Ama no Hoko

The Ama no Hoko is a massive tower like structure concealed beneath The Hole.

Description
A massive black tower in three segments, the Ama no Hoko can collapse down to be concealed beneath the ground. When active, channels across its surface glow bright red. Panels of its middle section move out on beams, revealing a solid red core and a shaft of red light is emitted from it's top. It is controlled by sound patterns produced by the Saezuri.

History
Hidden for many years beneath Tonika Village, the village's militia was tasked with protecting its activation device. While the village's leader was seemingly the only one aware of the full details of his village's "treasure", when attacked, he dispersed the metal bars which produced the notes for controlling the Ama no Hoko amongst the rest of the militia, ordering them to be disposed of. This clearly displays that he, at least, was aware of the danger posed by the weapon.

Effects
An ancient super weapon of some form, it is capable of releasing vast amounts of energy into the sky above it, adversely effecting the weather. While it's exact purpose is unclear, it was capable of powering up the Nine-Tailed Naruto Clone, causing it to transform into a massive, Orochi-like creature.
