nin, though the village leaders decided to keep that part secret from the populace.
