Land of Whirlpools

|渦の国|Uzu no Kuni}}. Kushina Uzumaki was a kunoichi who hailed from this country. It is unclear if she was a ninja in a village located in this country or elsewhere. She came to Konoha as a refugee from this country. It appears the Whirlpool Country no longer exists as an independent entity, as it has been referred to in the past tense, as the 'former' Whirlpool Country. Due the lack of information, fans often assume that the major geographic feature is possibly likely multiple whirlpools and that "Uzumaki" might in fact be the major clan name. It is also very possible that most of the ninja mostly use Water jutsu as well, possibly whirlpool-based. Fans also assume that since "Uzumaki" means "spiral" or "whirlpool" that the Uzumaki's might have been the Daimyos of this country. She was from the Uzumaki clan. Her father Harikeen Uzumaki was the leader of the clan. Most of the clan's nature type is water. Their signature technique is Water Release: Grand Wave Technique. Kushina developed her own variation of Water Release: Grand Wave Technique called Water Release: Needle Spray Wave Technique. It is like Water Release: Grand Wave Technique, but the wave contains ice needles and stabs the opponent many times
