The Shinobi World

Kusagakure, the Hidden Grass Village, is a secretive and unassuming shinobi settlement known for its use of camouflage, poisons, and guerrilla tactics. Located at a vital crossroads between larger nations, it has long acted as a silent player in the politics of the shinobi world — adapting, hiding, surviving. The village specializes in stealth, botany-based techniques, and underground intelligence. To outsiders, it appears quiet and neutral… but few truly understand its depth.

Kusagakure is tucked deep within a maze of tall grass fields, vine-covered ravines, and dense bamboo groves. Buildings are low to the ground and often built into hillsides or beneath grassy mounds, with rooftops designed to blend into the landscape. Wooden walkways twist through the underbrush, and natural overgrowth is used to mask hidden entrances and shinobi outposts. Vines hang from stone arches, moss carpets walkways, and lanterns made of bark and bioluminescent fungi light the paths at night. Caves beneath the village house hidden chambers, labs, and emergency tunnels. It is a village that vanishes into nature — silent, observant, and hard to find unless it wants to be.
