[u][b]History:[/b][/u] The Land of Wind was very much shaped by those whose motto was to go wherever the wind carried them. The land was colonized first by around a hundred nomadic clans who were not bound to any one place. These small families, no larger than one or two generations of people, gathered in the sand covered wasteland and saw something many people did not: a blank slate with which they could do anything with. Those clans with the intellectuals or natural born leaders came together to plan a course of action and decide on how best to start living with their families in this previously uninhabited desert. One such clan was that belonging to a young Daisuke Morizashi. 

The Morizashi were a group of beast-taming ninja known for their amazing strength. They were, in many ways, the protectors of the group of settlers. Diverse in their skills, and knowledge of survival, it was only natural that they were at the forefront of village development. The group settled in the area that is now Akuma (see below) and started to slowly develop and grow in numbers. Little did the newcomers know, that the land was already planning to be taken by a group of bandits that called themselves Owari (The End). These rebels were made up of the criminals and outcasts of the other lands who had come to take refuge in the deserted sands in the Land of Wind. This encounter with the Owari would lead to a conflict that is still going on today, nearly a century later. 

With the Owari's number of fighting individuals, there was no chance for the settlers to stay in the area. Many clans broke away from the group to escape the dangers, traveling to what are now coastal villages to seek refuge. Eventually, the Owari pushed the group of clans back closer to the border where the land was unclaimed. This is now where the Hidden Sand is located. It is said that the people stumbled upon a large crater in the earth, and that was where they started to rebuild. 

As a new nation, hardly century old, those put in power to watch over the people were naive, in that they thought the temporary sanctuary would last. When the war started in other parts of the world, the newly chosen First Kazekage at first did nothing. He saw the conflicts going on outside the Land of Wind to not be his problem. He continued to slowly build the village as the number of people living there began to ride. He had little concern with defense or safety. And then, when the fight came to their doorstep, things were nearly laid to waste. Lord First ended up participating in the protection of the people, fighting with only a few at his side while the villagers were rushed underground to safety. He nearly lost his life in the battle, if not for one of his beast summoning, he would have died on the field.

It is hard to say how much the new village had lost in the war, but the most prevalent loss was the spirits of the people. Many became enraged and scared, and so Daisuke set in motion a set of plans meant to rebuild the Village to an even better place than it previously was. 

The First Kazekage lived to the old age of seventy-nine, passing away in his sleep the day before his eightieth birthday. This was a hard blow to the village after losing their protector and leader. Many were skeptical of Yuzuki's ability to lead the village towards success when she was chosen to be the successor to Lord First. She was young compared to him, had no experience in the war, but what she did have was the unwavering loyalty to the village, and a profound love for its citizens. Slowly Yuzuki grew to become a motherly figure in the village as she set to change some things the First left behind for her. 

With the village growing skywards, the spirits of the people began to grow with it. Sunagakure now has villagers who are all devoted in playing a roll in helping the village grow even more. Though no nation is without the occasional setback, the expected economic growth rate is predicted to be off the charts and higher than any time the First ruled. 

Yuzuki is now in her second year as Kazekage, and there are still many items to check off on her list of achievements. Nonetheless, Sunagakure is becoming a place people travel across the world to live in.

Known as the starting point of Sunagakure, it is told in history books that this was where the people of the Hidden Sand resided before the village was founded. It is now a ghost of its former glory, despite many people still living there. However, many people still take the day's journey to and from the Sand and Akuma to its many unique shops.

[u][b]Tōge - The Mountain Pass Village[/b][/u]
Once the headquarters of the bandit organization the Sand spent many years to defeat, this village is now home to many nomadic families and clans. This area is very diverse in culture because of the low restrictions for those who are allowed to live here. It is rumored that there are still bandit activity going on in secret, but Sand shinobi are quick to put a stop to such things.
