Within the Land of Iron, in a very rocky and mountainous area, an invisible barrier hiding the Akatsuki is hidden amongst the scenery. The barrier also cloaks the entrance to the hideout with a special genjutsu that immediately effects a person that attempts to locate the lair and infiltrate. It literally cuts people off from the world around them, preventing any outside interference from those outside the barrier. The genjutsu will alter their sight, causing them to see a false surrounding and before they can even realize it, their body will become overwhelmed by a numbing sensation before soon going unconscious, succumbing to an overwhelming sensation of exhaustion.
Usually, while the victims are knocked out, Akatsuki members will either capture them, pierce them through the heart or behead them. There are several signs warning people to not proceed any further because the forest is rogue ninja territory. People have died there before, the smell of blood proves this fact. It is said that one of the Akatsuki members controls this barrier. If he is defeated or killed, perhaps it may be dispelled.
