Shark Reef Cliff

Shark Reef Cliff (Et "Same Sasu Gake"), is a high cliff just outside Kirigakure. It's sheer rock face climbs two hundred feet high, with a straight drop into the waters below. The cliff overlooks the village of Kirigakure, separated only by the Chigiri Sea. The cliff got its name from the highly dense population of local sharks that circle the waters below. These sharks were not always present however. The reason this cliff became such a danger, is because it was a popular destination frequented by Bane Anahari. The hunter-nin would often encounter bodies he needed disposing of, or even worse, Jashinists from the neighboring Land of Hot Water. With no real way to kill them, he would bind them around stones with his wires, sewing every bit of flesh to some other chunk of flesh so that they could not move or be pieced together, until they wrapped the stone in their broken and misplaced bits. Carrying the bleeding, and sometimes living corpses of his victims, Bane would arrive at Shark Reef Cliff, and promptly throw them into the water, where the stones they were bound to would sink to depths of the sea. However, continuous practice of this caught the attention of the water's local inhabitants, and they began frequenting the spot, knowing the hunter-nin would soon throw in some more prey. The sharks would devour the bodies, further separating their parts to separate comers of the sea, to be digested and disposed of. It became a symbiotic relationship, and Bane grew fond of throwing corpses to the sharks, thinking it meditative, like one would while feeding birds.
