Five Great Shinobi Nations		Topics	Posts	Last Posts
	Konohagakure Konohagakure (木ノ葉隠れの里, Konohagakure; Literally meaning "Village Hidden Among Tree Leaves"; also known as "Village Hidden in the Leaves" or "Hidden Leaf Village"), or Konoha for short, is one of the five great ninja villages, and said to be the mightiest of the five. As such, it is one of five villages with a Kage as its leader, known as the Hokage. On a mountain overlooking the villages from the north exists the Hokage Monument. The village resides in the Land of Fire. Although Konoha, much like the country in which it resides, has been peaceful for the past sixteen years, and has grown accustomed to that peace, it remains one of the most powerful villages in existence, and has great military power and influence.	0	0
	Sunagakure Sunagakure (砂隠れの里, Sunagakure; Literally meaning "Village Hidden in the Sand") is the hidden village of the Land of Wind. As one of the five great ninja villages, Sunagakure has a Kage as its leader known as the Kazekage. The ninja from this village seem to specialize in Wind Release techniques and the Puppet Technique. Shinobi from Sunagakure believe that the accomplishment of a mission predominates the lives of the ninja trying to accomplish it.	0	0
	Iwagakure Iwagakure (岩隠れの里, Iwagakure; English TV "Hidden Stone Village"; Literally meaning "Village Hidden in the Rocks") is the hidden village of the Land of Earth. As one of the five great ninja villages, Iwagakure has a Kage as its leader known as the Tsuchikage. Its symbol is made of two rocks, with a smaller one in front of a larger one. The ninja from this village seem to specialize in Earth Release techniques. Iwagakure is well-known for the rock-hard attitude of its shinobi. As soon as the Tsuchikage gives an order, the Iwa-nin do so without hesitating, even if it means death. The rocky mountain ranges that surround the village and country provide a natural stronghold. The village profits from this advantageous position and is proud of its strong defenses.The village sits among a mountain range, with the building being composed of rock and stone; many of its buildings sit on cliffs connected by a network of bridges. The Tsuchikage's palace seems to be the tallest structure with a cone shaped roof. The village at one time had the Five-Tailed Dolphin Horse and Four-Tailed Monkey in its possession. The village was a participant in the Third Great Shinobi World War, invading Kusagakure and fighting against Konohagakure. The war went well for Iwagakure, almost reaching the border of the Land of Fire. However, despite their military power having hit an all-time low, Konohagakure managed to turn the tide of the war by destroying the Kannabi Bridge and so cutting off Iwagakure's line of supply. It is unknown if there is currently peace between the two villages.	0	0
	Kumogakure Kumogakure (雲隠れの里, Kumogakure no Sato; Literally meaning "Village Hidden in the Clouds") is the hidden village of the Land of Lightning. As one of the five great ninja villages, Kumogakure has a Kage as its leader known as the Raikage. The ninja from this village seem to specialize in Lightning Release techniques. They also seem to favor the use of japanese-style swords (or katanas) as standard weapons instead of the typical kunai that most shinobi wields; and as a result, most Kumogakure ninjas seem to excel at swordsmanship. It is located on a high mountain, literally hidden in the clouds. The Raikage lives in a big building built into the tallest mountain.	0	0
	Amegakure Amegakure (雨隠れの里, Amegakure; Literally meaning "Village Hidden in Rain"), also known as Hidden Rain Village, is a small yet highly industrialized hidden village located in an unnamed country. It seems to be a rather loosely knit village, befitting the destabilized country, as a fair number of its ninja seem to either be missing-nin or end up as missing-nin, as the infamous Akatsuki leader Nagato and his partner Konan originate from this village. Its symbol is composed of four parallel vertical lines, resembling rain.	0	0
