Ishikawa Oyama

*"You little shits couldn't compare to me if I was standing perfectly still and asleep."* -*Ishikawa*

**Ishikawa Oyama** (石川 王山; Stone-River King-Mountain) is the **First Tsuchikage** (土影; Earth Shadow) and also the founder of Iwagakure. She is credited with the creation of **Earth Release** (土遁, Doton) although this claim is dubious, what is certain however is that she is the creator of the **Weight Alteration Jutsu** family of Earth Style techniques for which Iwagakure Ninjas are famous for.

## ***Personality***

### **Quirks**

* **Absolutely Full of Hubris**: Ishikawa in life was said to have wrestled the tailed beasts while they still roamed free as a hobby, and defeated so many clans of ninjas and forced them to join her village that it acquired the potential to become, and eventually did become one of the great 5 Ninja nations.

## ***History***

### **Background**

Ishikawa is an ancient figure born many centuries ago at the creation of Ninjutsu, credited with the creation of earth style itself Ishikawa was something of a local hero in what was once Koishi (小石, Pebble) Village. She loved her village and wanted it to never be endangered again so using Earth Style she built many great walls around it and defeated anyone trying to invade it. Whenever Ishikawa would destroy a clan of ninjas in battle singlehandedly she'd force them to join her village and help her make it great.

Soon her small village became a military powerhouse all because of Ishikawa's power. Her pure love for her village was so contagious that eventually even the enemy ninjas forced to work for Ishikawa grew to love the village and to this day this strong sense of pride for Iwagakure is a staple of Iwagakure culture.

## ***Abilities***

### *Taijutsu*

Like all Ninjas at the beginning of Ninjutsu most ninjas relied and practiced primarily the art of Taijutsu, Ishikawa was no exception but due to her talent for Earth Style Jutsu she used Taijutsu not as her primary focus but rather as a base for her Ninjutsu to shine through.

### *Ninjutsu*

#### **Earth Release**

Due to her absolutely god like prowess at using **Earth Release** (土遁, Doton) she is often credited at being the creator of it, whereas this is true or not is uncertain but what is known is that Ishikawa's genius and power wielding it earned her the nickname of **The Mountain Thrower** due to her purposed ability to fling boulders the size of small mountains at her opponents.

Most of the inner walls of Iwagakure are said to have been raised by Ishikawa in her time as Tsuchikage, and even a lot of the houses are claimed to have been built by her with a single jutsu casting.

#### **Earth Release: Weight Jutsus**

While the validity of her creation Earth Style can be disputed what cannot be disputed however is that Ishikawa is the creator of both **Doton: Kajūgan no Jutsu** (土遁・加重岩の術, Earth Style: Weighted Boulder Jutsu) and **Doton: Keijūgan no Jutsu** ­­(土遁・軽重岩の術­, Earth Style: Lightweight Boulder Jutsu), and a lot of their sub techniques known collectively as **Jūgan no Jutsu** (­­重岩の術, Boulder Jutsu) or more commonly and simply as **Weight Jutsus**.

Ishikawa was the first Ninja to have been said to be able to fly using her Weight Jutsu and one of her favorite moves was to drop kick opponents, supposedly from orbit. She would also often pick up the main bases of a ninja clan with every ninja inside and chuck it down a valley whenever a ninja clan annoyed her greatly.

### *Genjutsu*

As a Ninja at the dawn of Ninjutsu Ishikawa was never taught the art of Genjutsu although it seems she did know how to counter it when she first faced it. She predictably deemed it a cowards's art and prohibited the ninjas directly under her from wasting her time with it. This one not entirely serious order has crippled Iwagakure's Genjutsu abilities since.
