The Lightning country is one of the unrevealed lands in Naruto. The Lightning Country is one of the larger ninja countries in the Naruto world, but it only shares a border with one unknown country. The remainder of the country is marked by a long coastline.Hidden Cloud is one of the more powerful ninja villages in the world, allowing its leader to be called a "Kage." As such it is one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries. Approximately 9 years before the start of the series, Hidden Cloud and Leaf were locked in war. The two countries decided to sign a peace treaty to end the conflict. Unfortunately Hidden Cloud used the treaty signing as a means to gain access to Leaf and then kidnap Hyuuga Hinata and get the Byakugan. Cloud is also one of the shinobi countries to utilize a Jinchuuriki. Cloud ninja Nii Yugito is the current host of the two-tailed cat demon.
The current leader of the Lightning Country is unknown, presumably it is a daimyo.
