Suzumegakure (雀隠れの里, Suzumegakure no sato; English TV: "Village hidden among Sparrows") is the hidden village of the Land of Birds (located between the Land of Wind and Land of Earth). Still, it is ruled by a Kage, the Tsubasakage (影 影; English TV: Wing's Shadow) Yoshihiko Aoki that is not recognized in the council of Five Kages. It is one of the few villages that file election processes through the people, although the current Kage is embroiled in a vote corruption scandal.
