Kage

Kage (影, lit. meaning: Shadow) is a title bestowed upon the leading shinobi within a Hidden Village aligned with one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries (忍び五大国 Shinobi Godaikoku). There are five Kage, one in each village to represent that country's pinnacle of military power. The Kage act as the lords of the local province, and Hidden Village, that they are settled within. Thought it may differ between each country, most Kage tend to act as their respective countries' military leader. While still being subordinate to their monarchs, the Kage are crucial figures when deciding if a country should go to war, the strategy of their campaigns when doing so; etc.
