Tsuchikage (Earth-1529)

The Tsuchikage, also known as the Earth Shadow, is the title given to the Kage of Iwagakure. The Tsuchikage has been, during all years and ages, the strongest shinobi in the village. Iwa's shinobi obey the orders of the Tsuchikage without question and hesitation.

Duo to the underhanded tactics employed by their Tsuchikages, such as taking advantage of alliances even in times of peace, Iwagakure and the Land of Earth has gained a poor reputation among the other hidden villages of the five great nations. The Tsuchikage resides in the tallest building of Iwagakure - a massive cone-shaped stone building which bears the kanji for Tsuchi (土).
