History
Hashirama and Tobirama Senju are described as founders and guardians of Konoha. Hiruzen Sarutobi later recounts how distrust between the Senju-led village and the Uchiha Clan deepened after Madara Uchiha's rebellion 67 124.
Orochimaru invades during the Chunin Exam, using a disguise and a barrier around the Hokage's viewing platform while Sand and Sound ninja attack the village 34. Later, the Six Paths of Pain breach Konoha's defenses. Pain's immense repulsive attack reduces the village to a vast crater, though Naruto's Nine-Tails Chakra barrier protects survivors 76 80.
Villagers begin rebuilding, with Yamato using Wood Release to construct houses. Tsunade remains unconscious after exhausting her chakra in the defense of Konoha 86. Following the war, she awakens, fallen shinobi are resurrected, and Naruto is inaugurated as the Sixth Hokage 140.
