| - Ōkamigakure (狼隠れの里, Ōkamigakure no Sato; English TV: "Village Hidden by Wolves" or Literally meaning: "Village Hidden Among Wolves") is a shinobi village, which was founded about two hundred years prior to the start of the series by a member of the Uchimoto Clan. The hidden village is also located in the Land of Wind, in the southwest region, and due to its geographic position near the ocean, it represents an important port-village, which improves the commerce between Sunagakure and the other countries. Despite being highly developed and can be easily confused with one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries, Ōkamigakure it is not governed by a Kage, but by the head of the Uchimoto Clan. There have been registered six official village head from this clan - the most recent being Airin Uchimoto - and three regents (members of the same clan, but who had military attributes). The current member resides in the Uchimoto mansion in the center of the village. Generally speaking, the village is known for the "pack spirit" deeply rooted in the collective consciousness; i.e. there exist teamwork and spirit of sacrifice for the well-being of their teammates. Ōkamigakure is also known for being separated in two parts: a northern one, oriented to the desert, and a southern one, oriented to the ocean. Because of this, the village has two standard ninja attire, specific for both sides. Thus the northern attire revolves mainly around beige uniforms underneath brown flak jackets and brown ninja sandals. This way, the shinobi and kunoichi blend with their natural environment, the desert. While the standard color for the uniforms of the northern part is beige, the one of the southern part is ming - a blue-green mixture -, over which they wear blueberries blue flak jackets and as footwear ninja sandals of the same color. Both sides also do not wear a forehead protector; instead the village symbol is imprinted on the back of their flak jackets. Due to the fact that the village is split in two, the shinobi of the northern part are very proficient with Wind Release techniques, while the ones from the southern part are experts in Water Release techniques. The Wind Release users tend to use fans when battling, while the Water users water cannons on the shore. Ōkamigakure's architecture is currently based on iron. Before The Great Fire of Ōkamigakure and its rebuilding, the buildings' structure was made of wood and stone. In the northen part, the village constructed a giant fortified wall of 60 meters height from base to summit, made from a strong substance, which has a dual role: for war defense and to protect the population from the sandstorms. In south exists a large ocean port that represents an important trade and exchange of goods center.
