Land of Stairs

The Land of Stairs, located next to the Land of Fire, is a small country that is friends with the Konohagakure. It has a small gentle hill from which streams of fire continuously burst out. According to records, this hill continues to burn for over 4,000 years even on rainy days. This undying flame, considered a blessing of the gods or a curse of a demon, has been an object of worship and reverence for people since time immemorial.

Shortly after the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, the Five Great Shinobi Countries entered into an agreement that restored peace. When the newly elected Hokage, Hatake Kakashi, heard rumors about a small country that owned an undying flame, he decided to send a reconnaissance team to investigate the phenomenon. After investigation through science and ninjutsu, they found out that a huge amount of natural gas was stored dormant under the hill. This gas erupted from the earth and burned continuously thanks to geothermal energy. The natural gas produced here fueled large machinery and was exported in large quantities to the Five Great Shinobi Countries. Thanks to this, the Land of Stairs developed rapidly. Her income has increased 17 times, and her average life expectancy has increased by 20 years compared to the same indicators 10 years ago. As a result, a process of increasing the well-being of society developed.

The people of the Land of Stairs admired the leaders of the traditional shinobi villages. Especially the Hokage, the leader of the Konohagakure, in whom they had special trust. Because more than 10 years ago, when the main industry of the Land of Stairs was still blacksmithing, the Sixth Hokage and Ikkyū Madoka provided funds for the development of the Land of Stairs. Despite the fact that the income of the Land of Stairs, which processes natural gas, has already exceeded the income of the Land of Fire three times, people still remember the difficult times when the Land of Fire lent them a helping hand.

Some time later, when Naruto Uzumaki became Hokage, the first country he visited was the Land of Stairs, where he discussed with the daimyo the issue of using gas.
