Uzushiogakure no Sato
Uzushiogakure after its destruction.
Uzushiogakure (渦潮隠れの里, Uzushiogakure no Sato; Literally meaning "Village Hidden by Whirling Tides") is the shinobi village of the Land of Whirlpools. Its ninja were renowned for their fūinjutsu to the point that it was deemed too big of a threat to be spared during the second great ninja war. A combined force of Kirigakure no Sato (Hidden Mist Village), Kumogakure no Sato (Hidden Cloud Village) and Iwagakure no Sato (Hidden Stone Village) attacked Uzushiogakure in an effort to eliminate it with minimal losses on their side.
The attempt backfired though and they suffered heavy causalities. Even though they succeeded in eliminating Uzushiogakure, they later lost the war due to their forces being weakened too much during this battle. Konohagakure and Sunagakure took advantage of this weakness and claimed victory in the war. Those who survived the village's destruction scattered across the globe to seek refuge.

Symbol of Uzushiogakure
The people of Uzushiogakure were noted to have notoriously long lives, so it gained the epithet "The Village of Longevity" (長寿の里,Chōju no Sato). In terms of appearance, the village seemed to have been composed of several high-rise buildings. A wide river seemingly ran through the village and was gapped by large bridges. The surrounding countryside was dominated by steep hills.
Uzushiogakure had close ties with Konohagakure, due to Uzushio's Uzumaki clan and Konoha's Senju clan being distant relatives. Because of this, all the flak jackets worn by the chūnin and jōnin-level shinobi of Konohagakure bear the crest of Uzushiogakure, symbolising the strong friendship between both villages. This symbol is also emblazoned on the some of the shoulders of the outfits that the Konoha shinobi wear underneath the flak jackets.
