an icy, snow-covered country. It is politically unusual in that it has remained neutral and never been involved in the ninja wars. In fact, the shinobi have a rule since long ago that they would not meddle with the land. Despite this, it is said to have an incredibly strong military which is manned by samurai, instead of ninja. Recently, when Madara Uchiha declared the Fourth Great Shinobi World War, the Land of Iron has joined the Shinobi Alliance and is fully prepared to participate in the war against Madara Uchiha's Eye of the Moon Plan. It is located among three mountains called the Three Wolves (三狼, Sanrō). Its leader is Mifune, the general of the country.

The Kage Summit took place in the Land of Iron due to its security and neutrality, which it has prepared for by strengthening its guard. According to the Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, it has its own distinct culture, and there is "nothing fun about" meeting there. When Sasuke Uchiha attacked the summit, he was declared an international criminal for challenging the five great ninja villages and for meddling with the neutral Land of Iron.
