The Tsuchikage (土影; Literally meaning "Earth Shadow") is the leader of Iwagakure and thus recognised as the most powerful shinobi in the entire village. The Tsuchikage are known for holding true authority, having their shinobi obey every command without hesitation. There have been three Tsuchikage so far in the history of the village. Most of the buildings in this village are comprised of stone with the Tsuchikage resining in the tallest one which has a cone-shaped roof. The building also bears the kanji for Tsuchi (土; Literally meaning "Earth").
