Suna's close proximity with Iwagakure has led to numerous conflicts over the years, enough that enmity between its shinobi has become deep-seated. Despite the First Hokage's wishes for peace, the world eventually fell into war. Because Suna 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. Shortly after the formation of their villages, Konohagakure's First Hokage offered to sell tailed beasts to Suna as a sign of friendship and to ensure a balance of power amongst their new villages. Sunagakure was founded after the Warring States Period by the First Kazekage, who gathered the desert-dwelling shinobi under his control with his overwhelming power. Suna ninja place the value of missions above the lives of its shinobi, and as such, give their all in missions they partake, even if victory is futile. Sunagakure Shinobi commonly employ Wind Release jutsu, occasionally with the assistance of war fans. While other villages are typically comprised of clans, Sunagakure is made up of various families. As with shinobi of all hidden villages, most Suna shinobi will wear bandages on a single leg under their shuriken pouch. the uniform is typically paired with brown open-toed boots. The typical uniform consists of a brown long-sleeved shirt with matching brown pants, and a beige flak jacket is worn over the shirt.

Sunagakure is located in the middle of a desert.
