Founding of Konohagakure

Who created the hidden leaf village?

Before Konoha was made the clans knew nothing but war.

The two clans Uchiha and Senju who were the founder of the village also fought wars against each other.

Hashirama Senju wanted to end this bloodshed and dreamed of creating peace.

He used his power as the leader of the Senju Clan to enter a truce with the Uchiha Clan through their leader and his friend Madara Uchiha.

Both clans formed the first shinobi village and named it Konohagakure.

Who named the hidden leaf village?

Interestingly, Madara himself named the village.

Hashirama with the use of his Wood Release Jutsu helped in the village’s infrastructure.

He was chosen to be the leader of the village because of his noble ideals and abilities.

Madara feared that the Senju Clan would try to rule over Uchiha Clan.

He tried to gather support to fight against Hashirama but since no Uchiha helped him, he was forced to fight Hashirama alone.

However, Madara was defeated at the Valley of the End and was believed to be dead.

This is how Konoha came into the possession of Kyuubi or Nine-tail Fox, Kurama.

Uzumaki Clan was the only clan that could contain the power of a Tailed-Beast.

As a result, the cycle of sealing Kyuubi within the Uzumaki Clan began.

Clans

Hyuga and Uchiha are the two strongest clans in Konohagakure.

Hyuga Clan with their possession of Byakugan is the descendent of the Otsutsuki Clan.

Uchiha Clan possesses the kekkei genkai, Sharingan, which is also among the three “Great Dojutsu”, along with Byakugan and Rinnegan.

Sharingan is related to the Rinne Sharingan of Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Read in detail about every Konohagakure Clan.

Now, in Boruto they are all adults who work for the welfare of The hidden leaf village.

Konoha was reconstructed after the Pain’s Arc in the Naruto Series.

However, in the Boruto Series, Konoha is a modern city with trains and a movie hall around the village.

It’s the feeling of nostalgia I tell you.
