Konohagakure

Konohagakure (木ノ葉隠れの里, Konohagakure no Sato) is the hidden village of the Land of Fire. As the village of one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries, Konohagakure has a Kage as its leader known as the Hokage. Konoha resides deep within a forest at the base of a mountain known as the Hokage Rock, which has the faces of all those who have taken the office of Hokage engraved on it.

Konoha was founded after a peace agreement was reached between the two strongest ninja clans within the Land of Fire; the Senju and the Uchiha. During the days that ninja first settled into Konoha, debate was heavy as to who should lead the village. The clans could not decide amongst themselves who would become Hokage. Tensions rose, and nearly broke the truce between the Senju and Uchiha. Only when this was realized did the Senju and Uchiha forbid themselves from electing their selves into the position of the first Hokage. It was decided through a vote that Ieyasu Akimichi would take office, his reputation as a renowned ninja and his acute sagacity proved him worthy of leadership.
