Description[]
A country to the south of the Land of Fire. It is very mountainous, as the name suggests. It has two great rivers and hundreds of ravines. It was a primitive land until Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke Uchiha, and Ryun Uchiha united its major clans in their new village. The Land of Mountains is one of the largest and most powerful countries in The Shinobi World. Its main hidden village, Yamagakure 2, is the home of the Uchiha Clan II.
The Land of Mountains is appropriately oriented towards the element of earth, typically having very dark and rainy weather. While not the largest country, it has the second largest largest hidden village.
The Land of Mountains has been involved in wars with the Darkness Country, the Earth Country, the Fire Country and later the Sand Country. Soon after its formation, the Land of Mountains was attacked by the exceedingly powerful group, the Kagekenin. This group destroyed anything in their path and killed countless people, including, among several others, Naruto. It was stopped by Yamagakure 2's Second Yamakage. He sacrificed his own life to seal the Spirit Beast inside Ryun's, Luke Uchiha.
In the harsh years that followed, the Land of Mountains slowly recovered and became accustomed to war. This was seen by other countries who had been working to increase their military power — as a strength.
The major families/clans that reside in The Land of Mountains are the Yama, Hyugas, Tsurugi, Gurasu, Mokuzai, Amejouten, and Uchiha II's. Notorious for their dojutsu (eye technique) the Hyugas and Uchihas posses, their secrets have been sought out for many years by rival countries. The most well-known clan in Yamagakure 2 are the Uchiha Clan II with their power of the Sharingan and knowledge of Fire Release jutsus, especially their development of their signature jutsu: Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, a popular Chunin-level/C-Rank jutsu in Konohagakure. Besides their ninja forces the land of mountains also maintains one of biggest and best equipped conventional armies of the six shinobi nations.

History[]
Not much is known of this land except that the Uchiha have recently founded a Hidden Village here. Not long after Yamagakure was founded, Chikagakure was founded by the Suiton Clan. Tensions between the two villages are beginning to rise. In the Land of Mountains, there are ten giant demons called the Land of Mountains' Tailed Beasts (尾獣, Yama no Kuni Bijū) that inhabit the land (these are separate beasts from the original Bijuu). They, like their counterparts from the Five Great Nations, are actually living chakra in physical form, often referred to as "Chakra Monsters". The beasts are differentiated by the number of tails they have, with each possessing an amount from one to ten. They are large, living forms of chakra, giving them power that far outmatches most ninja. However, this immense strength is tempered due to their bestial nature, which restricts them from being smart enough to use it effectively. Beasts sealed within humans are able to benefit from the knowledge of their hosts, giving them the ability to speak and better utilize their powers.
