The Earth country is one of the unrevealed lands in Naruto. The Earth Country is one of the larger ninja countries in the Naruto world, sharing borders with Waterfall, Grass, Rain and several unnamed countries. Because of Hidden Rock's warlike tendencies against the Fire Country, their invasion path leads them through smaller countries like Grass. Like Hidden Cloud, they had two Jinchuuriki named Han and Roushi. Roushi eventually left the village.

Approximately 13 years before the start of the series, the village was at war with Leaf. Their invasion path took them through the Grass Country. The efforts of the man who became Fourth Hokage and his team consisting of Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito and Rin helped turned back their assault.
