Shukuba Town

"Post town" or "outpost town" in the Land of Fire, ten kilometers or so from Konohagakure; it was here that Itachi Uchiha first re-encountered and battled Sasuke, and that Naruto Uzumaki first discovered that Akatsuki was in pursuit of him. The small town features numerous bath houses and inns, one of which is mostly destroyed in the battle between Itachi and Sasuke. In this battle, Sasuke attacks Itachi with Chidori, but misses, taking out an entire wall. Later on, Itachi and Kisame Hoshigaki destroy another wall while escaping Jiraiya's Toad Mouth Bind.
