Hidden Sound Village

Hidden Sound Village is the newest Shinobi village so far. Unknown to the other Shinobi leaders, It was Orochimaru who created the Sound village as a way for him to build up an army in order to attack his former village Konoha. Unlike many of the other villages, which claim to be secret but have grown far to large to be called that, the location of hidden sound is largely unknown to the people that surrounded. Buried deep into the earth Sound is large maze of catacombs going deeper and deeper into the Earth. The only known entrance is a small house with steps leading deep into the earth, surrounded by towering trees deep in the forest. This gives the village of sound the illusion of being much smaller than it is when in actuality it is quite large.

Located in the Land of Rice, the surrounding area is mostly cultivated land and forest. When the shinobi village was allowed into the country it was believed that it would help bring prosperity to the surrounding country, which was a mainly poor area. This was not the effect as The leader Orochimaru was more interested in building an army then in supporting the country. By the time this was learned they had become far too powerful, and Orochimaru had broken up any of the clans who might have fought against him, forcing members to join his ranks or face the destruction of the whole clan. While many of the Shinobi of sound come from many different countries many of them have the same jutsu types, using sound as their weapon. This can vary between using shock waves or in controlling puppets using a flute. Some shinobi that come from the sound village are: Kabuto, Kimimaru and Tayuya.
