Demon Desert

The is a desert located in the Land of Wind, far away from the actual Sunagakure. It serves as the stage for the second phase of the joint Chūnin Exams, and is roughly the equivalent to Konohagakure's Forest of Death. One of the dangers in this area is that giant scorpions come out during certain times of the year, posing a serious threat to anyone wandering within the premises. It is also home of poisonous cacti, areas with quicksand and sand currents, as well as old ruins with a nest of gigantic, sturdy ants.

In the centre of the desert lies a tower where all the genin candidates are to rendezvous after having the Heaven and Earth Scroll set.
