Background Konohagakure is the Hidden Village of the Land of Fire and is one of the five great Shinobi Villages. Konohagakure holds the reputation of one of the strongest Hidden Villages in terms of military power, due mostly to the vastness of the Land of Fire. Encompassing the second largest inhabitable area of land, the village is able to pick various individuals from its large population for ninja training. For the most part, those selected for training are younger than twelve years old. The Shodaime Hokage enforced this regulation upon the founding of the village and it has been carried on to the present. Despite the specific age regulation for entering the ninja academy, no rule has been passed limiting the age of graduation. On average, students of the academy graduate within three to four years after entering. Geography Hidden near the center of the Land of Fire, Konohagakure is surrounded by a lush, overgrown forest that obscures it from view in all directions. The area encompassing Konohagakure produces more than enough food to support its citizens. The village's location has many advantages; however, with it comes many disadvantages as well. Due to the richness of resources, the surrounding countries often push the limits of the borders of the Land of Fire and encroach on its land. This often forces Konohagakure to react and engage in minor battles. Although there have been some engagements with enemy forces, none have escalated into all out war.

History Initially, the Land of Fire was composed of nothing more than various hunting and fishing nomads. Grouping together based on familial ties, these wandering clans rarely ventured far from the group. On a few occasions, two groups would come into contact with each other; however, with the Land of Fire having abundant land and resources, the two clans would separate without conflict. After the Rikidou Sennin introduced chakra to these simple nomads, each clan began to settle down and stake a claim on their area. The advent of this territorial nature introduced conflict into lives of the denizens of the Land of Fire. Several years of in-fighting ensued and began ravaging the land. Eventually, two leaders of advanced chakra using clans, Kazuo Wakuno and Nobuo Ohayashi, came together and agreed to pursue an end to all the fighting. United under Kazuo's charge, this combined force attempted to bring harmony to the feuding clans through logic and reason. Most heeded their words; however, two clans refused to listen and both sides were gaining tremendous numbers and immense skill with chakra. Just as the two sides were about to clash in an all-out war, Kazuo arrived to prevent the impending doom. Using his advanced Futon jutsu, he carved a gash so deep in the earth that it scarred the land and created a vast canyon between the two sides. Although his method divided the two sides and stopped a war from ensuing, the chakra required for the technique also ended his life. Today, the canyon that was created is known as the Valley of End. With the entire nation in harmony, Nobuo utilized the unity of various clans under a single banner to create the first hidden village. Since then, each person selected for the title of Hokage has come from the Ohayashi clan. Edited by Kago, Oct 25 2011, 10:16:39 AM.

ANBU: BLAZE The elite shinobi, special forces unit of Konohagakure, Battle-ready Legion: Advanced Zealots for Espionage, reports directly to the Hokage himself. As with any ANBU force, the mere mention of BLAZE strikes fear and respect in Konohagakure's enemies and pride amongst its denizens. Trusted with the village's most advanced techniques, BLAZE requires the utmost loyalty from its members. As such, each ninja has an advanced fuinjin seal placed upon their body to seal away its techniques should the user die. These seals are perminent, even those shinobi who have left BLAZE for more suitable roles still possess the seal. The selection process for entry into BLAZE is veiled in secrecy; however, being the advanced guard for the Hokage, the final say in its chosen members lies with him.
