I've made some updates to it in the last few days, so I figured it might as well have its own topic.

Answer: The villages are placed in the spot where the most recent version of an official map had it located. Question: Why is the Valley of the End in that spot? I don't think it's been placed anywhere officially. Answer: You're correct, it hasn't. But it is a fairly easy assumption that if the Sound Four were going directly from Konoha to Sound, it shouldn't be too far off a straight line on the border between the two. Question: You have the Tea Country and those other two big islands... aren't they kind of big? Answer: Yes, yes they are. I overlaid the map in the anime filler arc that featured the country. When overlaid with an existing map to line up the coastal lines, it turns out those areas are reallly, really big. Question: What sources have you used to make this map? Answer: The anime, manga, official manga guidebooks, official fan books and the official website. The official manga guidebooks are the most recent of the official maps. Question: Why is the River Country in that spot? I don't think it has been shown on a map yet. Answer: Correct, manga chapter 255 states the country lies between Fire and Wind, and it is the only country on the map in this area not already identified. Question: Where is the Snow Country? Why don't I see it on the map? Answer: It annoys the hell out of me that it isn't on the map either. No official publication has identified its location. Once we know where it is, we will update the map. The Snow Country is suppose to be located on an island to the north of the Fire Country. In Movie One Team 7 travels by boat to the island. It is unknown if it is one of the islands northeast of the Wave Country or some other island off the present map. Question: What is with the Moon and )) symbols? Are they really ninja villages? Answer: The Moon symbol can be seen on a Chuunin Exam test taker, the )) can be seen on the headbands of two ninja watching the third test of the Chuunin Exam. Both are probably just a throwaway bit by Kishimoto or his assistants. Until they are mentioned again in the series, they should be considered semi-official. Question: You have Hidden Sound village as being located in the Rice Field Country? Shouldn't that be the Sound Country? Answer: As per anime episode 136, it was revealed Hidden Sound is actually located in the Rice Field Country. Recently in the manga, Yakushi Kabuto has refered to the country as the Sound Country. Contradiction?... maybe. If one wants to make it work, consider that Kabuto thinks the country is now Orochimaru's, and that he can damn well name it what he wants. Question: Swamp, Stone, Bird, Sea, Bear, Fang, Claw, Vegetable, etc? Where the hell did these come from? Answer: The Sixth, Seventh and Eighth seasons of Naruto featured a high amount of filler to allow the manga to get further ahead of the anime. As such Naruto and the Genin went on many missions throughout the world. These happened to include many countries never mentioned before. So far only the Bird and Sea Countries have been identified on the map. Question: You have emblems next to the country names, are those the canon emblems for the countries? Answer: For the Shinobi nations, yes this identifies their shinobi village. The lower country emblems are just to help identify the countries by more than color. They have no official canon bearing. You understand? NO OFFICIAL BEARING. Stop going to other sites saying we state those are the emblems, they ARE NOT. It's just for page formatting reasons and to help you differentiate them. Question: You seem to treat all these stupid filler countries as if they were canon... why? Answer: Simply for completion sake. Kishimoto is not that involved with the anime and it generally does not influence him. However, it has happened before, see Uchiha Uruchi and Teyaki. For that reason I treat all official world and map information as co-existing within the same continuity. Should Kishimoto later state something otherwise which contradicts information the anime stated, then the manga version will take precedence and the old information will be noted as being incorrect or outdated.

Paperwork Kage Posts: 4,070 Group: Admin Member #6 Joined: August 17, 2004	Thanks. :) Of all the stuff I've put on the site, the map is the thing I'm most proud of. It was the original thing which drove me to create the site honestly. (Which was almost exactly a year ago today) To be able to share that piece of work with the other fans online. Is probably why I like it to be as up to date as possible.

Shikamaru	Apr 7 2005, 07:59 AM Post #6
Paperwork Kage Posts: 4,070 Group: Admin Member #6 Joined: August 17, 2004	Yeah, that will probably be on the Locations guide page though. Whenever I finally get the time to put it together.

Effin' A Posts: 4,235 Group: Global Moderators Member #2 Joined: August 17, 2004	do we actually know if the 3 haze brothers are from the haze village? i thought that the symbole was a question mark, or ...... sperm.

resident non-poster Posts: 1,327 Group: Member Member #16 Joined: August 18, 2004	Actually, they just said 'We are the famous haze nin brothers!'[with the flashing pink HAZE] or something like that. no village mentioned.

Ninja Academy Student Posts: 15 Group: Member Member #179 Joined: February 28, 2005	Hmm... so where would Rice Country in the new filler be? There doesn't seem to be any empty land between Fire and Sound countries. Perhaps it's just a tiny Rice village sitting on the border belonging to either country.. or it's one of the empty masses of land next to Sound and Naruto and his gang ended up going off track.



Deleted User	May 14 2005, 03:46 PM Post #11
Deleted User	Could be between Waterfall and Sound, or to the right of Sound.

Whenever I finally get the time to put it together. There is a problem with that. Putting the discriptions of the villages in the location guide would limit the number of villages you can describe. We know the Stone is agressive and that Cloud is trick, but have seen neither village so they won't be in the location guide.



Shikamaru	May 30 2005, 07:51 PM Post #14
Paperwork Kage Posts: 4,070 Group: Admin Member #6 Joined: August 17, 2004	I would probably put up some form of information on the villages, even if they've never been explicitly seen.

Ninja Academy Student Posts: 9 Group: Member Member #285 Joined: April 17, 2005	I don't know if you have this up already since the site is down but, in ep 137 we can see the Hitai-ate of the Rice Field Country ninjas: Posted Image Also there's some mention of Kingin Country, which was in war with Rice Country a while back, I think you should mention that too. . .



Shikamaru	Jun 5 2005, 11:17 AM Post #16
Paperwork Kage Posts: 4,070 Group: Admin Member #6 Joined: August 17, 2004	Thanks, yeah the forehead protector is rather small to figure out what that exactly is. The mention of Kingin no Kuni, which if heard correctly is "Gold and Silver" Country, is nice. Probably borders Rice Field on one side.



Arcanis	Jun 6 2005, 12:40 PM Post #17
Ninja Academy Student Posts: 9 Group: Member Member #285 Joined: April 17, 2005	Yeah maybe... also, I think the hitai-ate is like this: Code: `_ _ _\| \|_\| \|_ \|_________\|`



Shikamaru	Jun 6 2005, 02:39 PM Post #18
Paperwork Kage Posts: 4,070 Group: Admin Member #6 Joined: August 17, 2004	Thanks, yeah I guess that looks about right, what that is suppose to be though is anyone's guess. Maybe the actual rice field steps... In any case, the symbol has since been replaced I would think with Orochimaru's note symbol so I'm not sure I would use it anywhere as of yet.

Silver and Gold...they manged to top rice feild as the stupidest country name! But they've hit the bottum now..right...right?? ANyway, you could use the headband symbol with the bios of the anti-Orochimaru group. Also, during the war seen, do you see the uniforms of those countries..?

resident non-poster Posts: 1,327 Group: Member Member #16 Joined: August 18, 2004	nah theyre all random clothed nins. no formal uniform.



Rain Nin	Jun 18 2005, 11:33 AM Post #22
Credit to Hattori Hanzo Posts: 2,810 Group: Member Member #35 Joined: August 21, 2004	okay, you didn't do that. But maybe you could have a destroyed village section. Also, where did you get the Gold and Sliver symbol, I didn't see it in the picture.



Shikamaru	Jun 22 2005, 03:28 PM Post #23
Paperwork Kage Posts: 4,070 Group: Admin Member #6 Joined: August 17, 2004	The gold and silver symbol is just something I made up. I wanted the things to look like rock and ore, to let people know that the kingin "gold and silver" are refering to monetary pieces, rather than the colors.

Sharingan Posts: 145 Group: Member Member #250 Joined: April 2, 2005	What about the location Guide?? Thats gonna be like a map of Konoha right!??! Like where Naruto's house is located and the Hokage's office is... It will be great if u can make it map style. And click on certain part of maps to look at the info on soem locations.



Deleted User	Jun 29 2005, 11:58 AM Post #25
Deleted User	The only way to do that is if one has been included in any form of databooks or encyclopedias. So far, I don't think even Kishimoto himself has drawn a full map of Konoha.
