It serves as the stage for the second phase of the joint Chūnin Exams, and is roughly the equivalent to Konohagakure's Forest of Death, in size and in risk. In the centre of the desert lies the central tower, where the Suna Exploration Group and Kazekage monitor the exam from. It is also where all the genin candidates are to rendezvous after having the Heaven and Earth Scroll set.

== Trivia ==
* In Naruto the Movie: Legend of the Stone of Gelel, Haido's Knights attacked the Land of Wind in their quest of searching for the Gelel vein, meaning the country is close to Temujin's Continent.
* The Land of Wind is often said to border the Land of Fire, however, maps show that the Land of Rivers is right in between them. Whether the map is wrong or the Land of Rivers is smaller than initially thought is currently unknown.
