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 (http://naruto.viz.com/wiki/Land_of_Earth). As one of the five great ninja villages, Iwagakure has a Kage (http://naruto.viz.com/wiki/Kage) as its leader known as the Tsuchikage (http://naruto.viz.com/wiki/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 (http://naruto.viz.com/wiki/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 buildings 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 Four-Tailed Monkey (http://naruto.viz.com/wiki/Four-Tailed_Monkey) (imbued in Roshi (http://naruto.viz.com/wiki/Roshi)) and Five-Tailed Dolphin Horse (http://naruto.viz.com/wiki/Five-Tailed_Dolphin_Horse) (imbued in Han (http://naruto.viz.com/wiki/Han)) in its possession. Both were eventually captured and extracted by Akatsuki (http://naruto.viz.com/wiki/Akatsuki).
The village was a participant in the Third Great Shinobi World War (http://naruto.viz.com/wiki/Third_Great_Shinobi_World_War), invading Kusagakure (http://naruto.viz.com/wiki/Kusagakure) and fighting against Konohagakure (http://naruto.viz.com/wiki/Konohagakure). The war went well for Iwagakure, almost reaching the border of the Land of Fire (http://naruto.viz.com/wiki/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 (http://naruto.viz.com/wiki/Kannabi_Bridge) and so cutting off Iwagakure's line of supply. It is unknown if there is currently peace between the two villages.
