       Sunagakure (Hidden Sand)

       Sunagakure (砂隠れの里, Sunagakure
       no Sato, Literally meaning: Village Hidden by Sand) is the
       hidden village of the Land of Wind. As the village of one of the
       Five Great Shinobi Countries, Sunagakure has a Kage as its
       leader known as the Kazekage, of which there have been seven in
       its history. Being surrounded by desert offers the village a
       natural deterrent against invasion, as few foreign powers would
       be willing to endure the sandstorms and water scarcity common to
       Suna. Sunagakure itself lies in a fortified valley behind cliffs
       of rock, with passage in and out of the village restricted to a
       single cleft between two cliff faces, making the area very hard
       to attack from the ground. The buildings inside seem to be made
       of clay or stucco, which would help to keep the buildings cool.
       In current days, with the aid of power generators from the
       Hidden Leaf, Suna has worked to make it's lands more
       inhabitable, building the localized cooling units, locating
       multiple
       new water sources, and using surrounding lands to grow an array
       of plants and herbs that weren't possible in the past. Under the
       eye of the seventh Kazekage, Suna still has a strong bond with
       Konoha

       Tama rarely showed any emotion on her face. If she did, she
       would probably be much more relatable. She appeared twelve years
       younger than she was, and  she was actually rather kind! Her
       stone face simply made her appear intimidating!
       Even so, Everyone in the village loved her. She had advanced the
       hidden sand by leaps and bounds in the time since becoming
       Kazekage.  It was early, and there was only one assignment that
       needed to be issued immediately, so she decided to go ahead and
       get it out of the way.
       "Send in Squad 1."

       The angry sun threw waves of heat over her neck as she removed
       her jacket and slung it over the crippled wooden chair beside
       her. Or what was left of it anyways. The thing was probably as
       old as the sand mounds in the East. It was high noon, the
       hottest hour of the day, making it difficult to practice.
       Instead of caving in under the pressure of the heat, she pushed
       herself, angling her hands just right, and summoned the energy
       that enticed her rattled nerves. A light breeze picked up, but
       it was not the wind, rather the unleashing of the energy into
       the atmosphere. Her eyes shut, hiding the bright blue orbs, as a
       droplet of sweat followed her hairline down to her chin. The
       tips of her fingers prickled, but only silence ensued.
       Right before she could collapse beneath the strain, she gave up.
       She placed her hands on her knees as she fought to catch her
       breath. Her mouth was uncomfortably dry. A curse emitted from
       her lips as she grabbed her jacket and headed out of the
       training grounds and back into town.
       Ever since her loss to Raidon, nothing had been the same between
       her and Akito. Although he did not say it, she could read the
       disappointment in his eyes. Rikona had lost more than just a
       tournament that day.
       Although the day was still young, everyone in the village was
       out and about, to her dismay. There had been talk of her defeat,
       and worse, unseemly rumors. She tried not listen to them, but
       she knew Akito heard them too.
       Although she had worn herself out, Rikona entered an
       establishment to meet up with her squad to go before the leader.
       She grabbed a cup of water along the way and then waited in
       silence until they were ushered in.

       Once the team had arrived, the Kazekage looked up from her
       paperwork, eyes settling on each of the young ones before she
       cleared her throat. She wasted no time getting straight to
       business. "I have a mission for you. Hopefully, it will be
       uneventful, but I need you to be on your guard all the same."
       She picked one of the papers from her desk and looked it over
       before continuing, the lack of laugh lines in her face becoming
       more apparent as the sun beamed in from outside. "The Feudal
       Lord of the Land of Wind will be meeting with the Feudal Lord of
       the Land of Fire in the Hidden Leaf. The three of you will serve
       as his 24 hour guard until the time negotiations are complete.
       Akito will serve as the Team Captain."
       The Sand was the only team in the Chunin exams to have all three
       of it's members promoted to Chunin, but Akito had undeniably
       performed the most admirably, winning the entire tournament by
       defeated Uchiha Raidon in the final round.
       "Prepare your things and be ready to leave in no more than 30
       minutes. You will be traveling to the Hidden Leaf by rail car."
       With that, they were dismissed to get ready.

       Her jaw flexed visibly. The idea of Akito being the leader was
       not absurd. His track record was impressive, having beaten
       Uchiha and proven himself to all the providences.
       Out of her peripheral, she looked him over as her stomach
       knotted.
       As soon as they were dismissed, she left the room without
       speaking once. When her few belongings were packed into a few,
       meager bags, she boarded the rail car. In the furthest, most
       secluded available seat, she situated herself and closed her
       eyes, allowing the sand dooms to bleed into lively greenery
       outside of the window.
