Konohagakure

Konohagakure (木ノ葉隠れの里, Konohagakure no Sato; Literally meaning "Village Hidden Among Tree Leaves"; also known as "Village Hidden in the Leaves" or "Hidden Leaf Village") is the Hidden Village of the Land of Fire. As one of the five Great Ninja Villages, Konohagakure has a Kage as its leader known as the Hokage. There have been five Hokage, the present one being Yūmei. Although Konoha, much like the country in which it resides, has been relatively peaceful since the chain of wars that have occurred in the past, it remains one of the most powerful villages in existence, and has great military power and influence.

In-Game Rules
These rules apply directly to those who [mainstream] role-play within Konoha:
 * 1) No foreigners are to auto-enter or exit Konoha. Doing so will result in a warning, ask for said player to repost, and if they don't comply, they will be ignored.
 * 2) Only active members of the Hidden Leaf Village may role-play Konoha's NPCs.
 * 3) Follow the 'How to zone fight' part of the SL wiki as closely as possible.
 * 4) Abide by the decisions made by the higher ups within the village, even if you don't agree with them.
 * 5) If you have a problem with a decision made concerning you, or others, from Konoha Higher Ups, bring it to their attention directly. Don't let the hurt or disagreement go unsaid for 2 months, only to go rogue or do some action against the village. We can't help you if you don't speak to us about your problems.
 * 6) If you role-play within the village, you are subjected to the posts of others attempting to interact with you. If their post is fair and fit, and you fail to 'protect' yourself, or 'evade' the other player's attempt by your next post, they have the opportunity to legitimately auto-hit you, just like in the zone fights.
 * 7) Posts designed to interact with characters not presently online (i.e. attacking the local dwellings district) will be rendered null until there are -capable- defenders online in the case of acts relating to terrorism, or simply the character(s) requested by the primitive poster to formally address their post. This literally means that invasions against the village, be they internal or external, will be nullified until there is a suitable number of defenders online (in comparison to the quantity of invaders); posts that interact with another character who had just recently went offline or was at the time the post was made, already offline, it will be frozen until the other party responds (locking the engaging characters in role-play) and vice versa.

Internally

 * There is a general intolerance towards members of Kumogakure.
 * Numerous squads of ANBU (consisting of around 4-5 members each) are patrolling the village, although most are stationed on the wall and the Hokage Monument, the latter location hosting two rows of mortars augmented to strike aerial foes and key locations of the village.
 * Numerous ice swallow-familiars scour the village.

Externally

 * Numerous ice swallow-familiars scour the forest.

Sensing System Technique
This is a detection type barrier that can be used to surround an area and allows the users to monitor a certain area. The barrier can also be moved according the the requirements of the user. Notably its circumference is spaced two-meters away from the wall. It surrounds all of Konohagakure and is used to detect anyone entering and leaving the village even from the sky or below the earth. The dome has a pattern on it similar to the crest of the Barrier Team. The barrier is essentially a dome covering the village, although it probably continues underground to form a sphere. The circles on the barrier hold the kanji for boundary (界), the second kanji in the word "barrier" (結界, kekkai).

Gargantuan Blocking Technique Absorption Seal
A barrier empowered by a crystal located within the depths of the Hokage Residence, its circumference encircles the village's walls, one-meter away from them to be precise. Whenever it is active, all ninjutsu that makes contact with it, whether it originate from the inside or the outside, will be absorbed. Unlike the standard technique, the barrier does not absorb the chakra of living organisms that pass through it, predominantly humans at that. It may only be deactivated by somebody possessing the Preta Path and knows of the technique-specific hand seal that the Hokage himself created. Those possessing the Preta Seal may completely ignore the barrier's effect, though.

Space-Time Ninjutsu Disruption Barrier
The Space-Time Ninjutsu Disruption Barrier (時空間忍術茶々結界, Jikūkan Ninjutsu Houkai Kekkai) is permanently sustained by a special object of sorts of which existent within an undisclosed location somewhere in the village, the barrier of which prevents anyone from traversing beyond it from either side through the means of space-time ninjutsu. This barrier extends roughly 100 meters beyond the village walls and is, as the other barriers, a spherically shapped one, half of it being under ground, this design being intended to prevent others from attempting to evade it by the means of entering from the sky or from underground. The Space-Time Ninjutsu Disruption Barrier was erected by Darkshinobi at a time at which the Yondaime Hokage was declared enemy of Konoha. Even after the latter's status was forsaken, the barrier was left standing due to it's usefulness.

Magnum Opus Barrier
A barrier empowered by numerous crystals located within the depths of the Hokage Residence, its circumference is that of the wall encircling the village. Its activated-state is dependent upon other barriers in effect, of which it will either temporarily nullify, or be forced to remain dormant until those in effect are disabled. When the Magnum Opus Barrier is activated, non-users of Power Release, or those lacking possession of the Magnum Opus seal will have their chakra gradually sapped, whilst being wrapped in cages of red lightning, which despite not entirely incapacitating them, drastically impair their neural synapses, thus making even movement a heavy burden. This barrier cannot be deactivated without Yūmei forming the technique specific seal a second time.

Trivia

 * The second fanbook gives Konohagakure a population size of five out of five stars, a military strength of three out of five stars, and an economic strength of two out of five stars. It has the greatest population of all the five main shinobi villages.
 * The hiragana あん (an) is painted on the entrance gates of the village (one hiragana on each door). This means hermitage or retreat. In Kanji, the character is 庵.
 * Masashi Kishimoto stated, "Yes, there is [a model for Konoha]; it's my hometown."
 * In the first Naruto book, The Tests of the Ninja, page 87, you will see a sketch of downtown Konoha. If you look closely, you may also see a billboard with a cartoon version of Masashi Kishimoto with a paintbrush.
