Sunagakure - The Village Hidden In The Sand

Surrounded on all sides by just over half a mile of sandstone, this colossal mass of earth acts as the village’s first line of defense. It towers over any other structure, standing over 260ft tall. It is basically a giant wall, limiting access to the village to the skies and a single land entrance to the south of the village. The shape of the wall can change and when needed it can completely enclose the village, forming a dome, though this only occurs if the Dome Guard deems it necessary. Despite being comprised mainly of sandstone, the wall is infused with large amounts of chakra, boosting its hardness to an absurd degree.
Sunagakure’s layout is classified by three official districts. The northern segment of the village is designated as District 1, which houses all residential buildings. The central segment of Sunagakure is designated as District 2, the commercial district. District 3 comprises the entire southern segment of the village and is where all military related activities are carried out.
== Residential District (District #1) ==
As the name suggests, the Residential District is reserved for living accommodations, for both civilians and military personnel. All military personnel are given free single person accommodations. The Residential District is split into three blocks, each of which slightly differ for one another due to the types of housing available and their prices.

== Commerce District (District #2) ==
The central region of Sunagakure, is bustling with commercial activity. Here persons opting to refrain from military service establish various businesses. Those seeking employment outside of the military are sure to find it here.
== Military District (District #3) ==
Sunagakure’s military might occupies the southern segment of the village, where the only land exit is situated. Access to this district is limited to military personnel only. The Military District is essentially one giant military base, where the shinobi academy, special forces academy and other training grounds are located. Similar to the Residential District, the Military District is further broken down into three sections: East Wing, Central and West Wing. 
* East Wing - East Wing serves to help develop inexperienced military personnel into a capable and relentless force, ready to execute whatever orders they are given. It houses the shinobi and special forces academy, as well as training grounds for both regular and special forces.
* Central - Central is where the KazeKage’s office is situated and is the hub for all Sunagakure’s military activities.
* West Wing - West Wing is the smallest of the three, seemingly serving no known purpose. Access to this area is limited to certain members of the military as it leads to the unofficially District 4; which has been rumoured to be a network of underground laboratories and a hub for secretive military experiments.
=== Military Structure: ===
* KazeKage
The KazeKage is the village’s leader and the commander of its military. They hold the highest position of power within the village.
* Advisor
The rank of advisor is considered the second highest within Sunagakure’s military. Though misleading in both name and nature, the advisory is J Squad’s leader and performs whatever the KazeKage requires of them.
* Generals
Sunagaure’s military might is overseen by seven generals, all of which belong to a special squad and have been personally entrusted the position by the KazeKage. This squad has undergone many changes in name, but is currently known as J Squad.
==== Special Forces: ====
Besides the standard ranks of genin, chūnin, and jōnin, there are some shinobi who bear a special rank or function.
* J Squad
Though its members govern the military just beneath the KazeKage, J Squad is considered as one of the military’s special forces. The squad mainly undertakes assassinations and missions best kept discrete. It is under the direct control of the KazeKage.
* Dome Guard 
The expansive structure of stone surrounding Sunagakure is maintained and regularly monitored by this division. The Dome Guard is comprised of highly skilled earth release users who spend most of their time protecting Sunagakure’s first line of defense. They also oversee all persons entering and leaving the village.
* Border Patrol 
This division is tasked with patrolling the country’s land and sea borders. They aid in restricting access to the country, overseeing and preventing others from crossing the border if necessary. Border Patrol members spend lengthy periods of time away from the village, returning only when switching shifts or resupplying. 
* Puppet Brigade
As the name suggests, this division is made up of puppet users, though only those with exceptional skill are allowed in. The division’s purpose is to produce highly capable puppet users, who are kept in reserve until needed.
* Medical Division
The Medical Division trains medical-nin and manages the military hospital located in central. Medics are kept away from conflict and usually stay within Sunagakure or a secured base of operations, where they study new techniques, medicines, diseases and the body; though they can be assigned to aid teams.
* Survey Core
The Survey Core undergoes various intelligence gathering missions in other nations and as such its members are highly skilled shinobi, on par with and even above most jonin in terms of skill and experience. Selection into the Survey Core is considered to be the most difficult out of all the divisions as the nature of their missions requires the utmost best shinobi for the job. 
==== Regular Forces: ====
Regular Forces consist of those who are not a part of a division. They form the foundation of the village and its shinobi system. The majority of shinobi are a part of these forces and together, either individually or in teams, they perform the majority of the missions the village receives. They are also tasked with the various duties within the organisation, such as training and administrative duties. 
* Jonin
Jonin are generally highly experienced and highly skilled shinobi who serve as military captains. It is not unusual for jōnin to go on missions alone. They are often sent on A-rank missions, and if experienced enough, S-rank missions as well.
* Chunin
Chunin are ninja who have reached a level of maturity and ability that primarily consists of leadership skills and tactical prowess. Chūnin are typically sent on C-rank or B-rank missions. Some are even assigned as Academy Teachers.
* Genin
Genin are the lowest level of ninja and also the ones that display the most difference in power. When they become genin, ninja start to do their bit for their village's economy – being sent on missions that the village gets paid for. They are typically sent either on D-rank missions, which are almost entirely risk-free jobs of manual labour, or, rarely, on C-rank missions, which are a cut above that and begin to verge on real "ninja" work that have a very low possibility of risk to the ninja involved.
* Academy Student
Academy Students make up the student body of the Academy, where they are trained and prepared for life as a shinobi. They are not an actual part of the shinobi force, as they are still in the process of mastering the very basics of the ninja lifestyle. However, they can be conscripted as part of the war potential in times of emergency.
== Intelligence and Research District (District #4) ==
The Intelligence and Research District known as District 4, is a massive underground complex beneath Sunagakure. The complex spans below both the Military and Market district, with numerous hidden entrances scattered throughout Sunagakure. The complex functions as a hub for all of Sunagakure's military experiments. Only those with the rank of general and above are allowed access to District 4.
