The vast desert surrounding Suna serves as a natural barrier against invasion. Its hidden village is Sunagakure no Sato, or "Village Hidden in the Sand". To the west of Konoha lies the Land of Wind, a dry desert country with a harsh climate. Marking the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Sound, the Valley of the End is distinguished by two massive statues, representing the epic battle between Hashirama Senju, the first Hokage, and his rival Madara Uchiha, which was so destructive that it actually carved out the valley where their statues now stand. Konoha is located deep within a forest in the Land of Fire, at the base of a large mountain where the faces of all the Hokages are carved. Naruto Uzumaki and his friends live in Konohagakure no Sato, or "Village Hidden in the Leaves". Let's see what they're hiding on this map!

Naruto is set in a world of intrigue and subterfuge, where the hidden villages all take great care to guard the secrets within their borders.
