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 six Hokage, the present one being Nathan . 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.The shinobi of this village wear blue or black shirts which may or may not have swirl patterns on the shoulders, along with matching coloured pants over a green flak jacket which also has a red swirl on the back, and pockets on the chest area. They also tend to wrap bandages around their legs.

In-Game Rules

These rules apply directly to those who [mainstream] role-play within Konoha:

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.
Only active members of the Hidden Leaf Village may role-play Konoha's NPCs, and may only control NPC's of a rank below their own (for instance, an ANBU-ranked character can control the actions of Jōnin NPC's, and a ANBU Taichō-ranked character can control the actions of ANBU NPC's).
Follow the 'How to zone fight' part of the SL wiki as closely as possible.
Abide by the decisions made by the higher ups within the village, even if you don't agree with them.
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.
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 zone fights.
Posts designed to interact with characters not presently online (i.e. attacking the local dwellings district) will be rendered null until there are competent 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.

Defensive Measures

Sensing System Technique

An invisible dome-shaped sensory barrier that extends half a mile outside the village walls which also surrounds the sky and and the earth below the village. It is directly linked to a sphere of water under the Hokage's mansion and shows enemies and Konoha shinobi/villagers all the same. The sphere of water projects the entire village within and Green dots resemble Allies (Konoha shinobi or visitors that have been given the all clear from the sensory team and guards) while the Red dots resemble enemies (those without the all clear). The barrier is maintained at all times thanks to the village barrier team.

There are also multiple cameras that are connected to the sensory room monitors.

Root System

The Senju Grand Tree’s roots span throughout the entirety of Konoha and even into the outskirts of the village into the forest. The roots are capable of sensing those who step above them; allow the Mayfly technique to be used more easily by those associated with the tree; and to be used as a weapon by the current master(s) of the tree. By using the roots from the tree the user can have them sprout up anywhere instantly and restrain the target whilst also draing the target's chakra. Not only that, but they can turn into other Mokuton techniques such as sprouting different types of flowers that do a variety of things. The roots can also drag the target down into the ground -- similar to the Mayfly technique -- and then bring them to the Senju Prison Cell.

Landmarks

Clans and Organizations

Within the village there are very powerful and well respected clans and organizations. Of these there are currently two clans which are regarded as noble clans. These are the: Hyūga and Uchiha clans. All officially-recognized clans and organizations affiliated with the village are:

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.
