Welcome to Gaia! ::

Iwagakure no Sato (Hidden Rock Village)
Tsuchi no Kuni (Land of Earth)

As one of the five great ninja villages, Iwagakure has a Kage as leader. Little is known about it, but it stands to reason that its ninja specialise in earth jutsu. In the past, the village was at war with Konohagakure no Sato, the war in which the Kakashi Gaiden arc took place.
One of its S-class missing-nin, Deidara (now part of the organization Akatsuki) has mouths in both hands that enable him to manipulate chakra-enhanced clay. He molds the clay into animal-like sculptures that he can use to fly or create a nuke-like bomb.

(This is where you can officially RP the goings on of this village, as well as any characters from it. And of course, it will be interactive with other official village RPs, etc., once a solid plot is going.)

The plot thus far... The same time frame as in the other official RPs- a little after Sasuke has left. Um, not much more than that..

Dressed as a down-on-his-luck travelling merchant, Ai keeps her straw hat pulled low over her eyes as she scans the infamous Hidden Stone village. Having heard so many tales from the jounins and older residents of Konoha about the ferocious and bloody wars these two villages have had with eachother, the fifteen year old had been somewhat expecting the faces of Hidden Stone to be set in stern and unforgiving lines. For there to be no laughter, and certainly no signs of kindness to both eachother and outsiders.

But, beyond the different style of buildings and clothes, these villagers could have just as easily come from Hidden Leaf or her allied village of Hidden Sand.

Because relations between the rock and leaf villages continued to be strained, the teenager had thought it a good idea to seek refuge - if even for only a short time - within the borders of this village.

"Excuse me, nee-san," calls Chishio Ai, keeping her voice low and gruff to maintain the illusion of being a middle-aged man. "Could you tell me where to find the nearest hotel?"

Chuckling a bit, the old woman smiles, revealing a missing tooth in what would otherwise be a sweet smile.
"Nee-san? Watashi ka? That is a fine thing to hear from a man as young as yourself. The nearest hotel is just down the next left branch, but the best value for money is further into town, within sight of the Kage's residence. Just look for the sign of a spring coming from a stone."

Thanking the old lady, I turn and make my leave.
