Land of the Night

The is an island which is situated off the coast of Kirigakure's island. It was formed by refugees from the Land of Water, who were fleeing persecution from the latter's citizens during civil wars which wracked the country. The skies surrounding this island are perpetually overcast, which result in the country having cold, dark, and dank weather. Oddly enough, however, it rains far less in the Land of Night Viewing than one would think for an island that is eternally covered in clouds. In addition, the island is surrounded by whirlpools created by a very powerful ninja, such that no one is able to get in or out of the country unless the whirlpools are temporarily halted.

The Land of Night Viewing contains Yamaji Village, which serves as a home and training grounds for its ninja population. It is also the place where An'un, a powerful organization dedicated to bringing about the ruination of Kirigakure, was founded. Ninja from this country, like Kirigakure, seem to have an affinity for water techniques, but the majority are well-versed in other elemental natures as well. Moreover, many of the ninja from this country are practitioners of fujutsu, an arcane art which involves summoning souls from the afterlife and binding them to oneself, in order to use their spiritual power for various methods.
