Village Hidden in the Leaves.
History - Detailed :
The Foundation of Konohagakure,
Gakuro Senju, The First Hokage and Forest Creator
After the long and bloody period of the Warring Clans, Konohagakure was founded by the co-operation of the Uchiha and Senju clan. The leaders of both clans came to an agreement as they together build the Leaf together. It was the start of the Hidden Village System as end of the Warring Clans period. Due his impressive skill with Wood Release, Gakuro Senju was chosen by both the Senju as majority of the Uchiha clan to become the First Hokage.
In the first few years, both the Senju as the Uchiha clan were focused on building and expanding the village. It started to flourish, but soon they were getting trouble. Due the fact that they were expanding in the Fire Country, establishing outposts, they attracted the anger of the Kyuubi. For time they managed to evade the beast as they weren't sure if they would be a match against the beast. Only for the beast to attack clan after clan, who were fleeing towards Konohagakure. Thought it helped the economy as military strength of the Leaf, something had to be done.
Under the leadership of Gakuro, the clans of Konohagakure united and fought against the Nine Tails. After a long and hard struggle, they finally were able to calm the beast as well restrain it. It was sealed away as Gakuro wasn't sure if somebody would be able to fully control the powers of a Bijuu. Even though rumours were confirmed later that people like the First Raikage were able, Gakuro wanted to be careful on the matter. Instead, he kept improving the shinobi system, making the system that is known today.
After Gakuro was more or less content, he noticed that other villages started to rise. Because he knew that he had to also be careful of choosing a successor, he started to educate and groom several people that he took as his students. The previous four Konohagakure Elders, Daisuke Uchiha and some unnamed others were chosen to become his students. But on his deathbed, Gakuro however appointed Daisuke as his successor. This was the start however of a secret war between two camps.
Gakuro had the vision of an united land. Daisuke saw this as a balance kept between the powerful villages, but the four pupils that would come to known as the Four Konoha Elders saw it differently. They thought that their passed sensei and First Hokage had meant that Konoha should become the powerful center of the world.
Thus began the underground war between Daisuke and is against the Elders. A war that was first needed to be prepared before years later to burst out.
War and Preparation,
Daisuke Uchiha, The Second Hokage and Dragon of Konohagakure
After Gakuro Senju passed, Daisuke took his place as Hokage. Being the leader of the Uchiha and so far the only one that has been able to get the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, due dead of his sister that died to an unknown illness. Not only was he rumoured to be able to be more than a challenge for Gakuro, proving his battle skills, Daisuke also had the loyalty of the present clans in Konohagakure. The first four years of his reign were improving the situation between the clans and infrastructure of the Fire Country, instead of only Konohagakure.
And even as Hokage, he took up three students as he was well aware that war loomed over the lands. Some say that Daisuke had for that reason tried to make the clans within the Fire Nation more connected to each other. A few months before the war broke out, he had tried to make treaties and try to avoid the war, but somehow it seemed impossible as his offers kept rejected. One after another. The disappointed Hokage then simply prepared his own forces as it seemed that war would soon erupt. And it did.
However, even while surrounded by enemies from almost every side, the forces of Konohagakure stood their ground. The clans that were more than even united, showed the success of Daisuke's changes. The improved infrastructure also showed that Konohagakure was more than ready to fight for her ground. Appointing his students to lead the defences, Daisuke also managed to finish something he had created in secret. Taking only in the start Jinkama Moto, one of his students, in trust of what he had created, it became the start of the Dragon Lotus. Over the months of the first two years of the First Shinobi World War, Daisuke managed to recruit and convince many to join the ranks of a secret organization that worked and remained in the shadows. Dragon Lotus.
While Daisuke was busy to both keep Konohagakure safe as creating the secret organization, he began to notice that there was another unknown group that was fuelling the war. Nobody else than the Four Elders were having their own organization that kept the war fuelled, with own secret agents in the other villages. Their plan to cause the war, was simply to get one village at the top and then fulfil the dreams of Gakuro. Of an united land.
Knowing he couldn't just confront the Elders, as they were a bit surprised by the counter actions of Dragon Lotus, Daisuke informed the top of the secret organization about it. It was the start of a long underground war between the two groups. Between Dragon Lotus and what was called Koi's Agents.
But there was still a war to be fought. The fighting became only worse over time, as the Five great countries started to push each other, using bigger amounts of shinobi and tools of war. It started to become clear that Konohagakure would collaps in the end. Kirigakure was gaining ground, managing to conquer and hold a strip of the southern land. At the same time were Iwagakure and Sunagakure pushing against the defense line. Knowing he had to risk more, Daisuke took the alliance offer of Genmyou so that Konoha and Kumo could side together against Iwagakure.
It was also where names of some Konoha nin were gaining fame. Other than the commanders, some students of Daisuke were feared as what some called 'Kage Killers'. The First and Second Kazekage were killed by Zakito Hon, while Jinkama Moto managed to kill the First Mizukage. Both known as students of Daisuke Moto and feared nin, the fronts began to change. Iwagakure was being pushed back, while Sunagakure was forced back with the loss of two leaders in a row. Even Kirigakure that first had looked as the strongest force in the war, was losing ground.
Now with their growing successes, the forces of Konohagakure started to press the situation. Only to suffer a heavy blow as it turned out that Daisuke had been assassinated. Just after he had appointed Zakito Hon as his successor. Taking the news and loss, Jinkama Moto took over the leading role as the General of Konoha. Under the combined leadership of Zakito and Jinkama, the forces of Konoha first managed to force Sunagakure to resign from the war. Iwagakure soon followed after Kumogakure had managed to kill the First Tsuchikage, forcing the Stone to resign from the war as well. It were just now Konohagakure and Kirigakure.
With Kumogakure resigning from the war, it were just Konoha and Kirigakure. Beating the enemy nin and winning ground, the forces of Konoha started to keep winning ground. Eventually, they were very close to Kirigakure. While Zakito and Jinkama were trying to make the Mist to sign a peace treaty, the forces of Kirigakure suddenly sallied out. Outnumbering and with experienced troops, Konohagakure won the last battle. The battle where the Second Mizukage was killed by Jinkama Moto. Kirigakure soon signed the peace treaty and it marked the end of the First Shinobi World War.
The Decade of Peace and underground warfare.,
Zakito Hon, The Third Hokage and White Wolf
With the war finally over, Konohagakure stood together with Kumogakure at the top. But the fighting had damaged the infrastructure of the nation. The peace treaties managed that Konoha asserted trade rights over several countries as well gaining some ground. With that, Zakito started to rebuild the forces as economy. His main focus was to make sure that a war wouldn't erupt, but also that if it would happen that the nation wouldn't receive the same beating as before. In his opinion it was sheer luck and the fact they had some good commanders that they hadn't been overwhelmed by the enemy nin. Also as the youngest Kage that ever had been selected to lead, Zakito organized the Hokage Guard. A small group that were designed to keep him safe, as Zakito had made an enemy out of Sunagakure with the fact that he managed to kill two Kazekages.
But it was also where the underground war between Dragon Lotus against the Agents of Koi began to increase in scale. Jinkama recruited Zakito into the order and together they began to subtly fight back against the followers and agents of the Four Elders. Though peace remained and nobody ever took notice of this war, it was every where. Many shinobi that were branded as missing nin were either framed or becoming one because they were at the side of one or another. On the surface, nobody could see the underground war, but it was what kept the Elders from causing another war.
Though the Dragon Lotus managed to keep any information about them secret, the Four Elders managed to gain more ground. They started a real witch kind of hunt. People who were close to Zakito, as they believed the Third Hokage as a member of the Dragon Lotus, were starting to be framed. It resulted in the break up of the Hokage Guard, as both Hisoka Uchiha and Meisa Ichi left the Leaf for two years.
However, the Elders couldn't simply frame Zakito as the man was too loved and respected by the Leaf. Even though he had gained good successes, he had managed to build a healthy relationship with Iwagakure and managed to gain a starting talk of another alliance with Kumogakure. In other words, people started to view him as the one that could keep another World War from happening. But the same didn't count for Jinkama Moto. The Elders managed to get Jinkama angry and at a point a fight broke out. Even while the Elders were high classified shinobi, Jinkama kept his own ground until a mysterious figure with a white mask brought him away from the battle.
Without his jounin commander, Zakito stood alone for the task of governing the Leaf. Without the Hokage Guard, Jinkama and such, Zakito noticed that the Elders were trying to win ground against him. Because of that, he tried to give the Elders a wrong image. By acting lazy and easy going, he kept the Elders on a wrong track, while actively working on fighting against their influence. But in the year of 472, just a year after the alliance between Konoha and Kumogakure, the Nine Tails attack the Leaf. It was a surprise as ever since the last jinchuriki had died in the First Shinobi World War, the people of Konoha hadn't hear or expect the beast to attack them again. Though, the ANBU and Zakito had prepared a little and with that, the Third Hokage managed to seal the Kyuubi again. However, Konoha had endured quite some damage and was in need to rebuild it again. The attack of the Kyuubi however marked the end of the Decade of Peace.
Several months, Sunagakure suddenly declared war against Konohagakure as they launched troops in rapid speed into the Land of Fire. Rallying the forces of Konohagakure, Zakito took the service of Naomi Hanamoto as his assistant as he chose several people to lead divisions. He then lead them as the commander against the onslaught of Sunagakure, knowing through messages that Kumogakure would back them up. With gaining victories over the Sand forces, repelling them in an unmatched speed out of their land, Zakito led a combined force of Konoha and Kumo into the Wind Country. There he continued to lead the fights as the war dragged on for several months. It finally stopped as Zakito managed to kill the Third Kazekage in the last battle, where the combined forces of Kumo and Konoha also managed to defeat the One Tailed Beast.
Some young people, such as Kensuke Nimatsu started to make a name here.
Betrayal and second chances.,
Hisoka Uchiha, Fourth Hokage and Seeker
After the short war, Zakito would meet the Third Raikage in a meeting. It was set in the Palace of Peace within the Hotspring Country. But it turned out to be a trap by a mysterious group, that was allied with Koi's Agents. There the small group managed to kill Genmyou, while wounding Zakito. The latter managed to fled the scene, wounded. With the news spreading, the assistant Naomi Hanamoto declared while she posed as Genmyou that it was Konohagakure that had killed Genmyou. It was not an act that was done as mockery to Zakito's achievements of keeping the peace, but to slowly stir up a conflict again as the Elders took over Konohagakure. They started to try to hunt down more Dragon Lotus members, as a group of the secret faction started to rise from the shadow. Such as Jinkama Moto. Zakito however wasn't seen anywhere, many thinking the man had died already.
Been sent on missions, many were facing against members of the Dragon Lotus. Missions that were very important, such as the capturing of the Two Tails, kept being bothered by members of the Dragon Lotus. Evenvtually during a battle between Team 4 and 6 against two high ranked Dragon Lotus members, Zakito arrived on the scene. Defending and rescuing his adoptive daughter, he soon faced against a white masked man, that was called Dragon. After a fierce fight, Zakito was seem to be killed and brought back to Konohagakure. Under the influence of the Elders some saw Zakito as the source that their influence and might wasn't like how it was in Daisuke's time. It didn't stop the fact that the members of the Dragon Lotus were still moving around, as their plan to stop the Elders was coming closer.
It continued on like that until the Chuunin Exam at the capital of the Rice Country. There the factions of Dragon Lotus and Agent's of Koi waged a huge battle. Only, unlike how they had planned it, the forces of the Elders were facing against the shinobi of every village as well. The members of the Dragon Lotus hadn't dressed differently, making it impossible for many to know they fought side by side against the Agents of the Elders. It was however the rampaging of the Two and Nine Tails hosts that caused the most damage to the city.
Meanwhile, a host of Konoha nin managed to arrive at the scene. Contacted by an unknown person who had introduced himself as 'Mutual Friend', Hisoka Uchiha and Meisa Ichi were brought together at the Tomb of Daisuke Uchiha. There they met Team 4 and Yumi Hasewaga. Informed of what was going on, the Uchiha decided to head to Keishi to gain the Daimyo's support. Convincing the fooled Daimyo, Hisoka took a host of the garrisoned Konoha nin and lead them to the Capital of the Rice. Once the battle was over, each village decided to go back and keep contacts with each other on a minimum. It also revealed that Zakito wasn't dead. Using the help of his good friend, Chang, who was a very infamous medical nin and head of the Konoha Hospital, Zakito didn't took the title of Hokage. Instead, he simply managed to arrange that Hisoka would take the title. But it wasn't just Zakito who returned to the Leaf. Jinkama Moto returned as well and gained the rank and seat of Jounin commander, a position that gave many hope and trust in the newest Hokage.
Appointing Meisa Ichi as his assistant, Hisoka is seen as the Hokage who further more improved the infrastructure and might of the Fire country, thus Konohagakure. Inspired by the ideas of Meisa Ici, he started to create the Fire Union, bringing some of the surrounding smaller countries into an union that would work close together. Though the smaller countries were nothing more than actual vassals, Hisoka was seen as what some said a good example of a Hokage, even wondering if he would become just like Daisuke, Hisoka's uncle.
Only while the Fire Union was growing and gaining strength, they soon were surprised by the Oppression of Shoji. Though they managed to fight back and liberate themselves, Konohagakure stands on the brink of a new dawn. The death of Jinkama Moto sounds the bell of a new time in the Leaf, as the Fire Union keeps growing and the might of the Leaf is the greatest now among the Hidden Villages.

Even though he had gained good successes, he had managed to build a healthy relationship with Iwagakure and managed to gain a starting talk of another alliance with Kumogakure. In other words, people started to view him as the one that could keep another World War from happening. But the same didn't count for Jinkama Moto. The Elders managed to get Jinkama angry and at a point a fight broke out. Even while the Elders were high classified shinobi, Jinkama kept his own ground until a mysterious figure with a white mask brought him away from the battle.
Without his jounin commander, Zakito stood alone for the task of governing the Leaf. Without the Hokage Guard, Jinkama and such, Zakito noticed that the Elders were trying to win ground against him. Because of that, he tried to give the Elders a wrong image. By acting lazy and easy going, he kept the Elders on a wrong track, while actively working on fighting against their influence. But in the year of 472, just a year after the alliance between Konoha and Kumogakure, the Nine Tails attack the Leaf. It was a surprise as ever since the last jinchuriki had died in the First Shinobi World War, the people of Konoha hadn't hear or expect the beast to attack them again. Though, the ANBU and Zakito had prepared a little and with that, the Third Hokage managed to seal the Kyuubi again. However, Konoha had endured quite some damage and was in need to rebuild it again. The attack of the Kyuubi however marked the end of the Decade of Peace.
Several months, Sunagakure suddenly declared war against Konohagakure as they launched troops in rapid speed into the Land of Fire. Rallying the forces of Konohagakure, Zakito took the service of Naomi Hanamoto as his assistant as he chose several people to lead divisions. He then lead them as the commander against the onslaught of Sunagakure, knowing through messages that Kumogakure would back them up. With gaining victories over the Sand forces, repelling them in an unmatched speed out of their land, Zakito led a combined force of Konoha and Kumo into the Wind Country. There he continued to lead the fights as the war dragged on for several months. It finally stopped as Zakito managed to kill the Third Kazekage in the last battle, where the combined forces of Kumo and Konoha also managed to defeat the One Tailed Beast.
Some young people, such as Kensuke Nimatsu started to make a name here.
Betrayal and second chances.,
Hisoka Uchiha, Fourth Hokage and Seeker
After the short war, Zakito would meet the Third Raikage in a meeting. It was set in the Palace of Peace within the Hotspring Country. But it turned out to be a trap by a mysterious group, that was allied with Koi's Agents. There the small group managed to kill Genmyou, while wounding Zakito. The latter managed to fled the scene, wounded. With the news spreading, the assistant Naomi Hanamoto declared while she posed as Genmyou that it was Konohagakure that had killed Genmyou. It was not an act that was done as mockery to Zakito's achievements of keeping the peace, but to slowly stir up a conflict again as the Elders took over Konohagakure. They started to try to hunt down more Dragon Lotus members, as a group of the secret faction started to rise from the shadow. Such as Jinkama Moto. Zakito however wasn't seen anywhere, many thinking the man had died already.
Been sent on missions, many were facing against members of the Dragon Lotus. Missions that were very important, such as the capturing of the Two Tails, kept being bothered by members of the Dragon Lotus. Evenvtually during a battle between Team 4 and 6 against two high ranked Dragon Lotus members, Zakito arrived on the scene. Defending and rescuing his adoptive daughter, he soon faced against a white masked man, that was called Dragon. After a fierce fight, Zakito was seem to be killed and brought back to Konohagakure. Under the influence of the Elders some saw Zakito as the source that their influence and might wasn't like how it was in Daisuke's time. It didn't stop the fact that the members of the Dragon Lotus were still moving around, as their plan to stop the Elders was coming closer.
It continued on like that until the Chuunin Exam at the capital of the Rice Country. There the factions of Dragon Lotus and Agent's of Koi waged a huge battle. Only, unlike how they had planned it, the forces of the Elders were facing against the shinobi of every village as well. The members of the Dragon Lotus hadn't dressed differently, making it impossible for many to know they fought side by side against the Agents of the Elders. It was however the rampaging of the Two and Nine Tails hosts that caused the most damage to the city.
Meanwhile, a host of Konoha nin managed to arrive at the scene. Contacted by an unknown person who had introduced himself as 'Mutual Friend', Hisoka Uchiha and Meisa Ichi were brought together at the Tomb of Daisuke Uchiha. There they met Team 4 and Yumi Hasewaga. Informed of what was going on, the Uchiha decided to head to Keishi to gain the Daimyo's support. Convincing the fooled Daimyo, Hisoka took a host of the garrisoned Konoha nin and lead them to the Capital of the Rice. Once the battle was over, each village decided to go back and keep contacts with each other on a minimum. It also revealed that Zakito wasn't dead. Using the help of his good friend, Chang, who was a very infamous medical nin and head of the Konoha Hospital, Zakito didn't took the title of Hokage. Instead, he simply managed to arrange that Hisoka would take the title. But it wasn't just Zakito who returned to the Leaf. Jinkama Moto returned as well and gained the rank and seat of Jounin commander, a position that gave many hope and trust in the newest Hokage.
Appointing Meisa Ichi as his assistant, Hisoka is seen as the Hokage who further more improved the infrastructure and might of the Fire country, thus Konohagakure. Inspired by the ideas of Meisa Ici, he started to create the Fire Union, bringing some of the surrounding smaller countries into an union that would work close together. Though the smaller countries were nothing more than actual vassals, Hisoka was seen as what some said a good example of a Hokage, even wondering if he would become just like Daisuke, Hisoka's uncle.
Only while the Fire Union was growing and gaining strength, they soon were surprised by the Oppression of Shoji. Though they managed to fight back and liberate themselves, Konohagakure stands on the brink of a new dawn. The death of Jinkama Moto sounds the bell of a new time in the Leaf, as the Fire Union keeps growing and the might of the Leaf is the greatest now among the Hidden Villages.
But the questions remains :
Will it give rise to another period of peace, like the Decade of Peace or will it give rise to another period of bloodshed, sorrow and hatred?
Will it give rise to another period of peace, like the Decade of Peace or will it give rise to another period of bloodshed, sorrow and hatred?
