Yokuchigakure

Yokuchigakure
===Yokuchugakure ( 沃地,  The Village Hidden in the Oasis) is a small village within the desert of the wind country that has a life tree in the center of their village that carries its own source of natural chakra and helps the sustain the land around it as far as the roots run out from the tree. - The village is a 2 day walk from Suna. The people of this village have adapted for so long that they now carry this particular hybrid of natural chakra and human chakra that reacts with the chakra lilies from the Life tree and is fed chakra to sustain the constant blooming of the lilies each year. ===

The chakra there lilies have been known to form a symbiotic relationship with the person who picks that particular bloom once given chakra and can be utilized in various ways, similar to the flower ninja art in the land of Vegetables. This natural energy produces a common technique based yang release and life release to manipulate the "life" substance within the petals of the plants within the village borders.

Past & Future
When the first settlers came to this oasis, they noticed so much life sustained from a single large tree centering the village that led to the villagers growing ill from the tree's chakra and many people died due to it's ability to infect and deteriorate the tenketsu or "chakra system" within the human body.

Mainly adults, sickly children, and the elderly obtained this " Life Stigma", while healthy children of age 1-3 were perfectly fine and adapted quickly to this Life Chakra on their own.

The village elder eventually discovered the leaf of the chakra lilly could be brewed into a tea to encourage the body's natural adaptation to the chakra and nullify its qualities.

Generations after the tea flourished, it became known as a natural delicacy for it's lovely scent and semi sweet taste and less as an antidote since the tree's chakra becomes nullified due to the villager's attuning their chakra to it every year during the festival.

Native plants to the village include the chakra lilly, the stigma rose, and a fruit called "lemon berries" used in many recipes and deserts.

The village was titled the Village Hidden in the Oasis due to the oasis that surrounded the tree and has only a hand full of ninja who protect its borders and secure the safety of outsiders who visit quite often. There is said to be a lore told by the village elders which tells of the Sage of Sixth Paths originally creating this tree to benefit later generations and creating a natural defense for the tree as well. If a person has malicious intent and tries using the village's tree to their advantage, when they attune their chakra, the stigma is directly synced into their chakra system, killing them within a matter of hours.As for culture, the village developed a Buddhist and pacifistic culture over the years and became a great religious sanctuary for those who come to worship the Life Tree as a gift from the Sage.

Life Festival
Each year the village holds the Life Festival to celebrate the gift of the Life Tree and serves all sorts of lemon berry deserts and traditional dishes such as mitarashi dango and even ramen which is said to be second best to Ichiraku by Naruto himself upon visiting at his leisure.
