After Gaara was rescued and revived by Chiyo (at the cost of her own life) he was safely returned to Suna and is currently still the Kazekage. Regardless, Gaara was captured, and the village was in dismay.Īn urgent message was relayed to Konoha for assistance via messenger bird. When Akatsuki came to Suna to abduct Gaara, Sasori set several exploding tag traps and killed several guards, as well as reactivating two of his sleeper agents Yūra and Mukade, while Deidara nearly devastated the entire village were it not for Gaara's Sky Sand Protective Wall. By Part II, Gaara would be made Fifth Kazekage to replace his father. Once Orochimaru's deceit was discovered Sunagakure re-allied itself with Konoha, gaining much from the peace and leading to new prosperity for the village.


The Fourth Kazekage was killed and impersonated by Orochimaru to give the impression of support, and Sunagakure was falsely led to a devastating loss against Konoha's forces. Later, Sunagakure was approached by Orochimaru with a proposition for a joint invasion of Konoha. A fact which makes them highly unwilling allies. This has left the two villages age old enemies with each side holding a grudge against the other. As time passed, however, the Fourth came to appreciate Gaara's increasing control and returned to relying on him as a weapon.Īnother Village Sunagakure has frequently fought with, unsurprisingly due to their close proximity, is Iwagakure. It was hoped that Gaara would become a weapon for the village, but the power of Shukaku was too unstable and overwhelming for Gaara and the idea was abandoned. To make up for the loss of military power this created, the Fourth Kazekage had Chiyo seal Shukaku into its third host, his own son: Gaara. To compound this fact, following the Third Shinobi War, the Wind daimyo began outsourcing missions to Konoha, leading to a lack of funding for Sunagakure. Sunagakure frequently fought with Konohagakure Chiyo's attempts to poison enemies during the Second Great Shinobi World War were often counteracted by Tsunade. Research for such a technique was started and Chiyo eventually developed One's Own Life Reincarnation, but use of the jutsu came at too high a price at needing the user's life to complete the jutsu, thus the research was called off and the village continued to use normal puppets. Sometime in Sunagakure's history they created the Puppet Brigade in an attempt to create a jutsu that would give life to their puppets in order to increase their combat effectiveness. Sasori left the village after the emptiness of lacking parental love finally reached a breaking point, but later returned, kidnapped, and murdered the Third, likely sparking the Third Great Shinobi World War with Sunagakure's attempts to find him. The Third Kazekage was able to emulate Shukaku's abilities, earning recognition as the strongest Kazekage in history. At some point the village would come into possession of the One-Tailed Shukaku, and in the coming years the beast was sealed into three different hosts so that its abilities could be studied.

Shinobi from Sunagakure believe that the accomplishment of a mission predominates the lives of the ninja trying to accomplish it. The ninja from this village seem to specialize in Wind Release techniques and the Puppet Technique. There have been five Kazekage, the most recent being Gaara. As one of the five great ninja villages, Sunagakure has a Kage as its leader known as the Kazekage. Sunagakure (砂隠れの里, Sunagakure no Sato Literally meaning "Village Hidden in the Sand") is the hidden village of the Land of Wind.
