Genbu

In the Land of Lightning, there is a gigantic and ancient turtle that Kumogakure has cared for since its founding. It serves as a training ground for the Kumo ninja, and is described as a moving fortress. Its size is so great that it can host other large animals as well as other natural and man-made structures. It is considered to be the equivalent of Konoha's Forest of Death.

Appearance
The turtle's shell, the "island", has an accumulation of plant life that has grown on it. Despite being described by the Great Toad Sage as a paradise, it is anything but that to humans, with signs of death and battle everywhere and large, ferocious animals populating the island. The Falls of Truth can also be found on the island. The island is protected by a Giant Squid, which attacks anything that approaches, and a high-level barrier technique. In addition, the island can move, making it impossible to find without air reconnaissance. The turtle itself is one of the largest cretures in Naruto, surpassing the tailed beasts and the Sannins summons in size.

History
A and Killer Bee trained on the island when they were younger. While there, Bee tamed and befriended all the animals on the island. He now has a vacation home there. When the Fourth Great Shinobi World War begins, the Shinobi Alliance sends Bee and Naruto Uzumaki, the only two remaining jinchūriki, to the island to be hidden from Akatsuki.

A number of Konoha ninja accompany Naruto as extra protection, including Might Guy, Aoba Yamashiro and Yamato, with Motoi serves as a guide for all of them. The official cover-story for Naruto's presense on the island is that he's "examining the island's ecology." Kisame Hoshigaki was also on the island, hiding inside the Samehada, which Bee has taken after their battle, until Naruto discovered him and forced him to escape. Motoi noted that if Kisame passes through the barrier, they will no longer be able to track him down. Though Kisame was ultimately forced to commit suicide, his messenger shark managed to take a scroll of information off the island to Madara, which resulted in the island needing to move to a safer location.

While moving, the turtle has been intercepted by Manda 2.0, who bit its tail to prevent it from moving. After that, Kabuto Yakushi ordered the newly-revived Deidara to implant a giant clay jellyfish bomb, which flipped the turtle upside down.

Later, Naruto is seen taking a 'survey' of the islands giant animals, under the impression that it was part of his 'mission'. However Manda attacks the giant turtles tail causing it to yell out, revealing its location to Kabuto. Through a combination of Manda 2's strength and an explosive from Deidara, the turtle was flipped over on its back and made unable to swim. This allowed Kabuto and the Tsuchikage's party to land on its belly.

Trivia

 * Due to the apes and the very obscure settings on the island, it might be a reference to Skull Island from the 1933 film King Kong. Killer Bee also affectionately calls an ape "King", a possible reference to the film's title character.
