History

Founding and Uchiha exclusion

Konoha was founded jointly by the Senju and Uchiha clans; Ingetsu later states that its name was taken from the Uchiha. Over time, the Uchiha were politically suppressed, excluded, and moved to the village outskirts, while negative public opinion was directed toward them. 96 132

The Uchiha Military Police Force became the clan's principal institutional role within Konoha. Ingetsu served as a Police Force captain before the clan massacre. 1

Uchiha Clan Massacre

On the night of the massacre, Konoha's leadership chose to eradicate the Uchiha rather than negotiate over the clan's planned rebellion. Itachi carried out the killings with the masked man's assistance, while Ingetsu led surviving Uchiha away from the village. 2 3 127 149

Afterward, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Hokage advisors publicly attributed the massacre to Ingetsu and the defecting Uchiha squad. The village designated the group as missing-nin while concealing the actual circumstances of the massacre. 12 13

Fall and Uchiha takeover

Konoha was later attacked simultaneously by Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure, forcing Hiruzen to abandon the front and return to defend the village. 115

Ingetsu returned with the Uchiha, revealed the massacre's truth through Eight Thousand Spears, declared the Uchiha's claim to Konoha, and announced war on the wider Shinobi World. 132 133

The Uchiha seized control of the village, captured Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzō, and Asuma, and drove out most of the old Konoha forces. Civilians were permitted to leave the occupied village. 135 138

Reconstruction and expansion

Following the war, Iwagakure ninja assisted with rebuilding Konoha, while the Uchiha restored their compound and reoccupied the village's political center. 140 145

Ingetsu released more than a thousand previously sealed ninja from multiple villages, issued them Konoha headbands, and incorporated them into the new village's forces. 140

The reanimated Uchiha were integrated into Konoha's departments, restoring the village's depleted core manpower. The Uchiha elders subsequently recognized Ingetsu as both clan leader and the new Hokage. 149

Konoha resumed accepting external missions after reconstruction, with the Uchiha elders administering village affairs and resource distribution. 174

Shinobi World unification

Under Uchiha rule, Konoha absorbed or reorganized other major ninja villages. Sunagakure fell under Konoha's authority, while former Cloud and Stone ninja were assigned the Cloud District and Iwa District within Konoha. 268 326

Konoha was damaged again by the Ten-Tails, but its leadership continued accommodating returning clans and allocating territory to allied groups. 328

Several years later, Konoha no longer restrained its expansion and unified the Shinobi World to consolidate resources against Ōtsutsuki and external threats. 482

Trivia

• The village's original Uchiha-derived police structure gave its elders experience in administration before they assumed control of Konoha. 174
• The new Konoha initially had only four to five hundred core ninja, far fewer than the old village at its peak. 149
