Hoshigakure

Hoshigakure no Sato星隠れの里"Village Hidden Among Stars"

Summary

Hoshigakure was introduced during the Star Guard Mission. It is founded by the First Hoshikage two hundred years before the start of the series and is located in the Land of Bears. It is also one of the lesser-known shinobi villages in the ''Naruto'' universe.

Locations

Crater

The crater was created two hundred years before the founding of the village by the falling meteorite which made a massive crater. In the centre of the crater, a building was constructed to serve as a training ground. It included a pavilion which served as primary training ground and also housed the star. The training ground also included a sleeping hall for the practising genin. The training ground was later destroyed when Akahoshi tried to kill Sumaru and Natsuhi who were inside. The area surrounding the training ground have a number of charred trees and is otherwise barren, since no trees or plants could grow around the vicinity after the meteorite landed.

Hoshikage's Residence

A small three-storied mansion inside Hoshigakure, where the Hoshikage lives, recieves visitors and hands out assignsments and missions. On the front there is a sign which bears the kanji for "Star".

Hotarubi's Grave

The grave that, presumably, was made by Natsuhi for her dead husband. It was located within a large, roughly shuriken-shaped rock, with a large boulder on top, usually concealing the entrance. Natsuhi later hid the star within her husband's coffin, hoping that he would protect it, and thus their son.

Natsuhi's Hideout

The underground hideout of Natsuhi and Hotarubi was situated outside the village, within the nearby forests. After Hotarubi's death, Natsuhi lived there alone for years.

Trivia

  • Several shinobi from this village has been seen using crossbows, hinting that their use may be common in this village.
  • In order to cross the Devil's Ravine safely, shinobi of this village are commonly equipped with gas masks.
  • The anime claims that Hoshigakure was founded 200 years ago, but according to the First Hokage and Obito Uchiha, at this time there was no shinobi village system in place until the Konohagakure was founded by Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. The Kage also didn't exist either until Hashirama Senju became the First Hokage 60 years ago.
