The Land of Forests, like the other nine major nations, is led by a single samurai; the Moríshogun. Of all the samurai nations, the Land of Forests has been remarked as to being the closest in nature to the shinobi, as they regularly make use of stealth tactics and espionage. Some other samurai nations, particularly the Land of Storms, despise the samurai of the Land of Forests because of this, and was the first nation to attempt to destroy the land via fire. The samurai of the Land of Forests have a natural elemental affinity towards earth.
