Amegakure

Amegakure no Sato雨隠れの里"Village Hidden by Rain"

Summary

Amegakure is a small but highly industrialised hidden village located in an unnamed country. As its name suggests, it rains almost constantly in Amegakure and the surrounding area. All the water seemingly ends in a large lake that surrounds the village. Ame ninja are said to be notoriously short tempered, while their village trains them to their fullest potential, resulting in the creation of many original techniques. Ame is frequently hired for assassination missions, an area of expertise prized by many countries. A common trait of shinobi from this village is wearing rebreathers. Its shinobi also have a propensity for genjutsu.

Clans

Trivia

  • Twenty-one genin from Amegakure participated in the Chūnin Exams, far more than the other minor villages.
  • In the anime, when Jigen questioned why Kara's research facility was left standing even long after being abandoned, he gave Victor a look of suspicion, who frowned in return.
  • Amegakure's appearance and depiction as a city may take after studies of cities perpetuating rainfall on a greater scale by urban heat sink cycles and weather thermodynamics involving skyscrapers and tall buildings.
