The Land of Whirlpools (渦の国, Uzu no Kuni, Viz: Land of Eddies) is where Kushina Uzumaki originates from. It no longer exists, having been destroyed and the rest of the survivors scattered across the globe. The surname Uzumaki was very common in this country.[1] It was located on an island next to the Land of Fire, which was later called the Land of Waves. Decades later the last Uzumaki would unknowingly return to his ancestor's homeland and liberate it from the Gato Corporation.
Uzushiogakure
Main article: Uzushiogakure Uzushiogakure (渦潮隠れの里, Uzushiogakure no Sato, English TV: Hidden Eddy Village, literally meaning: Village Hidden by Whirling Tides) was the shinobi village of the Land of Whirlpools. The people of Uzushiogakure were noted to have notoriously long lives, so it gained the epithet "The Village of Longevity" (長寿の里, Chōju no Sato).[2]
Trivia
- "Uzumaki" means "spiral" or "whirlpool".
