History

Origin

Konohagakure (木ノ葉隠れの里, Konohagakure no Sato, English TV: "Village Hidden in the Leaves" or "Hidden Leaf Village", Literally meaning: Village Hidden by Tree Leaves) was a hidden village of shinobis situated in the Land of Fire in the Ninja World. Its origins were traced back to the Warring States Period when ninja were organised into small mercenary clans that knew nothing but battle. In that time, the two strongest ninja clans were the Senju and Uchiha who had fought another across their entire history. Looking to end the conflict, Hashirama Senju used his position as leader of his clan to broker a truce with the Uchiha by speaking to his childhood friend Madara Uchiha who had headed his people. The resultant peace led to the allies along with any affiliated clan forming the first shinobi village that was Konohagakure whose name was given by Madara himself. In time, other villages began to form as they followed Konoagakure's example leading to an end to the Warring States Period.

Naruto

In the midst of the tournament, the sand ninja and their hidden allies the sound ninja betrayed the shinobi of the hidden leaf where they enacted a large scale attack on Konohagakure.

Upon arriving in the village, the Lady Tsunade was inducted as Konogakure's new leader and she took the mantle of the Fifth Hokage.

After Sasuke Uchiha departed the village for Otagakure, the Hokage decided to assemble a makeshift ninja team with the purpose of recovering him and preventing him from becoming a host body for Orochimaru. The team was led by newly elevated Chunin Shikamaru Nara who took talented lower ranking ninja on the mission to intercept the Sound Four ninja who were escorting Sasuke back to their village. Unknown to the team, the Hokage contacted the Village Hidden in the Sands about a joint operation to thwart the scheme of Orochimaru with the two villages forming a temporary alliance.

During this time, Sunagakure and Konohagakure conducted joint training exercises in order to improve the former shinobi's talent pool of ninja.

Afterwards, the leaf came to learn that the sand village had been attacked by the Akatsuki who had abducted their Sazekage and jinchuiriki host. As a result, Konohagakure dispatched a team of ninja to help in the rescue mission.

The village later came to sight the activities of another group of Akatsuki with a shinobi team gathered to capture one of the two travelling pair. Headed by Asuma Sarutobi, they waited in ambush where they attacked Hidan and Kakuzu but despite their numbers they were unable to defeat the pair. The fight came to lead to the death of Asuma Sarutobi though his comrades managed came to escape when reinforcements arrived to counter the Akatsuki who departed after receiving orders from their superiors to withdraw from the scene. This allowed the leaf to take Asuma Sarutobi's body back to the village where he was mourned by his fellow shinobi.

Next Generations

During the Chunnin Exams, the contestants managed to reach the final round of the matches when they were interrupted by the arrival of members of the Ōtsutsuki Clan. These horned celestial beings had come in order to claim the chakra of the Nine-Tails from the Hokage leading to a battle with Naruto. Due to civilians being around, Naruto was unable to unleash his full power leading to his capture with the village attempting to deal with the aftermath of the devastation. In this time, Sasuke along with the other Kage as well as Boruto Uzumaki went forth to help find and rescue Naruto from the Otsutsuki Clan.

Overview

In appearance, Konohagakure was a shinobi village that was located in the Land of Fire. It was ranked by one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries and was headed by one of the Kage (影, literally meaning: Shadow) which in its case was the Hokage (火影, literally meaning: Fire Shadow). Konohagakure was located by Hokage Rock (火影岩, Hokage-iwa) that was a mountain overlooking the village that had all the faces of the Hokage carved onto the stone.

Clans that called Konohagakure their home included:

  • Aburame Clan : one of the four noble clans of Konohagakure. From birth, members of this clan were offered to several special breeds of insects as a nest where they resided under their host's skin. These insects then lived in symbiosis with their host from that point on and they used insects in battle.
  • Akimichi Clan :

  • Inuzuka Clan :
  • Kohaku Clan :
  • Kurama Clan : a clan of extremely skilled genjutsu users whose talent drew from a kekkei genkai that the clan possessed.

The Konoha Military Police Force (木ノ葉警務部隊, Konoha Keimu Butai, Literally meaning: Tree Leaf Military Police Force) were responsible for maintaining the law and peace with this being led to them being called the Leaf Police Force.

The village maintained their own Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai (暗殺戦術特殊部隊, Literally meaning: Special Assassination and Tactical Squad) that were a team of covert special operations ninja.

An elite sub-division of Anbu was the Root (根, Ne, English TV: Foundation) that were a black ops unit within the village.

In the past, the village produced three legendary ninjas who came to be awarded the title of the Sannin (伝説の三忍, Densetsu no Sannin, Literally meaning: Legendary Three Ninja).

It maintained a set of protocols that were to be employed if the village was ever attacked with the first being to eliminate enemy units.
