Iwana (citizen)

is a citizen of the Land of Water.

Background
During his childhood, Iwana was close friends with Yamame. When Kagura Karatachi had moved to their village, Iwana had noticed he isolated himself from the other children, so he and Yamame approached the boy and befriended him.

Great Sea Battle of Kirigakure Arc
Years after leaving the village, Kagura returned and was greeted by Iwana and Yamame. Kagura informed his childhood friends of the threat of the elite forces from the Funato clan, who would pass by their village on their way to Kirigakure. Iwana agreed to help his childhood friend and his allies to help defend the village. Later, Iwana noticed Kyohō Fuefuki cutting down trees by himself, both him and Yamame offered to help him in setting up the village defences. Impressed with his strength, Iwana suggested Kyōho should return to their village once the war with the Funato is over to do some work for them.
