History

Iwagakure Symbol

The Iwagakure Symbol.

Around the time of the First Shinobi World War, the First Hokage distributed the tailed beasts to the Five Great Shinobi Countries as peace offerings to ensure balance amongst the nations. Although it is unknown which, or how many tailed beasts were given, the Four-Tails and Five-Tails were in Iwagakure's possession before their capture by the Akatsuki.

Iwagakure played a small role during the Second Shinobi World War. The Third Shinobi World War would later make up for this, as Iwagakure became the main focus of the war doing battle against Konohagakure across Kusagakure. Due to their close proximity, Sunagakure and Iwagakure have had many battles over the years, resulting in a bitter enmity between the two villages and their ninja that they are slow to relinquish.

In the past, the Tsuchikage were known for using underhanded tactics to win against their enemies. This included maintaining a strong military strength in times of peace. Iwa had in the past used their infamous Kamizuru clan to guide them in the battlefield. After the invasion of Konoha led by Orochimaru, Iwa took the opportunity to strike back by deploying an extensive number of genin led by an Iwagakure jōnin to attack Kohona while it was still reeling from the death of the Third Hokage. Ten years before the Fourth Shinobi World War, Kirigakure requested Iwa's assistance in retrieving valuable documents stolen during Kumo's time of lust for power. Shortly after the documents were retrieved, the group of Iwa-nin betrayed Kiri on the orders of the Tsuchikage. This betrayal led to years of tension between Iwa and Kiri before the situation was settled, just short of the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War. After the declaration of the Fourth Shinobi World War by Tobi, the Tsuchikage declared the creation of the very first Shinobi Alliance.

Recent Developments

The Sixth Tsuchikage was a brilliant master tactician and expert fighter. She was called the “Mad Maiden” as she enjoyed bloodshed and combat, but was otherwise known to have a kind demeanor outside of combat. She had the Explosion Release Kekkei Genkai and loved to utilize it as often as possible. Her name was Mika Nori, and at the age of twelve she became the youngest Kage ever. Despite her prodigy in battle, she didn't take care of the village politics, leaving all important work to her assistant, Izura Komui.

While Mika Nori was the Tsuchikage, the village was attacked by several masked individuals and the Tsuchikage and village elders were attacked. The leader revealed himself to be Orr Tann, and with two other associates he managed to kill the village elders. Some time later, Izura Komui was killed by Masura during the Kage summit, essentially leaving the village entirely under Mika Nori's command, and in dubious hands due to Mika's lack of experience with the day to day workings of her office. Her assistant was quickly replaced by Nobu, who then usurped command of Iwagakure and assumed the title of Tsuchikage when it was suspected that Mika Nori was under the control of the then-Raikage, Masura.

The people are poor and most have to join the military by force, otherwise their family would go without. Iwagakure faces several problems outside of the village. The first is a terrorist that has been attacking smaller villages. She has recently revealed herself as a woman named Abari. Abari and her army took over a key military point in the Land of Earth before settling in and resting quietly, plotting their next move.
