Land of Wind

The is a typically dry and windy climate, and is covered in large deserts as a result. Sandstorms are a common occurrence.

The Land of Wind is home to Sunagakure. It had been relatively uninvolved with politics until recent times, and even had a peace treaty signed with the Land of Fire. The lord ruling it, however, has been systematically cutting down its military force and transferring missions he would normally address to his own country's hidden village to Konohagakure. It conspired with Otogakure to launch a surprise attack and hopefully destroy Konohagakure. The ninja of Sunagakure tend to use wind and sand-based jutsu, although some of its notable ninja are masters of puppet techniques. The Kage for the Land of Wind is the Kazekage. Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari, along with their mentor, Baki, are all from the Land of Wind, and in Part 2 of the Naruto series, Gaara becomes the Kazekage.
