The shinobi village of the Land of Whirlpools. Its ninja were renowned for their fūinjutsu to the point that it led to its destruction in war. The survivors of the village's destruction scattered across the globe. The people of Uzushiogakure were noted to have notoriously long lives, so it gained the title "the village of longevity" (長寿の里, Chōju no Sato).
In terms of appearance, the village seemed to have been composed of several cylindrical buildings, not unlike those of Kirigakure. A wide river seemed to cut through the village and was gapped by large bridges. The surrounding countryside was dominated by steep hills.
Uzushiogakure had close ties with Konohagakure, due to Uzushio's Uzumaki clan and Konoha's Senju clan being distant relatives. Because of this, all chūnin and jōnin vests of Konoha shinobi bear the crest of Uzushiogakure, symbolizing the strong friendship that resided between both villages.
