In general, grinding for a Kai Ni should be left for after the Kai Ni actually came - after all, if the new art is very bad and the stats are low, it will be a huge disappointment after all the grinding you did. Of cource, if you really like the ship girl you'll most likely use her anyway, but that doesn't mean you should be in too big of a hurry for that Kai Ni before the Kai Ni update even arrives.

But well, lvl 70 should be a safe bet. Lvl 60 is also somewhat likely remodel level if the stats gain will be similar to Hatsuharu or Ushio Kai Ni, which I unfortunately see as very probable - Murakumo didn't last for too long, and though I'm not particulary knowledgeable about the matter, I believe she didn't do anything too spectacular in WWII.
