History
Foundation and old administration
Konoha was jointly founded by the Senju and Uchiha clans, with its name stated to derive from the Uchiha. By the time of the Uchiha clan's destruction, the Senju had largely withdrawn from public life. 132
Under the Second Hokage's system, the Uchiha were shaped into a weapon for external conflict while also becoming the focus of negative public opinion inside the village. They were politically marginalized, restricted from advancement, and confined to the outskirts through the Uchiha Compound. 96 127
Night of the Clan Annihilation
During the Night of the Clan Annihilation, Itachi Uchiha and a masked accomplice attacked the Uchiha Compound, with the masked man targeting the Police Headquarters and its Sharingan stockpile. 2
Konoha's leadership subsequently presented Uchiha Ingetsu as the clan's exterminator and accepted his defection with surviving Uchiha as the official explanation. Sarutobi Hiruzen sealed the Uchiha Compound and restricted travel in an attempt to control the spread of information. 13 93
The loss of the Uchiha, Danzō, Root personnel, and other forces severely weakened the village. Konoha mobilized almost all available forces—supplemented by Sunagakure, minor villages, rogue ninja, and bandits—to pursue Ingetsu's squad; the total force approached ten thousand. 59
Siege and fall
Konoha's weakened position drew attacks from Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and eventually Sunagakure. Its protective barrier was expected to last only one day against the three-village siege. 115 118
Civilians were evacuated into the shelter beneath Hokage Rock, with clan members prioritized ahead of ordinary residents in the evacuation line. 118
The Uchiha entered the conflict after the invading villages had devastated Konoha, defeated the remaining opposition, and expelled the old Konoha factions and foreign invaders. Approximately 1,500 former Konoha ninja escaped with Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura. 138
Uchiha occupation
After taking control, Yinyue declared that the Uchiha would rebuild Konoha on the land they had helped found. He also declared war on the Ninja World, arguing that the old order had perpetuated division and hatred. 132
Yinyue became Hokage of the new Konoha. The former clan territories of the Hyuga, Ino–Shika–Chō, Aburame, Inuzuka, and other major families were left vacant after their expulsion. 149
The new village initially possessed only four to five hundred core ninja, even after the resurrection of deceased Uchiha through Impure World Reincarnation. The revived Uchiha and surviving Uchiha squad members were assigned to administrative departments to fill the leadership shortage. 145 149
Reconstruction and renewed destruction
Ōnoki and Iwagakure rebuilt Konoha with Earth Release, beginning with the Hokage Building and expanding into residential districts. 139
The first reconstruction restored the village one-to-one, including streets, shops, parks, shelters, and the main gate. The Iwagakure forces also filled the crater created by the battle involving the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Perfect Susanoo, and Wood-Style Great Buddha. 174
Konoha was later destroyed again during the Ten-Tails crisis. Its residents and allied village populations subsequently returned as reconstruction began anew. 301 328
Governance
- Hokage: Uchiha Yinyue/Ingetsu assumed the Hokage's office after the Uchiha takeover. 140 149
- Administration: Tsunade handled personnel appointments and village affairs, while the Uchiha elders and squad members became department heads and core officials. 145 149
- Political status: The new Konoha separated from the Land of Fire and rejected the former model of one ninja village serving one country. 141
- Labor and recruitment: More than one thousand captured ninja from other villages were released and made into Uchiha ninja to expand Konoha's workforce. 140
- Territorial rule: After the Ninja World's unification, the former Five Great Shinobi Villages were dispatched to govern local regions under Konoha's domain. 482
Population and Integration
- Uchiha Clan — Konoha's ruling clan after the occupation; surviving and resurrected members formed much of the early administrative and military backbone. 145 149
- Sky Ninja Village — Its ninja were integrated into Konoha after Yinyue brought the King's Fortress back as the village's core territory. 145
- Otogakure — Orochimaru agreed to merge Otogakure into the new Konoha in exchange for freedom to continue his private experiments. 141
- Uzumaki and Tsuchigumo clans — Both clans were gathered under Yinyue's banner and later contributed personnel and sealing expertise. 115 286
- Former Konoha clans — The Hyuga, Ino–Shika–Chō, Aburame, Inuzuka, and other former residents eventually returned alongside Tsunade. 327 328
- Kumogakure, Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Kirigakure populations — Their forces and civilians were relocated into Konoha, where temporary housing, materials, and district allocations were arranged. 326 327 328
Infrastructure and Defenses
- Hokage Building — The center of village administration. It was rebuilt after the Uchiha takeover and again served as the seat of Yinyue's government. 140 174
- Hokage Rock shelter — A large civilian war shelter beneath Hokage Rock, later repaired and expanded with additional safety passages during reconstruction. 118 174
- Village barrier — Konoha maintained a large protective barrier that could be restored through chakra input, though it was overwhelmed during the three-village siege. 121
- King's Fortress — A floating fortress used as the new Konoha's central territory and later connected to the ground as part of the village defense system. 145 392
- Defense forces — By the Ōtsutsuki conflict, Konoha could mobilize more than 100,000 ninja. 392
- Sealing technology — Uzumaki sealing techniques and chakra-storage devices powered parts of the fortress's infrastructure. 286
- Drone network — Sunagakure-developed triangular puppets equipped with surveillance systems and projectile weapons were deployed for Konoha's defense. 454
- Underground City — A completed underground development project overseen by Kurotsuchi, intended to be expanded after its successful completion. 489
Economy
Konoha retained substantial financial and military resources even after the first war. Once reconstruction stabilized, it resumed accepting external missions, primarily beginning with lower-ranked commissions. 140 174
Following the initial Uchiha takeover, the ruling clan distributed resources among the remaining residents to prevent internal conflict. 174
Role in Ninja World Unification
Konoha absorbed the other Great Shinobi Villages and became the focal point of resistance against the Ōtsutsuki and other external invaders. 482 496
Several years after the first Uchiha takeover, Konoha incorporated all known human civilizations in the Ninja World into its territory in order to centralize resources for defense and development. 482
