The Land of Lighting is located on a peninsula north-east of the Land of Fire and is one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries. In the centre of the country are vast mountain ranges, whose many thunderstorms are said to give the country its name. From these mountain ranges, many rivers flow to the sea, creating a very crooked coastline that displays an impressive oceanic beauty. There are many hot springs located within the country. The Hidden Village of The Land of Lighting is Kumogakure, and it's ruled by the Raikage. Current Raikage is the Fifth, Darui.
