~Several of the characters are from the hidden village of Sand. To name a few of the characters from Sand, we have Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari. These three went to Konoha to take the Chuunin exam, which was only a cover for their real plan. The Kazakage is Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari's father, and he was assasinated by Orochimaru. The Kazakage also attempted to kill his own son Gaara serveral times.~
