BUT, Taiki should be bringing news of a new Raikage.

Said new Raikage will be known to be radically against the Sandaime's policies, as in he's a bit of a warmonger.
Civil war is any time a country fights itself. Its not a WAR in the sense of a mounting death toll. But it was a war in the sense a ton of Kumo's people rose up, got someone to take down the "Dragon" so to speak, and over throw him.

Its at the very least a military coup.
