The Land of Lightning (雷の国, Kaminari no Kuni) is located on a peninsula north-east of the Land of Fire and is one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries. In the center of the country are vast mountain ranges, whose many thunderstorms are said to give the country its name. From these mountain ranges, many rivers flow to the sea, creating a very crooked coastline that displays an impressive oceanic beauty. There are many hot springs located within the country. The country’s western border with the Land of Frost has a large desert.[1]

Genbu (ゲンブ), more commonly known as the Island Turtle (島亀, Shimagame), is a gigantic and ancient domesticated turtle that resides in the Land of Lightning. Since Kumogakure’s founding they have cared for Genbu who has in turn served as a training ground for the shinobi. Genbu is described as a moving fortress whose size is so great, that it can host other large animals as well as other natural and manmade structures. It is considered to be the equivalent of Konohagakure’s Forest of Death.
