Land of Rivers

The Land of Rivers does not play any particular role in the story until Pakkun discovers the first known Akatsuki hideout in one of the Land of Rivers' caverns. The hideout was decimated in battle. This was also the country where Raiga Kurosuki came with Ranmaru as a hideout. This country also holds Katabami Kinzan gold mine, village, and processing center. There is an exclusive shop renown as the curry of life shop where Naruto, Neji, Tenten, and Rock Lee came to eat. Other than that this country plays no other role in the series thus far.
