Sunagakure

Sunagakure is the Hidden Village of the Land of Wind. Despite its country's meager standing, it exists within one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries. As such, the leader of Sunagakure is known as the Kazekage. It is a small village that is nestled between the Furukotsu Mountains (古骨山 Furukotsusan), a set of mesas that exist within a strict formation that encircles the entire village. The only major passage way, which is the only known entrance into the village, rests at the north of the village. While this entrance is heavily guarded by a platoon of Suna-nin, the village itself boasts a variety of natural defenses that are as deadly to the inhabitants as it is for any other invading force.

Very few actually know of Sunagakure's location, while its existence has been well-established for quite some time only trusted members of the Land of Wind's kingdom know of where it exists. This elusiveness, combined with its natural geography, make it hard to find (even for a trained shinobi). It exists within an arid desert, surrounded with similar mesas across wide tracts of burning sand. Only the most hardened, and deadly of creatures are said to exist within these lands. The weather outside of Sunagakure is extremely temperamental, often having many sand storms that sweep through the lands. Since Sunagakure was created, none of these sand storms have even dared to come close to it.

Sunagakure ninja are exceptional in terms of their average attire. Where most ninja typically make use of Shinobi Battle Armor or some other variant, Suna-nin are more known for wearing types of Kusari (mail armor). Some of the more noble ninja within Suna tend to wear more elaborate Kusari into battle, complemented with steel plates and other plated armor to better defend themselves. While the less fortunate Suna-nin, and perhaps more common, have incomplete sets of armor or those that are typically made of cheaper materials, such as iron. Their clothing tends to be more muted, with colors of beige, brown, khaki, and so on.
