Stories from Solitary Shinobi
Pshh. You want to what?
..
Seriously? Okay. Right, so quick history lesson for ya. Sunagakure was born because the Shodai Kazekage was crazy stupid strong and clans kept flocking to him. Apparently we were powerful enough that we were invited to the 5 Kage Summit and have been considered a major village ever since.
What? You want more? Seesh fine. Since Sunagakure is located in a massive desert most of our shinobi are great stealth specialists. Hard to hide in a featureless sandy basin you say? Well there could be one under your feet right now! Seriously though. Sand
Our only resource is sand. Our biggest enemy is sand. And when there's a fucking tanuki that can manipulate sand and kill you in a second you learn to beware sand.
Bijuu man. Fuck the goddamn Shodai hokage. Why would he offer us another damn monster when we can barely control our own? Hell, I'd say he's out of control more than he is in control. At least come over and fucking help us seal the bastard. Thank kami for Bunpuku but he's done nothing to keep the Ichibi suppressed. I swear the stupid brat is responsible for half of our shinobi losses, god knows what the civilian deaths are.
We've got a good mix of elemental affinities in the village, which is half the reason we've managed to stay on the map. The other half is y'know, no smart Kage will send their shinobi into a wasteland a bunch of crazies managed to survive in y'know? Our Raiton users are amongst the most active shinobi just because goddamn Iwa nin won't stop going into our borders. If we couldn't counter Doton then we'd be wiped out in a second I swear.
You bastards aren't innocent either. There's always some goddamn Konoha shinobi trying to get in. I mean, at least they do it legally but what the fuck do we say when Sharingan no Kakashi requests entrance? The fucking Daimyo won't fucking stop outsourcing our goddamn missions to motherfucking Konoha! We're literally scrabbling in the dust for any damn mission and if this goes on we're going to have to put half our damn shinobi on leave without pay. You know what happens then? The village will fall within a week! It's only because of our Yondaime Kazekage that we even have missions and that's because he has friends in some very high places. I can't stress how little we're getting from the Daimyo. I'm a fucking Jonin and I'm guarding a caravan. He's starving us out, I swear.
Kekkei Genkai? Well, this isn't exactly classified information not really spoken about. Most Kekkei Genkai users are taught by other family members, and if they're new or are powerful either a Jonin or our Kazekage oversees their training. Sunagakure, well, we have a small pool of Kekkei Genkai, but most of it isn't restricted to one family. Every now and then you'll see a Scorch jutsu being practiced, and our Magnet release users are specially taught by the Kazekage. They're essential in controlling the fucking tanuki, I tell you. Other than that, well, it's not like we have something crazy like the Sharingan y'know? I mean somebody popping up with Steel release was enough to send us into a frenzy. Last I heard they were being personally trained by the Kazekage with even talks of a marriage contract to make sure we still have some Koton users in the village.
Some shit man, y'know? Sunagakure is my home but even I can tell we're in some pretty deep shit. I mean sure Konohagakure will back us up but that doesn't mean much when an Iwa nin is about to blow your entire position up right?
Mm. Mm. Yea. He gestures to somewhere in the distance You see that? No? Really? Well, there's a massive dust storm coming this way. We're a few days out from Sunagakure to I don't even know whether it's the Ichibi gone loose or something that'll blow over in a few hours. Best we get out of the way anyways. Hm? What do I do? Well, this is something that only Suna nin do, and we're damn proud. Around him several mounds of sand burst and strange constructs jump out I'm a proud member of Sunagakure's puppet corps. Our prized skill and the one thing other hidden villages can't replicate. God help them when the puppet strikes.
