The Land of Earth (土の国, Tsuchi no Kuni) is located north-west of the Land of Fire. Its government leader is the Earth Daimyō: Oda, Nobunaga. The country is mostly comprised of desolate, rocky areas. The border of the Land of Earth runs along a rocky mountain range, blocking easy communication with other countries. The wind blowing from the north passes over these mountains, carrying small rocks from the Land of Earth to the surrounding countries. This famous natural phenomenon is called "Rock Rain" (岩雨, Gan'u).

This region is well-known for the rock-hard attitude of its shinobi; as soon as the their leader gives an order, the Tsuchi-nin do so without hesitation, even if it means death.
