Tu Zin (Earth-2213)

Tu Zin is a small, abandoned village in the mountaineous region in southeast Land of Earth. It was the site of a confrontation between Team 7, Iroh and Zuko, and Azula. The settlement was located in a small deserted valley some miles away from the Si Wong Desert.

History
The village of Tu Zin once thrived after it was discovered the caves nearby it were the source of valuable metals. In a short span of time, shinobi from Iwagakure and nonbenders from all over the Land of Earth arrived on the town to mine for the metals. For the next couple of years, the village flourished with commerce, but with the outbreak of a deadly cholera outbreak, people began to die, while those that did not simply left, fearing for the lives of their families and their own. The village itself was left to decay and became a deserted ghost town.

Tu Zin had no major involvement in the Second Hundred Year War once the Land of Earth received a huge blow in the conflict.

In 18 AG, Konohagakure's Team 7 arrived on the town following a narrow escape from Princess Azula. As they were exhausted, Kakashi Hatake chose to fight Azula to give a chance for his apprentices, but their standoff was interrupted by Prince Zuko and Iroh. Both parties were intent on capturing Team 7 alive and fought against one another to do so.
