'''Sunagakure''' is a village that features in [[Naruto]]. ==History== ===Origin=== Sunagakure (砂隠れの里, Sunagakure no Sato, literally meaning: Village Hidden by Sand) was a hidden village of shinobis situated in the '''Land of Wind''' in the [[Ninja World]]. It was founded after the '''Warring States Period''' by the '''First Kazekage''', who gathered the desert-dwelling shinobi under his control with his overwhelming power. Shortly after the formation of their villages, Konoha's First [[Hokage]] offered to sell [[Tailed Beasts (Naruto)|tailed beasts]] to the sand village as a sign of friendship and to ensure a balance of power amongst their new villages. As Sunagakure already had the One-Tail, the First Kazekage instead tried to negotiate for a percentage of the sale price to the other villages and a portion of the Land of Fire's territory instead. Despite the First Hokage's wishes for peace, the world eventually fell into war. Sunagakure's close proximity with [[Iwagakure]] led to numerous conflicts over the years, enough that enmity between its shinobi has become deep-seated. During the Second Shinobi World War, Chiyo's attempts to poison enemies were consistently counteracted by Konoha's [[Tsunade (Naruto)|Tsunade]]. For times of war, Suna researched different jutsu to give it an advantage over other villages. As Puppet Technique was so popular amongst its shinobi, the '''Puppet Brigade''' was formed and they experimented with testing to see whether there was a way to give life to their puppets. This led to the creation of the One's Own Life Reincarnation technique, but the cost of a human life to perform it made it impractical and Suna soon abandoned the project. Since the time of the Second Kazekage, the village has studied the [[Jinchūriki|jinchūriki]] of its One-Tail in an attempt to reproduce the beast's abilities. The Third Kazekage was able to mimic the One-Tail's powers using Iron Sand, and with it he gained fame as the strongest Kazekage in history. When he mysteriously disappeared one day, Suna went to great lengths to find him, spreading its forces thin in the search and leaving the village under-defended. When others took this opportunity to declare war on Suna, the village was forced to call off the search, never learning the Third's fate. [[Sasori of the Red Sand]] who was the grandson of Chiyo came to be considered to be a prodigy in the art of puppets, and built many innovative puppets that dyed the sands red with enemies' blood during the Third Shinobi World War, thus leading to him gaining his epithet. However, he defected from the village around 20 years before the abduction of the Fifth Kazekage, and shortly after, his grandmother and granduncle, both celebrated veterans, retired. ===Naruto=== It was then that the village was approached by two members of the [[Akatsuki (Naruto)|Akatsuki]] where through spies they gained entry into it. This saw [[Deidara]] looking for the jinchuriki where his infiltration was discovered by Gaara leading to a battle between the pair. At first, Gaara came to put up a fight against Deidara but he gained the advantage by targeting the village itself and through trickery where he managed to defeat the Kazekage. This allowed him to claim the jinchuriki where he joined his compatriot Sasori as they escaped to their headquarters. Traps were used to eliminate any pursuers with [[Kankurō]] being badly injured in an encounter with Sasori. He came to be recovered by Sunagakure shinobi though they struggled to find an antidote for the poison used on him. ===Next Generations=== ==Overview== One noted group within the village was the '''Puppet Brigade''' (傀儡部隊, Kugutsu Butai, English TV: Puppet Master Corps). ==Inhabitants== *'''Chiyo''' : *'''Sasori''' : *'''Baki''' : *'''Gaara''' : *'''Kankuro''' : *'''Temari''' : ==Notes== *Sunagakure was created by Masashi Kishimoto where it featured in the setting of the Naruto universe. ==In other media== ===Television=== ===Films=== ===Video games=== ==Appearances== *''Naruto'': *''Boruto: Next Generations'': ==External Links== *[https://naruto.fandom.com/wiki/Sunagakure Naruto Wiki Entry] {{stub}} [[Category:Villages]] [[Category:Settlements]] [[Category:Cities]] [[Category:Naruto]] [[Category:Masashi Kishimoto]]
