| abstract | - While it has been ruled by a Tsuchikage for most of its existence, ever since the disposal of Mirashī, a village head stands at the top of the village, chosen by the people. With the former's actions throwing the country into an economic crisis and the other Shinobi countries turning their backs because of them, the Daimyō saw no other choice but to rely on their long-standing treaty with Magoseong, the capital of their northern neighbor Yulryeo. Almost as if he had expected this, the king gladly offered economic, financial and even military support to the land in peril. However, with every gesture of generosity Iwagakure and the Land of Earth slowly saw its independence slip away, until they were really nothing more than a glorified satellite state to the north.
