Iwagakure no Sato
Iwagakure no Sato
Iwagakure no Sato, or 'The Village Hidden in Stone', is the shinobi village of the Country of Earth, Tsuchi no Kuni. It is one of the oldest shinobi villages in the world, and may predate Konohagakure no Sato, but the specifics or proof of such an accusation have never been proved, in either direction, so it is viewed as possible truth at best. The village itself is located in the southern-central mountains of the Country of Earth, tucked within a small valley between mountain ranges.
In recent times Iwagakure has also become the seat of power for the Iwagakure Air Federation, a powerful defensive orientated military group. Their first port was built and created in the village itself, and the person that formed it none other than the Tsuchikage.
Miscellaneous
- A good portion of the residential district and outlying land has been taken over by a forest which was artificially created by Alchem Sanji. Comprising the majority of this forest is the Alchem Clan Estate.
- Iwagakure no Sato had been a victum of three invasions within a five year period. Akatsuki Invasion (2104), Kumogakure Invasion (2107), Yukigakure Invasion (2109).
- The village itself is impossible to see from the ground until you literally enter the valley itself. The valley is just large enough to contain the entire village.
