The village of Toppūgakure rests within Mt. Sōran, the highest point of elevation within the Land of Apples. The mountain in which the village resides is very extremely windy and there are constant windstorms that provide great natural protection. Through many generations both the shinobi & residents of Toppūgakure have built a resistance against the strong winds of Mt. Sōran. Likewise, the shinobi of Toppūgakure specialize in Wind techniques. A unwritten yet highly regarded rule in Toppūgakure, established by the Second Taifūkage, is that all shinobi should put the well being of the village before themselves.
