Namigakure (LYZ)

Namigakure (波隠れの里, Namigakure no Sato, Literally meaning: Village Hidden by Waves) is an underwater hidden village located within the Land of ???. It is apart of the Five Great Shinobi Countries, where it has its own Kage: the Umikage. Within the history of the village, there have only been four to hold the position. Due to the village being hidden under the water, those that are not native to the village are not likely to know how to enter the village, making the village a near safe haven for its residents. Within Namigakure, it is very common for one to move around via bubbles, as houses are generally encased by bubbles and suspended in the air; this method is also the most common way to get within the village. The village itself is completely surrounded by ocean, but is not flooded by water due to a massive bubble around it. Uniquely, Namigakure has its own ocean surrounding the village, where the water is completely pure and filled with aquatic animals, making it easy for fishermen to fish or for those that wish to use the water for activities such as cooking.

Namigakure, for those that have been able to visit the village, has often been regarded as one of the more beautiful villages, as its structure has very different colors and primarily seem to be made of a type of marble. Despite having the lowest population of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Namigakure is known to have a powerful military force, often winning against wars against other shinobi countries due to their power and territory. Namigakure-born shinobi are most commonly seen using Water Release, and often have an affinity for it.
