History
The Third Shinobi World War
Konoha's Ninja Academy trains children from the village, including Kakashi, Obito, Rin, and Uchiha Shisui. Shisui's walk to the academy reveals civilians' persistent hostility toward the Uchiha clan 3 4. During the war, Konoha deploys forces against other villages and establishes a Medical Corps that improves its soldiers' survival rate 27.
In Konoha's 48th year, a Hyuga defeat on the Mist battlefield prompts the village leadership to consider deploying the Uchiha clan there 28. The war ends in Konoha's 50th year. Hiruzen Sarutobi steps down as Third Hokage, and Namikaze Minato becomes Fourth Hokage 33.

Three years later, Konoha has rebuilt. Hiruzen convenes its clan heads to discuss recovering the missing beast. With no conclusive evidence against the Uchiha clan, he rejects calls to move against them and authorizes an investigation into rogue ninja wearing black cloaks with red clouds 59.
