Iwagakure
Original Iwagakure
Known as Iwagakure no Sato or the
Hidden Rock Village, this place lies in the Earth Country. Iwagakure is one of the largest and most powerful villages and therefore, Earth Country is considered one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries. Led by the Tsuchikage, the village is constantly in unstable conditions or waging war against the Leaf Ninja of Konohagakure.
There are few people that are known to be from the Iwagakure. The main one of note is Deidara, the shinobi who became a missing-nin of Iwagakure and joined the Akatsuki. The other shinobi of note are the Kamizuru Clan. For many years the Kamizuru Clan were the dominant clan of the Hidden Rock Village. They were part of the leading attack on Konoha, but ended up getting massacred in an invasion attempt. Now Jibachi, Kurobachi and Suzumebachi have sought out the Bikouchuu birthing grounds in a struggle to re-establish their great clan.
