An intricate network of lairs rather than an actual village, Otogakure was created and founded by Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin. He has been nicknamed the Otokage of this land due to his power level, but is not actually a kage, nor is Otogakure noted as one of the five great ninja villages. All the ninja from this village specialize in manipulating sound waves into their jutsu and sometimes using curse seals to increase their power.
