Ninja World Geography Guide

List of the many countries in the Ninja World.

The Ninja World in Naruto is strongly based upon old Japanese customs and traditions. Technology in the Ninja World may seem confusing at times. Guns, cars, and military vessles don't exist, yet computers, TVs, video games, and two-way radios do. Despite this fact, many villages use carrier pigeons to comunicate. Each country appears to be ruled by a Daimyou (feudal lord). Several countries have Shinobi Villages to help maintain their economy and provide military strength in times of war.
