History

Wars and the Uchiha

During the Second Ninja World War, Konoha fights the Land of Rain. Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Tsunade command its forces against Salamander Hanzo; Xia Le kills Hanzo, and the returning force is celebrated in Konoha 570 576 579 582. Afterward, Xia Le’s proposed Akatsuki Squad offers a political compromise over the Uchiha’s control of village policing 591.

In the Third Ninja World War, Konoha sends Fugaku Uchiha, Xia Le, and Akatsuki to its northwestern front against Iwagakure. Their victories strengthen Konoha militarily but deepen its leadership’s concern about Uchiha influence 633 649 650. Before the war ends, Hiruzen appoints Minato as Fourth Hokage, frustrating Fugaku’s hopes of seeking the office 652 654.

Nine-Tails disaster and its aftermath

The Nine-Tails’ attack kills Minato and Kushina and devastates Konoha. The Uchiha clan is attacked on the same night; its survivors confront the village, then leave for the Hidden Rain Village 664 666 678. Hiruzen imposes an official account blaming a mysterious force for the clan’s destruction 678.

Years later, Konoha hosts the Chūnin Exams. Sunagakure attacks during the event under a scheme arranged by Orochimaru, who kills Hiruzen while disguised as the Fourth Kazekage. Fighting stops after Sunagakure confirms the deception 782 785.

Alliance and reconstruction

When Danzō gathers Tailed Beasts and fields reanimated fighters, Konoha joins the other great nations in a Shinobi Alliance. Its Hokage, Kakashi, helps coordinate the response 806 807. After Xia Le defeats Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, the nations merge under one government. Rebuilt Konoha remains standing as Natural Energy cultivation begins to replace the ninja system 836.
