[[folder:General]]
!!Hidden Stone Village provides examples of:
* {{Determinator}}: The village is well-known for the rock-hard attitude of its shinobi; as soon as the Tsuchikage gives an order, the shinobi follow it without hesitation, even if it means death. However, this trait has manifested into a detrimental and underhanded competitive streak with the other villages to obtain victory, having worked behind the scenes for years against its fellow villages, such as by using mercenaries like Akatsuki to carry out missions the village could not be directly involved in or that it lacked the resources for as well as betraying allies to pilfer spoils.
* DishingOutDirt: The ninja of the village specialize in rock-based jutsu. Though fire is also an equally-important component (lava, bombs...)
* FreudianExcuse: Their tendency to backstab foreign allies is implied to have started due to them being backstabbed themselves when they did try to trust the other nations. That is, during the dawn of the Shinobi Villages, they put their faith in a peace treaty with the Land of Fire, only for Madara Uchiha to attack them and declare them basically slaves to Konoha rather than allies. Though Madara was acting on his own, his behavior left a lasting mark on the psyche of the Hidden Stone ninjas.
* HufflepuffHouse: Due to their long-standing distrust of Konoha, the Hidden Stone is almost never involved in the storyline, outside of [[FlashbackEpisode Kakashi Gaiden]], until the Kage Summit Arc. The only time any Iwa people appear in the manga of Part I was the rogue Gantetsu and his lackey Chōseki during Naruto's training with Jiraiya. One of the post-Sasuke Retrieval filler arcs introduced the Kamizuru clan as the First Tsuchikage's grandchildren, but no one else until Part II.

[[folder:Onoki (Third Tsuchikage)]]
!!Onoki
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TomomichiNishimura (JP), Creator/SteveBlum (ENG)
!!!'''Debut:''' ''Naruto'' Chapter 454 (Manga), ''Shippuden'' Episode 199 (Anime)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/naruto_onoki_4.png]]

->''Being old has its perks. To think I'd live to see the day… when the five Kage would stand and fight together!''

The current, extremely elderly leader of the Village Hidden in the Stones. Very proud, despite his frailty, and shows little respect to those much younger than him (i.e. everyone).

During the Kage Summit, he admitted to having frequently hired Akatsuki. He defended his action, stating that the use of Akatsuki was necessary to protect themselves while still demilitarizing, but this and his advanced age still lead Mifune to deny him leadership of the forces to lead against Akatsuki. When Sasuke intrudes on the meeting room chasing after Danzo, he refuses to take part in the fight. Due to Gaara's actions and words during the meeting, Onoki reverts back to the noble man he once was before he became hard-headed. Later, he goes out to find Kabuto and prevent him from finding Killer Bee and Naruto and succeeds in protecting them.

Throughout the war, Onoki's techniques proved instrumental in keeping Alliance members alive and he becomes the de-facto leader in the assault against the real Madara Uchiha.

Years later, Onoki retires due to his failing health and passes down his title to his granddaughter.
----
* AbilityMixing: Jinton uses Fire, Earth, and Wind natures in perfect harmony.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: He acts as {{Jerkass}} at the Kage Summit, especially to Gaara, but the latter asks him ''When did you lose yourselves?''. It leads him to become kinder.
* TheAtoner: Twice over.
** Onoki is deeply ashamed of years of opportunism and double-dealing against other villages when he remembers his old idealistic self again.
** [[spoiler:When he creates the Akuta and Fabrications after losing his grandson Kozuchi, he realizes how much trouble it causes and gives his life to defeat his creation Ku.]]
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He's the Third Tsuchikage, is one of the strongest shinobi in the whole story, and has served longer than any other Kage to date.
* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:He dies in ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' Episode 91, due to old age and overexertion after vanquishing Ku]].
* CharacterDevelopment: From a wide-eyed youth wanting what's best for his home, to an infamous warhawk who mocked the notion of international peace, to respecting that the newer generations would rather just get along, to dying for their ideals.
* CoolOldGuy: Despite his very old age, not only he maintained his position as Tsuchikage for decades but also is considered to be the most dangerous of the Gokage by Madara.
* CrackOhMyBack: Almost word for word.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: His grandpa appearance and his back problems make him a comic relief and a running gag but he's still a very powerful ninja.
* CynicismCatalyst: He lost sight of who he was after a confrontation when Madara forcibly declared that despite the alliance between their villages Konoha was to remain the dominant village and Iwagakure was to obey. He lost trust in the other villages and the idea of peace between shinobi.
* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler: After he's pretty much-left half-dead from Madara's [[ColonyDrop double meteorites]], he decides to keep fighting and really cut loose in the fight]].
* DishingOutDirt: He can use Earth Release to fly, increase gravity, and create [[DoppelgangerAttack Rock Clones]].
* ElementalPowers: He has three, plus one combined: [[BlowYouAway wind]], [[PlayingWithFire fire]] and [[DishingOutDirt earth]].
* FantasticNuke: Dust Release is essentially this. It combines fire, earth, and wind chakra to destroy things at a molecular level, and it has several mile radii. He starts cutting loose, and he can utterly destroy any number of enemies.
* FireForgedFriends: During the Fourth War, he grows to respect the other Gokage as they share a common interest in future peace.
* {{Flight}}: He's capable of unassisted flight via Earth Release.
* GagNose: A huge red nose worthy of a cartoon character.
* {{Gonk}}: His appearance.
* GrumpyOldMan: His reputation and also his stubbornness of retiring.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: You wouldn't think 'Dust Release' would be all that great as a superpower, but they don't call it that because he conjures or manipulates dust, they call it that because ''dust is the only thing left after he uses it''.
* HeroicLineage: Databook 4 reveals him to be the grandson of the First Tsuchikage.
* HeroicSacrifice: In the ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' anime, [[spoiler:Onoki uses his remaining life to throw out a final Jinton attack and overwhelm Ku in order to save Boruto's team]].
* HeroicWillpower: [[spoiler:He was the only one to recover from the pollen created by Madara's World Forest technique, and destroyed it completely]].
* LongLived: Onoki first appears in the series at the age of 79. He is still alive by the events of ''Boruto'', which would put him no younger than 94-years-old. He personally saw through all four Great Shinobi Wars and is the only living person to have met and fought Madara Uchiha when the latter was still alive. Depending on how long it took from the founding of the ninja villages to the outbreak of the First Shinobi War, it's even possible that Onoki remembers life ''before'' there was a ninja village.
* MadeOfIron: He takes two meteors straight to the head and although badly wounded, he survives. By contrast, thousands of other shinobi, many of them decades younger than him, who weren’t in the epicenter, didn’t.
* MagmaMan: According to the light novel ''Shikamaru Shinden: A Cloud Dancing in Forlorn Falling Petals'', he has the Lava Release kekkei genkai.
* MiniatureSeniorCitizen: He is roughly 1.5 times as tall as his hat is long. Subverted in that he was never much taller than that.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: He's infamous among the Kage for having actually contracted the Akatsuki several times in the past for the Iwagakure's benefit, which makes his arguments during the Summit a bit hypocritical. Granted, by then, [[TheAtoner he is ashamed for having done so]].
* NothingPersonal: While having nothing against him personally, he chooses to kill Sasuke at the Kage Summit because many people want the guy dead.
* OldSoldier:
** Onoki has faced the best of the best the Ninja World had to offer, lived through all four Shinobi Wars, and is still alive as Kage, a position with an almost 100% mortality rate. By the time of the Fourth Shinobi War, Onoki is the oldest known living ninja, the next younger ones being the Konoha elders Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, both being six years his junior and, in contrast, are semi-retired and do not participate in the war.
** In fact, he lives to see Naruto become Hokage, which canonically takes place over fifteen years after the end of the Fourth Shinobi War. By this time, he is over ninety years old and permanently retired in Iwagakure.
* OneManArmy: He is one of the Kages and according to [[spoiler: the Second Tsuchikage, his mentor]], he could destroy entire armies of Ninjas without a problem if he so much wished.
* OneHitKill: His jinton can destroy at the ''molecular'' level. It's also normally measured by mile damage radius.
* OpportunisticBastard: He was this kind of person before the Kage Summit but after Gaara asked him when he lost himself he decided not to have Naruto and Bee dealt with in an attempt to weaken Konoha and Kumo.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's the smallest of any of the kage ever introduced in the series, but arguably one of the most powerful.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: [[spoiler:His Jinton could easily kill a huge target like Turtle Island with a single attack]].
** Put it this way. The Third Raikage died holding off an army. Onoki and his teacher, Mu, would just destroy it with their Jinton.
* RedBaron: He's known as "Ōnoki of Both Scales".
* RetiredBadass: In the New Era
* ScatterbrainedSenior: The ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' anime shows him to be a little off in the head, preferring to go sightseeing in the Hidden Leaf Village instead of attending the Five Kage meeting along with the other retired Kages. Granted, he's well over a century old.
* ScrewPolitenessImASenior: He is a {{jerkass}} most of the time with most of the people in lieu of his age and experience.
* SquishyWizard: A traditional Nuker type, as his low stamina and back problems prevent him from cutting loose with physical attacks.
* StoryBreakerPower: An attack that acts as a massive OneHitKill and makes him a OneManArmy would make the very concept of "armies" pointless, thus any conventional war involving him ''would'' be over quickly if not his squishy-ness handicapping him.
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: Superpowerful enough to be blessed with a bloodline expansion.
* TookALevelInKindness / TookALevelInIdealism: After Gaara's ArmorPiercingQuestion, he becomes a kinder and more optimistic old guy.
* WorldsStrongestMan: [[spoiler:Acknowledged by Madara to be the strongest of the living Kages and the most difficult to break]].

[[folder:Kurotsuchi]]
!!Kurotsuchi
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HanaTakeda (JP), Creator/LauraBailey (EN, original), Creator/CheramiLeigh (EN, current)
!!!'''Debut:''' ''Naruto'' Chapter 454 (Manga), ''Shippuden'' Episode 199 (Anime)
[[quoteright:170:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/naruto__kurotsuchi.png]]

->''If we take this chance and dispose of the Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails, we will not only be able to put an end to Madara's plan, but we'll also be able to reduce Kumo's and Konoha's war potentials. Wouldn't it be killing two birds with one stone!?''

The Tsuchikage's Granddaughter and bodyguard. She refers to Deidara as her big brother, but this is pretty much either an honorific that she grew up close to him. She later becomes the Fourth Tsuchikage sometime after the war.
----
* AshesToAshes: She can use Lava Release: Ash Stone Seal Technique, spewing out a cloud of ash from her mouth to bind the target.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: Seriously, it's only the Kunoichi skirt that tells you she is a woman. And for a while, like Fuu (the jinchuuriki), people were unsure because of lack of reference, only Kurotsuchi's a bit worse at this. Averted by the time of the ''Boruto'' series, where her outfit makes it clear she has decent-sized breasts and quite impressive legs.
* BodyguardingABadass: She serves as Onoki's bodyguard for the Five Kage Summit.
* BrutalHonesty: She often makes bold remarks towards her peers and elders such as her constant teasing of Onoki over his age. However, they often have a foundation whether it's well-meaning or not.
* CharlesAtlasSuperPower: She lands a {{MegatonPunch}} on Kinshiki Otsutsuki in “Boruto: Naruto the Movie” Kurotsuchi certainly qualifies, sending the man who is three times her size through a thick tree many meters away.
* ExoticEyeDesigns: Pupil-less with pink sclera.
* FashionableAsymmetry: Both of her uniforms have more clothes on her left side.
* HeroicLineage: Great-great-granddaughter of the First Tsuchikage, and the granddaughter of the Third.
* InformedAbility: The novel for Boruto the Movie states that Kurotsuchi is the most skilled [[MasterOfIllusion genjutsu user]] amongst the current generation of Kage.
* TheLeader: [[spoiler:In the epilogue, she is Tsuchikage, leading the Stone Village]].
* MagmaMan: Her Kekkei Genkai lets her use lava jutsus, which combines DishingOutDirt and PlayingWithFire.
* MakingASplash: She can use water jutsus.
* MeaningfulName: Means "black earth".
* MsFanservice: Her Tsuchikage dress shows off her right arm and her entire right leg. She is so beautiful that Iwabe believes she rivals the Seventh Hokage's Sexy Jutsu.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: At one point, she suggests simply having Naruto and Killer Bee executed -- her reasoning being that it will both set back Akatsuki's plans ''and'' strengthen Iwagakure's standing amongst the Five Great Villages.
* NervesOfSteel: [[spoiler:The Juubi breaks free of her father's jutsu and she tells him that their attacks won't work anymore while remaining calm]].
* NotSoAboveItAll: She berates Akatsuchi for his childish glee at flying even when she is secretly as excited as him.
* RankUp: Kurotsuchi is the Fourth Tsuchikage as of the ''Naruto'' epilogue.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: As of the epilogue, the sole female kage. And while she may not be as insanely powerful as Tsunade, she more than deserves her title.
* SuperMode: [[spoiler:When Naruto gives her some of his chakra]].
* UglyGuysHotDaughter: Onoki's her grandfather, Kitsuchi's her father, Akatsuchi might be her brother. She might as well be the WhiteSheep of the family.
* ThemeNaming: With her partner Akatsuchi and her father Kitsuchi.

[[quoteright:260:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/naruto__akatsuchi.png]]

The Tsuchikage's other bodyguard and possible grandson, given the name and similar looks to Kitsuchi. Like Akatsuchi he knows Deidara who resents him for always getting in his way.
----
* {{Acrofatic}}: He's really big, but he moves with surprising grace for a huge guy.
* BodyguardingABadass: Like Kurotsuchi, he accompanies Onoki to the Five Kage Summit as a bodyguard.
* DishingOutDirt: Which he can use to create a {{Golem}}.
* {{Gonk}}: He looks like a fatter version of Kitsuchi without the sharp chin.
* MeaningfulName: Means "red earth".
* NervesOfSteel: He reacts to everything with at most mild surprise and least immediate action.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: An ass-kicker with a nice scarf.
* SmarterThanYouLook: He in fact is a brilliant Ninja who at least can see the consequences of his actions [[spoiler:like using a massive destructive technique next to their charge is not a good idea]].
* SuperStrength: He's considered to be unrivaled in his village in physical strength.
* ThemeNaming: He's named "Red Earth".
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: After the battle at Turtle Island, Akatsuchi mostly disappears from the original ''Naruto'' story. He cameos several times during the Fourth Shinobi War, but nothing major. We do see him in the epilogue, where it's shown that he continues to serve as the Tsuchikage's bodyguard, this time under Kurotsuchi, and he plays a major role in a anime arc of ''Manga/{{Boruto}}.

Kurotsuchi's father and possibly related to the Tsuchikage or perhaps Akatsuchi given their names and similar looks. Appointed as the Commander of the 2nd Division of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
----
* ActionDad: He's both Kurotsuchi's father and a FourStarBadass.
* AmbiguouslyRelated: His exact relation to Onoki (either biologically or by law) is unspecified.
* DishingOutDirt: Probably one of the greatest users in the world given that he contained [[spoiler:the Ten Tails]] temporarily.
* FourStarBadass: Enough to be Second Division member of the Allied Shinobi Forces.
* {{Gonk}}: He looks like the muppet version of Asuma.
* NervesOfSteel: Nothing can shock him, not even [[spoiler:the resurrected body of Deidara and the Nidaime Tsuchikage]].
* ElementalPunch[=/=]PowerFist: Makes one out of rocks.
* SuperMode: [[spoiler:When Naruto gives him some of his chakra]].

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Osamu Mukai (JP), Creator/JBBlanc (EN), Jonathan Fahn (EN, ''Shippūden'' Episode 340), Creator/WallyWingert (EN, ''Ultimate Ninja Storm 3'')
!!!'''Debut:''' ''Naruto'' Chapter 515 (Manga), ''Shippūden'' Episode 256 (Anime)
[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/naruto_second_tsuchikage.png]]

->''After the conflict ends, an alliance becomes squabble over spoils of war. The victor, therefore, becomes the new dominant power.''

Previous Tsuchikage, master of Onoki, and creator of the fearsome Kekkei Tota Jinton (Dust release), one of the deadliest techniques ever forged. He was an extremely respected and feared leader of Iwagakure and the strongest Shinobi ever produced from said village. He died undetermined years before the series started at the hands of his Archnemesis, the Nidaime Mizukage, in a double kill. He was revived by Edo Tensei and forced to battle the 4th Batallion, and his former pupil, along with the rest of the Kages. Besides being a very tall man covered in bandages wearing a dark-colored headband with no markings, extremely polite and fanatically loyal to Iwa, not much is known of him.
----
* AFatherToHisMen: But don't expect any mercy if you are from another Village.
* AllYourPowersCombined: Jinton uses Fire, Earth, and Wind natures in perfect harmony.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Seems to have been this to Onoki for all intents and purposes. Every basic technique that Onoki has, Mū has, which makes sense since Muu taught Onoki. [[DishingOutDirt Earth]], [[PlayingWithFire Fire]], and [[BlowYouAway Wind Release]]? Mū has them. Jinton? Mū has it and he used the three previously mentioned Chakra Natures to do so. Besides these four natures, Mū is also able to use [[MakingASplash Water Release]] via his Dustless Bewildering Cover Technique. [[AllThereInTheManual And according to the 4th Databook]], Muu is able to use [[ShockAndAwe Lightning]], Yang, AND Yin Release. This makes him one of the few Shinobi in history capable of using [[ElementalPowers all five of the basic Chakra natures]]. {{Flight}}? Mū has it as well. Beyond all of this, Muu is also capable of sensing other ninjas, even being able to tell the difference between ninja from different villages, split himself into two, and completely hiding his presence from detection. This seems to be a case of the student not surpassing the teacher, though, to his credit, Onoki lived far longer than his mentor did.
* ArchEnemy: The Nidaime Mizukage to the bitter end. Even so, he doesn't seem to hold any ill will to the man and even respected him. The Nidaime was not amused.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: He was the Tsuchikage and more than lived up to his title.
* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:The Sage of Six Paths summons him from the afterlife along the other deceased Kage in order to summon Team 7, the Tailed Beasts, and Madara from Kaguya's dimension.]]
* BandageMummy: He dresses like one for sure.
* BodyguardingABadass: At the first-ever Kage meeting, Mū was the bodyguard to the first Tsuchikage, a shinobi considered stronger than himself.
* CombatByChampion: Justified. Only Kage-level individuals could face him. Anything less would instantly die without contributing anything to the fight. [[spoiler:That's the reason why only Onoki and Gaara (and later Naruto) fought him, while the other Kages faced the entire battalion]].
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: "Alliances only exist until you can safely stab your allies in the back."
* CombatPragmatist: So much that he was deemed to be too much, even by other Shinobi forces during his reign [[spoiler:and shocked to the core the other Kages with his underhanded methods against the Shinobi Alliance]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Loves to snark the Nidaime Mizukage at every opportunity he gets.
* DidntSeeThatComing: His death. [[spoiler:Also, Naruto's Planetary Rasengan with his Chakra arms took him by surprise]].
* DisintegratorRay: Uses the same Dust Release as Onoki.
* TheDreaded: [[spoiler:You know that the guy is badass, when the resident [[ScrewPolitenessImASenior Old Jackass]] [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness calls him sir]]]].
* {{Flight}}: Like his student, he can fly.
* GravityMaster: One of the few ninjas with the ability to actually fly. Notably, he is capable of doing this without receiving Chakra from the Sage of Six Paths, unlike Naruto. He taught Onoki everything he knows and was deemed superior to his former pupil.
* HiddenDepths: Despite his cynicism and utter devotion to Iwa, when Onoki refuses his suggestion to break the Shinobi Alliance after the war is over, he almost seems happy, commenting that Onoki didn't grow up to be some "stubborn old geezer" after all.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: Like the rest of the Kages, he wants to be liberated from Edo Tensei. Unlike them, however, he never revealed his secrets, only asking Onoki to be the one to do it. The reason for this is likely there isn't any 'secret' or weakness to Mu's Jinton. Only Onoki as another Jinton user could defeat him.
* ImplausibleFencingPowers: While only [[InformedAbility alluded]], he was deemed an extremely deadly swordsman.
* {{Invisibility}}: To the point of being deemed ''Mujin'' (non-person), for it was considered impossible to detect him; only the Mizukage had ever successfully done it. While perfect, the technique had to be shed before a fight.
* MesACrowd: His splitting technique.
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: He only cares for Iwagakure and will do ''absolutely'' anything to protect it. His underhanded methods are what brought the wrath of the Nidaime Mizukage.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: He can sense chakra, nature, level, and ''DNA energy'' miles away with absolute precision. It's also impossible to [[SpiderSense ambush him]]. [[spoiler:Not even Naruto Kyubi Mode velocity managed that]].
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He could level entire cities if he so much as wished it, and levitating mountains would barely tax him.
* PolitenessJudo: He loves to use his position as a way to get away with his methods.
* OneManArmy: Numbers are ''meaningless'' to him. He could slaughter [[ZergRush entire armies]] without effort. The only way to battle him is with another legendary warrior [[spoiler:as Onoki, Gaara, and Naruto Kyubi Mode show]].
* OneHitKill: His jinton can destroy at the ''molecular'' level. It's also normally measured by mile damage radius.
* StealthExpert: He could turn invisible.
* SuperReflexes: Good enough to [[spoiler:sense and avoid Naruto in Kyubi mode]].
* SuperpowerfulGenetics: Superpowerful enough to be blessed with a bloodline expansion.
* SuperpowerLottery: Is able to use Earth-Fire-Wind Release.
* TakingYouWithMe: With the second Mizukage, although it was unintentional.
* TheStrategist: He's an incredible strategist, so much that he plans ahead three steps at a time. Usually with underhanded methods to get what he wants.
* TheStoic: He hardly reacts to anything with any amount of surprise, not even his former mortal enemy's rival.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Iwagakure. [[spoiler:Taken to its logical conclusion. Even after death and defeat, he tried to make Iwa superior to the other Villages]].
* WorthyOpponent: The Nidaime Mizukage. The feeling was not mutual.

[[folder:Ishikawa (First Tsuchikage)]]
!!Ishikawa
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Toru Nakane (JP), Creator/TakashiKondo (JP, younger), Patrick Seitz (EN)
!!!'''Debut:''' ''Naruto'' Chapter 575 (Manga), ''Shippuden'' Episode 332 (Anime)
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ishikawa_kamizuru.png]]

->''If you forsake your will while hitting a wall… you will begin to make excuses and obtain hatred in exchange for your determination. Listen now… you have to step forward without abandoning your will!''

The founding Kage of Iwagakure and Onoki’s grandfather. The anime mentions that he was a member of the bee-wielding Kamizuru clan as well as the grandfather of Suzumebachi, Kurobachi, and Jibachi.
----
* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: In Part I of the anime, during the Hunt for the Bikōchū filler arc, the villains are stated to be his grandkids long before his proper debut in the manga. The filler grandkids can only be in their mid-thirties tops whilst the canon Ōnoki is almost eighty by the time of his introduction. What's worse is that Ishikawa was already pretty damn old by the time his canon grandson was a mere ten years of age, leaving little possibility of any other grandkids roaming about. There's also Suzumebachi's mention of him being a bee user like them but the anime versions of the flashbacks he appears in don't reflect that and also never mention the Book of Secrets he supposedly hid long ago.
* BackForTheFinale: [[spoiler:The Sage of Six Paths summons him from the afterlife along the other deceased Kage in order to summon Team 7, the Tailed Beasts, and Madara from Kaguya's dimension.]]
* BeeAfraid: He would’ve incorporated bee-related ninjutsu into his fighting style, as the anime states that not only does his Kamizuru clan use bees akin to the Aburame Clan’s use of various insects, he also has hidden away special scrolls from other members of his clan. This was mentioned long before he actually appeared in the manga, though, and the anime versions of his canon scenes never once allude to this again.
* ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: According to himself, he can discern the will of an individual simply by looking at them. Judging from the advice he gave Onoki when the latter was a child, which became important later during the Fourth Shinobi World War when fighting Madara, Ishikawa proved himself right, '''several decades''' in advance!
* {{Flight}}: Just like his successors Mu and Onoki, he can fly without a problem.
* GravityMaster: Courtesy of his Earth Release powers, he can make himself lighter.
* MiniatureSeniorCitizen: Ishikawa wasn’t much taller than his grandson, clocking in at 4.75 feet (145 cm.).
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: It’s possible that his first name comes from “Ishikawa Goemon”, a legendary shinobi from the sixteenth century.
* OldMaster: In case anyone missed his Kage status, this trope here should make it clear. He is a wise and skilled shinobi who taught his grandson, Onoki, how to excel as a shinobi.
* {{Pun}}: He used stone-puns in his teaching methods of his grandson.

* AnimeHair: Ridiculously up top hair.

[[caption-width-right:325:Kakkō]]

A team of Iwagakure shinobi that served during the Third Shinobi World War and had fateful encounters with Team Minato. Mahiru was killed early on by Minato himself while scouting, but Taiseki and Kakkō later proved to be more than Kakashi and Obito could handle which caused Rin to be kidnapped by the Iwa-nin. Taiseki would be killed by Obito seconds after Kakashi lost his original left eye to the former, whereas Kakkō would be responsible for collapsing the cave that Rin was held in, crushing Obito and disabling his entire right half. Kakashi would gain Obito's remaining Sharingan as a parting gift and proceed to kill Kakkō with a Chidori, seemingly avenging his fallen teammate.

[[SmallRoleBigImpact If only those Iwa-nin had known]] [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom that they'd helped to birth one of the most powerful villains of the shinobi world...]] [[NiceJobFixingItVillain and also some of its greatest heroes.]]
----
* AfroAsskicker: Kakkō sports a sort-of afro.
* AllThereInTheManual: Only Mahiru was named in-series, the other two not being revealed until the release of the databooks.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: Kakkō's deposition is by default cocky and underestimating of his opponents, more so against children. Mahiru too before [[LampshadeHanging he realizes]] that charging in to attack Team Minato was a mistake just before the said man offs him.
* BadassesWearBandanas: Taiseki's stone headband is shaped in this way.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Kakkō utilizes dual blades; one in his left sleeve and another under the bandages on his right arm.
* DiesWideOpen: Both Taiseki and Kakkō died this way. Bonus points in Kakkō's case for initially making it look like he killed Kakashi.
* DishingOutDirt: They're Iwagakure ninjas, so this is unsurprising, though Taiseki is never shown to use any except in the video games.
* EyeScream: Taiseki inflicted this on Kakashi due to TakingTheBullet for Obito. The latter made sure that the Iwa-nin didn't get the last laugh.
* FashionableAsymmetry: All of them only have a sleeve on their left side with tunics only going around their left waist, but Kakkō is notable for sporting bandages on his sleeveless right arm. Both contain [[BladeBelowTheShoulder blades]] that he whips out for combat.
* ForWantOfANail: If Taiseki had never kidnapped Rin, Obito and Kakashi wouldn't have gone to rescue her, Obito wouldn't have been crippled and forced his teammates to leave him, and Madara wouldn't have had Zetsu take him which led to his becoming Tobi via orchestrating Rin's demise, indirectly causing the deaths of his mentor and his wife in an incident that nearly destroyed Konoha, forming the Akatsuki to kidnap the jinchūriki and kill them by removing the tailed beasts, and leading into the Fourth Shinobi World War.
* GeniusBruiser: Taiseki is the most cautious and prefers to observe his adversary before moving in. He is also the leader of the three-man team.
* HeroKiller: Kakkō caused the cave-in that spelled the end of Obito Uchiha...[[AvertedTrope except]] [[NeverFoundTheBody that]] [[NotQuiteDead it]] [[ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated didn't.]] Earlier, Mahiru was seconds away from claiming Kakashi, who had tired from the use of his Chidori, if Minato hadn't stepped in to pull his student to safety.
* IdiotHair: Mahiru has a second ponytail spiking upwards in addition to his second normal-looking one. He neglected to verify Minato's identity until it was too late to matter.
* {{Invisibility}}: Taiseki liked to sneak up on/observe others in this fashion. It didn't save him from being killed by a freshly activated Sharingan courtesy of Obito.
* {{Jerkass}}: All three qualify to an extent, especially Kakkō who is noted to be hostile and aggressive by default, even calling Taiseki pathetic for getting killed by kids. Taiseki himself is a sadist who wanted to take his time on Obito and Kakashi plus Mahiru was noted to have intense feelings of hate within himself.
* TheLeader: Taiseki is the team leader according to the databook.
* OhCrap: Mahiru when he realizes that he attacked the team led by Konoha's Yellow Flash. Taiseki was also taken aback when he mistook Kakashi for his father but quickly regained himself upon seeing he was facing the White Fang's son.
* RedOniBlueOni: Kakkō is aggressive fiery red to Taiseki's cool-headed and more cautious blue. Mahiru falls somewhere in the middle, described as a man who values his life but is fueled by hatred.
* TheResenter: The databooks note that Mahiru is fueled by hatred, [[InformedAttribute but nothing further is demonstrated.]]
* SacrificialLamb: Mahiru's only role was to help showcase Kakashi and Minato's abilities before being killed by the latter.
* SlashedThroat: Mahiru bought the farm from Minato this way.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Taiseki and Kakkō are only showcased for a mere four chapters (two episodes if you go by the anime) between them, but their kidnapping of Rin, scarring of Kakashi, and crippling of Obito would have profound consequences for the shinobi world beyond that of the war they were fighting in. Namely, Kakashi would inherit Obito's intact Sharingan and become the world-renowned "Kakashi the Copy Ninja" and that Obito Uchiha would be taken in by [[TheDreaded Madara]] [[WorldsStrongestMan Uchiha]] and be changed into [[TheHeavy Tobi.]]
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: All Taiseki and Kakkō were concerned with was interrogating Rin on what she knew and possibly using her medical ninjutsu to aid their side. Neither could have reasonably predicted that their abduction of her would lead to not just their own deaths but also to a string of catastrophic events that would almost cost the entire world its individuality. Kakkō himself caused Obito to be crippled and later taken in by Madara, assuring that his Moon's Eye Plan wouldn't die with the elder Uchiha.
* WouldHurtAChild: All three would, though this is justified given that ChildSoldiers are the norm for this series. Taiseki states that he'll take things nice and slow with Kakashi and Obito in spite of their young age. Kakkō uses a type of genjutsu to attempt to break Rin's mind for info, but luckily her will is strong enough to resist.
